For my work experience at the end of last year, I was fortunate enough to be given a placement in Qantas… you know the airline? My week at Qantas consisted of me arriving at their head office at Mascot at 8.30am. I was paired up with someone who had a position in the cabin crew operations team, which is the team that decides where and when cabin crew are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas has an open plan office which all centres around a green and there is an open space down the middle more commonly known as The Street. I was quite surprised that no private offices were present, and I was told that Vanessa Hudson (Qantas\u2019 CEO) didn\u2019t have a private office either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was given a schedule that mixed in practical experience and office work. The practical work involved trips to the engineering hangars, a walk around the Qantas T3 domestic terminal, which included a visit to the Chairmans lounge, and if you aren\u2019t aware, it\u2019s Qantas\u2019 ultra exclusive lounge reserved for their top members. (I hope one day to go back as a guest, not a tour recipient). The office work comprised of visiting different \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d staff and discussing what their department does to efficiently get aircraft off the ground in a cost effective and profit maximising way. I had meetings with Security, IFE (who manages the content onboard), Sustainability, Revenue Management, a pilot and Internal Operations. I also sat in on a course that teaches new cabin crew how to perform as per the standard operating procedures within Qantas\u2019 service guidelines, Loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main takeaways of the week was that you can have three different careers all in one company, Qantas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
