Hey Guys n Gals!
I hope everyone is doing well.
I have had a look in the last few pages of this thread but I was wondering what people actually put in the initial e-mail asking for the specific assessment day.

To me, I would think that if they just wanted you to state the assessment location they would have an on-line form with some verification code to stop spamming.

Has anyone gone to town on what acheivements they have had or have they simply sent an e-mail saying

"Dear Etihad. I am interesting in joining the assessment in XXX in XXX month
Regards"

Also, does anyone know what is entailed on the actual assessment day?

hey there,

I just sent an email saying I would be happy to attend the London Assessment and that I am holder of a Canadian PPL.

But that's strange, on what base are they going to select people? they didn't even ask about age, or CV, or anything. They just said they will contact us one month before the assessment date. Are we all going to be filtered during the assessment day or are they going to ask us some questions and documents and then select only a few for the assessment day?

I know nobody has an aswer, but what do you think?

Hi jumbo744,

The way I understand it, and im only speculating, we will be asked to submit our application and CV before the assessments and we will be whittled down from there. Thats just the way I understood "no cvs are needed at this time". It is unclear however when we may be required to submit these.

I may be wrong!

Hi all,

I sent my mail for the London assessment on the 29th, but did not get the reply others are mentioning. Do you think I should resend or wait a little more (next Monday perhaps, 2 weeks)?

Cheers
Alberto

yes i think you should wait as you said. 2 days ago I was thinking of sending a second email but then I decided to wait, and the next morning when I woke up, I had the reply. You should receive the mail soon

Hi,

From my information there are a lot of applications, over the EID period 600 alone, the selections are not til next year, so if you applied and did not hear for a week or two, I really would not worry. Remeber whilst this may seem like the most important thing in the world to you, Etihad have one or two other things to do!! The scheme has not even been advertised yet. They have another staff only selection this year, I would think they are sorting that out first.
If you email twice its just more emails to go through and will slow down all replies.
From my info, if you apply you will be asked to attend a selection, if when you come to the selection you present a passport that shows you over the age limit, or any documentation that shows a commercial licence you will not be allowed to take part in the selection. Nice and easy, no filter other than ability.

As I say its just what I hear!!

Hi all!
FYI,
I sent the email to them yesterday morning at 10am (08.10.2008) and got a reply this morning at 11am saying all the info is going to be sent to me the month before assessment.

Finally Got A Reply

Guys I just got the reply from Etihad after a long wait
Now I am waiting untill they email again 1 month before the Assesment

Again I am asking guys to start a new thread about the 2009 Cadet programe
I think searching for any info in 70 Pages is horrible and leaving it to grow more would make it worse
So I am starting a new Topic on that Link

Well I applied on the same day a friend of mine applied, he got the reply minutes after, and I haven't got it yet. Been around a week now! I guess we should wait.

The assesments are not until next year, they have staff selections to do first if you dont get an e-mail right away I would not panic, as I said what seems like a long time to you and very important might not be so important to EY in the short term, I am sure they will reply in good time.
Patience is required!

Hopefully someone will be able to help me here. I applied for Etihad this year, got to the interview stage but unfortunately was unsuccessful. I sent them an email asking when I could reapply as the 6 month break was a bit vague. I was hoping it was 6 months from the date you FIRST applied but they said to me that it is 6 months from the LAST assessment. My interview was around the 20th September which means I can only apply again after 20th March 2009. I live in the UK and the next London assessments are in February so I will have to fly to Abu Dhabi which I really don't mind but another lad that was in the same interview group as me was told he can apply for the Frankfurt assessment which is in March, but less than 6 months from the last assessment...

Could someone please advise? Do you think they may be leniant and let me apply for February? Have I been advised incorrectly by someone in Etihad recruitment?

Thanks for listening...

Apologies I don't think my post was clear, I have already attended the assessment and recieved a congratulations but maybe email for attending stage 2, but I still have not recieved any other info and I believe others (who have attended stage 1 a few weeks after me in other countries) have been invited to stage 2 in November. Anyone else in my boat?
