So I went for my second Open day at the weekend. Around the same amount of people as the first time.
Last time I went I was really into answering all the questions bout do we know EK and have we been to DXB etc... and then in the group activities, looking back, I think I may of been too vocal during the group stages, so then it wasnt such a suprise that I didnt get thru to the next stage. Just as a side note, there was a guy at the first one that didnt particularly want the and therefore said nothing during the group thing, his parents told him to go.
Now the second one, same deal again, but I didnt really make it known that had flown with them before and had visited nor did I let it known, except in CV that I was CC already. Then in the group excercise, I didnt really say anything, but was taking an interest in what others were saying, and again, was speaking with another guy, who was currently flying also, and was talking alot in the group exercise and again wasnt really bothered if he got it or not due to personal reasons, found out today, that he actually got thru to final interview, but good on him, he was a nice guy!
anyways back to me. So I got the rejection note again at the first stage, even though I was different to last time, now the only reason I can think of is there is 'look' that Emirates uses and I didnt match that, you know, Im a bit bigger, I'm balding with very short hair and lets just say this other guy was your typical stunning German man. Am i right in thinking that looks play a big part in getting through the relevant stages in EK? I guess I am just used to being in the UK and companies not able to say no on the grounds of looks etc.
So I guess I am off to the gym for the next 6 months... but thats not going to make my hair grow back
Anyother advice for the next time?? other than the above....
Sorry guys for the long reply, but I am at a loss...
cheers!
