To do list
Let us start from the begining:
You dream of becoming a CC for etihad airways, here is what you do:
1 Step one
Regardless of what country you come from, there are 2 possibilities of applying for a job at EY: first by applying online your aplication that you find in their career website, or secondly through an agency that recruits for EY.
I will explaind the online aplication now:
Try to be as accurate as posible with everithing you write in there because they will check, trust me, especially they are interested in the experience you had before with customers so try to make your curicculum around this fact.
For the pictures,....business attire is a must. For all out there trying do their own photos just go to a profesional photographer they know what to do....and it worth the money,...and yes smile smile and smile again is very important.
2 Step two
After submiting, you will receive an email stateing that your application was submitted and if you are selected you will receive an email stateing :
"Thank you for your recent application regards career opportunities with Etihad Airways."
This email notifies you that an interview is near you and it asks if you want to join to confirm. Upon confirmation an invite will be sent to you via email that you have to print and take it with you to the interview.
3 Step three
Attending the interview.
Here i will take the time to go in details the next post.
I will just state that and pass to the next step just to keep the flow of events.
4 Step four
After attending interview, and being selected you will receive an email that states:
"Thank you for participating in the Etihad Airways Cabin Crew assessment day.
At this point, we are happy to inform you that we will continue to process your application for all the necessary clearances and approvals.
Because we are not presently offering you employment, do not resign from your current job until you have received, reviewed, signed, and returned an offer of employment to Etihad Airways.
Thank you for your interest in Etihad, and please feel free to email us if you have not heard back from us three weeks after you’ve sent your required information."
This means you are in!!! Guys, but there are posibilities that you get rejected for no reasons as it hapened before to some of you in here.
5 Step five
After some time, it depends, how long, on the people there at Human resources that are all the time very busy you will get an email that informs you to start your medicals. At this state someone will call you or email you about this fact.
Now this is quite important to do also for your own safety because are basic procedures that you can undertake even prior to the interview or after, just to save time, cause you will go through hell to do them in 2 or 3 days if you will be called imediately.
The vaccinations. Here it goes: Please understand
My family works in the hospital, so do not do them at the same time. Those things you put into you are viruses in the inactive state so your bodies will produce anticorpes to defend against so more vaccines, more problems, take it one at a time it is better that you do the combined ones for example: The twinrix is for hepatitis A and B and some others like the ones for Polio, Dyphteria and Tetanus are all in one to be found in the pharmacy.
So take at least 2 weeks to do them, but do not worry if you did not found some. The doctors at the medical center in Abu Dhabi will do them upon arrival.
So keep in mind, if you are a perfectionist like me,and want do do them by yourself it takes some time.
6 Step six
After the medicals, send the 4sheets of paper scaned at the email proivided by them.
Shortly after that the HRessources will inform you about your joining date and send the pre contract via email to be signed scaned and sent back.
7 Step seven
After sending the contract signed another email will inform you about details of your accomodation visa and flight to Abu Dhabi.
Conclusions from here all is simple you just go and fulfill your dreams!!!
Keep it real guys and good luck!!!
For questions please email me or PM.
Glad to be of help

Lili it depends if your family is living with you or in another country.
I know people married with kids, doing longhaul and they are happy. There are CC doing short and every night are home and they are happy...so it depends....
If you live in AUH and your family in another country it could be hard but you can see them once a month for 1 year or some months.....after you get your experience you go back.

I am re posting my earlier recount of a very pleasant flight from Singapore to Brisbane today, which has been deleted for unknown reasons by the moderator I guess? It goes something like this:
Mrs Hot Dog and I travelled on EY470 from beautiful Singapore Changi Airport to grotty Brisbane International this morning. Girls and boys, you will enjoy working in your new environment with Etihad if you make it. We had a superb flight in Economy on the A330, with superb IFE (seatback screen as big as other carrier's Businees or First class products). Plenty of leg room, beautiful cabin crew in spite of a rather plain but very neat business attire uniforms. Good food, free alcohol and great service from an obviously well selected and trained cabin staff. I try and avoid economy class travel usually but I wouldn't hesitate to fly economy again on Etihad. Have fun guys, enjoy. Cheers, HD,
Moderator please note, this is not an advertisement for Etihad with whom I have no connection whatsoever. I am merely praising a good operation from first hand experience.
