thats a little discouraging on my part, i am scheduled to attend the assessment on december and im pretty nervous about it.
i guess for us, filipinos, its going to be easy to adjust with dubai's weather since we also experience the same every summer time here. We do have muslim communities here and im pretty much familiar with their culture and behaviour as well. but of course, im still scared of the thought that ill have to endure being looked down by the arabs in any case because they do treat foreigners a second class citizen? how worse will it be if we are from the third world country(philippines), knowing ANA is from europe, and europe is a succesful country, isnt it?
I recently met a friend who happens to work for emirates, she's also a filipina but she applied in dubai, she's based in dubai because part of her family stays there. She was lucky to get in and really happy to be swinging around different countries around the world! She told me, it was easy for her to get the job because she has the recommendation letter from some big boss in the emirates. Lucky her!
What makes me nervous too is that the assessment day is drawing near. Im not much of a talker and im scared to join the group discussion. What if i just get speechless and mentally blocked? Oh, the thought of it really starts to melt me now. Its goin to be a month of agony!! Waa.
Im planning to take up some speech power program, it might help me on the assessment day or even probably in the long run
because im also considering on applying in other airlines. Probably Philippine airlines. Dont really care if the wage is tragic low, it's going to be a really good experience for a young girl like me. And gettin in any airlines will be a great prestige, as it takes up a lot of vast effort and perseverance to get in there! Not to mention that you really have to have something under that hair, inside your head, your brain
Oh well, hope everything goes well on my assessment day. Hope I could get lots of support here.
Thanks fellow ppruners
