Melbourne Assessment Day
Hello all... Anyone else here planning to go the assessment day in Melbourne? According to the EY site, the date(s) for Melbourne are (Thursday) 3rd July - (Saturday) 5th July and hence the process runs for three (3) days. Is this correct?
AustraliaMe;bourne | Perth8:30 am03-05.07.08
What is the situation if someone is unsuccesful? What is the requisite waiting period before reapplying? Hypothetically speaking, could somebody attend in Brisbane and then if unsuccesful attend in Melbourne (provided they can score an invite)?

Hello pjcarr
Regarding your questions:
First i will tell you something more about this little test. It involves psychology because they (EY) look at the way you talk, the way you seat, the way you speak, all of your gestures even the way you leave.so take great care of how you put your hands it is better to put them on your knees. cause if you keep them crossed to your chest is like you are protecting something.....anyway read some psychology just few aspects about gestures interpretation issues, you can find them if you search the web.
As for what to chose i would go for the bottle of watter as is a key element for surviving and also is flexible and you can change it form....there are different aspects here.
Coming now to the question after how long? It clearly states at the interview that you can reapply after 6 (six) months.
Regards and Good luck!

questions regarding assessment day.
Hey all,
Ok, so my assessment day is coming closer.. Only a week to go and I will leave my home country on Saturday to go there so really need everything sorted before then..
-How long should my CV be? someone said 2 pages but I am not sure if its ok if its longer?! Should I attach a cover letter?
-I've got a skirt and a suit jacket ready but do I have to wear a shirt or is a top also ok?
-Does anyone have an idea how many people get invited for an assessment day?
I am constantly thinking about how to make myself noticed in a good way as to make the first cut.....as I always get so extremely nervous in the beginning....Guess there's nothing to do but smile and try to stay calm!!

Hi
Regarding your Curriculum Vitae, it is ok to have 2 pages do not worry to mych about that try to mage it as simple as possible for more info and help try searching Google for Eures is the European Union Type of CV so it will help you very much you just fill the spaces and the cv is ready you just hav eto save it. I did that for my own CV and it went fine.
As for your appearance try to look as profesional as you can, that is business suit and pants usualy people chose black or blue, simple shoes, nice shirt with tie, fresh shave and fresc hair cut, and do not forget always smile. And be cool do not get nervous it will show, in that case just excuse your self and give the emotions reason.
I do not know how many will come up at the asesment day but it can varry from 10 or 20 to probably 100 it really depends on the location and on many other factors.
Read my posts you will find all the info you need!!

Whilst I recognise that this is getting into semantics squirly, but would you suggest/recommend for a guy to wear a more neutral shirt/tie combination (i.e. black shirt with plain tie, white shirt with plain tie) or something a little bit more eye catching?
On a different note, does the process (assessment day, group session, interview, etc.) take one (1) day or does it last over three (3) days? In other words, is there any chance that you can explain why the assessment day in Melbourne Australia is listed over three (3) days?

Hi,
I underline!!!
Cabin Crew are Etihad’s prime ambassadors in the eye of our guests.
So we have to behave and look like professionals and trust me and take my advice, business attire is recomended and also advised by them.
So eye catching will get you in trouble if you know what i mean, if you dres like that they will have to check you like hell and will have higher standards.
As for the interview it lasts only one day from 8:30 AM til 18:30 PM with lunch payed by them around 12.
There will be 3 days of interviews because of so many candidates .
Regards

Interview Questions
Hello all...
Re the initial 1 on 1 interview, how long approximately does it take? Do they ask you questions unilateraly or is there time at the end to ask them questions?
What sort of answers are they after - i.e. the usual "i love to fly", "i want to travel", "i like helping people", or something more elaborate and detailed? Any comments or suggestions re suggested / proposed / recommended responses to their questions?
How about questions to ask them the recruiters at the end (if applicable)?
On a slightly different note, would/does it matter if the suit worn was a light brown (naturally stylish) as opposed to a navy/black pinstripe ?

During the first 1 to 1 interview they're asking you very basic questions like "why did you applied for the job?", "what attracts you the most being a CC?", "Have you had any service related job(s) so far?"
"What can you add as a special value to the job?" etc...
90 % of the people are answering the same: "I like to travel", "I'm interested in the arabic culture", "I like to fly" , "I like giving service"....
As far as I remember, I gave answers like: "I am a very social person, I like meeting new ppl, communicate and discover not only one culture, but more than 200", "I flew a lot and always wanted to be a flight attendant", "Moving to a place like Abu Dhabi would be a dream, as it is one of the fastest growing city in the world." etc etc... You can come up with some other ones, just use your imagination
This interview is very short, takes like 2 minutes or less, then it comes to the "pick an item" thing
The interview at the end is more focused on the CC job itself. I was asked about different situations, like:
"What would you do if you'd accidentally pour some wine on one of the passanger's lap?"
"Have you had any experience in getting a bad service?"
"What would you say to your roomie in your crew accomodation if she wants to invite her friends over and have a little party, but you're too tired and want to sleep?"
And yes, during the final interview you can ask your questions if you have.
That's all I remember
Good luck and don't worry

Income from EY
Hi all,
I note that on the EY web site (http://careers.etihadairways.com/ehi...obDetails.aspx), the remuneration is described as consisting of the following:
Is there anyone here who can advise what a "typical" number of layovers is on any given month (say averaged over 12 months) and hence the monthly income one can expect based on layover income?
Based on all of this, what is the "typical"/"usual" remuneration that one can expect in the first twelve (12) months with EY taking into account ALL aspects of remuneration?
Thanks heaps all.
I note that on the EY web site (http://careers.etihadairways.com/ehi...obDetails.aspx), the remuneration is described as consisting of the following:
- Basic Salary Range: AED 3,020 to AED 3,250 per month based on seniority
- Duty Day Payment Range: AED 210 per duty day worked
- Layover Allowance Range: AED 288 to AED 384 per day. This amount is regionally based and varies according to individual rosters
Is there anyone here who can advise what a "typical" number of layovers is on any given month (say averaged over 12 months) and hence the monthly income one can expect based on layover income?

Medical Conditions
What is the situation in regard to individuals who are diagnosed with mild narcolepsy and prescribed Ritalin for its management? Naturally if the GP does not disclose this in the medical then it may be a non-issue, however what if they do? Is this, by and of itself something that could be prohibitive to someone gaining employment as a CC for EY?
Any suggestions/comments/recommendations with how to manage this situation?
