Interview Update...
Hi all,
Just a quick update - I had my re-assessment interview yesterday, first thing I would say is make sure you have completed the online personality profiling before you go to the interview as that is what generates the questions they ask you, if you haven't received the email with the link in it, chase the recruiters (I had received it but some other candidates hadn't and had to go away and complete it before they could be interviewed)! The format is very similar to the FI except I only had one person interviewing me this time, they want to know what you've been up to in the last year, how you felt when you were put on hold etc then they ask you the competency based questions like "Give me an example of when a customer pushed you to your limits" etc. It seemed to go well for me (don't want to jinx myself!), I'll find out in the next 2 weeks as they have to send my paperwork off to senior management in Dubai for approval. I had to take 4 passport photographs, a colour copy of my passport and an updated CV, I went in business attire as before and it all seemed very relaxed. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :o) xx

Hi everybody!!
Thank you for posting here your experiences and updates, they are very useful and encouraging
I had my FI in October in Milan and the offer withdrawn early this year. I am now waiting for the re assessment interview, I received the email from EK asking if I'm still interested two weeks ago already. I am really looking forward to being called!! Is there anyone from Italy in the same situation??
Let's keep in touch and see you soon in Dubai!!!

Anyone in holding pool from New Zealand?
Hi guys,
I haven't been on here for months, but received the "are you still interested?" email on September 1st.
Is there anyone else waiting in the 'holding pool' from New Zealand?
If so, please can you PM me.
Cheers

Medical Costs
Hello all!
Just thought I'd mention that I was 'frozen' but asked Emirates to reimburst me for the medical costs. I got the money back (minus the vaccinations).
But the key is that they still sent me the 'are you still interested email'
SO anyone who was worried about asking for money back, perhaps it's not too late!
Good luck!

Re-Validation Interview
Hey filwa
I had my interview today, it was much as Lucy 21 said, it felt quite relaxed (it was one of the girls who saw us through the whole process last year). It was actually in an office over a desk so wasn't as daunting as the massive table and panel style interview last time. It was all scenario questions like before, a few examples of what I was asked:
- Can you think of a time when you've had to deal with a sensitive situation
- Can you talk to me about when you have had to deal with a difficult customer
- Can you tell me about a time when you have introduced something new in your work
- Can you think of a time when you've had to be very flexible at work
- Can you think of a time when you've had to deal with a difficult rule
And she asked what i've been doing since I got the bad news, and how I felt/handled it.
Afterwards she said that all the documents would be sent to Dubai for a decision and i'd hear in about a fortnight, and that the first Ab Initio course is starting at the beginning of November and would how able am I to leave Britain at short notice. She said that we'd have to complete some of the medicals again at our own expense but she wasn't able to tell me which ones and that if I am to be successful a different team in London will liaise with us regarding the medicals. She said the 4 passport pictures we are asked for aren't used in the decision making process and are sent to london for something to do with security passes.
Hope this helps some people! Good luck

Great news for everyone that got contacted! Has anyone from Ireland heard back? I passed final interview but hadn't submitted medicals yet then got news that the deal was off... Haven't heard anything from emirates since

Hi Sheenab
I think the invitation interview is for those who made it to the medical stage but didn't quite make it through. Everyone from Brisbane who made it to the final interview earlier this year didn't get an email because none of us got a chance to do the medicals. I however got the bad email saying they wont take me on-board. But having said that, mostly everyone from our Brisbane interview got an email saying they will be re-contacted in 6-9 months....
The process is confusing but I guess we will have to go through the whole process again from day 1. But look on he bright side, we are more prepared now!
God bless

Thanks for the info. I will have my first ever Final Interview with EK next week after attending an AD at the Dubai HQ on Wednesday.
I'm really nervous but I am already trying to think of good responses to the questions you have posted and anything else they might answer - Could you tell me if you had to do the online psychometric test again before your re-validation interview?
About how long did the first FI take? (I'm going in my lunch break from work!!) Did they say how long you'd have to wait untill you'd hear back?
All the very best of luck. Our Recruitment Officers mentioned that the first training dates available are in November so not long to wait for some of you guys now, all things being well

Sofia AD
Hello guys, this is my firs time I post on this forum, but I read it for a long time, I want to attend the AD in Sofia (I come from another country). This is my first interview for Emirates and I am nervous, I attended another interview in March for a Middle East company but I refused their contract because I wanted Emirates, and I was there just for the experience. Could anyone give me some tips regarding Emirates, for those who attended AD or OD with them? If there is also someone interested in this interview, I want to book an apartment in Sofia, and I travel alone so there is room for more…

Presentation and communication skills are the main factors.
The usual stuff, nothing else to say, really. If hundrends attend this AD, you need to have a very strong CV to make it through the first selection. And luck of course.

Hello everone,
Since nobody responded to my question whether anyone from Poland got the email, I'm assuming tat nobody did. That makes me think that probably people got contacted with according to the place they had they AD or OD.
But then somebody wrote about medicals. Is it true that all of you who got the email and the call had their medicals completed before the withdrawal? That would make things a bit clearer.
I'm still waiting, and a bit worried of course

Pupsik,
I applied in Brisbane, I have an Aussie passport and I was born in Russia.
I'm not sure whether that answers your question but Emirates did hire a Russian, from Australia. I'm not sure whether they have open days in Russia though.
Good luck!
