True, I understand the 9:00am sharp, which is why I was turned away too for being late. But my point is why call it an Open Day. An Open Day is when you can arrive at any time. Like I said Air Canada calls it's own recruitment drive an Open Day, where you arrive any time between say 2pm to 7pm, have to sit for an hour or two before you meet a recruiter, and from there progress to the next Interview level. People flow in all through the day, and you can reach there by 7pm closing time too and still be guaranteed an interview. Emirates terming their recruitment day Open Day seems quite contradictory to the actual term.
