2 months...?
Hi there,
Congratulations!!! that you finally got the golden call. So you waited for 2 months...and your DOJ is May 2nd...now I am wondering how long is gonna take in my case? I did my final interview on Jan 31st 08 and this is just the second week...does anybody know if they really take 2 months to give us a call or that defers from one country to the other? Being that said, May 2nd is your DOJ and when would be mine...in June or July? OMG, did you choose the date or they gave that specific date to you?
Anyway, if anyone can answer my questions I really appreciate it a lot.
Best,
Marlon

waiting time
Marlon,... it usually will take 5 weeks on average. So if you are being impatient NOW as it is only 2 weeks,... i cant imagine what you will be like in week 5 or 6. HAHAHAHA.
My waiting time took longer as I told them I won't be available until end of April. That is why they took their time. They give priority to those who are able to leave immediately.
I requested that date to leave, so I am sure you'd be able to leave in March or April. You seem so anxious,... just take a deep breath and remember that if it is meant to be,... it will happen! If not,... keep trying buddy! There are ENDLESS opportunities out there. :-)

Guys, thank you for the encouragment.
Yes it is done by SAAS Atlantic, and they have been recruiting in Indonesia for quite sometimes now.
Can you tell me how to pass the 1st stage since it is conducted by agent?
I am so nervous.
Anyone going for Jakarta?

Question...
Hi all,
I read somewhere in a blog saying that "Once you reached the final interview stage in the selection day, the Recruiter Staff will then mention that you will hear from them in 30 days. This means that you pass the final selection of the Recruitment Department." is this the way how they give you a YES signal? Anyone that got the golden call had the same experience and did they mention that 30 days to you as well?
Thanks for advising. Regards,
Marlon

Checking-In
Hey everyone, just checking in to see how things are on here, looks like I will be seeing a few more of you around Dubai in the next couple of months, welcome on board 
Training is finally coming to an end and my first supy flights are to Dacca & Alexandria - can't wait.
Just to let you know, and I do not know how much there is in this but I was told this during training...if at anytime you display the "Emirates Smile" at your Assessment or Open Day...you are half way there. So...Practice those smiles

roster
Hello,
Can anyone give an roster example ? Some say it hard to work with EK, some are happy. I think giving example of the charge of work can help the joinners (like me) to have an idea.
Thanks

That looks fantastic (the roster). I wonder if new joiners get those cool destinations like Melbourne or Osaka straight away or would we need to fly to near by countries first. Would any one know the answer to that? Im joining on March 21st, so excited.

Beata

roster
The roster that leemarlon has mentioned above is all flights with layovers .. its not always the same.
usually you get a mixture of longhaul- medium and turnaround flights.

Thiruvanthapuram and Chennai are both turnaround flights.
It's a fairly typical roster - well, slightly better than average, (I'd be happy to see that roster, others maybe less so) but it must add up to a lot of hours, probably over 110.
New comers can go anywhere - my first ever flight was to Kuala Lumpur, although your supernumerary flights (2 only) will be turnarounds.
Don't stress too much about having all the medical stuff in order, it does make it a bit more straight forward having it all set, but mots of trainees have to get stuff sorted after they arrive in DXB.

medicals
How strict are EK about the medicals?
Do you really need you to have perfect medical reports and results?
Any stories out there about people getting final approval with not so perfect medical results?
PLZ PLZ some feedback PLZ

Hi,
Open Day is a free access day where everyone can assist and not by invitation. Therefore just get there on time! Be well groomed, prepared, be positive, show your passion and enthusiasm all the time. SMILE of course! Be nice with the people around you, and not make negative comment at no circunstances. Hopefully these tips might help you. Good lucks!!!
Marlon...waiting for the GOLDEN CALL...

Hi,
Even though it says limited places, but if you have done registered your resume on line, that's fine. You don't need any email confirmation or invitation to join the Open Day. I registered my resume on line and went to the Open Day without email confirmation nor invitation. Open Day is unlike Assessment Day which does require invitation only. Don't worry! Just go and do your best!

luky u!!
all the best!!
have great time!!
enjoy every minute of your training and of your stay!!
i just pass the first day interview and tomorrow i've the face to face..
what can you suggest me?
and to those are going attempt the Opend Day i wanna say you:
my enplish is not good (i can understan but when i speak i make many mistakes), i've not experiance as cabin crew; there was a lot of people with a high english nivel a cabin crew experience but then they have been bossy during conversations.
Say what you think one time, it's enough. Be clear and no repeat things.
Smile a lot!! Be nice with everybody, as you always be in your life: be nice with the receptionist, with the waitress, with the cleaning staff.. youe are like in the Big-Brother: don't forget this!!
Be natural, be genuine, be modest!!
Relax, take it easy: it's important for you, but not vital, is it? Think that if you don't relax and get confident with your-self, you won't have the job!!
It's a intensive experience from which you can learn a lot of your self even the answer is negative!! So ask you: What i can improve?????
And then FEEL IT..
Maybe tomorrow they will say that i'm out but i won't mind because i felt so much yesterday.. it has been so amazing.. never had such a pleasant interview!!
Good luck everybody!!
NEVER GIVE UP!!

You seem to have a very nice attitude. You have already mensioned most of the things you should think about.
During your face to face interview just remember to have a warm smile. Keep your answers informative and within the subject. Dont say bad things about your former collegues or employers.
If you have made it to the face to face interview they think your english is on the right level.
Stay positive, know your CV, be natural and try to get some rest before the interview.
Wish you all the best.
Good luck.
