Lufthansa - this airline wants you!

It is becoming something of a tradition for Lufthansa to announce major recruitment drives at the turn of the year. This year is no exception and proves once again the resilience of the German flag carrier and its determination to expand even as the industry's growth globally begins to brake.
It is taking on 3,000 new staff this year. This is on top of the 2,500 new employees it recruited in 2006, and will take its global workforce to some 94,000 people, with a staggering 34,000 of them outside Germany.
The jobs suit a wide range of professions - and are advised and promoted via its impressive careers website - from 2,000 airport jobs at its Frankfurt and Munich hubs and including 1,200 flight attendants. Another 240 trainee pilots are to book into its Flight Training Centre in Bremen.
Lufthansa is proud of its attractiveness as an employer. It says that in a recent study conducted for the US business magazine Forbes by the New York Reputation Institute, more than 30,000 respondents from 25 countries voted Lufthansa among the top three most popular employers from 600 globally active companies.
Lufthansa takes recruiting very seriously and boasts of its flexibility with a variety of working-time models. For example, a seasonal job for flight attendants between March and October. Staff in passenger service jobs at the airports can also opt to work part-time for three or four days a week.
