Fingers crossed Dubai Soon
Hi WannaWork Up There
I attended the Brisbane Open Recruiting process for Emirates and also did the final interview. I am also staying positive while keeping my options so i wont be too crushed if i dont make it. I havent recieved "the call" yet but i think its way too soon. From what i have found out the medical will include things like chest xray, dental check up- so if you have any cavities go and get them filled lol. Many other general medical things as well. Applicants have been rejected by HR after nine days and still successful after 8 weeks, so it will be a long stomach churning wait. Id love to keep in contact with you. This is my private email:[email protected]. I hope we will soon be working in Dubai together. GOOD LUCK!!

We found eachother lol!
Great to hear from someone else from my group who is in the same boat! Yes the wait won't be fun and hopefully it pays off but ofcourse if for some reason it doesn't go our way, we will be fine!I had a look on here and it seems alot of people waited 2-4 weeks. My mate has a friend who works for Emirates and he found out in 5 weeks. A girl came into my work a week before our open day, she had gotten through the last open day. She found out she had the job in 3 weeks. Lets hope it's on the shorter end for us! What did you mean that HR has rejected people after 9 days and then they got in after 8 weeks?Is your name Clare? I met so many lovely people and mostly only remember the faces, but Clare rings a bell, maybe I spoke to you? My name is Rachelle I have dark blonde hair and am average hieght? best of luck to you in achieving your dreams and maybe we can do dinner in Dubai? Inshallah! xo

Finally YAY
It was great to find someone else who had been through the interview process for me too! I probably do remember you but i also mostly remember faces. Yes my name is Clare, i was in group 4. I had to laugh when you said you were blonde because a lot of people were, i am too. I am actually quite tall, 24, and if it helps the only one their who was married 
. Anyway it will be good to hear from Emirates HR. What i meant in my last post was that by going through forums and speaking to some people i discovered that people have been rejected after nine days but people in the same group have been accepted after nine weeks. Its a bit strange. You have probably got it right though, perhaps around 3-4 weeks. If you need to laugh i heard from a friend whos sister works for Emirates that once someone booked out the entirety of first class for an eagle, thats right an eagle in a cage.
Stay positive one day soom we will have dinner in Dubai together.
الثاني فيترك له حفل عشاء
lets have dinner

Lucky eagle...
Yes I did need a laugh and thats hilarious re the eagle. Some people have too much money! That would have been an easy trip for the first class cabin crew on that flight! Yes I remember you, you said it'd be rediculous if they discounted anyone on the basis of being married. I agree. I wonder if anyone else reading this forum has any info re married people working for Emirates? It shouldn't matter because each person and situation is unique. I have a friend who works for Emirates and he kept sending me emails saying "I strongly urge you to tell a white lie and say youv'e lived and travelled overseas alot or you'll get cut, sorry babe" I told him that i could not lie, and that it sais on the Emirates careers website not to lie or you'll get caught out. He just sent me another email repeating what he'd said! But I never once got asked about travel and never heard anyone else get asked either. But I read something on this chat forum saying that one person on another day got asked about how much travel they had done, so all I can say for people about to go to Emirates Interviews, is I guess what they are looking for could depend on the day, the interviewer and even the country you are from!Take care and stay positive xo

Clarebear, Wannaworkupthere
good to see other aussies here too...
I attended the sydney open day last oct and moving to dubai in 12 days...! I waited just over 4 weeks to receive my "golden call"
Wish both of you all the best with the whole process.. Its hard work getting all the medicals etc done..Im sure both of you will be fine.
I was one of 2 guys at the final interview.. Found it quite funny when you both mentioned blonde girl.. Had someone ask me if I remembered them, but had no idea who they were! Guess it was easier for them as there were only 2 guys left
Keep us updated with the whole process!

Hi everyone. Question for all?
Hi there.
I am emirates hope, i managed till last selections and then i failed.
Now i am on final interview for local Croatia airlines company but Emirates always in my heart and will keep on trying.
My question to all of you who are flying already, working, going to work, quited their emirates dream, planning to, working in any other airlines first then in emirates and so on... my question is:
If i get in Croatia airlines and start work, will that effect as bad influence on my trying and get in Emirates?
Will that low my chances to get hired and to pass on interviews?
If they ask me did i had experience in airlines later and i say yes will that be end of Emirates dream for me?
Pleace advice me what do you think and what will be best to do.
Thank you for you answers....

