Hi, you should wear business attire.

And, here, in Brazil, we had to bring:

English Resume

2 Passport size face photos – business attire and smiling (ladies must wear make-up and hair tied)

1 or 2 face/full body photos (casual – any type!)

Be yourself, and, Smile!

Hey everyone I just wanted to congratulate all of the new EK cabin crew! I just recieved my GC a few days ago and I am currently in the process of completing my medicals. (I hate needles) :sad: My DOJ is 29/1/2012 from JFK and my training starts the 8 FEB, anyone else starting then? Im almost finished with my medicals, I am just waiting for my results from the blood tests (HIV-VDRL HEPB HEMO). Soooo, We have to get a chest xray, up load it, and bring it with us to dubai? My doctor is wierd about giving me the orginial copy. I think i am just going to have the Doctor upload the xray on a CDformat. Is anyone else a little confused as to what we do?


We will be enjoying the Dubai sun sure enough :cool:

Hi guys! Can someone please send me medical form just to see what kind of tests I need to pass. You can send me as a private message. I would really appreciated it!! Thanks so much!

No medicals needed anymore! Only in Dubai

To the openday, here in portugal, they asked for your CV in english, 1passport size and 1full body photos. To dress...dress something formal, NOT short skirts like some people i saw :/ knee lenght skirt is the best; skin colour stockings; hair tied is better (so they can actually see your face); and use some make-up (not much).. and be sure your nails are ok. All of this if your a girl..of course...lol Good luck

Hey! I read your post about medicals. Im leaving in 10days and I
Got all my medicals approved already. Basically what you need to do is
To go to your doctors, get a copy of the vaccinations you have already,
And have one of the appendix signed by your doctor abour what youve taken
Already. You dont need to get all vaccinations done. You can do this in Dubai but you still need to upload the appendix.

You also need to be cleared with your dentist. You have to get
Everything done with your dentist. Let them read the standards then
Your dentist will know what dental work they still need to do. Also
Have the sheet filled out and upload on the portal.

Coordinators approve your medicals if you submit these things.
You dont need to get blood tests or any other tests done with your doctor.
You can though just to make sure you pass the medical examination
They are going to do with us once we get to Dubai.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for the infos about the medicals!:ok:

Alessi
Hi Alessi this is very strange i have never known them do the medicals over there but maybe they have changed the procedure from now on but hey i guess it will not cost you anything unless they charge you for them to do them i do not know i guess you will find out soon, atleast its a lot less for you to sort out before you go,your date of joining seems very soon too maybe they want you go out a lot quicker and thats why they will do your medicals over there and maybe alot of us have had problems getting reports and things i know i have

thanks very much Sr. Ek and Mara 123 :ok::ok::ok: I will smile thats not problem to me Im very happy girl heheh
Ill see how it will be...thanks :)))
and yes Im a girl :)

David

Ok David, you're in the group "waiting for the golden call" haha
where did you pass the FI?

Hello Zee Nova

At the Open Day, the recruiters said you have to mentionned your dual nationality only if you have a certificate or passport for each nationality

hi guys my DOJ 15/1/12 any one with the same date ? :rolleyes:

yes i do have 2 passports for my Dual Nationality: Egyptian-Tunisian but is it a good point or not ??

There is no good or bad points about nationality, there're not really care about it. It's just for paper forms. ;-)
So you can take one or both

all the vaccinations WILL be deducted from your salary and are not for free..sorry guys...dont know how much are the medicals but I do know if anything shows up you'll be packing and going home on your own expenses, because they can not hire you if you are not fit by the GCAA standards...so if not sure...do some medicals at home:=). There was one girl in my batch who was almost send home cause they found HEPB in her blood...but on wider spectrum she was clear so was ok...otherwise she would be going home, cause the goverment wont give you the residental visa...

see you all soon in Dubai! We are soooo enjoying it! SUN every day and really nice temperatures!!! But it is very stressful and exhausting! You'll be waking up at 5 a.m. every day!!!

for the tattoo (someone asked): for males can not be seen in regular t-shirt (the ones we get are elbow lenght sleeved, the uniform has only long sleeves), for females no tattoos on arm, becasue the blouse has kind of short sleeves!

ok, so I really have to wait... lol

When was urs? vanille

I know it's too early for us to worry about any phone calls but this situation is stressful.
I did sign up on Emirates website. I had an account before going to AD.
If successful I would go join them asap.
Good luck to you and to everyone who's waiting!

my Od was the 10th December and the FI the 11th

Vanille, my OD was december 10, and FI december 12. In bratislava. Did you have send any pending photos?

I had all the requested papers for my FI. But I didn't sign up on the Emirates website before the OD, so I won't have any way to see my progress.
Did you already heard something?

nope. Some people get to hear from them real fast while others wait 4 weeks fot the GC and then sometimes another 4 weeks for the DOJ. no idea what will happen with us.

Would like to hear from them this month.

I would like too :-)
Wish you luck

good luck to all of us :)

If I'm getting the GC I asked for the DOJ in the beginning of february. So just in case I would like to take my appointments for january. About dentals we need to wait few weeks in france to get an apointment.

Thanks in advance

I'm getting crazy here in Melbourne waiting for something to happen ! Yeah vanilla noisette I'm feeling ya , I have been checking my email and the emirates site at least every hour ! This waiting game is painful ...

I applied on line and didn't get an invitation . I had my FI on dec 11th in Melbourne (if anyone else was in my FI group pm me ) ... The thing is a few days later they undated my application to under review and invited me to attend an OD in January .... Could this be that I failed ? I'm unsure because after FI you need to wait 1 year .. Or is maybe just that they were a bit behind in updating my application and did that before they got my FI paper work ? The invitation mail came on tue 15th btw ...

Any insight - distraction to waiting much appreciated ! I'm wishing good things to us all xxx

the same goes here with me.. i did the online application after my FI .. the next day they sent me invitation for OD ... dont worry it has nothing to do with ur FI results .. just ignore this invitation ..my status is still "under review" ,,
btw i also had my FI dec 11th.. so we might be hearing from them at the same time .. keep in touch ;)

Thanks Karim ! Lets hope so ! I'l let you know if anything changes .....
Oh , I had already applied before the FI btw ... :s

Hey guys!

My status is now "AIP" :hmm: and I had FI on 11th dec.
What's next?

Good luck to you all!

Is it common that the make you write math/IQ/psychometric tests....???

