As far as I know the first message you got is a confirmation email stating that they have received your online application (i got that one too..) The second email is a rejection as far as i know.. They must have screened your application and decided that you are not going to be shortlisted for an assessment day..

I'm beginning to wonder if anyone that applied to EY got the application "rejection" email, as they weren't hiring for a short period a few months ago. So bizarre. I remember getting my invite last year, and my application wasnt even complete! And even though I didn't make it to the final, I got another invite 2 months later, so go figure.
dazednconfused: Congrats on getting your invite, and so soon!! Usually its 1-2 weeks before the assessment day. Did you email them yourself? Or did they just send you one? And how long ago was it?

Etihad interview
Hi there, I'd like to bring my personal experience with Etihad altough it's an odd one.
I attended the assessment day on the 25th of Feb., in Milan and believe it or not, I was the only one to have turned upOnly 45 miutes later,anothergirl showed up! There were three girls from the Recruitment dept. Actually, the third was just assisting the process as a trainee. Two are from Philippines, the trainee is French. The boss is a girl of about 25 and has 3 year-experience within etihad. The second is not a cabin crew for her height doesn't allow her to meet the minimun requirements.
Due to total lack of candidates, I didn't get any formal presentation of the company itself and didn't do any group job. I only did the english test, being not native speaker and the one-to-one interview. Simple questions were asked like..Why did you choose to apply for a position with them, do you know anything about abu dhabi and life there, do you think you'll have problems relocating in a muslim country or sharing a flat with people you don't know, what would you do if a female passenger vomited on her garments..
I went through this 1st stage and they are checking on my references.
The other girl didn't get it, she was rejected!I am a 10-year-experienced cabin crew and the other candidate has been flying for 3 and was a purser! So don't worry.
Do keep in mind to:
-get there on time, better if you get there at least 20 minutes earlier so that you can have the chance to introduce yourself to the interviewers with a nice smile
-Style of clothing: formal business
-Hand in a clean Cv sheet etc...
-Say that you gathered info on Etihad and Abu dhabi from the internet, if no personal experience with that.
-If you are nervous, just admit it and apologize for any mistake you may do
-Say that, although you don't have any customer care experience provided by yourself, YOU have been a customer yourself and know what is like receiveng a good or a bad service. Just say that you still remember being on the side of a customer and that will be your chance to deliver service.
Good luck! I think both Abu dhabi and Etihad are great but have some doubts about the salary they offer!

I'm a little concerned about the salary now also, but only in a minor way because at this stage of my life my pay is far from being one of the more important things...
If you keep in mind they give you a tax-free salary, layover allowances and other benefits, and your utilities and rent are free then it seems quite ok after all.
Still, the basic is kind of a shocker! ha ha

Answer to midoy10
1.The first e mail is a system generated e mail automatically sent when you complete the application on line.
2. The second comes after the recruitment staff's study of your application.
This is the answer to your question.

It really is...unfortunately and can't really understand why they pay so little money. I think the salary is just not enough. Emirates' s a bit higher and gives you a pension scheme!

Pay
Hey Guys,
Take into consideration. You may think the Basic is crap. But there many many more factors that make up your monthly salary.
Dont be fooled by the little basic pay you will receive in the first 6 months.
Keep inmind layover allowances and other things that contribute to your salary. Look every month will be different. We fly to 46 different destinations. (Approx 52 by years end) so each destination obviously has its different payscales. You will average anywhere between 9,000DHS - 13,000DHS. Sometimes even more.
Plus the free accomadation etc etc. We get pre-approved loans, credit cards thrown at us like its nothing. You will get help with finance here.

Maquillage1: I emailed the HR department as I applied back in November, my status was still set to "applied" and I wanted to make them aware that I was willing to travel to make the assessment day... The day after I got an email saying that they were going to pass it on to the recruiter in the UK and then the day after that I got the invitation! I was so happy to finally receive it:-) I received it 5 days ago!
Juliadayla: I thought Etihad only jt started recruiting again according to the Etihad website!?!? Your story was interesting.. I wish I had gone to that open day:-)

Some people get the permanent accommodation right away when they arrive to AUH, but some will get hotel. If you are in a hotel, you don't have to share the room. Actually some people are more than happy to be staying in a nice hotel . It depends in which hotel you are staying, some offer breakfast, some don't, but you won't get lunch or dinner anywhere. The accommodation thing is basically matter of luck...
You'll be entitled to staff travel on EY flights right after you graduate.

In the contract it is written that the room in the hotel is to share with another person. No breakfast??
About staff travel: sorry, is it after graduation (end of training) or after 3 months of joining the company???
Will I have unlimited flights when I'll have my staff travel? How much is the discount 10%,20%,30%....? and parents and friends?where can they stay on AUH?
Sorry to bother all of you EY people, but I am sooooo confused and upset: some of you say something others other things, then HR say something else...I don't understand anything!!

Thanks for the heads up! My application went from "applied" to "under review" to nothing, but I have not gotten that rejection email, LOL! So I think I am fine. Maybe I will email them anyway and see if I can get an invite for an assessment day. You are very lucky to have gotten one so early! Good luck!
