It's never too late to do something different or to fulfill a dream. If you are over 45 and looking for a career change, this could be an opportunity for you. easyJet has launched a recruitment campaign for cabin crew positions over the age of 45.
"Age is just a number," the airline said in a Facebook post advertising its cabin crew recruitment campaign. The airline said it had seen a 27% increase in cabin crew aged over 45, including a 30% increase in over 60s, in the past year.
The easyJet campaign polled British adults and 2.000 of them, aged over 45, said they would like to take on a new challenge once their children are done. More than half (58%) said they were excited to start a new career.
57% of respondents also said that now their children are no longer dependent on them and hope to find a new career in something they are truly passionate about. A fifth (20%) of adults even said they would like to work in the same company as their children in order to spend more time with them.
More than six in 10 (63%) of those surveyed said a career that allowed them to travel would be most desirable. In other words, they are ideal candidates sought by easyJet.
