To nickedo15

I think your advice is all spot on...however I do think if people need to learn these behaviour patterns for a recruitment process (as opposed to naturally displaying them) then some really need to consider if this is the right position for them.

If your natural penchant in a group setting is to speak over people/not listen/put down their ideas and generally trying to be a bossy boots and run the show then the truth is going to out once in the job!

meedo!! i'm back

hello--- its my last week at work--- thank goodness for that!!!
just have to have a big complain about emirates HR, i have called around 20 times a day since tuesday and sent 4 emails about my baggage and they will not speak to me! and one time amelka picked up and then hung back up- and no it was a d/c because then she wouldn't pick up the line again.
its becoming a huge challenge to speak to them!
also i finally got an email back about my medicals (which they sent to the wrong email- and so it was lucky i even checked it) and they listed all these things i hadn't done- that were actually attached!! so i've written back saying - please refer to page 2 of the attached etc-- hopefully they realise
god knows what is going on over in dubai HR right now.
anyways so still waiting on final approval --- i'm DYING to get it!!
any news from anyone else????
random question of the day does anyone know if dubai have netball competitions?
also for everyone i read on the cabin crew emirates forum that generally you earn $AU 2500-3000 per month, which includes meals, allowances and flight allowance.
bring on the 29/8-- cant wait to get out of hobart!!!!!

Post Hey Ek Gal....welcome Back

LOL.....FIRST OF ALL WELCOME BACK TO THE FORUM BUDS. SECONDLY I TOLD CALL BETWEEN 3:30pm to 4:05 pm and youll get through. beleive me shell answer. i saw your document.lol there were a few duplicates.lol. $AU 3000 is not bad tax 3 so 33K Annually plus eho knows what bonuses we get at the end of their financial year. so between 3 6 years in the business and hopefully that means a good saving at the end....here in aus no chance you would be able to save 70K in 3 years. regarding netball have no idea......i wouldnt mind playing a bit of football/soccer...dont forget the time to call between 3:30pm and 4:05 to be exact i got through at 4:02 LOL. shell answer no doubt about that. Keep me updated buds, im here till 12:30 pm then head home..... short day today ...keep me updated....

silly HR

HAHAHA, i honstly did call between 3:30-4 BUT i will try YET AGAIN this afternoon and if i still get no answer trust me you'll be hearing about it hahah. yes my document that i sent you was a bit muddled but the one i sent through was all fixed up and rescanned! so i didn't think it was that hard to work out.

yeah i was pretty happy with the salary- i'm on a fair bit more now but i hate my job and its all commission so theres no gurarantees. yes def able to save when paying no accommodation/bills!

i love playing soccer too- but i'm not that good at it, i LOVE to watch it though- but i like playing netball because i am actually good at it- we'll have to suss it out when we have our week off!
i have my alarm set for 3:30- trust me i'm there on it! (i really should stop moaning- and just be happy i'm GOING!!)

also i'm trying to encourage lauren from hob to come iwth us on the 29/8!! fingers crossed on that one!!!

p.s your a slacker, finishing at 12:30!!!!

Post What Moaning

Youll get an Answer, Trust me. was i wrong when i told you youll get a call back. Im not slacking up in work they just cut a few shifts today due to the fact its a bit quiet so thats fine by me today. its the only shift cut for this fortnight. thats great new about lauren pending she accepts. And good you fixed up the doc.lol. anyway thats good youre back online in the forum....check out that blog youll like it....

I probably end up learning netball in 50 degree heat....lol. most likely will end up playing soccer after ramadan...fasting starts 3 days after i depart. im used to it as when melbourne was in summer during ramadan it was unbearable but considering i have airconditiong during training and dont go out during the day i will be light tanned and no darker. and ill survive...thankfully training is during that period.... DID You See the A380 vids...type Emirates+A380 search in google and youtube and youll see how good of a plane that is.....

completely frustrated

hi meedo-- soo i rang from 3:30- 4:15 solidly. i got one pick up from the number that called me to offer me the job from the HR lady who pretty much cant speak english. she still now thinks im a pilot!!! i tried to talk to her about my baggage and she kept saying you must email problem, and when i told her i had emailed every day for over a week she just said we get back to you!! i said when will you get back to me? she just goes- you wait you wait and then just said bye!! amelka ignored her phone the WHOLE time---
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! too bad if i had an actual emergency like I was booked to leave this Friday and couldn't go!!
i cant check the blogs, still under a fair bit of supervision.... but might have a look when i get home....
from the frustrated ek girl

Hi there, Im new to this forum, I've just recently applied for Emirates Cabin Crew and was just wondering how the process works - Do you just turn up to one of the open days with CV etc or do you have to be invited by email after online application?
would be grateful if some1 could inform me!

Nikedo15 thank you for all the good points regarding group discussion. It was my problem that I spoke too much... next time I won't do it again. That just gives me another 6 months to get prepared ....
Hopefully next time I'll make it thru.

hello everybody ! just had my assessment day with EK in London ! and didn't got through the first round

well nickedo15 has given some good advice and I ve kinda did what I thought was right at the group exercise. I ve tried to summarise the group discussion; listen to others; maybe it was because I didn't speak that much ?! anyways I think I ve tried to hard to concentrate and just forgot to relax and speak when I felt like . But I think danielsirrom is right ! I think U just have to be yourself! Now I know that's what theyr looking for. They can spot U if U are fakeing! lol
There were ppl who didn't speak that much and passed and others who were almost shouting to impose their opinions and they all passed ! So think there are no rights or wrongs ! Just to be relaxed


Hey emirates girl hope everything is going to sort out ok for U

anyone been to the assessment today/ how did it went for U?

Emirates selection process in London 29th and 30th July

Hello everyone this is my experience of an Emirates selection process in London. 29th and 30th July



Day 1: You watch 3 videos about Emirates then have a chat any questions you may have. Then you do the reach test. Then you introduce yourself to everyone. Then you have to do 3 group exercises - they want to see how you interact with other people really. Then you have an hr for lunch and they make there minds up and make descions who to keep/ not to keep etc...

You get a piece of paper and they tell you to go down to reception and look at it - it's either congratulations or sorry blah blah blah.

You then go back upstairs to fill out some paper work do a pyschometrical test and arrange the times for everyone's interviews for the next day.

Day 2: The interview was with 1 recruiter and they put you at ease it's more like a chat rather than an interview it's all based on your previous jobs and experience there is nothing you can prepare just think about your past experiences and have some scenarios ready.

Now i have to wait 3 - 6 weeks fingers crossed i really would be so happy if i got it!

Good luck to those with interview coming up and to the guys going out to DXB soon! x

Does Emirates really contact your references after the final interview?

References

I was told at the interview that they don't check all references maybe 50% of all applications i think i was told!

Santusa don't worry you'll find out soon enough if you don't get it just keep trying. I've got my fingers crossed for you. I heard that 22nd July in London had a big turnout? I only had 6 people on my day...................
Weird!