:rolleyes:

Is there anyone who is under medical analysis because I have some doubts about this

It s the second day and I havnt got my Golden Call I am getting crasy some already got their calls :bored::eek: I feel miserable I still cannot log into my account and i still have the famous red sentence :( They forgot about me:ugh:

I am here I can help me if I can of course:O:)

Alessi

Thanks.
Does this mean that I didn't get rejected?
How long did it last for you until GC?

Good luck

how long i should wait to get my GC??? any one can help plz:ugh:

I wonder if any one can advise me, I have been offered a c.crew job with Emirates an they have emailed me a resignation letter to give to my company. When I gave my company this letter, they say that it is company policy not to fill in this form. Emirates have said they need this, or I cannot start work. Has anyone else had this problem.

Hey, calm down, your GC is coming soon...
And, it's really cool, that you already know the answer of your FI...
I still don't know... This is killing me!
Congratulations!

hey guys! i just received my visa and ticket today. i'm flying out dec 26th! =)

does anyone know when we are supposed to get the accommodation info?

Hey I'm a little confused about Academic certificates that we have to take to Dubai. Do they have to be in english? Because its written that it have to original, and my original certificates aren't in english...

Hey guys,

I am also joing Emirates, my DOJ is January 22nd. I just have a small question, its whether we have to do a gynecological test once arrived Dubai? And what if you refused to take this test because of your religion?

Alyssa

I think is mandatory to take the gynecological test in Dubai...
But, if you have any problem with that, because your religion, I think you should call and talk to your recruiter coordinator!

Third day with nothin no GC i still hav u will be contacted by your recruter :bored: Hey Guys Help wat shall I do????????? please:eek:

Calm down...
You should do nothing....
Should wait, they will contact you!
When did you had your FI???

my FI was in 24th november

Rima I would like to ask you how many days did it take for you status to change from AIP to YOU WILL BE CONTACTED? i have had AIP since 7/12 and still the same I had my FI on the 30/11...Thank you

Exactly I dont know it s started with under review then i havnt checked since a week anD I found it locked under u will be contacted last friday suddenly i dont know exactly when it changed But I havnt got any call and some guys got their calls already :'( may be am not successful:sad:

It is well know that when you are locked out your actually IN :D.. Just wait for it they might have a long list to call and your name is somewhere there. Now for you it is only a matter of time. If i were you i would start booking places for medicals and start with your essential documents to finish asap. Good LUCK :D

Hi there! Do you have any news?
I have the same status like yours (AIP) and I am wondering what does it means?
I had my FI on 11th.
I hope you'll get an answer soon. Please let us know!
Good luck!

Hi guys,
I just received the form " official image and uniform declaration form"
Do you think it's a good sign?

Hi guys!!
I did my OP in Antwerp on 4th Dec, FI on the 5th dec. I was talking with some people (not from my OP) that told me they received an email from EK asking them about tatoos.
In my interview they already asked us about them, and I said I dont have any.
My question is, should I be scared because I didnt get that email???
is that means Im out????:uhoh::confused::ugh:

thx in advanceee

VuelaVuela (http://www.pprune.org/members/377709-vuelavuela)
Hi i wouldnt worry i didnt get the form but i filled it in at the FI, and i still got through
Good luck
:ok::ok::ok:

Hey,

that's why! During the interview, the recruiter asked me if i have any tatoos, and I dont, so I said NO!
but I was talking with some guys, and they told me that even saying u dont have tatoos I should received that email, that i didnt get it!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused::eek::ugh:

Hope u are right....
I want that call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VuelaVuela (http://www.pprune.org/members/377709-vuelavuela)
i didnt get the email or the uniform declaration one and i still got through i wouldnt worry honestly how long ago was your FI?

my final interview was on the 5th december, in Antwerp, Belgium.
The recruiter asked me during the Open Day if I have any tatoos, and I said NO, and I saw her writing it in my file.
But as I talked with few people and all of them got the email, Im a bit stress+confussed+nervous++++++.... well i guess u can imagine...:bored:

I said that I don't have any tatoos during the FI, and I got the mail this morning.
My FI was the 11th, and 2 of my friends didn't get it.. so I've any ideas, if it's a miss understood between the recruiters and us.
Or it's just because thay are looking at your apllication, and it should be a good sign..

VuelaVuela (http://www.pprune.org/members/377709-vuelavuela)
yes i would take it as a good sign. no news is good news i would say
i waited 7 a half weeks for my GC to come it was so nerve wracking
Good luck
:ok::ok::ok:

thx topsmiles!!
ok, in that case I will continue burning candles and praying everyday...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

actually...do I have any other choise?? :SSSSSSSSSSSS

yesssss most definately pray i believe it does work i convinced myself also i was moving to Dubai so i actually started packing my cases well before i got my phonecall and i got the job so maybe it did no harm in trying and praying, but it is so nerve wracking i know exactly what you are going through,but keep positove too that you will receive the phonecall,, i imagined them also ringing me and seeing the number come up on my phone and them telling me i was successful i know it prob sounds crazy but hey it might of worked and kept me sane hahahaha

Hi guys,

I just had my final interview today, and so the wait begins!
I made it to the FI a year ago and received an unsuccessful email 5 weeks later. So plz hold thumbs for me this time!

Good luck to all :ok:

I had my FI December 11. This morning tried to log in on to my account and I couldnt. Suprosingly enough, I didnt get no you 'you will be contacted by..' in red, none of that. It is sort of as if the account never existed. I knew I had the password rite. And I keep gettin wrong username/password.

Tried the option 'forgotten password'. I got a new one, and with the new one I get 'internal error' when trying to access the page.

Anyone know what's the deal here?

Well guys my account is "under review" but in the other hand i didnt apply for the OD, i went there without invitation so i dont really know if i have to pay to much attetion to the status!!!

If anyone is from the 4th december OD in antwerp, belgium, let me know!!


Ps. Also if anyone else doesnt get the email for the tatoos and got the GC please let me know, like this i could breath a bit better!!:O

Thx thx thx

hello everybody???does anyone know what a medical waiver is???they sent me an e mail asking me to sign the medical waiver tha they will sent me.it's one day after i uploaded all my medicals.

Dear all who are already working with the Emirates,

I am so confused about the vaccinations. On the medical forms i have to complete and upload on the candidate portal there are 10 vaccinations: polio, diphteria, tetanus, hepatitis, yellow fever ecc. Do i have to take them all?

