Hi Simone,

I don't think that Recruiters are going to ask you about BMI, it is not so important issue.I have attended two interviews and never heard someone asked for BMI. Don't worry, go and show your best.

When it's an open day, how many days will the recruitment process be in total? Two or three days? Is the panel interview usually the day after the open day?

not really, the point is that if you think your previous employer donīt like to make references for anyone or you worked just a few months for a company, donīt tell them, i mean, LIE! just give the telephone number, email, address, name of your former manager, and that is!!!!
i think they donīt call them.
regarding personality tests......... if they ask you: you get upset for silly things? answer: no!! things like that, donīt be naive like me!!

Hey Chanty, congtats on getting to the final interview. I had my final interview mid-august and got the call 16 days later that I had been accepted, but some of the people at my interview still haven't heard back.

So don't worry about them not calling you yet. Some of the recruitment team back in dubai are faster than others. Also, they don't have a certain number of people that they take from the final interview.... if someone is good enough they will take them.

I start on october 10th, only 2 weeks away! I wish you the best of luck and hope to see you in Dubai soon

Killian

When it comes to London assessment day, you don't need to bring a cv and photographs with you. Don't worry~ Good luck with your interview and please tell me about the interview after you finish them.

OD London

Yes, you have to bring your CV and photographs that is a must no matter if it's London or any other city, also no matter if you have applied online.

P.S Take a look at previous posts on this forum.

the email i got for Melbourne says to take a CV, but I was also getting confused about if I need pics, school certificates etc that I've read about!
I guess the majority of people there will be just taking their CV as that's all the email says

Thumbs up Thanks!

Im looking forward to your updated information.
I also hope to be the F.A. of Emirates if I am lucky.

What you said about clothes is the issue that confuses me a lot.
Coz the interview time in my country is in winter, i don't know what i really should wear.

Hope you can give me more advices.

Im very apprietiate about that.

Hi everyone

Hi All, this is my first post on the forum but i've been following it for a wee while now. Just wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me I applied online for Emirates 3 weeks ago, I know it can take ages to hear back from them if im lucky to get invited to assessment day so I was looking on their website and they've got 2 Open days in November in Glasgow & Galway, doesn't say venue details though. Im from Northern Ireland so it doesn't really bother me which day I try and go for. Question is, do you think I should hold off a bit longer in the hope that I get an invite from them for an Ass. day or should I go ahead and book flights etc for the open day in November? Its on 16th November Glasgow, does anyone know if they usually hold their day's near airports or in city centre's? If anyone can shed a bit of light on this id really appreciate it!! Thanks.

Queency - In the email invitation I got, they specify the dress code, and specifically say for women to wear a "knee lenght skirt/dress with skin coloured stockings".
That is for Melbourne, and it never gets too cold here, so it may differ there, but I'd be guessing that they'd still ask you to wear the same thing so that they can get an idea of what you'd look like in the uniform.

Vix - I got an invite to the assessment day a month before it was on, but from what I've read, many people just turn up & that isn't a problem (just make sure you take a CV and photo).
Where I live, the assessment day is in the CBD, but I think it differs a little bit city to city

31 y.o. and below arm reach limit. :(

I made a long post like a couple of weeks ago, but I have no idea why it was never posted. Don't think any of the content was inappropriate. Anyway, here I go again.

I'm 31 y.o., so am not exactly young. I know that Emirates has no age limite, which I think is really great (not just for me), but because it shows they're more concerned with professionalism.

One of my biggest concerns if the fact that I'm short. I think I'm only around 157cm. On the Emirates website, it says you have to have an arm reach of 212cm. On other websites, I've read you need to be over 157.5cm. I tried the arm reach and don't think I can make it. And I've read some occasions where a girl was dropped at the last interview when she couldn't reach the limit. So do you think there is no chance whatsoever if I can't reach the limit? I know it's for security reasons, but.. is there any possibility they might look at my other skills?

I'm Korean and I've heard that Koreans are like the third largest recruited group after UK and Australia nationals. One question is... there seems to be an agent called ANC in Korea that works with Emirates. Maybe it's because they hire so many Koreans, but ANC seems to be in charge of the preliminary assessment. Problem is it's also like an agency that offers 'how to be a flight attendant' course (like USD1500 for a 5-week course). Am totally not interested ('cuz I don't believe you should pay that much..). But do you think I would be at a disadvantage? Would they clearly choose one of their students if the stats are similar?

Lastly, I know that it says they require you to have a proportionate figure..(and I understand why). I am currently overweight and have to really work out.. how important do you think weight is in the screening process?

Found out there's an assessment day in Korea on Nov. 22. and am interested, but.. so much to do.
