Ek Cc Grooming
Guys and girls,
I'm just asking a totally different question now that just was nagging me abit:
I've been thinking for a while to have a complete hair makeover: like golden highlights or something done to my hair ( I'm a brunette ) and I remember somwhere in the grooming leaflet that emirates gave me, that we are not allowed to do have hair color streaks or something...
I'm abit confused about it and i don't want to make any mistakes now that I have been contacted ( who knows if they do not like my new appearance or something) and the photos they have of me are ones with my black hair ( not natural though cos i have tinted my hair countless times!!)
I'm asking this because grooming is an important thing for CC.
Any advice??
Thanks!

i have experience :)
Hi , thank you for giving me advice. I do have experience, ive worked for a national airline that went bankrupt. In my country you only need 18 years and you are legal. But there are only 2 airlines now so there are no vacancies hahaha
untill you get the job and then ask the persons there if you can do that to your hair . Join Date: Aug 2007

relocation
Jaye,
the only and most important question is: what passport your friend is holding. She wants to relocate from where to where?!
She should familiarize herself with the rules first. For example:
- If you are Australian, you cannot work in the UK as you don't have an EU passport.
- If you are Slovak, you cannot work in Germany even though you have an EU passport because the labour market is closed in some EU-countries for some nationalities till 2012.
- If you want to work in Switzerland, you need to have an EU passport as well, even though Switzerland is not part of the EU.
- If you want to work in the US, you need a greeen card to work, even though Australians and British don't need a visa.
- If you want to work in Australia, you need to have a valid work permit. For example if you want to work for Qantas. (It is written with huge capital letters on the homepage.) And you cannot relocate from London (QantasUK). The same story for the ones who are based in London and work for Air New Zeland.
Whatever she wants to do, she needs money. The easiest way to save a significant amount is to complete 3-4 contracts on a cruise ship. Or work for Emirates but she doesn't want to live in the Middle-East. (Note: you can only save if you have the right attitude.) You can try gambling, as well...
I heard about two other ailrines beside the Middle-Eastern ones offering accomodation:
- Cathay Pacific, only in Hong-Kong base, not in London (a crew told me)
- Kingfisher, India (accomodation provided only for non-Indians, a saw an ad before)

atlanticman
Hi atlanticman, I was invited to an assessment day by Emirates after applying on their website, I had my Final Interview in October, my DOJ was February as my medicals took FOREVER to sort out (docs lost my blood test results!) I would think that both those candidates who applied through a recruitment agency and those who applied direct are all in the same holding pool. Hope that helps! x

wasn't sure if all you people waiting to apply to EK had seen that they've opened recruiting again and they're inviting people to apply on line for cabin crew jobs on the careers page of their web site.
Best of luck to all.

Would you think I was a total freak if I told you I really had to fight to hold back tears of happiness reading that? You would? Ok i'll keep my mouth shut then haha.
btw as for highlighting your hair, go for it, as long as its natural highlights obviously and doesnt look too mental. I've seen looadds of social network profiles of girls working at EK who have highlighted their hair.
When they say no to streaky hair, they must mean as in trendy, fashionable, unconservative hair
ie this is fine:

EK recruitment - coming soon...
BEFORE everybody falls into euphoria and starts stating the fact about the Emirates e-mail...
If you were able to register before the freeze, you already received the following automatic e-mail from EK:
Dear Miss E... S..., New jobs have been posted on our career website that match your job preference criteria
Emirates Cabin Crew Opportunities
Job Reference: S-I/SN/13391
Department: Cabin Crew
Company: Emirates airlineLocation: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
As I thought, the first (necessery) recruitment events will be in Dubai:
Candidates may also appear in person and submit their CV, passport size and full length photographs at the new Emirates Group Headquarters near Dubai International Airport, Ground Floor, Entrance B, on 6th September 2009 between 4:00pm and 5:00pm.
It's just registration, assessments will be later.
I don't see any recovery, though...
People resigned, people got fired, people got pregnant, nobody was hired since March and new aircrafts are coming. Some new cabin crew are needed. No surprise there.
Recruitment campaigns will most likely to start nex year. Maybe spring.

I knew It was coming over. I could have felt it within my stomach. It's been almost nine(9) months of waiting already, Funny time frame. The ''baby'' is coming out within right time for conceiving, literally speaking. 'Cos The AD I attended occurred back in December 13th of 2008. It was absolutely awesome. Thanks, and it feels like yesterday!!! Best time to conceive. LOL
So great news!
Read the following below:
Suitable candidates will be short listed and contacted for the selection process.
Please bring a valid UAE driving license, a UAE original health card or an original passport as identification to gain entrance to the building.
Most likely they are now looking for Arabic speakers and UAE citizens, in my point of view.
Congratulations for thos whom made it so far!!!!

I received an update email today stating that cabin crew recruitment is starting again.
I just spoke to my friend who works for Emirates at the moment. He said they got told two days ago that recruitment will resume and that recruitment/training will start in October.
Good luck to you all in the holding pool with your final interviews and good luck to those applying now.

I'm sure the fact that they have posted on the website for the first time since the freeze means things are starting to move now. It might be a while until the actual Assessment Days are held but at least we know they're starting to plan it.
A current member of CC told me today that she has heard EK will start holding ADs by the end of the year so that training can begin around Mar/April again. I think shes a really trustworthy source as she's the same person who told me she had heard EK would be contacting people in September. And they contacted people on September 1st lol.

No vacancies in chilean airlines? Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure Lan is hiring right now.
(I'm sorry for talking about a different airline in this thread
)

hi cotita
Yes cotita they are hiring, but the recruitment process is very hard. I went last year to an interview, so did a friend of mine, and we didn't got the job. But since he is 21 years old, he got the job on Emirates so... weird hahahaa 
but i will send again my resume just in case, but if they don't call me for an interview i will try on Emirates. Thanks for your response.

For those in the hold pool.
Guys,
I dont often post on here but thought I would share some news with you.
I currently fly for Emirates.
Today I flew with a purser who works in the training college.
She told me she has a very good friend in recruitment and was told that there are currently around 700 people in the 'hold pool' that they are moving forward to bring to Dubai to start training from November.
You will have to attend another 'final' interview to ensure you haven't changed dramatically in appearance or personality.
I understand many of you have already received an email but just thought I would confirm with you what is actually happening as this information is from a very reliable source.
The rest of the recruitment will commence next year.
This is fantastic news for you!!!
Get ready for good times