I contacted my doctor in Romania to ask her about my vaccination records from my childhood in case i had already done some of the vaccinations and she said she doesn't have the files and most likely nobody has them because they are from 20 years ago.

What do i do at this point? I would hate to lose my dream job because of some shots and beaurocracy.

So please help me, what's the right procedure with the vaccinations?

Thank you so much in advance and Merry Christmas!

MARIAFIREFLY (http://www.pprune.org/members/375898-mariafirefly)
Hello and thankyou Merry Christmas to you too

if your doctor cannot find your records as they could not find some of mine i just went ahead and got the ones they could not find in your case it may be all of them , i would get them done you dont want to find it may delay you starting if you dont get them done
Hope this helps

the recruiter told me to do as many vaccines as i can in my country and the rest of them in dubai at my own cost.i only had 2 and uploaded the form.the vaccines that we ve done more than 10 years ago should be done again.also my nurse told me that is dangerous to do all of them together at once.so i have to do 2 every 10 days.so by the time of the doj i will complete most of them,complete and sign the form and bring it to dubai.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

My colleague received the GC few days ago, and she asked me about the vaccines.
I told her to ask the recruiter coordinator about this.
She asked him, and told me that the vaccines you can do it in your country, or do it in Dubai, if you do it in Dubai, you will be charged of 20% of the value of the vaccines in your payment.
I can't tell you that I am 100% sure of this information, but, you could ask your recruiter coordinator again about it...
I hope I helped!

Hey guys,

I am looking for people who will fly to DXB on 12/02/12 just like me. I know it's still a long time till I actually go but I can't wait to get in touch to share excitement ! :)

To the successful - well done ! To the hopefull - good luck !

What's the latest about having a Chest X-RAY done before going to Dubai please?

Hello guys !

I would like to hear from someome who has been working, have worked or know about Emirates medical requirements for CABIN CREW;

I was thinking about apply to a job as Emirates Cabin crew, however I would like to inform that I have got a deviation of the nasal septum and for that reason from time to time I have got allergic rhinitis crises. We know what the job is and stay maybe 10 or 15 hours breathing air-conditioning is not a good deal for healthy reasons.

My direct question is: Do you know if this condition (deviation of the nasal septum) will not allow me to pass in the medical exams if I am successful in the whole interview process ???

I would like to say thanks for your time and wish a Merry Xmas to all of you !

Sandro

from what Im reading on the forums, especailly from the people who got their GCs around now, no chest x-ray needed. just dentals and jabs.

My satus just turn in "Approval in progress" ... keep your fingers and toes crossed. I hope to get a positive answer pretty soon :ugh:

MY FI was on 29Nov ....
until now my status ( under review ) and i got absolutely nothing :S . is that normal ? or i'm not successful or what ... i'm very stressed

there is no need to do the gyneco test. dont worry:)

Guys,

My status changed also for Approval in progress today.
Does anyone knows if there were cases when there was a rejection email after AIP? Or that's usually don't happen?

My new status is:

You will be contacted by your Recruitment coordinator at the earliest

Good luck everyone!

hi guys!
For u guys that ur status is changing... did u get that email about tatoos???

Im really nervous cause I didnt get any email... and i dont know if i have to start thinking about a really bad end or...:bored::bored:

My final interview was on 5th December, I would really appreciate if u can tell me something (possitve, if its possible, hehehehe)

VuelaVuela,

In my AD, we were given some forms to fill and also a tattoo form/declaration. After that, I guess no one got any tattoo email or anything else about the tattoos.

Didn't your recruiter gave you a paper to sign about the tattoos before? In any case, do you have any tattoo? If not, don't worry.

paganini85,

Hello, to be honest I fill up so many papers, and I dont really remember...
I remember that the recruiter asked me if i have tatoos or not, and I said NO, and she wrote it on my file.
But Im reading in other foros that people is getting this email, and me noooooo:{:{
I dont know if its good or bad or what!!!:ugh:

David111
Congratulations!! you will get your GC very soon probably in the next few days
:ok::ok::ok:

My status changed also for Approval in progress today.
Does anyone knows if there were cases when there was a rejection email after AIP? Or that's usually don't happen? (ctrl+c, ctrl+v paganini85's post)

I am starting to worry a bit. I already asked about it, but maybe some knows something here....
I had my FI December 11. This morning tried to log in on to my account and I couldnt. Suprosingly enough, I didnt get no you 'you will be contacted by..' in red, none of that. It is sort of as if the account never existed. I knew I had the password rite. And I keep gettin wrong username/password.

Tried the option 'forgotten password'. I got a new one, and with the new one I get 'internal error' when trying to access the page.

SO guys any of you dealt with this situation before?

This is really weird... I don't know what to tell you...
Wait a few more days, and if it keeps happening, send them a e-mail...

Hi Amhed....don't stress out ....i know of 2 other's who are still under review....do u know anyone else who status changed ??? then we have to start stressing

Anyone from Montreal Open Day get the Golden Call?


"Open Day"-- Nov16
"Final Interview"-- Nov17
"Tattoo Declaration Form Request (I & U Forms)" -- Dec4
"Language Declaration Form Request."-- Dec10
"You will be contacted by your Recruitment Coordinator at the Earliest" -- Dec21
Still waiting on the news...

Very excited!

I just wanted to ask you, how long does it take to approve the medicals? Cause it's been a week and my medical status is still in progress, and there is still the option to remove my files from the site,that means that they not even started looking at them ...

nope . all the guys i know still under review ....

ummmm , :} .. lets hope we all hear good news soon :ok:

is ur status still approval in progress or changed now ? coz i have the same status

Is it a problem if you have a bit of caries on a tooht in the back?

No, it's not ok!
You'll really need to go to the dentist!
I guess there's no company in the world that accepts caries.
Here, in Brazil, you wouldn't receive your licence if you have any caries.
Why? That's because you will be in a lot I really mean too much pain, if the Aircraft has a decompression...
So, take care of your teeth ASAP... =)

still under review.....most of the people and myself its still under review if your's changes please update us and will do the same.....

hi to everyone. I was wondering if u ever heard of anyone who failed to pass medicals. On medical declaration form I ve mentioned surgical operation which I had ages ago, which i did not know that would make such a big fuss!!! I provided them a report from my doctor, but still they did not approve my medicals. I am so regret that I mentioned this stupid operation which is easier than any plastic surgery!!!... Will be so devistated if I am rejected cos of this... If I never write it, they d never ever know about this. will they punish me for my honesty?

