Hi Tasha_28
I am so sorry to hear you didn't get a positive answer, I am sure you would have been a great Flight Attendant for EK: open-minded, friendly and helpful!
Don't lose faith, and try to think that the next year can be an opportunity to do new things, to prepare yourself better, and maybe get a degree that can satisfy them.
Also try other airlines companies, like Ethiad...
I see those next 6 months i have to wait before re-applying as an opportunity to improve my foreign languages skill, have another work experience abroad, read more about EK (i still follow the discussions on this board e.g)... and also to think about other options than EK for my career...
I understand it may have been very tough to read that email after building up projects and being excited.
EK recruitment process can be very tough.
i send you some cheers up and good luck for everything!
Laetitia
