CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im so happy for you- its such a great feeling!!
well meedo and i are flying out of melb 29/8 so maybe we will all be on training together?? where are you flying out of?
make sure you book a double appointment at doctor and dentist in advance because you might have to wait to get in. the docs and contract can take 3-5 days to be sent via email so its beetter to be extra prepared so your start date doesn't get pushed back.
well done again!!!

hi meedo! your like my new best friend now- you kept me entertained at work!!
i hope you me and bhill get me go on training together! i'm sure we will if we fly into dubai at the same time.
maybe we could all go down the water slide together hahahahahah!!
im going awesome thank you- how are you? when are sultan and laura flying out again? was it 5/9?? i forgot--
work is the same- how about you?
my baggage preparations are going well, i'm going to weigh all my shoes today and buy a small carry on bag with wheels to wheel them all through security hahaha- if anyone stops me i will smile and dazzle them!!hahaha
really ipod security? now thats just ridiculous- when i flew out into thailand they tried to search me for bombs but i didn't feel well and said oh do i have to??? they said oh dont worry about it then-????? how bad security is that?, so if you dont want to be searched you can just say you'd rather not be?? surely its not a choice-
i hope they tighten up security when we are flying--
also p.s poor lauren isn't sure she can pass meds for emirates- im meeting her today with all the docs and hopefully we can sneak something past them- fingers crossed on that one.
tell me the news--
p.s those blogs were awesome that you put up-- i loved the male flight attendent point of view- very funny.
i emailed her (lauren) the check list and the doc for meds to get her ready early if you can help her book the stuff that would be great. i told her were teammates now and its important to help out the rest of the crew . im stuck here taking exculations at telstra boring and annoying, but can handle it. see what happens when youre in a call centre.lol. the only thing making me sane is sppeaking with you and looking forward to dubai
ahh that must be what freaked lauren out- the check list, i was wondering why she all of the sudden panicked!! it looks pretty intense. i'm just going to have coffee with her now, so i'll take my checklist and go through it with her, hopefully we can get a few things by the emirates fine tooth comb!!
yes your right we must all help each other- there seems to be a fair few ppl from our assessment day getting in now!! thats awesome. you didn't say when sultan and laura are flying out? any others we know of got in? thats you me, sultan, laura, sophie, lauren??
im stuck here trying to organise applicants for jobs and listening to everyones excuses about why they cant turn up for work.....
go the forum-- i'll let you know how i go with lauren
ek girl.
hey jane, sorry for the late reply just had an exculation so couldnt answer you straight away. fisrtly enjoy youre coffe with lauren and send my regards. secondly keep me up do date with youre app. you have two days remaining. one day.................. there leaving on the 5th of sep thats a week after us.
Hey guys, I had my final interview on 21 July. I think it went quite well. They said we should get feedback within 2 weeks. So almost there... the waiting is hectic huh?! I'm sooo excited, yet a little nervous!
This is going to hurt, but please give it to me straight
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...

Hello!
I went 2 the open day in Rome and got trough till the final interview..I've got no clue of how it went, just hope well!
Does anyone know about somebody who got till the final interview and then didn't get called?I'm so worried!
However,thank you everybody for all the good advise that u have given me, probably without u I wouldn't have got till the end!THANK U!!!!!!!!!
I've just got 2 wait now & keep my fingers crossed!
If someone that was there in Rome with me has some news,pls, let me know!
hey
Hi i went to 4 interview before i finally joined emirates...and i passed with the advice as given below.
ok, when you have your next interview again, always make sure you dress in black....if you a boy....NEVER TAKE OFF YOUR JACKET TRU OUT THE INTERVIEW! LOOK smart, and check your shoes!!!dont use too much jel or wax...they prefer the natural ones! short hair and decent cut! girls they like to have hair tide to the back with a little knot!
upon arrival make sure you try to communicate with most and smile allot!
ok when the interview starts you will go into groupdiscussions first! where they put you in small little groups and they give u topic!
now....what you do is....., while group discussing, DONT EVER EVER SPEAK OUT AND BE CENTRE OF ATTENTION! for some reason emirates love the quite ones!! ok.....when you speak, make sure you speak only when you have to! BUT THEN AGAIN DONT KEEP QUITE ALL THE TIME! SPEAK OUT BUT NOT TO MUCH! and dont interap the group! ok.....,
when they mark your sheet there are a few bonus points they would give you if you do the following.....they call that golden points:
1. when you see someone quite in the group and you see that the person have not spoken as much.....POINt THAT PERSON OUT BY NAME...., EXAMPLE:.....Lisa, what do you think?' or 'hey guys lets give Lisa also a chance to speak' or.....'lisa you have been quite what do you think'. ok?get me?
2. you also get golden points if you address a person by his name
3. and then what you must remember is.......NEVER EVER EVER DISAGREE WITH ANYONE!! even if they wrong!! the moment you disagree...IT MEANS NEGATIVE!!! ALWAYS COMPLIMENT ONES SUGGESTION! BUT DONT DISAGREE! THAT IS AN INSTANT DISMISSAL!
4. THEN YOU ALSO GET A GOLDEN POINT IF YOU SAY THE FOLLOWING 'HI GUYS COULD WE JUST SUMMARISE OF WHAT WE HAVE JUST SPOKEN', OR 'WITH OTHER WORDS JUST TO SUMMARISE UP TO NOW....' OR 'could we just clarify and get all the points together'....get me????
5. then you also get a golden point if you constantly warn people about the time...lets say they give you 5 minutes for a topics.....you could perhaps say....' GUYS WE HAVE APPROX 2 MIN LEFT...SO LETS COME TO A CLOSURE!!!!! Get me?
smile allot and be very positive!!!
6. ok.....when they give u a topic....and as you have a group discussion, suddenly they stop the group and add some more detail in.....always sound like you very excited for example 'oh my gosh guys...this is getting interesting....they add more cards on....' or 'ohhhhh this is awsome....now the game just start' ...get me??
7. never speak over people, and when someone take the lead.....and speaks all the time....let him be...u will see he will not last long!
8 when someone says something, always clarify ones or twice by saying...'john i really like your point, WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY SAYING? THEN after he reply...u can say...'wow thats awsome.....wise thought'
9. NEVER SAY....'I THINK' OR 'I HAVE DICEDED'...ALWAYS SAY....'WE AS A GROUP HAVE DECIDED' OR 'WE ALL AGREE'
10. ALWAYS ASK THE GROUP......'do we all agree on that point' for example...when they say ....name 5 celebrities in the world who you wil invite to your birthday and why?when you clarify or summarise ....you can for example say....'Naomi Campbell.....do we all agreee'? get me??
ok you use all these above for both group discussions......! however in the second group discussion, you have to listen carefully, cause thats when they ask questions about what was said.....listen very carefully, cause they ask all individually! and if you cant remember just say anything but never keep quite!!
if you can go tru all these points i promise you now you cant go wrong!!!
then for the final interview.....just be yourself....laught allot and smile allot! and one golden rule.....NEVER SPEAK BAD ABOUT YOUR X EMPLOYEES OR X BOSS!! always speak positive!! you can for example say. 'I REALY LOVED MY OLD JOB..BUT EMIRATES IS AN OPPORTUNITY, THATS WHY I WANA CHANCE MY JOB!
