Hey guys, has anyone been offered training dates for 4th, 11th or 18th of October? Also did you get the email for the medical yet?

[cragle]

anyone recieved a call today x

[busygirl]

no. No phone call yet.
Anyone tried to call that number of Celeste? I tried it, but only had the voicemail. Well, I probably called too late, like after office hours. Both times I called was around 5pm there...

[Dyanara]

She's in vacation that's why she's not answering. She'll be back on Sunday :-p

[want_to_fly]

However I have a question, Im trying to update my application on the Etihad careers webpage and it seems the update button is no there anymore? is anyone experiencing this problem? If recruitment is starting again, I need to update my work experience and referees online so I can get ready for the next AD.

Anyone please keen to share?

AD on June~~

Unfortunately.. I didn't get the invitation for AD on June...
but still nothing pop up the EY career website about ADs on July.

anyway..I'd like to know about the AD on June (Athens and Turkey).
Such as... How many people were invited and among them how many people reached to the Final...
How was the interview like? Was it almost same as before?
If you know anything, please share it for all wannabes who are just waiting and preparing for the new AD.....

Thanks~

flying_vicky did you get a shortlisted email from Etihad since you applied, or did you get a 'not shortlisted' email..or anything? or did you just hear nothing?

[prognosis]

Hopefully this is the week it all happens! Best of luck to everyone

updating problem??

anyone experiencing c.c job application update on the etihad careers webpage? seems like the update button is not there anymore anyone care to share? sorry if im being annoying, i just need to change sum info that's on there.

So how's everyone going with the waiting so far? got any good news? good luck to you all

[flying_vicky]

I just didn't hear anything from EY....
I've got only two e-mails - one is welcoming to their career website and the other is about my application is submited. (both of them automatic reply...)

[MCarolina]

Flying Vicky:

So the next step is to wait for another email saying that your application has been shortlisted. Only from this point they will send you an invitation for an AD.
I am sure that there will be more ADs scheduled for 2009, so keep positive!
Good Luck!!

Hey,

Have any of you guys with a start date sent in your medicals yet or actually had been cleared?! I'm waiting for my dentist to get back from holiday, that is all I have left to do but how annoying that he decides to go away now!!

Just to let you know guys that when you do get the call and they ask you to get the medicals done, I have paid Ģ390 for mine and that included the yellow fever jab, xray, blood tests, hearing, sight and the actual examination! The rest of the jabs I have got on the NHS. I didn't think the price was too bad, in fact I was expecting it to be more! I can recommend a company in the UK called Same Day Doctor (have a look at their website) They were brilliant, I got an apointment that day, really friendly people and they have done lots of medicals for middle east airlines so they are familiar with the paperwork!

Just thought I would share that with you UK people as I did find it hard at the start to find a private clinic that would actually do an employment medical!

yes flying vicky, dont expect any invite for AD until you have been shortlisted first. What country did you register that you are in? I applied last summer and only got an invite to AD this summer even though there were loooooads of AD that came and went in the UK while I was waiitng but it was only when an AD came up in my country (ireland) that I was finally shortlisted and then got my invite. So I reckon that they didnt even consider my application until they had decided that they were coming to ireland to recruit and then sifted through all the Ireland applications. If an AD comes up in a country that isnt your own but you are willing to travel to, it might be a good idea to let them know that you are interested in traveling to one and they might then consider your application for whatever AD they are holding.

To Want to fly:
I checked my application on their website, just to check.
I cannot update my application either. Only the password for my workspace..

I donīt know if that is because Iīve been already successful on the AD, or no one can update it at all....?

Maybe once they have more ADs announced you can update again!

I really hope next week will bring some good news for those waiting for THE phone call.

Good luck to everyone no matter on what stage of joining Etihad you are!

danni14 would you be able to give us an exact breakdown of all the medical stuff that you need to do? I presume the blood tests, hearing and sight were part of one "full medical" done by the doctor were they? Is the full medical actually a TOTAL check of everything or do etihad only ask for certain things to be checked? What do they check for in the blood tests? Do they do hormone tests and sexual health screening and all as well? Which vaccinations do you need? Did the jabs make you a little ill afterwards? Whats the visual requirement? I wear glasses for perfect vision and im grand without them but a little blurry at distance..but I cant get contacts for my problem so im concerned about that. What are they looking for in the chest Xray? I have benign harmless breast lumps that im sure will show up...hope they dont mind that either! hahah . If there are problems with the medical results do you have a chance to rectify things and retake them? Sorry for all the questions, I would just like to have a good idea of whats coming next
Thanks a mill!

Medicals in Dubai

Hya,

If anyone is having medicals done in Dubai the Dubai London Clinic are really good. The doctors part costs AED 1200 and the dental part is AED 450. They were really quick for the medical part, Im going to the dentist tonight so I will let you know how it go's. Hopefully I should have everything sent to EY by tomorrow. Im still waiting on blood result but they should be back today.

has anyone else been called?

[barrett1987]

I rang the department that handles medicals/security directly today. I was hoping to do what fingersxd did and get a start date but was unable to get one.

She pulled up my file very quickly and atleast told me that security clearance had been passed and that they would ring with a DOJ when it was my turn. I'm on a list and they are just working down it. It's not my turn yet.

Though she did say within a month easily(as im going to uk on july23rd)


So just gotta wait and keep phone nearby.

[lovelysmile]

Thank you for the info barrett1987, it good to know that nothing has stopped and it is all just a matter of time. Keep it up everyone!
