I am a male attending the screening in NYC on Nov 2nd. For all of you who have attended one, if you passed or not, how many men do they hire. Is it an even ratio? Also were there alot more women at the open recruitment than men. Can anyone help me out or give me your opinion? Thanks.
Queency - I didn't make it to the assessment day, so I'm afraid that I can't tell you first hand. Melbourne just has an open day (150 people), and I haven't yet heard from anyone who got through to the assessment day!
But from what I've read, the questions differ each time, and between cities. I guess they're not going to use the same questions every time so that people can't 'study' for them.
But they're looking for team work, how you present yourself, control of the English language, etc. I guess there is no "right" or "wrong" answer to the question, you just need to work well with the others on your table. If you have trouble coming up with your own idea, perhaps just say after someone else speaks "Yes, that's a good idea, I really like how you've though about _______". Just so that it seems like you're paying attention to what others are saying any things
But anyway, I've never been to an airline assessment, I've only just started applying to airlines, so I'm new to this too!
I know it is easily said, but please hang in there. Believe me, it isnt the end of the world and I believe you are just simply being postponed.
I am saying this only because I have been in your shoes. I didnt manage to go thru on my first attempt. In fact, that was actually the very first time that I ever failed. And now, reading your story, oh boy, it brought back the memory: God knows how devastated I was back then. I remember how I couldnt stop wondering and these mind-games of 'what ifs' and 'should/shouldnt' kept on circling in my head, every single day without a fail within the one year gap.
Dont give up. Try again next year, and lets see if the luck is on your side this time. I had to do it only two times, which I thought was hard enough. But I have a batch mate of mine who took her seven (!!!) Open Days to finally let her fly happily.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is I dunno what I'll do when it happens to me. I'm still waiting and being positive. You can try again next time and also you can apply to other airlines for the meantime.
Don't give up try and try until u get it. My friend said she knows other ppl who tried out 9 times. Just persevere and I'm sure your hard work will paid off in the end.
Hi Yuja 13, so you were in the final interview in TO. I was in the final interview in MTL last week, well I am waiting for the golden call too and I hope I make it! I can't stop visualizing myself working for Emirates in Dubai. It would be a dream come true. Since the first screening day, I daydream of this job everyday! So for the past month I have been thinking about this future career!
In Montreal, we were 34 left for the assesment day and they we were cut to 17 for the final interview. What about you in Toronto? The girls in Montreal were very nice and friendly I actually made friends with a bunch of them!
Aymee I am sorry to hear it did not work out, but don't give up. I will tell you what I will tell myself if it does not work out- something else great will happen to you instead, life is always full of surprises.
Hi CarineA. Nope I didn't take the assessment in Toronto. I'm in South Korea right now, I did get 2 invites to go for assessment in Toronto last Feb and May, but I couldn't go coz I was already here in Korea, so since I was leaving in a few months and there was a global assessment here in Korea my friend suggested why not try going to the assessment and I so I did and I'm glad I did I'm also excited so the wait is really nerve wracking, but I just think positive.
Over here there were 60 of us who went for the final interview a lot eh? I heard the agency got over 2k applications and so they had to do a preliminary screening. I'm really glad that I made it throught he final interview and really hoping I will get the golden call.
Good luck to us and to others who are also waiting for the call. Keep in touch and hope we see each other in Dubai. I also made a few friends from the assessment and 1 of them already got the golden call. We will get ours soon.
My final Int. was on Oct. 16 or 17 the recruiters were very nice, they made me feels very comfortable and were professional. what about you? when was your last interview? so your friend was hired? this is great. I wonder how many people make it, the percentage of the people from the one on one interview i mean. Its much worst than waiting for a phone call from a date!!!! haha
It would be such a lifetime adventure and opportunity to get this! I cross my fingers with the hope of a positive phone call!!!!
Hi guys, Im just wondering if EK still recruiting Male Crew especialy asian crew, im going to attend the open day in Singapore (or perhaps Malaysia) but on the website its says open day prelimenary stage will be conducted by sass atlantic. So, i checked the sass atlantic website and it come to my surprised that only female applicatns can go for the walk-in interview and male applicants only for CV submission only. Sass atlantic will then determine who should/shouldnt attend the assesment day later on. i dont think it's is fair becoz what i heard is hardly any male applicants made it to the assesment day. Does anyone have any idea about this? and why they have to use agent for recruitment?
