Post Hey EK Gal

Yes We Are Counting Down....theres a song called rise up by yves la rock or something but it says my dream is to fly like the rainbow so high.......that would be a reality for us soon. dont stress with the luggage 50 kg is enough to carry from aus. more shopping in dubai at discounted prices...what happend to my idea (SPIRIT OF TASMANIA).LOL. . try to see which option would be cheaper. secondly ill call ek today to confirm my email has been received and if theres anything else regarding my app i need to get done and ill request that we take the same flight but you too try the same.lol In regards to internet im not sure but it looks like ill by a laptop from here if i get a good tax return but with internet letting a guy come in youre room these question is best left for someone who works with EK.lol were both on the same boat. and finally if you need me to shrink youre documents onto a pdf than let me know rather than sending 50 attachments to ek.......enjoy the last month at the workplace and get prepared as youre new life begins.....keep me up to date with the meds.

Hey Meedo

No i haven't heard that song- yeah i know your idea of the spirit was good BUT its like a 3-4 hour drive to devonport where the boat leaves from and then someone has to drive me there and then drive back and the boat sucks, and i get sea sick, it didn't seem worth all the trouble. i'm on the phone to qantas now to see their excess restrictions etc, of course they dont put them on their website and apparently the waiting queues are longer than usual i have just heard! great!
hahah i always pump you for information like you work at emirates!!
just looking at my flights now- i'll try book something to get into melb around 1pm fri 29/8 so i have plenty of time and i know my flight will definitely connect.
i'll let you know how i go tomorrow ---
take care of yourself--
nothing will stop us now!
cant wait to fly
i also cant wait to go down the slide on training and into the water in a pretend crash- thats going to be awesome!

Hey there,
to be honest its just so hard with recruiters to know what they look for and what they don't. in my answers (and i'm pending medical) i was more in between not saying anything and saying anything. for example when i had the difficult co worker question, i said that i did say something to them but then i provided an example of something that helps everyone, so it i tried to compromise all the time. i'm not sure if not saying anything at all is good or bad, i know they do look for people who are followers and don't question the rules etc that much. prob better that you look like you go along with everything and dont create conflict than if you had expressed your opinion too much.

meedo--- another girl from hobart, called lauren (who i went over with , not sure if you remember her) got the emirates call last night!! so excited for her! i tried to get her to leave with us but she has a september date and its prob a bit tight with time for her as well. but no matters will catch up with her in dubai!!
also i bought a book about dubai from book shop the other day and there is sand boarding over there- sounds great!! i'm on the countdown now, putting in my medical email on wed/thurs so will call you if have probs then hopefully will get final approval and my ticket! i'm booked flying into melb as well now.
33 days!!!

Post Hey Ek Gal

Hey Ek Gal,

Not Long to go. I think i remember her (Lauren). i have a book ready for me in dubai.lol. my aunt. hopefully during the first week she will help me settle down there and ill be able to do some shoppuing for a laptop and a new suit along with shirts and ties . If you want come along for shopping youre welcome but i might use you as my guide if you get better with city knowledge.lol. the tickets and visa gets sent via email a few days prior to departure. they said around 4 days prior but it should be a week prior hopefully. As i said if you need me to shrink the word docs into a pdf for you, just email me the scanned images of all the filled out paperwork and ill do the rest and email it back to you in no-time. . Keep me up-to-date with the medical progress. and i thanks for the wallposts buds. 32 Days And Counting........

Ive started to pack my bags at the moment trying wisley enough to get 50kg and not a kg more......

meedo!

hey meedo-
i've been so bored at work- haven't done anything the whole day (openly) found a great blog http://tampaxtowers.*************/2006_03_01_archive.html
for anyone who is interested on a emirates girls flights/layovers etc- its pretty good- been reading that the whole day!

i also had my chest xray today and this old radiographer who i'm pretty sure was 130 told me to wait in this TINY cubicle in this dodgy robe with no back, i was freezing and she forgot about me for half an hour and i didn't have a watch so couldnt work out how long i was waiting and eventually i had to go out in this robe thing and ask what i was waiting for, when she worked out who i was (she forgot) she just goes oh i thought you had left you can go get changed and go if you like!!
medicals take up so long and are very expensive!!!

i will def take you up on the shopping for laptop etc- and with all my dubai research i'll be like a local hahah...... probably not but between my research and your language abilities we'll be cruising!

p.s helpful tip -- you can take 7kg hand luggage, so i'm going to take the biggest bag that will fit as hand luggage and stack all my shoes in it- that means you'll have like 10kg extra luggage!! i'm a thinker!

