Hi Guys!
2 weeks ago I found out that I got into Emirates! This was only 1 week and a half after my final interview!
Have completed my medicals and yesterday they called me to tell me to resign which I have done today.
I will be starting Oct 29th... SO EXCITED!!!!
Thought I would post a few tips on what I thought helped me through...
* When applying on the website make sure you have good professional photos done and all your information is accurate.
* If you don't hear from them and feel a little anxious give them a call at the Head Office and ask them to look up your application no. and ask them when they will be coming to your town or if you are able tell them you will be willing to travel - this is what I did.
* On the day if you are nervous just go and talk to as many people as possible. The more friends you make the more confident you will feel. Remember... you are all in the same boat!
* It has been said over and over but make sure your presentation is neat, tidy and professional!!! Dont be afraid to show a little flair but if your invitationan says suit and tie/knee length skirt then WEAR IT!!
* During the group excercises make sure you listen to others, acknowledge what they have said, offer your opinion and then confirm with the group. Tried and tested method. Dont talk too much and dont say too little, find the happy medium. Make sure your body language is open and always maintain eye contact.If someone is silent try and include them by asking what they think. Don't look at the recruiters!... its best to pretend they are not there.
* Don't be afraid to let your personality shine. Everyone will appreciate it... trust me!
* If you are successful to the final interview make sure you prepare some answers regarding your past work experience. It is hard to know what they are going to ask as the final can be more like an informal chat but whatever they do ask remember to explain the situation, what you did and then the outcome. If you are talking about a negative situation make sure you turn it into a positive.
* Remember the photos you submit here are very important. This is what the selection panel will judge you on. At my interview they asked me to submit a casual photo as well which apparently is a new thing. I gave them one of me standing in a garden smiling (corny i know!!)
* If you have been rejected before please try again. This was my 3rd attempt and I finally made it!
All the best and good luck!