Anyone flying out of Newcastle-uk airport on 26th December?

I'm interested cuz i did some surgery too . ... please let me know

mya83, if its not a secret tell us what kind of surgery it was then everyone will know should tell them such things or not :)

:) it is not a secret, it was a lump removal surgery (lumpectomy).and this is a local anesthetics operation, and after the surgery u just walk out the hospital... i should tell u,do not mention any surgery as long as it is really important health issue :))) I regret so so much as I mentioned this... I am gonna loose the job for nothing...

Cabin crew as a group have shown over the years a higher tendency to cancers, especially breast cancer, so I would think it's not the having had surgery that's their concern, but the fact that since you have already had lumps (benign or not) that you may develop them again. It's all about medical insurance and risk.

Cancer treatments are very expensive for expats now, they are no longer free in the UAE except for nationals.

You did the right thing though, had you not mentioned it, then developed a problem nd it came out later that you didn't report it in the medicals, you would be dismissed without appeal.

Every woman over 30 have the risk for breast cancer and non-cancerous lumps are very comman among women. And it cannot be said that who had non-cancerous lumps before will have cancer in the future, also who did not have will never get cancer... Breast cancer is 90% genetical, people whose mother or aunt had breast cancer, they are in the most risk , so they should ask female candidates about this...Also, people who smoke are more tend to get cancer and heart diseases, then they should not hire people who smoke...

Hi everyone and merry Xmas in advance.
I aslo have a question about surgery.
When I was 18, I also did some surgery cosmetic to reduce my breast (boops) do you think this could be a problem?

thank you

I got my GC finally it was last tuesday but i had bad news that day one of my family members is sick and i have to take of for a period i cannot join the 21th january i need at least 4 to 6 months if not one year :( will they accept ? should I contact my recrutement coordinator?:sad:

It's been 4 weeks since my FI and I am itching to find out..
They said 4-6 weeks but it would be the most amazing Christmas present to find out now!
Anyone else had their FI in London & still waiting?

Hi Rimaa yes call them and let them know as soon as possible, i have a freind who at the interview he explained to them there and then he was still at university and he couldnt join until he was finished in march/april/may time and they said that was ok he then got his GC and he explained again that he couldnt join when they wanted him to so they told him he would need to have another interview nearer the time he can join again, so he will have to wait 6 mth,im not sure if it goes over 6 mth you may have to reapply or they may just ask you to go back for another interview
hope this helps,

Guys! I have one question for those who have already applied for the EK for the second time. I already applied for EK in August and I didn't go through the assessment day, actually they didn't accept my CV. I was thinking to re-apply again in February. As I remember recruiter told us that we need to wait 6 months after assessment day or 12 months after final interview if we want to re-apply.
Long story short my last OD was on August 27th but this time EK recruiter team will come to my city on 11th February(5.5 months). What do u think! Should I wait or should I go?

flyflytravel , 5 moths is more than enough ! This is the rule - OD (cv drop of but no call - 3months wait . , AD (called after cv drop off and made it to group interviews) - 6 months ) FI (Formal interview ) 1 year .

So if you went to the OD and they didtn't accept your cv then you can go !

Good luck !

hello guys

i'm here just to wish to all of you a happy new year and Merry Xmas guys.

and wish me luck for my OD on 27 of Dec..any advice would really help.

skype: dark_sky_dark_eye .... feel free to add me guys :)

My advice to you is to go through and search all the tips for OD and AD so that you are extra prepared . Also looking the part really helps - look on the Emirates sight at how the girls look and do your hair and make up just like that (presuming your a girl) If your a man make sure your suit is perfect , your clean shaven with neat hair .

I was a little surprised as I had my OD and AD in one day so I wasnt that prepared . I was there from 830 am - 730 pm ... Now I am just waiting and hoping .

Another thing I would suggest is getting there early and being in the first or 2nd row .... Having been to 2 OD / AD i saw that the majority of people chose were all in the front . Smile , pay attention and ask some smart questions so that they notice you in the growd and know your interested !

Good luck !

Whats the next stage in online application ? Under Review or AIP ?
Also someone that went to the same FI as me got a tattoo decleration and I got nothing , is this a bad sign for me :confused:

hahaha first of all i'm a dude (man) and thanks alot for your advise i do really appreciated alot..and its my second time applying for cabin crew i went to OD 1 of Dec and i was there very early and i was the first one who submitted his CV but i did't get a call back for the AD because i found out i didn't pay my bill so my mobile service wasn't working stupid me..and here i'm applying again on 27 of Dec..but what i want really to know is how to make them call me back..is there any trick i gotta do or say...i'm good looking guy extremely good (they call me tom cruise in my town lol) kidding of course but really i wish if they call me back i'm dying for this job i love it more than anything..i'm an IT guy by the way.. and i have been reading all the pages from 1 to 95....feel free to add my skype: dark_sky_dark_eye.

your support is highly appreciated and always expected.

hey guys...
3 days ago, i couldn't log into my account on emirates careers website and it says: You will be contacted by your recruitment coordinator at your earliest.
its already 3 days now, i don't know if i will get the call soon
im sick of waiting :ugh::ugh:
anyone in the same case??

Their close Fridays and Saturdays. So most probably tommorow you will ge the call. Congrats.

i read on previous posts that some people got their calls on saturdays or even got status change on saturdays
anyway hope ur right and will get it tomorrow :)

Hi there, first time poster wanting really bad to become Emirates cabin crew. I know its tough to get (almost like winning the lottery) Does anyone know if i have to wear a business suit to the Vancouver OD coming up in January 2012. Im a male by the way. Also, the passport size photos you have to include with the resume are they full body or just from the neck up photos? Thank you to whoever replies.

Seems by reading here they reject you automatically if you have visible scars which is ridicoulus and discriminatory. I have one on my hand. Anyone know how to get rid of one? Collagen injections?

Hello there! I'm going soon to an OD and I have a question!
I have a beard (a really simple one and totally groomed)... Do EK has a problem with that or I just have to shave it before going there?!! I have to add that I look better with the beard..

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance ;)

they reject you automatically if you have visible scars

Total rubbish. Lots of crew have visible scars, including me. The tattoo form is for identification & medical purposes. Yes tattoos can be a way of wedding people out but there are plenty of jobs which ban visible tattoos. If it's not huge and i na discreet place you shouldn't have an issue. Plenty of info about tattoos in this and past threads. I'd suggest you go read it instead of jumping to conclusions.

