Hey,
I applied last sunday online and had a call the day after. Half my family live in Dubai and i know a few people who work for Emirates so they sent my reference number to the HR manager and then it was sent to the UK.... but I have not had an email yet so I wouldnt worry... i'm sure you will get one soon! When did you apply?

Hi guys,
Hope ur all doing good, not stressing too much bout your replies from EK, even though I now Know what they mean about the waiting game being... beep! It sucks!
So I guess I have another question... How strict are EK on eyesight? I know its part odf your medicals but do anyone know whats the max / min they will tolerate if your wear contacts??
Your help will be much appreciated!

Hello I went to my 3 interviews with Emirates and its my 14th day of waiting for the golden call. I wake in the morning thinking about Emirates!I've heard it can really depend on the day how long the process takes. My open day started at 9, I'd arrived before 8 (incase there was traffic had to be early!) and there were 180 people approx there. We just had an information session and then saw the interviewers for around 2 mins one by one. So each of the two interviewers had to see 90 people approx each. I was about tenth in line and got out at 11:45. They called me back at 2:00 for the 2nd interview the following day, so they had seen everyone by that time. The second interview went from 9 till 5. Third interview was just 45mins approx but they were running half an hour late. I'm in Brisbane but my mate who works for Emirates is from Melbourne and said 450 people were at his open day and they just lined up all day long! Another girl who works for Emirates from Perth said that there were only 70 at hers. Other people have said that thier interview days went till late at night and I've also heard that the process can be different in other countries. So my point is that I think you should keep your whole day free just incase cos you never know. I don't drive and live a fair way from the place my interview was and my poor auntie waited for me each time! I wish I'd found this site before I went to my interviews as you can find alot out on here. Anyway best of luck to you!

Hi jessi,
I went to the last Sydney one and one of the girls did the same thing as you except she came from Melbourne and had to change her flight like 3 times! They start at 9am on the Sat, but ours was quite busy so they had two information sessions. This meant that the day went for a bit longer (because we had to wait till both info sessions were over before we did the 2 mins with recruiters), I was home by about 2.30 and I live very close. On the Sunday they do the group interviews which start at 9am but don't have an end time, its just over when its over. I was home by 6.00pm. And then they hold the one on one interviews on the Mon, Tues or Wed. You have a choice of day and time, but if you can't come on the Mon/Tues/Wed then you miss out. They left the country on the Thursday morning. So if you make it all the way through to the one on one, then you would have to stay at least until Monday arvo (best case scenario).
I had to call in sick for work...which I felt bad about but there was just no other choice!
Maybe just get a flight where you don't have to pay for every flight change?

sheenab1983 and to all those waiting!!
You wanna know whats going on??!!......The same as what is going on in the rest of the world.....Economic Crisis!!!
Its hitting all the companies!!! Even Emirates......Boeing are to let go 10000 staff and British Airways have slashed all routes by 25%!!
If you have applied already just email or call. They can "pool" you which means you are successful but they will contact you when a start date becomes available!!
Just get in touch and keep trying.......
Good Luck

Medicals... part 3
So, I sent my medicals Sunday afternoon (DXB time) and I just got today (Thursday) a written confirmation that they got them. BUT, I called then yesterday and I was told I was supposed to translate "every single word" of my laboratory results of blood test etc. (the handwritten notes form my doc werent enough, I think).
Today, in the email I got from them confirming they received then, there was a word saying about translations... lets wait and see now what will happen.
Mike
By now, I still have FEB 13th, now I dont know if I change to 20th or not. No one else on FEB 13th? Just me?

What happened at the open day...
Hi guys,
Since uve been helpful in answering my questions I decided to give back!
To all of you who have still not been to ur assessment day I hope this helps!
Day started at 9am and I think about 70people showed up. We were given a presentation on the airline, living in dubai, about the job etc. This took about an hour. After this we all went to the recruiters and handed in our cv`s. We were then asked to leave the room and come back in 15min - they split us into four groups - the first two would stay in the room and the next two groups come back in 40minutes.
At this point of the day we were placed in a circle with our group and had to ask the person sitting next to us what animal he/she would be if they had to choose - while we were doing this we would go up to the recruiters one by one and do the reach test and were asked a few questions by the recruiter like; why emirates? what do you do now? etc... When everyone had spoken to a recruiter we would stand up one by one and tell the group which animal the person sitting next to us wanted to be and why.
We were now given our group discussion topic; "If you had to make a charity organisation, what would it be for? Where would you be based? And how would you get the funds?" We were given 15minutes to talk about this and come to an agreement as a group, no voting allowed. When the time was up the recruiters picked one person from each group who would stand up and tell the other group what we had agreed on. We were then sent out and asked to come back in 15minutes. When we came back they had the first "elimination" and probably 35 people were sent home.
The we had a break and came back for an english test - one hour maximum - grammar, reading comprehension, plus a one page essay - after this another 10 people were sent home.
We then were split into two new groups - one group stayed in the room the other group come back in 45minutes. New group discussion - recruiters were sitting right next to us listening and writing - topic was; If you had to make a movie what would be the plot? who would be your main actor and actress? where would it take place? - 20 minutes - no voting. When the time was up the recruiters would ask us all to stand up, one by one, and answer a question like; "What did you agree on would be the plot?" At this stage another 13 people were sent home.
I think about 10 of us made it to the final interview which would be the next day. We then had to fill in some paper work and do a pshycometric test - 180 questions like "I like to read? - yes, no, uncertain..."
Be ready for a VERY long day if you make it through the stages!
One advice from me, I might be wrong, but it seemed like, they werent really paying attention during the first group exercise - it seemed like they decide when you do the reach test and talk briefly to the recruiter, but I might be wrong on this!! Just remember to smile and be sweet when you talk to the recruiter... Be yourself, they will see right through you!!
GOOD LUCK GUYS, and if you have any questions let me know!!
