finals

hey there.. best of luck to u... i had my ek interviews in limerick ireland on may 1st and and starting jul 11th... so excited...

with regards to the final interview just relax and be yourself..
i spend hrs looking over questions about why u want to be a ccm or about ek and in the end i wasnt asked any of it.

i had a lovely interviewer and she only asked me all about previous experience. ie. give me an example of a time u showed good leadership skills or a time when u had to make quick decisions.

have lots and lots of examples ready.

i work for an airline already, so im not too sure if i was asked those questions because i know the industry or what.
to be safe learn off both.


remember wear bright red lippy, always great them by name, show lots of teeth and smiles and keep telling them how much u want the job.

best of luck kiddo x

new suit!

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes! Best of luck to all of you as well!

For those of you in Canada, I was looking EVERYWHERE for the perfect business skirt suit and trust me I searched everywhere including Zara, Banana Republic, Mexx, H&M and nothing fit me properly or wasn't what I was looking for...I am smaller than average but not stick thin or petite as I am 5'6" but I do only weigh 110 pounds so my frame is small. I found the perfect suit at TRISTAN...as in Tristan & America. Its absolutely gorgeous, 3/4 length sleeves on the jacket, the skirt is a fitted pencil skirt which ends right below my knees and its a greyish beige sand colour with very fine close together pinstripes which can only really be seen upclose.

I just wanted to give this suggestion of going to Tristan for anybody that was in my position who couldnt find the right suit. Its a bit pricey but definitely worth the money (besides I got mine on sale, paid 170 including taxes). It is a very worthy investment as you will probably wear it again and again being an emirates flight attendant Im sure you will attend many out of work functions where you must look smart.

By the way: My final interview is in 2 days...though I am sooo excited, my heart feels like its going to jump out of my body, Im that nervous!!
I still have yet to buy shoes. So, DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THEY SUPPLY SHOES AS PART OF THE UNIFORM?? OR DO WE HAVE THE OPTION TO WEAR OUR OWN? (spec of course)

[skydoll.6]

Didnt make it :(

Hello Everyone,

I was not successful at the screening day today...I got eliminated after the frist round, it was identical to the last elimination where we were placed into 2 groups and given scenarios. We had to introduce the person to our right then all come up with a new revamped uniform, I think I spoke way too much and voiced my ideas too aggressively. That is the only thing I saw that I did which may have worked against me, but I was never rude or pushy as I agreed with everyone elses opinions too. At the end of the discussion they decided not the change the colours as we first planned to and one of the recruiters saw me kind of say "but how are we revamping if we dont change the colours, then we didnt really cahnge much". Not sure if that ruined it but then we were asked to leave the room and come back in to pick up the letter of "rejection or approval" on the table, I got the rejection one. I was more confused and upset then sad and emotional. I didnt understand how some girls wearing open toed shoes and summer skirts made it through further than I did, Especially after we had a strict briefing of what we should and shouldn't wear.

Final Elimination

Wow, i have to say the calibre of applicants in melb was exceptional- so many ppl got eliminated very quickly, some of tehm really experienced and beautiful flight attendants. im so excited i got to teh last round and when i did i got all emotional ahahaha.
i did the interview, it was quite hard- waiting and waiting for the email- they say it can take up to 6 weeks which SUCKS considering i hate my job and my city and cant wait to go.
i'm a bit worried the interview seemed to focus on the fact that i haven't travelled that much... hope that oesn't work against me.
thanks for all the well wishes guys.
xx

cabin crew wannabe

I'm going for a preliminary selection in two weeks time in S.A and would like to know how am I going to be sreened? What should I bring with me? Please somebody help me!!! Oh would a black suit do the trick?

[meedo12000]

Hey

Hey Emirates girl, you got to the final at melb too. that makes two of us how did you go with final. did you answer the questions. imsure we met but i cant remember all the names. i was the only surviving middle eastern one, (Mohamed) you may remember me or not. but it would be good to keep in contact to follow up on the progress of the applications and hopefully the majority if not all of the melbourne applicants that made it to the final get in.......waiting for youre reply....

regards,

Mohamed Shihata

[meedo12000]

Hey Zinningi,

[pbaby]

I finished F.I yesterday...my interviewers were so nice but quite during the interview... that makes me frustrated......

