ChinoA - Sorry to hear that you didn't get it, THIS time. I know it's hard, but keep positive and keep in mind that everything what happens is for the best. If you truly want this job, then apply with another airline or wait to apply again for Emirates. It's just part of your experience.

Almost 5 weeks...
... from my FI in Osaka and still no call.
ChinoA. I'm really sorry to hear that you've failed. Try again, because you are "brasileiro e não desisto nunca"
(I'm Brazilian and will never give up)
Anyhow, if you really want to join EK, try a second time would be good and I believe you could be less nervous as you already knows how it works. If you speake Spanish, why not try in BUE next time (if you can)?
Well, wishin you all a happy new year and that we all realize in 2009 our wish: join EK!

Hi there, have you got the call yet? I would rather say as long as you haven't heard any officially contact from EK, please not to worry. I understand how you feel. And I have seen lots of ppl who been waiting for the call got frustrated and getting depress about it. I know it's easy to say, but if we believe everything is all about our mind. We all have 100% of power to control our mind and we must look after ourselves first. Be healthy is the most important thing.
As far as I know from the other ppl on this forum, we need to go for the medical check up which is require a lot of thing, now we need to look after ourselves first. I know Emirates is one of the best company to work with. But to be able to work up there 35,000ft or more (a bit more), we need to be very fit and healthy. It would be sad if you got the "call" then couldn't get right through because of the health issues.
When I was working with the other airline, during trainning, we had this one little nice girl from Asia who can speak 4 languages. She got there to the country (Middle East) to start to do the medical check up, oh before anything...this airline will do the medical check up for you but very tough though, some of the gal had some medical done in their country before came to the country but they couldn't make it through their standard so those gals had to go back home...
So let's imagine, after at least 10hrs or more of travelling (plus packing the suitcases) then just within 2-3 days, they sent them back home.
Well, my idea now is we better look after our mind and health first. It will be fine. There are a lot of oppoturnities out there for everyone.
I am one who are waiting for them to contact me as well, and during this time I'm enjoying to follow up what ppl say their opinion in this forum. Thank you for this guys!!
I still have my facial mask on my face in the mean time.. so it won't hurt, right?
I hope this will make you and anyone who are waiting for the "call", feeling better. Best of luck and best wishes guys. Happy New Year 2009 for the great successful year to everyone!!!

hey thanks for the nice words. my story here is i found out from the agency who works with emirates that im not on the list of who were recruited. that was 2 weeks ago and till now nothing from them yet. so i have a small chance here but still hoping and wodering whats going on. some already got their NO email and they can let someone wait for long for nothing! i might end up like that as well. so i really dunno. this is my dream job and i already accepted that they didnt select me but also looking for a bright side here. if it is a NO, i'll take it as it is and try again.maybe their considering and they couldnt make up their mind. i wouldnt think of this right now and enjoy my new yr instead! good luck to everyone who is waiting and BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR!
YEAR OF THE OX IS COMING! anyone here who is born 1985?? this is our year!!!!! HAVE FUN and congrats to everyone who got their golden call! this is a goodtime to party for u guys

Guess what??
Hi everyone,
Paris Hilton is in SYD!!! No, not a fan of her at all but it reminded me where I had an assessment day! Hilton Hotel. ??? is it relevant to this forum?? Sorry guys, I just want to make everyone feel bit more relax and enjoy your NYE-New Year Eve. And definitely she got more attention from Sydney ppl from the Firework tonight!! LOL
sarahbusta let's me share this with you... beginng of 2006 I failed the interview with one of the airline (middle east), feeling.., what was goin wrong? why didn't I make it? during those year.. I worked in the restaurant, was goin to get promote to be a front of house manager, I said no but requested the company to move me to work at the airport, that time I thought (after I failed the first interview) at least I can feel the asmosphere of aviation and cabin crew from around the world.
I have to say at one state, I have changed my mind of being a flight attendant. Then unexpectly lost the job so I was looking for the job but didn't know why I couldn't get any call.
I decided to update my profile (on line application) then one day I got responsed for the interview. And Guess what? One of the recruiter was the same person when I failed the interview, and my feeling was so good to see her again (instead of get scared she might fail me again), I even remembered her name and said hi to her. I was really relax and I didn't put much of expectation, just thought of doing my best and be myself. Yeb, I got the job at that time 2006 but 6-7 months later though. I worked for a year then I resigned coz I want to completed my study and it was a right decision I made.
Now, I can say all the experiences working for the airline it helps me to be very realistic about this job. It is really stressful job but it's rewarding for life experiences and we need to try to be relax as much as we can. And as you have heard a lot of ppl say the best you just be yourself.. that is the most truthful.
You will be working with ppl from all around the world and not only you passengers but also your colleages, different culture, belief, etc...
Something that they think it is polite to do so might be rude in our way. Interesting, isn't it?

wow that is really interesting. it pays to wait and just relax and the important thing is to always stay positive no matter what. this is my 3rd time trying to emirates and this is my first time making it to the FI. to be honest i looked nervous and all i know im disappointed to myself and maybe the recruiters as well because they told me i did a very good job on group discussions and everything. if i nail my FI i could've got the call earlier... i have situation issues here and a call from emirates can actually set me free. but i dunno...if its meant for u, it will happen...if its not, something better will come. like ur situation oxen, uve waited and tried again then u got the job. thats a good story and thanks for sharing it with us

hi, my friend is working for EY-Etihad. We worked together from previous airline. We both resigned pretty much the same time, now she works with EY and got promote to work only J and F class already. They are pretty good as well. She flown in on the 6th dec in SYD and had 48 hrs layover. Of course, we catched up and talked about life as a cabin crew. The main thing to consider is the crew that you work with, you don't want to work with those ppl who have attitude and it will drive you mad, let's say it will create a unpleasant work environment on board. To deal with flight delay, time zones, catering mistaken, sometime you might accidently drop the special meal that have been requested...oh all the stressful situation, then if we have to put up with crew who have attitude..oh that's the worse block ever!! So you can have a look at Etihad website, they are pretty good pay but still a young airline with the good credit of fast growing airline in UAE. They based in AUH-Abu Dha bi the capital city of UAE. If you know a bit about Australia.. let's say.. AUH is Canberra and DXB-Dubai is Sydney. Yes, that's the way. it's about 45mins or 1hr by car between town city. I got email back from them to be in shortlist within 5 hrs, so impressive work. But I wasn't ready to go for the interview, it was a very short notice for me. They are looking for a lot of new crew coz they have ordered lots of new AC as well.
Sorry for another long messages, hope this will help you have a look at the brighten side of life.
Everyone got a problem more or less, I have practice to put the problem on aside and learn to focus on one thing at the time..
You can try to by doing small little thing e.g. having a cup of coffee and focus on the smell of the coffee, the taste of it..without letting anything interfere your mind. I know it sounds funny but it will help you practice to be mindfulness and then you will have the skills to put thing that worry you on aside. Remember.. you have planty of time to worry about those unneccesary thing why would you spend the preciouse time that you have at the moment with those unneccesary thing!!
Let's get ready for the nice dinner tonight, go to Charm (maybe now they have a better place to go-bit behind ha ha) and let's celebrate the night of the light on Orchard Rd. YeHhhhhh!!! Keep me posted!!

Ha ha, thanks for that!! It's been almost 2 years since last visit. You will gain more confidence with the experience, coz that will help you what you really want to do for your life and as we know how many times we hace changed our mind, also our personality as well.
As I did, I resigned because I was wondering what I could have done better if I got my degree. And yes, I'm working for a good company here, it's a office work, good pay but I know now I love to work as a cabin crew. I love the job (cabin crew), it's the best to do (work) what you love to do. You wouldn't feel that's a work to do, but more enjoy as you live everyday life. Ok then, gotta go to. I cook my dinner tonight, no party coz tomorrow we will go to the beach in South coast NSW. about 1-2 hrs drive from SYD. You have a great New Year!!

Hi there, congratulation. how long for them to contact you since the day of FI? Now it's 3 weeks for me.
and how about your FI? mind was 15-20 mins. the recruiter kept saying "that's very good, that's good.." so what is that meant something, right?

Congrats Nakks...
Good work! When is your DOJ again? I think you were on the 23JAN with me, but im now on the 30JAN..
I am indeed a 1985 baby so this will be my year! Im a taurus too so double the cow!!! hehehe...
Oxaliza_Oxen, Syd_DXB the place is called Immex & its at Green square in Mascot near the Airport.
IMMEX - Occupational medicine and treatment of workplace injuries and prevention services
I was lucky to get a dr referal for the chest xray from them so saved some money. Private health cover does reduce costs when you do your dental. However all the other costs isnt covered because its a pre employment medical and there is technicaly nothing wrong with you...
So be prepared to fork out 400 for the medicals alone. And that doesnt include your shots.. Im getting mine done when i get there..
Hope you had a good NYE over in SYD. I got burnt to a crisp on the beach here in CPT whooo
