Hi Serj
Best time to apply for a ramp job would be between now and end of February. There’ll be a lot of recruiting, interviewing etc starting soon so I’d say look everywhere. They tend to start people in March, temporary contracts until September and if you’re really good, they’ll keep you on or give you an extension.
Servisair, Swissport, MAN Handling, Jet2 will all be recruiting. Jet2 already are I think, just go on their Jet2 Jobs website and apply online. I used to work at Premier Work Support in Heathrow and were good, gave interview quickly but just took them ages to sort out references, airside pass etc. If none of these companies get back to you after two week, ring them up. They deal with a lot of candidates.
It’s fine if you don’t have much experience, I never had any experience when I got my first job as a ramp agent at Servisair MAN at 18 yrs old. Just put on your CV all the skills they look for (team player, able to lift, excellent communication, quick and efficient worker, quick learner). Obviously you’ll need a driving license with no more than 3 points, but sometimes they make an exception.
Manchester Aiport Jobcentre always have a job fair around this time of year where you take your CV, fill out a few details about you and they’ll sit you down with a Menzies/Servisair staff and see if you’re up to the job.
Good luck! 🙂
