Oxaliza
Hey Oxaliza!! No I haven't heard anything either, I really want to know running out of things to take my mind off it now, all I keep thinking about is is it a yes or a no. At least on here there's a few of us in the same boat! When did you say to them that you could start? Hope you had a nice new year! x

Hi there, thank you for reply back and support me. I told them that I need to give 4 weeks notice as well. But one gal from the group got call on 25th Dec and she told them the same thing as mine. Then because they call her earlier then we expect so she still let the HR ppl know that she needs to give 4 weeks notice to her current employer plus time to prepare herself regarding personal thing as well, so she told me that still be a couple months that she needs. That's mean she asked EK to delay her DOJ.
Well, it could be because it's New Year time and I think it was a public holiday for ppl who workin in the office, I'm pretty sure it is a publice holiday in Dubai. And as all we are, having a family party, holiday time as well because their weekend is Fri and Sat so it's 3 days off from work. Let's see next week. We still at the beginning of the time frame for what we are given 4-6 weeks. How is your FI? Have you check it out the Airboy website. I have found it is really helpful. We will make it!

remember,
When you get the "golden call" the guy tells you that you cant resign from your current employer untill they clear you medically fit! He asks you how much notice you have to give then he gives you a DOJ. Taking into account your 2+ weeks it takes to get them your medicals plus another 4 weeks as notice period..
Oxaliza_Oxen... I love batemans bay.. got so burnt there a few years back! And yes Impatient at the best of times!

Photographs?
Earlier someone mentioned in the final stages you are to provide 2 social photographs of yourself. Does anyone have any idea what they mean by 'social' and also what clothes I should be wearing in the social photographs?
A letter of employment is required too... is this just a letter from your current boss confirming that you work for them?
Thanks!

Hi there,
about the 2 casual photos, they want the photo that can see you face in any activity that you were doin, i think they want to see more about your life as a normal day not in the form of interview thing..
I bring 5-6 photos for them to choose anyway, it won't hurt.
and it's all myself as the way I am. So I have no problem of run to get the photos done for the next day FI. I like taking the photograph so my camera is most of the time is with me. Those photos that they picked were 2, one is my photo full face when it was the first time I was going for 4WD driving (I'm a bit of adventurous gal)
so I looked so happy and full of excitment on my face (that's why they took it!! I think) ha ha
Another one, they took my almost full lenght photos it was my first time Paris with the TOWERS. I think they just want to see more of who you are that's all so if you be youself at the interview and you are genuine, the personality test and yourself will match and you will not have a problem.

letter of employment
only if you are working at the moment but a copied of your Staff ID will be fine. but if you are unemploy at the moment let's them know. They are there to help you. They are really helpful.
for the letter, just only say you are working in position of the company at the moment since when and that's will be ok. Don't worry, let's them know your situation at the interview day. I think must be on the 2nd day before the FI. They will have the idea for you. Because some company have policy not to give out the letter with the company letter head at all.. The recruiters were really helpful to me and accept a copied of staff id from me. You will be fine.

Second Time Around
Also, this will be my second interview - I got knocked out on the first round, so am reapplying (I think I was too loud). Should I mark that this is my 2nd time? Or say first? I know it shows commitment that I am returning, but I worry that they look up why they said no last time and then say no to me again?
Thanks
Thanks

Hi gal,
for all the resume we gave them, all will be kept in the file and if you failed the 1st round you can reapply again after 6 months of that day. If you failed the final you need to wait till 1 year to be able to reapply again. They keep your file and they know whether you follow the rule, if you failed last time and reapply before the penalty time say so and you make it this time to the final, you will got a call from HR ppl to tell you that you being succeed but they can't take you because of the penalty time still valid.
Yeb, if this is 2nd time for you for the open day (again) it counts as 2nd time. And they will not ask you why you failed 1st time, remember they don't give you the feedback so how would you be able to know why you didn't make it, right?
But they might ask you why you left you job, this will be when you in FI. Anything else? I'm happy to help wherever I can.

No Flight Attendant Experience
Also, what are the chances if you don't have any flight attendant experience?
I know customer service counts and I have about 13 months experience in that area (fashion retail), and in my current job it is part of it but only a small section. Is that enough? I have reworded my resume to emphasise the customer service and negotiation skills in my current position.
Another question...sorry
... my weight is JUST over the healthy BMI range. In no way am I overweight, or look remotely unhealthy, just a 'little' on the chubby side I guess (Big boobs, hips & upper thighs). I am a 10 to 12 UK or 12 to 14 Australian. Do you think this might hinder my chances?
Thanks everyone, this site has answered so many of my questions!! Very grateful.
