Hi Keserie,
This is such a great question! Regarding any application to British Airways we always encourage our applicants to show case their best talents and their unique personality. We understand that every colleague is different and brings unique experience to the table. Regarding specifics to British Airways, I would recommend that your CV is clear, concise and shows what you can contribute to the role. Ensure you have the CV in a word document or PDF for submission. Most roles also will have two application questions to answer as well - these are just as important as your CV as it is your opportunity to really make your skills, motivations and personality stand out.
I hope that helps, and wishing you the best of luck!
