Mmm007 I had my FI on the 15th August and I received the grooming email on the 24th August, my status changed to You'll be contacted... on the 28th Aug and received the Golden Call on the 29th Aug...
My recruitment co-ordinator suggested like Date of Joining the 17th of October, but then he changed me to the 31st of October...
To be honest, I thought they would tell me to join to the company by the end of November but surprinsigly they suggested to me to join in October...
I have been told that they are very low in staff now, and they are looking for people to join the company as soon as possible. Also, in the Open Day, one of the Recruitment Officer said that the Aviation College where not very crowded, and the other Recruitment Officer was not very happy when some people who made it to the Final Interview said that they could not join the company until January (obviously they wanted to spend Christmas time with their family), and they also asked the people if they were called to move to Dubai within two weeks if they would go or not....
From my point of view I think they are really considering how flexible the people are... because they are very low on staff...
I would have really loved to spend Christmas time with my family and also my birthday with family and friends... but it is my dream to join Emirates, and I am going to achieve my dream... so you should consider if this is your dream, and what you want to do with your life...
I'm pretty sure I will have fun spending xmas in Dubai, meeting new people and also it's going to be a new experience (but without my family)...
I hope this helps.
Good luck !!!
