Hi all,

went to my assessment day yesterday and didn't get through. I thought I was doing quite well until I got the "unfortunately" letter.

When one of the recruiters was asking how I came to be in Dubai I mentioned that my dad's a pilot for Emirates and we came over from Qatar... Thought that I was just giving a little bit of history, but could this have been seen as me trying to use the fact that my dad's already with the company to get in? A kind of "dropping names" thing? I didn't intend it to be, but from an outsiders opinion is that what it could have looked like?

I'd be interested if this is something I should avoid mentioning in 6 months when I apply again.
