AD in Cebu, Philippines
hey guys. i'd like to share my experience too, since this forum helped me a lot. its just right to give back.
jagged_j and i went to the same AD so you could refer to her post on some details.
i belonged to the 2nd group of the 1st cut so after introducing our seatmate, our task was to give the RO an itinerary for a whole day visit in Cebu. after that there was a cut.
english test. just reading comprehension, vocabulary then essay. ours was how to help in being an environmental-friendly individual.
then in the group dynamics, same with jagged_j.
in our group, only 3 of us made it through the FI. the first batch was more lucky. during the FI, the RO asks you about your previous jobs and scenarios that test your abilities in handling difficult situation with customers as well as your colleagues.
and now, we are all waiting for the results. the RO said, it would take 4-6 weeks or maybe earlier. but i still have to submit a few things though. i wish all of us from our batch flies to dubai.
it happens, according to my research. 
my tips for those who wants to apply:
1) smile a lot!
2) in group discussions/dynamics, don't cut any people when they're talking. nod when you agree, and avoid disagreeing with them. if you should, then say it in a polite way. don't talk to much, or be so silent.
3) watch your posture.
4) look at your groupmates when talking, don't mind the ROs. pretend that they're not there.
5) remove your coats/blazers for the reach test! (haha)
6) research on emirates, everything about the company. the coporate values, new flight destinations, read forums, everything.
7) make sure this is what you really want.
8) be positive!
9) and pray!!!
if you want it so much, He will give it to you. just believe and trust Him!
please do pray for me and my batchmates!
we want to receive the golden call!
God Bless!

did you all read this
March 18, 2010
Two Emirates cabin crew have received a three month prison sentence in Dubai over sexually explicit text messages, the latest in a string of indecency cases against foreigners, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The pair, an Indian flight attendant and her cabin services supervisor, were convicted of "coercion to commit sin" over the messages and initially sentenced to six months in jail, The National newspaper said on its website, citing court documents.
The sentence was reduced on appeal last week to three months and deportation orders against the pair were lifted, it added. It did not reveal the content of the messages.
An Emirates spokeswoman declined to comment on the case as it was still ongoing.
The paper said the case emerged after the flight attendant's husband filed a lawsuit against his wife a year ago accusing her of being in an illicit relationship with her supervisor. It said the couple had been embroiled in a divorce battle since 2007.
The case is the latest decency case against foreigners accused of not respecting local mores.
In a separate case, a British pair caught kissing in public in Dubai is appealing a month-long jail sentence handed down after an Emirati mother complained her child had seen their indiscretion.
The pair, a British man living in Dubai and a female friend, were arrested in November on accusations of kissing and touching each other intimately in public and consuming alcohol, their lawyer said.
In a high-profile case in 2008, a British couple narrowly escaped prison after a court found them guilty of engaging in drunken sexual activity out of wedlock, and for doing so in public on a beach in the emirate.
They were sentenced to three months in prison followed by deportation, but had their jail terms overturned on appeal.
In a separate case this year, a British couple who shared a hotel room managed to escape trial in Dubai for having sex out of wedlock by producing a marriage certificate.

Well first relax so you're nerves won't get the better part of you, build up your confidence, and as your name goes its only by God's grace you can achieve this dream. Pray now and if you're an ardent Christian some fasting won't be bad as it prepared my spirit and body. Back to the OD, smile at the RO always and look into her eyes. If you don't hear or understand her ask her to repeat. Structure your answers. If you make it to the group discussion LOOK AT YOUR GROUP MEMBERS when talking NOT the RO. Allow others to be heard but also speak out loud and clear whilst not being bossy. During the English test read the instructions carefully and write clearly. Uhmm... if you make the FI be serious but jovial and smile. Show them how charming you can be and if the recruiters are friendly, get a good joke ready and before hand tell them you have an amazing sense of humour and if they ask for a joke say it. Most importantly PRAY hard and God will see you through.

@ lola81... Yah, Dubai has this law for out-of-wedlock thingie. So different from ours. Yikes!
@ Fingerzcrossed...I'm sorry to hear about your rejection e-mail.. But keep trying! May I ask what happened during your FI? I'm more anxious with my FI result now!
@ Milica8.. I modified my post regarding my AD to make it not too confusing and added more details for your reference.
Goodluck!

Thank you Jagged very much I am praying for all of you to be successful and I hope I will be one day too.I guess when you get the job it doesn't seem so difficult to get it,but from my perspective it is mission impossible

Hi, it was crazy. So many people showed up that day. Even though I arrive at the hotel 30 min early, it was already full. We had to wait about 4 hours to get our turns.
Good luck on your OD!!! Hope you get the job!

Trinidad open day "Lola" and "onlybygrace"
I have been preparing for this for the past 2 years. I was looking forward to attending the OD on the 8 Feb 2009 however due to the global economic crisis EK had put a hault on recruitment and it didn't come off. I pray now that i am successful and if i am not, it wouldn't be because i wasn't prepared.
To my fellow country man Lola81 and onlybygrace if you have the opportunity to, read these threads from page one and try and create in your mind the exprience of OD. I have compared alot of AD and OD structures and the all look the same only the topics may change. Any post from these threads will give you some source of information especially from Mari is very helpful.
Airboys article from Mel and Tabletrays will give you really good advice for OD grooming and dress code. EK recruiters are very meticulous and if you want to this "job" career that bad they will expect you to do everything possible to be perfect.
I pray for myself aswell as you guys. I hope I can meet you all on the 28th, and as i was admonished by Mari, READ READ READ!!! you will find every thing you need to be a sucess at OD.
GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS
