Unhappy Upsetting Edmonton Emirates Open Day - July 8th Review

Hey Everyone
I just got back from the Edmonton day and honestly speaking I am confused as to what Emirates really wants

Today, I cleared all the open day formalities, the two assessment day group activities, however during the last stage from the final assessment test to the final interview, I failed it.

Not sure why I failed it but that's OK, the point is ,
people who wore :
-summer dresses,
-bra showing , revealing outfits,
-Short short skirts
-not wearing professional outfit
-wearing sleeveless dresses

all of the above got letters for the final interview, no, I am not kidding and I did write an e-mail to the HR coordinator plus the senior HR coordinator at emirates just now...

I am not upset that I did not get in, however I am upset because Emirates being an International Airline shouldn't be giving final interview opportunities to people wearing revealing clothes atleast?! I am not questioning their recruitment strategies or policies, however I was shocked when I came outside and saw who and who got the final interview invitation.

I had my hair tied in a bun, wore professional business attire, and me as well as so many people who wore business attire were rejected!

Overall, I have been to many open houses / attended final interview in the past and have never experienced one like this before...

This was big joke today, not kidding, it was very disappointing to see people who had their hair in a mess, did not wear professional outfit, who wore jean jackets got in ... don't know what else to add
