Interviews, jobs & sponsorshipDo ya feel lucky, Punk? Well do ya? If so, here's the place to swap the hot gen on who's sponsoring or employing, their selection criteria, and where those oh so elusive first jobs can be spotted in the wild. Watch out for the tumbleweeds...
Hey POISON, how do u knw that they r already through with the process for recruitin the batch for June? Did u hear it frm sumwhere, as in sum rumour, or hav any article supportin ur statement?
Well it would make sense that Etihad employees kids got first go, you have to look after your own. But then what was the point of calling it a global scheme if it is only internal?
If this were really the case, I would at least expect Etihad to contact all applicants and inform them of this... or even just update the application status on their careers website?! hmmmm
Guys are you all really that stupid to listen to this bafoon by the name of 'poison'.
We are talking about an internationally recognised company here, who sponsor the likes of Chelsea FC and Ferrari F1.
Even if it was the case that the 12 cadets had been selected (which I firmly believe it is not), they would have at least sent system generated emails telling the rest of us that we have been unsuccessful.
Another member of this forum contacted the Etihad Head Office and they informed him that they scheme may infact be delayed by a month or so, most probably due to the large quantity of people applying.
So obviously the final 12 have NOT been selected yet, otherwise they would have told him so.
I know its not any of my business. But why on earth would you want to convert from GCAA to JAA especially if you obtain it from the likes of etihad, you're probably going to have more money and a relaxed lifestyle working in the middle east.
Anyways with regards to your question, I think you have to take the 14 groundschool exams and re-take the IR test and also demonstrate your competency on the aircraft you are type rated on
I was mearly interested on what it would take to change back. You never know what circumstances may arise. So I think it is wise to consider my options.
the website has been changing details for the past 5 months...before it was stictly for etihad employees and relatives of employees age 18-29 yrs old...now i am checking the website and it changed totally. the info about it being exclusive for etihad employees and relatives is no longer stated and the age limit is changed to 26...anyway i will have my 1st assessment on the 28th of april and i assure u guys i will get the right info for u so as not to make a big confusion.goodluck guys.
Hey diyosa29 I presume that you're one of the UAE nationals who is hoping to start in June providing that you pass all assessments. May I ask how old you are?
Yeah, let's not lose hope. As you might have seen that from the begining there were people posting strange statements and we found that some were even not reading the articles carefully. As there is a national scheme as well, so we presume that the intake which these people are talking about should be the inhouse one, and then the global one must come out. Although we can expect delays.
In my opinion No because it may almost work against you, in the sense that they have already clearly outlined what they require from you. By giving them a cover letter etc they may perceive you as one who cannot follow simple instructions i.e. attach CV ( and that was all they required, unless ofcourse you have a medical certificate etc)
Why not send the lot?
Class 1, Basic disclosure, logbook, cv and covering letter? Personally I would only ever send what is requested. People are always very busy and will not like having to trawl thru' lots of bits of info to get what they need
Do as it asks.
You are already filling in an online form and are just attaching the CV to go with it (mainly to show your interests and eduation aspect I suspect) so do that... imho.
I am going to be attaching a CV and a medical cert.
Look at the large magnitude of applications they are getting. Anything that shows them that you are willing to go 'above and beyond' I think you should. Maybe that the cover letter will separate your file from the rest. The way I see it is it will show how interested you are, and with many of us having little or no experience in Aviation, the cover letter will probably tell a 'tale' of how and why you want to enter the field of aviation and fly for Etihad. (And maybe perhaps that you can write English.)
I should also add to the above note that, they probably won't spend more then a minute reviewing your application. As someone in the previous post said they might just like your name and give your application more time over someone else.
The thing that I can't seem to understand is HOW you shortlist for a position like this with so many applicants and so little requirements. i.e. 18-26, medically fit, high-school diploma...