I hope you're a boy.

Either way I think its better if you shave.

Hello,

I am attending the OD in Melbourne the 7 of Jan in the email i got says to bring an updated CV with a photograph, Passport size photograph? I read in other post people needed to bring full size and passport size one. If anyone can help would be appreciate it.
Thanks.

Heloo guys,

I would like to know some stuff about Ek.. why they ask you upon filing the online application if u were interviewed by the Ek group before and when? and so they check refernces... also, what is the situation for someone worked at flight operations for only two months and would like to apply for Ek? should i hide it especially that the airline i was working at was a low carrier one and doesn't fly on the same plan rates emirates flying with but i have a flying license and i am afraid they will find out afterwards,?

Please advise as soon as possible...

absolutely u have to shave ur beard before attending any interview with Emirates (or other airlines). They are not looking for handsome guys, but for a nice personality with a groomed appearance.
They don't care if we look better with berad, it's totally not acceptable to attend the OD or AD with a beard on ur face :D u have to impress them, they wanna see how u will look like in uniform. If u get the job, u will have to shave before every flight.

I wear glasses with dioptry of -0,75 and 0,00. Is that a problem?

I dnt think tht they can figure out u did an operation or not and even about cancers pple can be diagnosed it s not their fault it s God s will I think if a candidate has had a breast cancer and she is ok now she can still apply but has also to hide this truth the cure will show no sign of it am I true?:hmm:

Thanks a lot for the information!

One more question is, regarding the business attire is it ok to wear a dark gray suit ? I heared that usually it should be navy blue or black....I'm a bit confused!:confused:

Vanille-Noissette Hi everyone and merry Xmas in advance.
I aslo have a question about surgery.
When I was 18, I also did some surgery cosmetic to reduce my breast (boops) do you think this could be a problem?

thank you
I don't think there is a problem at all with breast reduction, but don't mention it unless they specifically ask for surgeries.
My question now is, what about breast enhancement with implants? Are they a problem?
(I wouldn't think so as they are so common nowadays)

gnusi I wear glasses with dioptry of -0,75 and 0,00. Is that a problem?
You can't wear glasses, but you can wear soft contact lenses. Later on when working for EK you can get a doctor's letter saying that you can't do contacts anymore and they may let you wear glasses... That's what I read here.

CBEG Yes, you can wear a dark gray suit!

Yes,def. they can not figure out unless u say, as long as it is not kind of operation that your organ was removed :)) I have mentioned mine cos it was such an easy job,just 30 mins then go back home.Even some doctors dont consider it as a surgical operation.but i regret now, cause they ve taken it too serious:)) I am not a cancer, I have never been cancer and hope i will never (god knows, no guarentee), but they ve given me the fear of cancer!!! So what i suggest, do not mention anything more than they need, unnecessery details make too much unnecessery headache. maybe they will hire somenone who already had cancer cure and did not mention it, me I ve never had cancer but as i mentioned benign lump left from ages ago, will not get hired. so dont be too honest as long as important health issue :))):=

Thanks a lot for the information!

One more question is, regarding the business attire is it ok to wear a dark gray suit ? I heared that usually it should be navy blue or black....I'm a bit confused!http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/confused.gif
OD, as long as u re smart and look proffesional, it will be ok. for the next day group int., u will be required to wear black bussiness attire. it was how it went for mine...

its the 4th day after the red message on EK website: "u will be contacted... at the earliest". It doesn't seem to be at the earliest.
I can't sleep properly everyday i wake up in the early morning thinking that i missed the call or simply dreaming of getting the call!!
I heard it usually takes 2 days after the account being locked with the red text :ugh:
plz somebody put my mind at ease!!

Thanks guys.
I wanted to know because we've to notify this on the medical forms and I talk about this with the recruiters. (when we talk about scars) they asked me a lot about that, cuz one of both wanted to do the same. So they maybe remember this or write it somewhere.
The best idea would be to dont speak about it, because no one can see it.
But it's too late now. and i don't want thm to tell me i'm a lier because i didn't write it on the forms is the recruiters notified this on their paper ..
Do you understand what I mean? what could you suggest me?

Y es even pple who has had cured from cancer can join a cabin crew position i hav a friend who had bone cancer last year and she used to work in dubai for a company she came back got cured and now she started a cabin crew position with qatar airways but she has never told them about his sickness and none figured it out Just dnt be too honest even a plastic surgery can lead you to lose the job:sad:

really? how a plastic surgery can make us lose the job??
im planning to do a plastic surgery for my nose next month lol
i will not tell them right?

HEY EVERYONE,
just got my red message today!!

"you will be contacted..."

I have no words to describe how excited I am.

Today I went to EK website, and they locked my account and there is this famous red message:
"You will be contacted by your Recruitment coordinator at the earliest"

I'm so happy right now!

surgery
really? how a plastic surgery can make us lose the job??
im planning to do a plastic surgery for my nose next month lol
i will not tell them right?

flyhi29, if it is a boob job, they might consider that cos of the pressure, it might explode ??:O Can not think any othe reason ??

GUYS!!!!!

My status just turned on "
You will be contacted by your Recruitment coordinator at the earliest" which means I'll get the Golden Call (a friend send me the medical forms) and on this one they say "ANY surgical operations including cosmetic procedures"
I talk about it during the Interview.. SO WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO????

I'm so excited and anxious about this part..
Thanks a lot!!!!!

:ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:

Sr.EK, Vanille-Noisette, paganini85

Congratulations !!!:D
I hope you get the call soon.

Tks a lot, dude!!!

Read ym post again. I did not say it will lose you the job- I said it can be a concern due to medical insurance coverage,.

Do what you want, tell, don't tell... but if you don't disclose something and you get ill (related or unrelated) later on, and they find you did not give a full history, the insurer is within full rights to cancel/void any medical insurance and you could be liable for any costs.

Sure it can be a pain to provide extra details but in most cases these details are so that EK can provide a waiver for that specific condition as it is pre-existing but cover you for everything else.

Clear now??

Like I said, it's your choice but lying/omitting information is never a good look.

That girl at QR for sure would get fired if they ever found out she lied about having had cancer. It's not really fair to expect the company to cover treatment for something she had before she joined and did not disclose. Different story if she gets sick AFTER joining.

As for comments like "getting cancer is god's will"- please, refrain from such insensitive statements.

As I did (just talking about my own personal experience, don't wan't to generalise). The day before I went to my OD: got myself an appropriate haircut. Make sure you're shaved too.

