Emirates - Wannabes & Recruitment IV

[maquillage1]

Has anyone ever attended an Open day in Canada? I plan to go to Toronto next month, and I've noticed that their preliminary screenings are done by Konexion. Any info would be lovely.

Emirates uses an angency in cities where the turn out for the interviews is high. It helps them eliminate candidates who do not meet the minimum requirements.
Show up well dressed, smile, be professional and be ready to answer questions like "Why do you think you would be an ideal candidate for the position".
It was a fairly easy step to pass last year. I got cut out throughout the selection process with EK later on during the week. However I'll be trying again in Ottawa next month

Good luck!

What to pack?

Hey guys

This might seem strange but know there are alot of people on here that have been successful and made the move over to Dubai.

I'm in the same position and just wondering what kind of things to pack? Aprt from the obvious clothing etc. anything you guys recommend.

Oh and more importantly considering we get issued with an EK Delsey suitcase, did you bother packing suitcases for the move over, or, did you guys do boxes.

I thought i may ask now and see what you all come up with.

Happy Flying and to those wannabes... Happy Interviewing!

Hi, Gone U/S

Hi there,
Congratulations!!! I was given a cabin crew Linen & starter pack list during the final interview...don't you have one? That paper indicates what Emirates will offer you in the furnished apartment so you don't have to bring anything in there. Cloths, shoes and personal items...that will be all. Remember that you can only carry 50 kgs for baggages. I am still waiting for my Golden Call...btw, I have a question regarding to the DOJ...when did they give you that special date to join? the Golden Call? or after medical results approval?

Cheers!

Hi Marlon

They tell you a preliminary DOJ when you get the Golden call.

Hi how are you doing?, a few days ago I read that emirates will have a couple of open days in Canada soon, does any one know by any chance if emirates will do open days in the US? if so, does anyone know if would happen any time soon?, I´ll be looking forward for your answers.


Thank You

Hey, the trend that I've noticed is that Emirates likes to make an appearance in Canada and the USA every 6 months. So if you know when they were in the USA last, then chances are, they'll be back 6 months from that date. There are plenty of Open Days in Canada this month and next, why not try for one of those? I plan to go to one next month, maybe I'll see you there! Good luck with everything!

Wannabe!!

Hi guys,

I currently work for a low-cost airline in the UK and am thinking about which airline to move on to. Although it's a 3 year contract, Emirates does appeal to me with being based in Dubai.

I'm just wondering about actual monthly pay, and whether accommodation is included, and things like that that they don't tell you until you are already 'in' with them.

PM me if you prefer. Any info is a great help.

Thanks

Hey all

I just registered for anen day near me... I uploaded one passport and one full length picture of myself as required but I was wondering if I should redo them as they are not the best!???? Do they look thoroughly at everything or am I gonna get invited to the open day and then they become strict??? I was thinking that I could get some pictures professionally taken for the open day...or is that too late??

Do most people get to go to the open day or are a lot of people eliminated at this stage already...???

Thanks

[Midadi]

Hi Emirates wont invite you as long as you dont hav eprofessional pictures in your online application! I remember when I had normal pictures attached to it and they did not seem to answer and when I decided to do new ones and which were professional and very very expenisev and see there....2 or 3 days later when uploaded the new pictures I received the invitation from Emirates! Soooo my friend it is worth it to do professional pics! YOu will use them for Emirates and even for you! You will not believe what a professional fotographer can do and how amazing the outcome is!!
So good luck and do your thing! If you need advice PM me! Its my pleasure to help!!!

My medicals will be finished neyt week:-)))) Ok I hope that my teeth will be ok but i think that the doctor would like to earn some extra money by doing some fillings:-(((((( I hat the dentists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dazednconfused]

hi midadi

Hello! tried to PM you but your inbox is full:-)

the pics I have taken are in business attire but you still advise me to get professional ones taken?! Guess I will try to find a photographer....

Do I get an email inviting me to the open day if i am successful?

Also I'm a little confused on what to bring... The website (as far as i recall) state that one should bring and updated CV, full length and passport size photo.. However looking through old posts it seems that one should bring referneces, casual photo's, diplomas etc. is this necessary?

Congratulations on making it and thanks for helping out

[Midadi]

Hi,

you dont need an invitatoion for an Open day but Emirates does recommend to send an online application as it is the easiest way for them to hget bacl to you later etc.

You only need the last mentioned files only if you are successful for final interview! Than you would need one further fulllenght photo in business attire and one causal photo, 4 passport sized photograpgh, passport copies and if you are selected to relocate to Dubai you will have to take 24 more passport photos in sky blue!!! and I also had to bring 2 reference letters with me but some posted that they do not require them anymore so it is better for you to prepare them anyhow.........

last but not least my inbox is no empty and ready to welcome other messages:-) CU

[evogear]

need some advice

Hey guys.... what a cool tips that you guys have been posting out there.

I'm going for Jakarta Open day on March, however i will only be 21 y.o this coming May, will it be a problem?

I really want to join the company.

Cheers..

[Midadi]

evogear! In my opinion go as it sometimes takes more tha three months until they whole procedures have been done for joining! So go for it and they will relize it! Until may it only 2 months if we do not count the short February:-) So it wont be a problem, go for it and do it!!!! It is really easy as long as you are relaxed, very ver yvery and again very confident and friendly and have that special skills they will check by several tasks:-)

Good luck and make sure you will be ready when they come calling!!!

Such a nice feeling to know that they do recruit in Indonesia now ...

As Midadi said, it shouldnt be a problem as the whole process will likely take some few good months. However, my understanding is that the recruitment in Jakarta will initially be done by SAS so I think it would be best to make some enquiries with regards to this matter to them direct.

Goodluck with the whole process and keep up posted!