Hi Clarebear. Traveling is good thing, they want to know is it heavy for you to travel and be far away from your home cause they don't want to hire you and that you quit after two weeks cause you are missing your home.
For many people can be very heavy to apart from their country for longer time. I heard about that on interviews while i was talking with people and recruiters but also it is logic thing to understand.
good luck

Hi guys,
Let me start by saying this forum is fantastic, damn, the support is great, and its very helpful to hear all of your experiences.
So like everyone else I have a question;
I am a guy applying for EK, and was invited for an open day - in the email it says suit and tie - would it be ok to wear black smart jeans with a shirt, tie and blazer? Or are they very strict on this?
Ur help is much appreciated!

Hi wanttoflyhigh
Yes they are strict I would recommend wearing the suit or the blazer with dress pants atleast! Alot of people buy stuff to wear to the interviews. It doesn't have to be expensive, just neat, respectable and stylish. They are fussy they said girls must wear a knee length skirt and skin coloured stockings, though one of thier uniforms for girl is pants, I've seen it. Some girls came with no stockings and it didn't look polished or professional. It is superficial but it is how it is! It even said somewhere on the Emirates site that you must have a clear complexion. For guys I'd recommend not spiking your hair too much or have it too long or shaggy- conservative is key! Best of luck to you!

Well maybe I was lucky I hadn't been asked about travel? Obviously I wouldn't have lied as my silly friend suggested, and I had decided if I was asked that I'd say that I only travelled overseas as a child to London, Paris and Singapore, and I still remember many small details of the experience. And that for many years I was focused on my apprenticeship in hairdressing, but have travelled some of Australia on my own. And that leaving my family and friends is not a problem for me as I've been living completely alone for over 3 years and am very independent and feel I'm completely ready for an experience like this. I am very culturally aware also.But what I did get asked, was why I'd like to work for Emirates, so i said that I've done my hairdessing apprenticeship and worked in the field and that I want to travel now and begin a career where I have the opportunity to work my way up with a great company. Plus I mentioned my living alone, being mature and independent etc...On the third interview got asked to show examples of when a co-worker was incompetent, when a customer complained, when there was an issue between a co-worker and myself. I didn't like talking about the negative side of things, but think I handled it well. Also got asked if I'd ever had a good idea at work that everyone implemented, and what was the nicest thing I'd ever done for anyone at work, so that was better!I believe I did the best I could at the time, and I hope that were impressed and I had what they wanted! Fingers crossed for us...

Dear Kolarevich never give up!
No you do not ever give up your dream. Each individual situation is unique, so don't let anyone discourage you. Keep applying and keep working towards your goal until you get to where you want to be. It's just a learning experience and that can never be a bad thing! Best of luck to you, stay positive, you can do it!

Thank you. Of course i don't give up just like that and i also think that can be just good experience for working in emirates too.
One more thing, i just found out from a friend that working up there now, that i should go again on their open day without waiting for 6 months, it's passed 2 months and i think i should go too, cause she said that no one is waiting for that long, just not to say when they ask you have you been on interviews.
What do you think?

Hmm that's a tough one! If you went to the open day and didn't get through to the second day, you are allowed to go to the next open day any way. If you went to the second interview, that's when you are supposed to wait 6 months. I'm pretty sure they asked people if they had been past the first stage within the last 6 months and everyone was told if they were not honest about it they will find it on the records later anyway, and then your six months waiting will start over again! Maybe they just say that, but you wouldn't want to get caught out would you? All I could think is that you could write to Recruitment with a letter that expresses your absolute desire to do anything you can to work for the company and you may be allowed to have another chance by attending the next open day. You'd be showing initiative!Also if English is your second language you will be asked to do a written english test on the second interview day so be prepared for that too. I am sure with the heartfelt desire you appear to have, you will be very successful in whatever you do! xo

Medical information approved?
My date of joining is 20 February. I sent off all my medical info on 20th December and still haven't had the final OK to resign. I checked a couple of weeks ago and they said to wait for their email and was I still OK to start on the 20th. Is is normal to have to wait so long - does anyone else joing on 20th Feb already have the final OK yet?? Thanks.

Kenya Open Day
Hi guys, I tried out last November and made it thru to the Final Interview. I didn't make it though as I received the rejection email. There's an Open day this Saturday in Nairobi. Even though I was asked to apply after one year, I'm thinking of attending the open day. Can I do this or will I be uneligible due to the fact that they said to try after one year? Thanks in advance for all comments x
