Welcome ! you don't need an invitation to go to the interview as it is a preselection done by recruitment company and they decide who gets to meet Emirates about a week later so plan to come back to vancouver or staying there for at least 15 days ! When you go on the recruitment site for emirates there is a link to the recruitment agency when you click on the date.
Good Luck

Attending Open Day next month
Hi everyone, I will be attending emirates open day next month, I'm scared as HELL! I was wondering, on the Open Day, do they check your height?
and what is the difference between the Open Day and the Assessment Day?

Another Question.
If I attend the open day and I'm successful and I have to attend an assessment day, how many days after do I have to wait for the assessment day.
Because I will be flying overseas to attend the open day and I would like to know how much days to fly overseas for. I don't want to stay away from my job too long.

Medicals officially SUCK part 2
I am so angry..... I have spent about £1000 on my medicals so far. I have been passed from pillar to post for everything. And the Doctors and Nurses have no idea what to do. Was supposed to see nurse for all of my vaccinations today but she informed she has to order them in which will take a week and I cannot have them all done at once.....this is strange since I gave them all the info about a week and half ago!!! Which is no help coz I have got to send all the information off tomorrow!!
Pinkylicious - We dont get reimbursed the costs of the medicals!!!! Shocking I know!
Donisha - An open day is where anyone can attend.....you get general information about Emirates and the job and you are invited to hand in your CV's and you maybe be asked to do a reach test at this point as well and then you will be sent on your way......They may ask you to come back for an assessment day which will be whenever the next is scheduled or you maybe asked to meet them for an interview....I dont know how long you will have to wait. If not many people turn up for an open day it may turn into an assessment day (this is what happened at mine in Glasgow).
An assessment you must have an invitation from Emirates to attend. This is where they will do several group scenarios and discussions...I made a really detailed post about everything that happened on the assessment day on page 23 of this forum for you and anyone else in your position. You should find it useful. Good Luck!!
If you have to travel a long way to get to a place where they hold open/assessment day I would submit your online application a couple of weeks before and maybe send an email to their help desk saying you live a long way from that place but you would like to attend and would they consider you. Save yourself some time and money.....I wouldnt travel a long way for an open day.....try for an assessment day.
ChinoA - Definitely dont give up....you know what the whole process is about so next time you will be a pro!!
Dubai Bound - Congrats!! It so unreal when you get the call!! See you in Dubai!!
Flying Princess 116 - My DOJ is 13th Feb.....Im flying from Manchester but did you have the interviews back in November at the Marriott....That s where I was!!
Those of you still waiting....Im crossing my fingers for you!!

Chino, I'm also sorry to hear that. Keep on trying and use these 6 months to improve whatever you need to improve.
Dubaibound, congratulations!
And all the others waiting, stay positive!
Now, me, running here with the medicals. I've been to 2 international clinics in Tokyo and decided to do all (except dentals) at Tokyo British Clinic at the cost of 62,000 JPY. I think I will take the shots in DXB, as I would spend about 120,000 JPY in vaccinations here
Will go to a dentist tomorrow and check out how much the dentals would cost me.

frustrated & disappointed :(
So I went for my second open day today. Alot of people turned up so this time they did just the Emirates orientation and a short questionnaire with one of the two recruiters.
They asked questions like "what are you doing for work at the moment" and then asking questions about your job. That was all. We were then told that we would receive a phone call today by a certain time if we had progressed to tomorrow's interviews. It was very different to my previous interview, and they didn't do the height check? However there were the Emirates height markers on the wall.
Well I have studied, studied, studied for this time around. The answers I had prepared were great, but I didn't even have a chance to say them. I looked perfection. Perfect make up, hair, skirt suit, polished shoes, no extra jewelry (just small pearls and watch), stockings. I smiled lots during my time, but not too much that it was too much, and she was smiling back too. I didnt answer my questions too long, just what she asked. I never spoke during the orientation, only giggled and smiled. I am not ugly, I am not fat, I do not smell too if you are wondering!!!!
I really do not understand why I didn't get through? I am so disappointed I'm not sure if I can go through it again?
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I just do not understand their criteria?