I am attending Emirates open day this weekend. I already work for a US carrier but I am very excited about this potential opportunity. I know this has been discussed before but I have a tattoo on my foot. Obviously, I plan on keeping it covered at all times but do I even admit to having it or do I pretend like it is not even there?
I got my golden call, I got the job!!! this was the best phone call I ever got !!!! I am joining on January 2nd. Let me know about you! ANYONE JOINING THE 2ND (JANUARY)???
Dubai dreamer: I really dont think they mind a tatoo on your foot because you have to work with closed shoes all the time (they can't see your foot/toes...) so as long as the tatoo is not visible (like in your face, or hand, or arms, neck...) i am sure it does not matter.
I just tell everyone to be yourself at the interviews, and to smile and be positive. Look professional, don't speak to much or too little, and think positive. If anyone has questions about the interview process or advices it will be my pleasure to help you and answer your questions as it was so helpful to me when people helped me. just send me a message!
CarineA ps: good luck to everyone and wish you the best with your emirates interviews!!!!!
Congratulations CarineA
Im really happy for you and wish you all the best & a successful future with EK..
I had my final interview on Tuesday here in Australia.
Didn't expect to get as far as I did, I was quite surprised... Quite a surreal feeling..now its the waiting game for that "golden phonecall"
To everyone else who also got through to the end here in Sydney I wish you all the best of luck with your application, and hopefully (fingers crossed) a successful one..
Deon - Congratulations!! Hopefully your wait to hear doesn't drag on for too long!!
Was your open day the same as the one in Melbourne? 150 people, 1 minute handing in resumes etc? Assuming it was, how many people got through to assessment days? I didn't hear of anyone I met at the Melbourne one getting through, so am unsure about whether I should try again when they're back in Dec
Hey Ms Fly...
Thank you for your kind words will have to see how I go
It was exactly how you described it,
I would say about 160 or so people turned up for the Open Day..
Took a while to do the whole CV registration process, the video was really interesting as I have not seen that much on EK or Dubai. So i quite enjoyed it.. Afterwards some of the attendees asked some interesting questions
The two recruiters were easy to talk too, & both pleasant and very friendly...
I think there was 15 of us left in the end, not sure..
Definitely keep trying... Try and cut down your resume and remove unnecessary clutter. Focus on customer service focused roles you have had. Smile, look smart/professional and be confident.. Im sure you will be fine
My mate I went with is going again in December...
If I dont make it now i'll have to wait another year!!
I wondered if anyone can tell me....I have completed my application online and submitted it. Then I saw a global assessment day in Liverpool on the 11th November which i want to register for. So I click on register and it takes me to the log-in page to amend my application and i re-submit. I didnt get any page or email to say that I had sucessfully registered or they had received the details. Is this right because I dont know if I have registered or not anymore!!!
Any information would be great even about the open day if i am sucessful!!!
Could anyone write what is the basic salary in Emirates right now? Is it 3950 basic pay and 3200 during the training courses, what are the hourly pay and others things? thanks!!
As all of u on this discussion board, i'm also keen on joining Emirates and i want this soooo bad!!
Well let me explain..
One fine June evening, I happened to browse airline jobs on the internet and suddenly went onto the Ek careers online website and registered my cv online.. but then i noticed that there was an open day in rome ( i live in Rome) end of july..
So i thought i'd go for it just to try my luck..
And so Destiny and luck had it that i got through all the interviews and still..still not having completed my 21 years (which i will complete this december on the 15th and having confessed to the two sweet senior stewardesses who interviewed us), i managed to pass!
I was soooo happy i tried out and sooo fulfilled..after all there were many eligible candidates who were twice as pretty and thrice as taller than me!!
Anyways here i am still..waiting.. Ek informed me by mail that my file is being held on until i complete 21 years in dec as it is company policy to apply at 21.
I'm thinking if it is a postive answer..i kno it is! but i want this sooo badly and il get soo upset if i get rejected..
Many ppl who got thru the open day with me have already gone to dubai,undergone training and are gonna fly soon.. some got rejected.. i'm still in rome bcos of my age hmmm...
i'm soo anxious wat if they like forget me lol??
in the meantime im getting sick of my current job..and soo bored of it.. Ek will bring some light into my life so i want it soo badly!
