Hi Flyinghigh - thanks for the info. It sounds like this is the material requirements of an Emirates AD - my question is specifically in regards to an OD with Emirates.
Can you confirm what specifically was requested of you to bring to or directly asked for by the recruiters at the OD? Thanks!
That is, before the OD were you asked to bring any specific material (excluding CV/resume) to the OD - and what (if any) did the recruiters ask for at the OD? How many other attendees at the OD actually brought along photos?

Astara,
I was actually replying to VioletNguyen and her inquiry was regarding the casual photos.
As for OD pics, they asked us to bring 1 passport-sized photo and a 1 full length professional photo. I had other pics, as suggested by other posters, but they did not ask for them.

OD's vs AD's
Hello everybody!
I have a question, maybe you can help me.
Is it better to apply online, and go to the AD (if you are contacted), or is it best to go directly to an OD?
And if I apply and they don't contact me, can I still go to an OD somewhere else?
Thank you!

Hi,
It has been 3 1/2 weeks since my FI and I was wondering if anyone knows why my status states 'Approval in progress' as most people it states 'Under review'? I do not want to get my hopes up as you can imagine
Also do they check your tattoos in your medical once you arrive in Dubai? As I am currently in the process of Laser removal fora tattoo on my arm.
Pleeeaaassseeee help

From recent experience, you need to get your old manager to start the process. So email them directly, or if you don't have their email, ask any friends still there to get it for you from the intranet : )
Good luck!

Emirates Education Level
Hi all,
Wondering if you would be able to assist?
Last year i had my final interview in Melbourne, Australia. Waited for the call, got the email instead.
I am going to to another open day shortly and try again.
But i believe this may have been the issue. I did not complete year 12. But i have a cert 4 and diploma (had not completed at the time) and am about the finish a Bachelors next year. Anybody else had a similar issue or know somebody that has?

Abby_777,
It's much of a muchness really. An OD means anyone can turn up and be considered whereas an AD means your online application will be screened before you are invited to attend the AD. ADs do tend to be smaller groups but their size can vary.
You can apply for ODs and be invited to them as well however the competition can be fierce - as in 350 other applicants may turn up! If you choose to attend an OD as opposed to the invited AD you may need to make your venue selection wisely. Choose a location in a smaller city that will probably have fewer people turn out. When I went to my OD (in the west of my country) last year there were 83 applicants and 5 made it to FI whereas 2 weeks before (in the east) there was 350 applicants and 5 selected...

Even if you get through right now you will be waiting 6 months and I quote:
"Regretably we need to inform you that due to fully booked training courses and specific operational requirements, we are unable to proceed with your formal offer of employment at this time therefore we will place your file on hold for six months"
They are still not confirming new crew.
My personal advice and opinion entirely of my own and of a numerous amount of crew
- Dont apply

Apply
Not everyone is on hold. My friend interviewed back in August and received her golden call last week. She has a Nov 8th DOJ.
Now if your male that waiting process is a whole other story (or so I hear).

Perhaps that is so. To be honest it doesn't bother me. I'm really not fussed about if they are hiring or not. I'm just trying to give honest advice that most people may regret making the decision to start with them after they've been there a while. There may be a few pro's but there are more cons And its not all glitz and glamor as recruitment sell In fact I'd personally say they sell a lot which isn't quite correct.

Under Review
Im not sure what under review means. I applied and was invited to attend open day back in July but I never went and my status has been "under review" ever since.

I haven't applied yet but when they say "Candidates who fail to make it through the initial screening process may reapply after six months", Do they mean the open day or the assessment day? Or either?

Arabic Speakers CV Drop-Off
Hello guys. I dropped my CV on the drop-off day in Dubai this month and got invited to an assessment day the following week. I wasn't able to attend because i was on a business trip.
Should I wait 6 months to drop my CV again? or having not attended the assessment makes that rule not applicable? In the invitation email they mentioned the following:
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you have already received this invitation and have attended an open day or an assessment for the cabin crew position within the last six months and/or have attended an interview within the last twelve months, kindly ignore this invitation.
I understood that the rule doesn't apply in my case if the CV Drop-Off is not considered an open day. So does anybody know if it's considered an open day or not?
Thanks

Higher education applicants?
Hello, everyone
I am attending an open day for Emirates in October and I'm pretty well prepared, but I do have one worry: I am college educated, meaning I have MA (Master of Arts) degree.
Do they accept people with education higher than high school?
In a country with high unemployment, we are constantly overqualified, so please don't think of me as boasteful.
I appreciate the help, thanks

Poulet,
Congratulations on your MA.
As someone who has a high degree of education they will not treat you any differently than someone who doesn't.
Please also take note that the passengers wont know any difference and will treat you with the same disgregard, disdain and vileness as a crew member with a PHD or no degree whatsoever - plus your seniors will not care if you're far too overqualified.
By all means go for it but it would be a shame to waste your education.

Thank you, Michael
Unfortunately, my country is deep in debt and unemployment so it is impossible for me to find a job.
As for the disdain and vileness, I've worked in customer service, they can be such sweethearts
I have two more questions regarding references:
1. I've read they check references for your last two jobs.
Is it true or do they check whatever they want?
Do they make phone calls or require written recommendations?
2. I've worked for large telecommunications corporation in customer call center as a student and we did not end on good terms, for various reasons. I would definitely not like that reference checked.
If I write it in my resume, will they check it?
It was also over 4 years ago and I've worked different jobs since.
Thank you all
