WISHING ALL THE UK OPEN DAY GROUP THE BEST OF LUCK. AND IF NOT SUCCESSFUL THE BEST OF LUCK FOR NEXT TIME.....
Hey bhill68 + EK Gal how are youre plans going for depature. (medicals as well) hope all is good....EK Gal i tried calling you yesterday to check up on how you went with contacting amalka....any luck.
the trick is let it ring to her phone 4 times than hang up dont wait till the end. then do the same again after 2 minutes. after that than call to the full and youll get through. ilearnt that trick when i got inpaitient at a certain stage.lol
hows work and hows limited access to PPRuNe doing for ya.lol
anyway thanks for the message (FB) and hope to hear from you soon.
hey meedo,
plans for departure are going slowly- i have to go to an audiologist in hobart now, apparently the hearing test at doc wasn't thorough enough and the earliest appointment i can get is 20/8. i finally got through to someone (not amelka- she is compeletly hopeless and your phone tactics did not work) and talked to them about baggage and the audiologist and have some bad news, apparently the training for the leave date 29/8 is overbooked as it is and if I don't get the hearing done in the next week my leaving date will be pushed back to the 12/9 as the other weeks are full too-----
so trying to ring all the audiologists in hobart again today to get on their cancellation lists but have to wait see how it goes- if I don't leave until 12/9 I'll get to see grandma who is flying over from NZ on the 6/9 to Hobart so good and bad both ways-------
sorry but at least you'll have BHill when you get in to dubai!!
i'll keep you updated

After reading through some threads, its interesting to see that people who have pre-selected to join Emirates are already 'bagging' the Emirates recruitment co-ordinators, you will meet them on your first day or so when you land in Dubai and you can see clearly the people they have to deal with.
They look after so many people day in day and do a fab job. The mailboxes in Emirates are always full regardless of which department you call through the sheer volume of crew with queries, there are over 9,000 of us and at least 1000 of you guys going through recruitment processes at different stages. So before calling, stop and think of the pressures that these guys are going through to get you online.
ps. Emailing always works, u'll get a response within 2 days, (Friday & Saturday are of course the DXB weekend)
PLEASE TRY YOURE BEST....WHEN YOU WENT TO THE AUDIOLIGIST DID HE/SHE DO A GRAPH THING TO TEST YOURE HEARING AS THATS WHAT EK REQUIRE ALONG WITH THE DOCUMENT... IF THE DOCTOR YOU WENT HAS THAT TELL THEM TO DO A COPY AND HAVE A REPORT READY FOR YOU. TRY YOURE BEST TO LEAVE ON THE 29th....BELEIVE ME ITS ALL ABOUT LUCK WITH TRYING TO GET THROUGH THERE NOT THAT BAD....lol
SULTAN SENT HER MEDS OFF AND SAYS HI....KEEP ME UPDATED
when i went to the doc they did a hearing test and filled in the emirates form but couldn't do a graph and their machine doesn't do graphs. so thats why i have to go to audiologist now....................
i'll try but i have to say its not looking good so far, i'm on the cancellation lists but see how i go.
say hi sultan too----------- i'll have to start stalking people who are leaving on the 12/9............
Thats what they are meant to fill out when they did the hearing test.
push them into it you paid for a an appointmet.lol and they didnt do their job correctly....lol
i agree recruitment staff do a great job, and i wouldn't call unless I had to, I'm a recruitment consultant at the moment, looking after over 200 temporary employees and i understand its hard to get back to everyone but the reason I used the word hopeless is after over a week of emailing everyday and calling everyday i still received no response- not even one to say, we're looking into it we'll get back to you--- its just frustrating when your on the other side of the world with a valid question and you cannot get through. i'm not having another jab, but seriously maybe they should look into their procedures if everyone has the same problem??
I had my final interview last week. After 9 days of wait, I have finally received it and I am joining on Aug 29!!! Woohoo!!!
This is soooo overwhelming! I was at the mall when she called me and all I did was to say "thank you" and "okay". Anyway, she told me to finish my medicals as soon as possible but the problem is I didn't receive the email yet. Hmmm... Maybe it will take a while, right?
I hope you guys can help me out so that I know what to do. Thanks!
Congrats on the golden call - exciting stuff huh?
Got my call on Sunday morning and received the e-mail with the medicals' details 2 days later - you should get it this week still. My DOJ is 19 September. (I have to give 4 weeks' notice).
Where are u from?
Well Done czarina Will look forward to seeing you at my trianing then. lol. also congrats to louisd. its a good time to do training during ramadan, as we can focus on our work.lol and then after training when graduate then we can start having fun and do some major shopping whilst in dubai
Anyway i hope you girls go well with completing meds and getting youre bags ready. EK GAL how are you. How did you go with the Audioligist.....you still leaning towards changing the date?
Anyway keep me updated.........the list of successfull applicants are growing..which is good to hear...the A380 is the real deal and more cabin crew to run it. who wants to work in the bar upstairssssssssssssssss
I know, right now seems to be a good time to EK what with the A380 and exciting new destinations. I bet you're really excited as it's not far now 'till your start date.
I have everything crossed that i'll be successful - i must admit i am already struggling and it's only been a week since my interview!
Good luck to everyone and i'll keep you updated on my wait x
I received the overloaded attachment today! Good relief! Louisd, I am really from the Philippines but I went to the open day here in Singapore. I have a few questions regarding the medicals.
I just had my medicals on HIV and chest x-ray last April, will they consider that? (Unfortunately, I only have a photocopy of it because I gave it to the immigrations for visa purpose).
HI yes, i am already working with Emirates, My probation finishes next month so fingers crossed.
For those of you who are interested in upgrade infomation and time frames they are down to just 10months in economy before you can move upto Business, when i first got here it was over a year so thats exciting news. Also the A380 currently to apply you need to have been here a year, that is a rumour but they prefer people who have been here a while, not sure if that is to do with exclusivity of the metal smartie tube i am not sure.
Well Done czarina. Make sure you get the dentals done asap the rest is straight forward. and guys and gals who had the final interviews, it takes time for the call to come be patient. they told me it would be between 2 and 6 weeks i was one of the lucky ones that got a call before then, EK Gal and other got the call after me by a few weeks so it depends. and i_am_waiting. im not in a rush to move into business class, yes they pay better but i will be patient as ever and try to get through the training and dedicate my time to woking hard . then well see what happens maybe become cabin crew trainor later on and settle down, as with middle eastern parents they want me to get married soon. told thats not happening yet....lets work and have a bit of fun than we could focus on family stuff. have a good day group.
I fly out from Melbourne tomorrow for my DOJ 8th of Aug (damn, will miss the opening ceremony!)
Just wondering, would you say for the flight over it would be ok to dress fairly casual? i.e nice shirt, jeans etc? In the final briefing there is no mention of this - only that for the first few days of training we shoud wear office type clothing.
Also, for those of us who are going on a DOJ flight one of my mates who is already in Dubai told me we are welcome to use the EK lounge etc as we are now technically staff? can anyone confirm that?
hi there, i was meant to leave that day but delayed it. im pretty sure smart casual as they are aware that were travelling and the video shows it too.. but its best to call them now and let us know as a confirmation it would be great to know.
I can't belive it! I was in Mombasa for a layover and they phoned me telling me that I've got through!
I've got to do the medicals now and if all goes well I'm off on 5 September!
I'm so happy!
Has anyone else from the Rome recruitment day (26 July) been called?
Let me know...
Good luck to everyone,