The OD itself I went in (black suit + brown belt + black shoes). Make sure you have a VERY GOOD looking close up picture in business attire:):):): with nice (white teeth), smile, shaved!

I also put a full length photo (business attire) included with my resume. One more tip: try to profile yourself as being different without being dominant or act like a 'boss'. Be laid back, don't stress out in other words, be yourself: be social! Not too much not too many. It was my first job interview in my life and I succeeded so... . Good luck!

Anyone with DOJ on 22nd January 2012?

Oh yes one more question. I did all my medical tests and put them online. I got an email 6 Dec that their recruitment officers were investigating it. Medically I'm fully fit though, so normally this won't be a problem.

But now I'm waiting to proceed to step 2 in the application process. Is this normal there are only 30 days left in joining... :rolleyes: and I'm waiting 20 days now (re: 6 Dec.)

Thanks in advance

Hey guys,
I know a lot of people there got the Final Interview, I have an important question :
Do they always ask you about scars ? I mean, a scar is really a matter for them ? I have a big one in the arm, I am worried...
Do I have to think about plastic surgery ?

hi guys, somebody knows what they are going to ask during AD??

Someone is attacking me here about the post I just suggested a solution even for medicals m not criricizing any way

It's been 5 weeks tomorrow since my FI in London...

Is anyone else in the UK waiting anxiously for good news?!

5 weeks jeeezz.. THere's people that got their GCs after 10-14 days.
Anyway I myself have been waiting for 2 weeks now.
I know where your coming from.. Good luck to you! To all of us

Can anyyone tell me what kind of clothes should a guy wear to the open day? Does it have to be a suit? At the AD day, if i get invited after the open day, should it be a black suit or can it be any colour?

Hi

I am new here and thanks for all the information regarding open days, AD and FI thats given by here everyone. I will be going to an OD in Germany in February 2012. HAs someone been to an OD recently and can someone tell me what are the group discussion topics being discussed at the OD/AD right now?
Thanks XOXO

the topics seem to be the same in all the countries, and u don't have to worry about the answer because there is no right or wrong answers; for example, they don't care if u give the amount of money for homeless kids or for the red cross. You have to worry about how to share ur opinion with others without interrupting them and the way u express urself.
In the first group discussion, u will have to introduce the person on ur right hand side, and the recruiters will ask u to ask that person questions like: what is the thing he didn't mention in his cv, what was his biggest achievement, the most embarassing moment, where he would like to travel, if he had the opportunity to be invisible what would he do... Here they want to see how you cooperate with a colleague, do u easily get along with them. When its ur turn to speak, stand up with a big smile, look at your colleagues and say; my colleague's name is xxx, he comes from... and then u answer what they told u. Be confident here and relaxed and smile and look at ur friends not the recruiters until they say thank u, u look at them and u smile.
Then they will give u a topic to discuss as a GROUP!! answers doesn't really matter. You should work as a team, u should all give ur opinion, listen to others even if u don't agree, just listen and approve.
when u finish, they will randomly choose 3-4 of you to tell them what is ur decision regarding the topic.
Example of topics: you have a certain amount of money, to which organization would u give, or are u with banning smoking in public or against it, what are the things to improve about tourism in ur country ... etc...

The 2nd group discussion u will have another topic to discuss which is more difficult and u will be less in the group.
Topics can be: ur going to the moon, list 5 main things to take with you, ur on a flight and u had an emergency landing on water, what equipment from the aircraft to take with u, the business class is over booked and u had to downgrade 5 persons, they give u a list of 10 people, who to downgrade to economy, 3 persons that influenced the 21st century...

don't forget to smile all the time, and be friendly and polite, thank the recruiters at all times after they discuss anything with u...
hope this helps!!

flipper316, however there is not an obligation to wear a suit on OD, I d recommend u to wear a suit :)) The first impact is very important, and if u are in a suit, u will look professional and give them the impression that you are serious about this job. Some people come to the OD, as if they just pop in to say hello :))

Hello DollyK
what does ur status say.....its 4 weeks for me too.....fingers crossed

what was your status for those 7 weeks ?? did any one else get they approval in progress before you did.....trying to calm my nerves

Hi Everyone,

I had my medicals approved yesterday and advised to resign from bmi.


Is anyone else flying out from the UK or any other country with DOJ 5th FEB??

I'm flying from London Heathrow.


Happy New Year Everyone, 2012 is going to be a good one!

Hi guys, I am crossing my fingers for all of you who are going to an OD/AD or waiting for the golden call! Although I remember how I anxious and curious I have been a bit over a year ago before I joined (believe me I know how you feel), I am a bit surprised about all the questions here! A) they seem to get repeated every week! Guys, show initiative and read back in the thread, believe me, this thread will answer every question ten times, so there's no need to ask a 11th time, right? Initiative is also a skill you will need to show if you work as a cabin crew! B) why are you asking questions which are already answered by emirates? E.g. What to wear for open days or what kind of picture to bring? If you would read through their e-mails or advertisements you would know the answer (if they ask for a passport size picture, how can you ask if it needs to be a full body picture or only a portrait? Or if they mention to wear business attire, then how can you ask what to wear???). This is the reason why most of the people who made it into EK are not coming to this forum again, they are tired of answering those questions. So those people being absent here leads to answers from people who don't know it from their own experience->assumptions->confusion. Read carefully, that's all you need! How will you be able to pass the tests in training if you don't listen/read? C) why do you panic if something in your application process is different from other peoples application process? They are recruiting worldwide, thousands of people everyday are screened, so the laws and rules for an application process differ and vary in each country and between recruiters/recruitment agencies! If you follow what they tell you, you will be fine. Don't doubt about it!!! And last but not least, please remember how badly you wanted the job when you are working online for a while. I bet 75% of you will winge and complain about the company and will be lazy on board. I am very demotivated at the moment just because of the attitude of many of my fellow colleagues! So, if you need to know ANYTHING about living in Dubai or working for Emirates I will be more than happy to answer your questions. Don't take my post as an offense, I just wanted to point out a few things!:)

You are so so right, I used to be a frequent visitor here but since I nolonger see anything new here, guys repeating themselves like I can't tell how..some even asking if the red alert ' YOU WILL BE CONTACTED.........'is a positive sign..I surely hate that question. It's been asked n answered here a million times. The site/forum is loosing it's meaning/boring with repetitions...instead of focusing on the changes like the medicals...?!Yes I know of some crew here who helped alot but they got so disguised with the kind of queries posted here.....!!!

