Yes I agree with you Red Rat. I am very disappointed with EK's recruitment processes. I have applied so many times and have not had a single bit of correspondance. In Sydney I went to the open day and got right through to the end - only to be dropped before final interviews. In Perth - we didn't even get the luxury of being seen. "We will call you" they said. What
!
EK are such a good airline and I believe they are missing out on many dedicated and truely professional people who are hopelessly applying online and by mail. I have flown with them and most cabin crew have been wonderful, except on the last flight I took - where one hostess couldn't muster a single smile the whole 10 hours. How do they choose the right people? What do they look for because I would be very interested to know what their criteria are!
They hold open days all around the world, but do not follow the same guidelines. Sometimes everyone gets a fair go, other times no one gets a go, and then after that there are the very lucky individuals who are invited. Like I have said - I have been offered interviews and work with 4 other great airlines, yet have never been given a chance in 2 years of trying with EK. I think it is just the luck of the draw.
Obviously I am not trying to insult or upset anyone that may work for EK, as you are truely doing a fantastic job. The airline is exceptional. I would just love the chance, as many others do - to be seen.