Melbourne: 21st June

Hey Mohamed,
I remember you- I was in group 4, my name is Jane, I'm from Hobart and we talked about Prison Break and you said you would burn me all the seasons if we both got through!! I'm going to hold you to that!
I did the final interview Monday morning 9am, first up and I thought I went ok- the questions were intense but I had done a lot of preparation and feel I went the best I could. I'm not sure if because I'm from Hobart and only lived/worked in HObart and haven't travelled a lot will work against me as they kept saying how do you know you'll be fine to leave your family, how do you know you like to travel? Also my interview only went for 25-30min?? But I tried my hardest- so proud that I got this far. How did you find the final interview. It was weird my friend Lauren from Hobart did the final itnerview on Monday afternoon and had to do a puzzle test to test her logial vs creative thinking and I didn't have to? Also her interview went for 45 minutes. Not sure what that means...
I have applied for Etihad airlines too, and got shortlisted but I am going to be in Thailand from 30/6-10/7 and can't go to the assessment days.
We should definitely keep in contact, how many of us do you think they will take? gee there was some great people there.
It sucks it takes so long to hear back because I really cant wait to get out of Hobart. Do you have any good alternatives for what you'll do if you don't get into Emirates?
Jane

[skydoll.6]

thanks!

Thanks Kamal, CeonBroughton and Emirates girl (and congratulations for getting that far, u probably made it!!!).

Everyone was so suprised I didnt make it....I seriously dont know why either, I was so prepared. When we were having the group discussion, I had made the most points and suggestions, my friend that was there said I spoke a lot but when I made suggestions, everone was quiet, then it turned into craziness where nobody could get in a word, everyone was speaking over eachother....those recruiters kept writing stuff down as I was speaking...its just they werent following direction quite well and alllll over the place, the goal was to TOTALLY REVAMP the uniform, at first I had reccomend we keep the veil because of the traditional theme that everyone loves but change it to a deep red, everyone agreed but everyone got crazier and kept changing all the time and we ended up with the same old uniform just different coloured blouse and shoes...then i was trying to make a point and just said "how is that revamping if we didnt change barely anything?" The recruiter saw that and marked something. I was thinking "oh ****". But I mean, we were given specific instructions and I was jus reminding them....it was very unorganised and everyone was all over the place. Most of them made it. Is it wrong what I did? I wasnt pushy, i agreed with many of the ideas, but we had no order. It was chaos.

I also have a question. If I am moving to the states, do I still have to wait 6 months to re apply?

[meedo12000]

Hey Jane

Hey there i am happy you replied and yes im still keeping up to my word regarding the p.b series, unfortunately ive been typing all day today at work so its going to be hard for me to type what happend but i could tell you im felling optimistic and i will be patient to wait. wont put in my mind the slightest thought of fail or if fail. lol. anyway it would be good to chat hence to rest my fingers from the keyboard a bit.

below are my email addresses for facebook/msn and main email and if you send youre contact details to my gmail than ill give ya a call to get the p.b saughted out and we could discuss what happened.

Also im trying to get a group organisied for the open day on facebook hence i would need to collect as many people who attened details so we can all discuss what happened over the week.

wishing the best of luck and i hope the majority if not all get in.....relax and im sure youll get the job

Hi,
I feel really bad for you- i know what its like to want to lead the group - especially when no one is talking and i had to really watch myself and what i said on the day. apparently its a pretty much no if you talk more than anyone else even if your being nice and encouraging- they want followers not leaders! i saw that some peopel didn't make very intelligent points but still only made one and made it through! I think disagreeing was probably not a good move- the girl who disagreed in our group was cut out? i didn't agree with some of the groups conclusions but just went with the flow which may have been the difference.

i dont want to bag the emirates recruitment process but was confused as to why ppl got cut or didn't get cut etc. Maybe they just saw a few ideas you said and didn't see where you agreed you just dont know these things. i think you still have to wait 6 months no matter where you apply.
i hope you dont think i am bagging you out or anything- i am reading between the lines, i obviously wasnt there. I'm sure they miss some great great people but thats just the nature of recruitment.......

maybe you should try another airline etihad is recruiting and they fly out of abu dubai i think?

anyways good luck. things happen for a reason- some things just aren't meant to be.... my good friend didn't get in to emirates and was absolutely devastated but looks back now and realises that wasn't meant for her, a few weeks later she met her now husband and is grateful she wasn't leaving for dubai when she met him. think positively. .... you'll make it!!

Question for all who have made final interview

Hi All,

I've been chatting to a few ppl from the group that made it to final interview in Melb 21st June and some people had to do a puzzle test or multiple choice test at the end of the final interview, but some of us didn't?

I didn't have to do one and am worried that it means i didn't pass the final interview or something or didn't pass the psych testing the day before- i was worried about that because i had this huge headache and was struggling to concentrate on the questions-

is there any successful candidates who are up to medicals or final approval for emirates who did not have to do puzzle or multiple choice test after the final interview??? (and no i mean aside from the psych testing 180 questions?)

thanks for the help!!

[applefigher]

i did not take the puzzle or any other test after or during the final interview and i got hired and flying to dubai tomorrow. i heard it was just some random test so take it easy. if you had all your paperwork and pictures and other stuff they require you should hear back from them rather quickly. i heard 15 days later. From my open day to flying to dubai tomorrow it will have been exactly 8 weeks. So it can happen pretty fast.


crossing fingers for you, i know how nerve wrecking it can be waiting as i would got sad, depressed, excited, nervous all in one.