Anyone going to the january 14 Vancouver OD?

Rimaa, if you think that someone giving constructive advice is "attacking" you, then you are seriously going to have problems in this job.

I was merely pointing out that *IF* someone decides to be dishonest, then they should be fully prepared for the consequences if found out. In English, 'you' is often used in the plural sense, meaning, people who are reading this. Not 'you' as in 'you=Rimaa'

You guys can do what you want, as someone already gone through the process was just trying to help. But as has been pointed out, many crew give up because honestly it's like banging your head on a brick wall trying to get through to people sometimes.

Hello guys!

I've uploaded my pre-employment medicals on 16/12 and I've been waiting for the final approval ever since. Can anyone shed some light on what are they approving?? I've 26 days left on my portal and I'm seriously panicking because I don't know if I should pack or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated! xx

I pretty much agree with what Seja said but I do have have a question with point C .

C) why do you panic if something in your application process is different from other peoples application process? They are recruiting worldwide, thousands of people everyday are screened, so the laws and rules for an application process differ and vary in each country and between recruiters/recruitment agencies!

What about the its different from someone that made it to the F1 in the same day and city as you ?
For example - I have been waiting 3 weeks and heard nothing , but another guy in my groups status changed to AIP and he got the tattoo dec also after a week or so from our FI
Since I have heard nothing and my status is still Under Review , is this for me a bad sign ?....

Good luck to everyone about to go to an OD and congratulations to all who got the GC xx

Fafi maybe the other guy, whose status changed so quick, had something they desperately look for (german speaker, fist aid course...) thats why they picked him out so fast. Its just my theory.
Or maybe the files get mixed up once they arrive in Dubai. Hard to tell.

I so hope you right asafa ......because only 2 boys from our FI have approval in progress and others still under review....Good luck to us...hope our status changes soon and we receive the golden call.....May the heaven's shower blessings on us

Hey Fafi, it's hard to tell! All I know for sure is: they WILL get back to you, either with the GC or with the rejection e-mail. I contacted them many times by mail when I wasn't sure what was going on. Try your luck!

Hello,

I read Seja's post and I agreed. we all ask the same questions. That's why now I am writing you, because I would like to ask you about what happens after. I mean how is to work for them? how is Dubai? is it a nice place to live? how is the job? extremely long hours? roster's ? maybe you can tell us about your experience and what things we need to consider. Like every other job must have its cons. so personally I would like to hear about your experience, so we can be more prepare and know what to expect.
I would appreciate it if you can tell us more about it.
Thank you.
George.

Well I am working there for a bit over a year now. People either love or hate the job I guess. The turnover rate is massive, means a lot of people don't stay here for a long time (for many reasons: for some it is just kind of a time out year, some are homesick, some don't like the job, some don't like Dubai). For me, I love to live in Dubai. There are plenty of beautiful beaches for swimming, sunbaking, surfing etc. There is plenty to do, heaps of group activities (boot camp for fitness, running groups, Hiking or camping in Oman, arabic courses, cooking classes, gyms). There are nice malls for shopping, cinemas, tons of restaurants and bars for socializing and the nightlife is great to say the least. It can get a bit lonely sometimes because friends might be working when you have days off and the other way round so don't be afraid to do stuff by yourselves! The job is amazing, you are basically paid to travel the world and stay in 5 star hotels all the times :) I always say: the layovers are amazing it is just hard work to get there haha.. Customers are very demanding :ugh: because they expect a lot from Emirates, it can be challenging to work through the night (your body wants to sleep but you have to stay awake and alert), sometimes you get annoyed by fellow colleagues or seniors etc... But if you are good at "shutting down" right after work and forget the unpleasant things the moment you disembark the plane, then the positive things overweigh the negative by far and you will have a good time! Rostering... You will have amazing rosters with nice destinations and you will have horrible turnarounds which seem to be neverending. All a big lottery, every month again and again hehe.. Personnally, I am very,very homesick at the moment (never thought I'd ever be homesick :\ but it happens to the best lol). What else... You have a good life with loads of benefits but they certainly make you working freakin hard for that haha... Did I forget anything? Ah.. In summer it is too hot to spend your spare time anywhere else than IN the pool or INside ;)

Just got the Golden Call and im going to embrace every moment , Im 29 and ready for a new adventure , good luck to everyone ,,, its going to be tough but very rewarding. When Im old and grey I will be able to smile and look back at my amazing years with Emirates and the Red Hat xx:Oxx

Thanks for the insight seja. I would love to be in your position but it tough to get. Especially one like me whos never been a flight attendant before.

Thank you Seja, it is good to know that not everything its perfect there. I think people feel very lonely and some probably dont like Dubai. Thanks for the info tho. will let you know if i get trough or not.
thank you.

I myself I am not yet emirates cabin crew, but my sister has been for almost 2 years now. And as far as turnover rate, then it is all true. Lots of people give up after 1-1,5 year.
The thing is also that depending on someone's origen, the reasons for joining may differ. There is lots of cabin crew coming from poor countries, which often times use the money to support their large famililes and on the other end you have people from rich nations that get this job mainly to travel around and party - often blowing all salary on fancy parties and then using parents/home credit cards to maintain themselves. People who have been there will definately know what I mean.

:ugh:Arggggggggg my status stills on "you'll be contacted by your...." since few days now... I'm patient... but right now... I can't waiiiiiiiit!!! lol
i'm becoming crazy. Lol and to de-stress i've to do shopping and shopping and shopping... Do you have another solution? lol

:)by the way i've a question, i've read that some of you got a message after the GC telling you that you will be on the A380. Do we have to do something special for that? Already work as a cabin crew or everybody has a chance?

:ok:and thanks seja for sharing your experience, it's a lot appreciated

Absolutely right asafa, many people from poor countries are here for the money to support their families and the ones frim rich countries get drunk and party, couldn't have saud it better! Flipper, you don't need previous experience as a cabin crew, they need people, so they will keep recruiting! Vanille-Noisette, it is by chance whether you are main fleet or A380, but you can always write an e-mail to your coordinator to ask to put you on A380 once you got the GC (I myself have just today finished my conversion training to A380!

