Emirates - Wannabes & Recruitment V

[Cava Queen]

Hi Chris 87,

Hope you don't mind but can I ask you when you applied to Emirates? I applied on the 4th September and still haven't heard anything. I registered for the Oct 12th AD day too and re-submitted my application.

I'm just surprised as I spent ages on the 'why emirates' question and thought it sounded really good (even though I do say so myself) . I meet all the other criteria as far as I know.

I know they say to wait three months for a response but I would rather be realistic than live in false hope.

Best of luck for you in 10 days time, I hope it goes well.

Hey kids,

I know plenty of people at emirates so I know what to expect. Nice if I get the job if not i'll finish my commerce degree and head overseas when the market picks up.

Good luck to everyone in Melbourne and Perth

I'm off to the Perth one.

If I get lucky awesome...If not then back to commerce lol

Good luck to everyone

Final Interview And Tests

To want to fly and Scotsman

The psychometric and logic tests are done before the final interview. However, I've seen one of my fellow candidates redo this test. The logic/IQ test was part of my personality test. I think only 10-15 questions, I found it very easy.

The reason to re-do the psychometric test could be:
- You answered wrong for one or more of the "killing items".
For example: Do you ever lie?
If the answer is "Yes", it's fine. If the answer is "No" or "not sure", you fail the whole test. The psychometric test contains a couple of killing items.
- You gave too many "not sure" or "maybe" answers, so you couldn't give an answer to the question. As stated before the test, try to avoid the middle answer, use it only 3 times max.

As far as I know, these could be the reasons if your psychometric evalutaion was not acceptable.

If you did poorly on the logic test, you might have to repeat it. Do not hurry, think! I was the last one who submitted this test because I'm sangvinic type and I'm not able to concentrate for a long period of time. As the test was at the end of the day, I was totally exhausted. Take some chocolate and water with you, drink green tea in the morning (rather than coffee).

If you want to prepare fot the IQ test, practise on the internet or buy a Test Book. It takes a little bit of practice but your results will be much better after completing 5-6 tests and you will be much faster. These logic tests are very similar, it's very easy to prepare for them.

For NOT native English speakers: there is an English test as well. If you recently did a language exam, you should be fine. You should know exactly how to solve the exercises (mostly Reading Comprehension) and how to write a one-page-essay. It helps if you practise these exercises. The level of English should be "upper-intermediate" or "advanced" level. (Refer to: Cambridge Language Exams: FCE or CAE.) There is no need to be perfect, you don't need to have a university degree in English Literature to pass that test.

According to the final interview: I know that some people don't make it. The reasons could be varies. Unfortunately, the recruiters cannot give feedback and cannot talk about the recruitment process. Although, one of them gave me an example a long time ago:
The female candidate attended the interview with sunglasses on her head. It's not Emirates standard. They didn't like her shoes either as they were not the pretty high heals. The candidate started to chat and talked too much, she was "too" easy-going. She asked too many questions from the recruiters during the interview, instead of focusing on the scenario questions. Don't forget, you have to talk but you have to listen carefully as well.

You can also fail the final interview if you give a totally wrong answer for one of the scenario questions. There are certain things they need to hear when you answer those questions.

Good luck!

MARI

So Let me go back to what you stated and must say. EK is looking for a great personality, rather than hard-work, intelligent, trustworthy kinda of person.

I know right? LOL . What do you guys think of?

Like Mari said, We are human beings, in which case, we are not perfect, but please be honest at least. Recruiters are human beings as well, so let's HELP each other, please!
EK coming to the America this month. I am absolutely thrilled.

Wish you guys, gals, luck to every stage of this fantastic process and Do it Afraid!

God bless

i had my interview yesterday, tinivel from this forum was there as well.
i guess we're the last ones with the withdrawal concerning this topic...

anyway, i've tried to track down your posts but there's a bunch of new guys here who are doing their Open days for the first time...

long story short, did they call you guys?? yesterday a woman who interviewed me told to tinivel that they should call us within 2 weeks, BUT if they don't that doesn't necessarily mean bad news!

she said that that happens and that in that case you should call them 'cause they definitely have already decided what to do with you in those 2 weeks.
so, you all had your interviews before the two of us and you all, more or less, should have heard from them by now.
if not, call them. they maybe forgot to call you, like she said it possible.

good luck to you all!

final interview

thanks for your replies

I guess if i had done something bad in the final interview they wouldn;t have bothered to give me the test at the end. Anyway I was told from a friend of mine who knows someone on the inside that the reason for the logic test at the end is because you do not score properly on the psychometric test so it is not necessarily a bad thing...at the end of the day they use all the notes they have taken over the interview process and then make their decision. Hopefully i will hear some good news...within 4weeks!! gosh that is gonna seem like forever lol

Anyway all the best to everyone stay positive

[monkey_boi]

nope, still nothing, think i might give them a call tuesday if i dont hear from them, that will be 3 weeks then. Anyone else heard a reply from the London interviews?

Asturiano

Hi Asturiano,

I have difficulty in filling-up the clinical evaluation for the medical check-up. What does clinical evaluation mean? Is the clinical evaluation is different from the tests that we are required to do? How do you fill up your clinical evaluation?

Thanks in advance..

As mentioned in previous posts I went for my re-validation interview in London on the 17th. I know some went on the 15th and still haven't heard. I'm going to wait to see if I hear anything by the end of next week.

I hope we get some news soon, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us all! ;-)

[monkey_boi]

do you think it would be a good idea to call them if you dont hear from them?

[ruukun]

hey guys and girls

ive been o/s and away from any computers for 2 weeks but wanted to know, did they have an OD in sydney in early october? i see melbourne and perth listed for 10/10 but no sydney maybe i missed it or maybe there never was one. cheers

Sydney

Rukuun,

calm down, take a deep breath, it will come!

Everyone is so impatient! Why are you so worried?! They just started to recruit.

The article on Flight Global states that Emirates is getting 14 A380s till the end of next financial year. It's official now. I bet they will go to Sydney at least 3 times in the next 18 months.
