Telesia’s incredible story recently impressed Employment Consultant Sarndra.
If you have a passion for people and travel, then working at an airport is a fantastic career. Every day you will be helping travellers embark on new adventures. No one day will be the same!
What is it like to work at an airport?
Airports are very busy places. More than 420 planes take off and land every day at Auckland Airport alone. A career at the airport will therefore be fast-paced and varied. It suits people who have great customer service skills – you will likely meet hundreds of new faces every week. Airport staff also tend to be good problem-solvers who are able to think quickly on their feet.