Hello guys! I'm new here! This is my first post :) I participated to the AD held in Catania (sicily) on november 25th and did my final interview on the following day! I just checked my status on the EK website and couldn't log in. The same red message that some of you had appeared to me as well "You will be contacted by your Recruitment coordinator at the earliest". I honestly don't know since how long there's that message.. Anyway, after reading most of the posts that say good news about that message, I want to be a bit more trustful about the GC. All of us let's cross our fingers! ;)

Thanks Seja, i'm guna do this :-) When I'll get this call, cuz waiting is killing me. lol
I'm never nervous or srtessed but because i really wan this job.. i'm in stress.
lol always checking my cellphone.
To don't miss the call:
I eat with my phone,
I sleep with my phone,
I go to the toilet with my phone
and even if i could have a shower with my phone, i would probably do it too. lol

Ahahah! I absolutely agree with you Vanille Noisette! When did you do your final interview?

My Fi was the 11th December, and my status is on "you will be contacted by your recruitment cordinator at the earliest... " since the 21st... is that earliest? lol

What about you Touroperator?

Well.. I think we better take it easy cos the wait could last a bit more.. no panic! I was told about the 6 weeks period! Both recruiters were very kind with me.. C'mon, we'll both get this job if we really want it! We might meet in Dubai and attend the same training course! :) Maybe I was too optimist this time! :)

If this staus means that we'll get the golden call. It means that we'll definitely go to Dubai :-) Stay optimistic :-)
When would you like to joind the trainning?
I asked for ferbruary but it will be asier the end of february ot the first week of march for myself

My final interview was on november 26th. I said that january would have been fine for me even though one of them asked me if I was able to join immediately, even before christmas.. She said: be honest, would you mind if we make you leave for christmas or new year's eve? I just said "well.. I don't know.. bla bla", then she said ok, I'll write january. That's it!

Well if your DOD is suppose to be in January, you should get the call pretty soon :-)

I hope so ;)

Don't stress out guys. Tomorrow starts the weekend in Dubai, then there is the 1st of January Sunday which is another holiday. So before January 2, no GCs. I supppose.
And their working hours are from 9-3.30 , with the time difference they close more or less at 12. I guess, there is no possibility to get a call afternoon/evening.
Most probably early in the a.m, when your asleep.

Hello, I have a little problem concerning my medicals, I've sent them 2 weeks ago, but they still don't approve them. The problem is that I had an eye surgery when I was 2 years old, and they asked me the reason of this surgery. I didn't wanted to lie them so that's the reason I didn't hide it.When I was a child I wore glasses and I had hyperopia, but thanks to this surgery I don't wear glasses anymore, I don't even have a scar or other problems, but still I'm worried if they will approve this...So any guesses?

I would give them a call. Somebody else had a similar problem, she gave them a call and got approved the next day. It might not be because of that operation. ;)

The call for the FI in Croatia Rijeka has arrived today in an email. If anyone else is going there send me a message :)

Hi seja, do you know what the policy is regarding cosmetic surgeries? There has been a few posts here but still seems little unclear. I have had rhinoplasty and liposuction and am wondering whether this will impact me with my meds? Thanks for help :-)

Hey there, to be honest I don't know! It usually is no problem, I know many girls with breast implants, nosejobs etc in the company. I am sure the lipo-thingy is no problem but I don't know what the other one you've mentionned is? They usually want to know everything about your medical background to cover you for all possible scenarios, and also some things might be a problem of you are flying often (for instance, why they want your teeth x-ray: bad quality tooth surgery for instance may cause a barotrauma in your tooth, which is extremely painful and in extreme cases may make your tooth burst in your mouth-that is a very bad example and happens in one of one billion cases but it still may happen). Hope I didn't confuse you!

Agree with Seja, the main pros would be:

1. Great chance to travel & see new things
2. Nice aircraft, lots of facilities, good resources for the customers
3. Almost everything provided- house, transport, uniform, cleaning, doctor, so no real worries for bills


Main cons:

1. Schedules can be draining on the body/soul- be sure to take 'time out' when you can
2. Inconsistency between seniors/sometimes managers- what one says do, another says don't. Can be frustrating but I notice this seems to be getting better. Just a hazard of so many cultures working together I guess.
3. And the worst- customers. They can be VERY demanding. Yes they expect a lot as Emirates have a good reputation- butt here are a minority of them that you just CANNOT please. They think they should get First Class service even when they have not paid for it. They will shout at you, they will call you stupid, they will ask for 'complaint form', they sometimes make you go to the lavtory and cry so no one sees you- BUT-

THE NICE ONES WILL MAKE UP FOR THIS!!! In most cases those eman ones would not be pleased with anything you do, so save your energies and worries for the rest, and don't let the mean ones ruin you for the other passengers. They can't help it if the other one is rude to you. So, be nice to them.

You can go home and rage at the mirror all you want after the flight ;)

You will have bad days, but there are plenty more good ones. Just please pelase take advice from the crew who are already there, even if you don't agree with it don't be diffiuclt. Remember that you wanted this job. I have flown with far too many altely with bad bad attitudes, in only their first or second month. I don't want to be around them and I'm sure the passengers don't either. If you are going to be one of these people, don't come. Let someone who wants to be there take your place.

If you are happy to come do the job, then great. Welcome. If you hate it, I'm not saying this in a eman way but after 6 months if it's not for you, then go. Nothing worse than miserable crew. They just make everyone else the same.

Thanks for the great advice guys. Just wanted to say that in January I was unsuccessful after making it to the FI, and had to wait 5 weeks for the rejection email. Was devastating. Anyway, I tried again on the 19 Dec. I made it to the FI again which was on the 20 Dec. On the 27th Dec my status changed to approval in progress, on the 28th Dec it locked me out and said in red you will be contacted by ......... :) I just wanted to tell those who are unsuccessful not to give up hope. Keep at it, if its your dream!!

Good luck to all waiting for the beloved golden call, I'm hoping they phone us all this year :ok:

Have you tried to leave a message to your coordinator on his voice mail???

Guys, I am 100% sure that things will start movin really fast right after the new year's. If they do not call you guys the first week of 2012 then I would start to worry, but for now it is all good.

Remember that some of the people working at HR, are on leave, some of them went back home to celebrate Xmas and all that, even though there is no official christmas days in Dubai whatsoever.

In the 6 weeks did you get the tattoo form and see your status change ? Or did they just call out of the blue after 6 weeks ?

I think maybe the reason that you are having trouble is that you haven't uploaded the resignation document , I think I saw some similar situation on this or another forum earlier .

Leave them a voice mail and an email . Try to relax for the next few days anyways .

Good luck xx