Post Re: Ek Gal

Hey again buds,

The missed call thing seems to work good and no facebook who cares about it for now.lol. becareful melbourne airport are now strict with hand luggage when it comes to international flights they could sometimes be good or bloody bad. last time i left no more than 8.5 kg the guy didnt let me leave untill the bag was that weight. nice story about the xray.lol....anyway cant wait.....new life and my first full summer for 6 years....been constantly travelling from winter to winter.

meedo!

oh really- putting my shoes in my handluggage was the thing that will get me through----hahah no not really i'll might be a bit more careful with that though! sometimes it just depends on who you get on the check in, dont want to risk it too much though and have to unpack 100 pairs of shoes in front of them.
really winter to winter- that sucks, although im living in a permanent winter here -- i have no idea how im going to cope wtih the weather over there- in my interview i was like i LOVE the heat- its awesome, but after a trip to thailand and experiencing humidity for the first time ever it was actually really intense.
not long to go- scary feeling.......

morning training sessions start at 8am and leave around 3:30pm and the evening classes start at 4pm and end around 11 pm. so it just depends what batch your in and you will get all the info once here about timing etc.

bhill

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im so happy for you- its such a great feeling!!
well meedo and i are flying out of melb 29/8 so maybe we will all be on training together?? where are you flying out of?
make sure you book a double appointment at doctor and dentist in advance because you might have to wait to get in. the docs and contract can take 3-5 days to be sent via email so its beetter to be extra prepared so your start date doesn't get pushed back.
well done again!!!

Goooooood Mooorning Meedo!!

hi meedo! your like my new best friend now- you kept me entertained at work!!
i hope you me and bhill get me go on training together! i'm sure we will if we fly into dubai at the same time.
maybe we could all go down the water slide together hahahahahah!!
im going awesome thank you- how are you? when are sultan and laura flying out again? was it 5/9?? i forgot--
work is the same- how about you?
my baggage preparations are going well, i'm going to weigh all my shoes today and buy a small carry on bag with wheels to wheel them all through security hahaha- if anyone stops me i will smile and dazzle them!!hahaha
really ipod security? now thats just ridiculous- when i flew out into thailand they tried to search me for bombs but i didn't feel well and said oh do i have to??? they said oh dont worry about it then-????? how bad security is that?, so if you dont want to be searched you can just say you'd rather not be?? surely its not a choice-
i hope they tighten up security when we are flying--
also p.s poor lauren isn't sure she can pass meds for emirates- im meeting her today with all the docs and hopefully we can sneak something past them- fingers crossed on that one.
tell me the news--
p.s those blogs were awesome that you put up-- i loved the male flight attendent point of view- very funny.

hey buds

i emailed her (lauren) the check list and the doc for meds to get her ready early if you can help her book the stuff that would be great. i told her were teammates now and its important to help out the rest of the crew . im stuck here taking exculations at telstra boring and annoying, but can handle it. see what happens when youre in a call centre.lol. the only thing making me sane is sppeaking with you and looking forward to dubai

crew members must stick together!!

ahh that must be what freaked lauren out- the check list, i was wondering why she all of the sudden panicked!! it looks pretty intense. i'm just going to have coffee with her now, so i'll take my checklist and go through it with her, hopefully we can get a few things by the emirates fine tooth comb!!
yes your right we must all help each other- there seems to be a fair few ppl from our assessment day getting in now!! thats awesome. you didn't say when sultan and laura are flying out? any others we know of got in? thats you me, sultan, laura, sophie, lauren??
im stuck here trying to organise applicants for jobs and listening to everyones excuses about why they cant turn up for work.....
go the forum-- i'll let you know how i go with lauren

Post Waiting for that call.... South Africa

Hey guys, I had my final interview on 21 July. I think it went quite well. They said we should get feedback within 2 weeks. So almost there... the waiting is hectic huh?! I'm sooo excited, yet a little nervous!

This is going to hurt, but please give it to me straight

So I went for my second Open day at the weekend. Around the same amount of people as the first time.

Last time I went I was really into answering all the questions bout do we know EK and have we been to DXB etc... and then in the group activities, looking back, I think I may of been too vocal during the group stages, so then it wasnt such a suprise that I didnt get thru to the next stage. Just as a side note, there was a guy at the first one that didnt particularly want the and therefore said nothing during the group thing, his parents told him to go.

Now the second one, same deal again, but I didnt really make it known that had flown with them before and had visited nor did I let it known, except in CV that I was CC already. Then in the group excercise, I didnt really say anything, but was taking an interest in what others were saying, and again, was speaking with another guy, who was currently flying also, and was talking alot in the group exercise and again wasnt really bothered if he got it or not due to personal reasons, found out today, that he actually got thru to final interview, but good on him, he was a nice guy!

anyways back to me. So I got the rejection note again at the first stage, even though I was different to last time, now the only reason I can think of is there is 'look' that Emirates uses and I didnt match that, you know, Im a bit bigger, I'm balding with very short hair and lets just say this other guy was your typical stunning German man. Am i right in thinking that looks play a big part in getting through the relevant stages in EK? I guess I am just used to being in the UK and companies not able to say no on the grounds of looks etc.

So I guess I am off to the gym for the next 6 months... but thats not going to make my hair grow back

Anyother advice for the next time?? other than the above....

Sorry guys for the long reply, but I am at a loss...

cheers!