Medicals...arghhhh!!
Guys, I made the quick decision of flying to my home country which is Sri Lanka to do my medicals..
I live in Rome and it's crazy, being in Europe there is not a SINGLE place where i can finish off my medicals within 2 weeks, obtain results and getting them translated from italian to english...
So thought of flying to Colombo and getting them done in ONE day and ALL results will be in ENGLISH....
damn i'm flying tomorrow..i'll be soo busy...
Anyways good luck to all ppl who are waiting for their golden call and who are already doing their medicals!!

internet down in the Middle East
Anyone that has been waiting and wondering I got hired after waiting eight weeks and that was three days ago. There are still 5 people from my final interview that have not found anything out yet. I did get an email in my seventh week telling me I would not be eligible for the position if I didn’t email them my pictures and required documents. The thing is that I sent them twice and noone ever responded to say they relieved it even though I asked that they would. Apparently from what my recruiter told me, they found them and is not sure why she was told I never sent them. My friend who lives in Egypt told me that the internet was down in most of the middle east for over two weeks about a month ago and the recruiter confirmed that when I asked her. So,……that being said …If you are waiting 6 weeks, call them immediately, if you have been waiting longer after you already hit the 6 week mark then you should try again. If you have any doubts they received your email with your info no matter how long you have been waiting, then I would advise giving them a call. Just confirm that they have your info and don’t let them hang up until they say yes we have it. Don’t settle for ,”We will contact you if we didn’t receive it”. Good Luck to you all and let me know if anyone gets a DOJ on March 6th. That is when mine is.

I hate to say it but I think yourfather was probably right about the recruiters. They go through so many people and make strange decisions sometimes. As much as it sucks to wait another 6 months to go through this again, just remember, most people that work for emirates had to go to several of these things. If you really want it then be persistant. I don’t think you did anything wrong and I understand why you are upset. Just know a lot of people make errors but they tend to to corret their mistakes eventually. Keep up hope.. What is you prior professional experience.. if I might ask?

Medicals officially SUCK part 3
Well guys I think Im officially done with the medicals....just sent everything off now!! I hope they get back to me ASAP to let me know evrything is goord
Yourfather- I dont think that is the case at all. Why would a company spend so much money recruiting all over the world and it be a lengthy process....I dont think its fair to say that. Why go through the hassle of having people waiting for an answer.......emailing with questions. If that was the case they would just recruit in their own country if they werent really that bothered.
I think rather than them selecting at random I think you do have to try and make an impression straight away. There were plenty of people on my open day who were really good but just didnt get the chance to speak....I think this is why good people for the job can sometimes be unnoticed.
Hopetofly - There is an email somewhere on the careers section of Emirates Website but Im not sure who you need to contact if you have gone through an agency as I went directly through Emirates and their websites. I think, from the posts I have read on here, its better to deal directly with Emirates. A lot of people seem to have issues and dont know information if they go through an agency.
Lia Kohl - Thats a real good price...I have paid nearly double that!! By the way I ll add you after this post on FB!!
Well guys I hope they email me a confirmation to say they have received all my stuff. Anyone else doing medicals......did they do you your dental or chest x-rays on film? At the places I had them done they dont use film anymore and either gave them to me on a disc or emailed them to me....let me know!
Til next time guys.....x

BlueSkySid - I can't make the Melbourne open day in Feb as I'll be in India :-(
I went to the Oct and Dec 08 ones, and was hoping for third time lucky! Luckily, they seem to be coming here every 2-3 months, so not too long to wait for my next try I guess!

Hi there,
I am pretty sure you need to wait 6 months before you can re-apply again or 1 year if you failed the final. They can find out if you went for another inteview before the panalty time so you will not be accepted anyway.
