I hope the information that I will give you will be helpful.
On my FI I was asked to do the logical(raven test). After one week I received the golden call. However this is not a good or a bad sign. I don't know why they are giving this test or the chances to be hired. All I know that you will have to wait....and wait....and wait. This is the killer part.
I am done with all my paper work now(medicals,documents for security and so on) and I am still waiting for my final approval. Waiting is not my strong side but there is nothing else we can do
.
I wish you luck

hey everyone... sorry for the late post.. but i would like to share my experience with you guys..
(mainly since i havent see anyone from italy contributing such info..)
i attended the open day on the 27th in rome..... where they basically had an introduction to the dubai lifestyle and what we have to expect from being a flight attendant.. and what a great company ek is.....!
as we were around 200 people.. as the hall was already divided into two parts.. the recruiters sat behind a table.. one on the right and on the left... and asked each one to come forward and hand in the cv... as we approached they greeted us being so friendly told us to take a seat... and they asked some questions from our cv.. and asked us to write down a contact number.. and they told us that the successfull ones would get a ring by 19.00.....
i got mine, as i was walkin home at around 16.00... yeh!.. i was really excited..
Day 2 : since they asked to come at 8.30.. i went there early... and i was really surprised to see that there were so little candidates... (later i got to know we had been shortlisted to 58) we were asked to enter the hall and while doing so.. each one got a sticker with a reference number and first name written on it.... everyone had to paste it on the suit...
then the ROs told us what were going to expect today.. and that it was going to be a long day.. they divided us to 2 groups.. i was in the 2nd.. and we had to do the famous introduction to the person on the left.... they main questions we had to ask was something about them that is not there in the cv.. and if the person were to be invisible for one day....! while we were busily asking questions from the person to the left.. the recruiters called 1 by 1 to do the reach test.. girls had to remove their heels... there was a ek poster on the wall and everyone had to touch above it.. and after doing that we had to sit down in front of the RO and she asked some questions regarding your previous job for 2 min..... after that we returned to our circle and each one stood up.. and did the introducing.... i was a bit nervous... but i did it...
then started the waiting... after about 15 min.... we were called inside the hall... and they started saying.. we were glad to have you here with us today.. and if your not successful, you could try again.. etc..
they called the ref numbers in ascending order and each and everyone went out of the hall with a letter in their hand....
as i walked out.. i really didnt know what to expect.. so i opened it slowly and.... it read :
"Congratulations, you have been successful through to the next stage of the screening...."!
wow..
we were now around 35..... and all of us were invited to do the english test.... and the multiple choice questions were really easy... there was a comprehension.. and another one where we had to find a definition from the text.. like "struck up" --> starting up a conversation.. and "pit falls" --> negative sides.. etc .. and then there was interpretation of instruction boards.. example : "Parking Strictly Forbidden Access Day and Night"
we had to choose from :
* you should not enter the car park
* the car should not be parked here.
* car can be only parked during the day.
and then came the essay... which was pretty tricky.. we had to elaborate on three things which we are proud of.. and 3 things that we arent..
i did get stuck trying to think of what to write but i did finish the page on the answer booklet and half of a blank page..
after a long waiting.. we were called again...
and same procedure as before.... and i walked out of the hall with...........
a successful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was really happy now.. and i saw some people leaving.. and i felt sad because by now i knew almost everyone there..
ok now.. we were around 25.....
we were called into the hall and asked to sit in a smaller circle this time.. and each one of us were given a sheet with a scenario written... this is basically what it was and what i remember..
we were all working for xyz airlines and we had a problem with business class available seats.. so we had to downgrade 6 out of 8 passengers to the economy class... and there was a minister of uk transport, to a oscar winning actress, a platinum card frequent flyer holder, an airline employee with a staff ticket.. a married couple goin in a honeymoon.. a man with a broken leg.. a famous journalist... and a wealthy mans young daughter......
after we started.. i spoke up said that one of the obvious from the list is the employee.. and i agreed when we decided to keep the man with the broken leg.... and ecc...
after 15 min.. each one had to comment on a passenger and the reason as to why the group decided to keep him or not... and all this time the ROs were makin notes... when it was all done.. they called us one by one.. and asked us which languages we spoke.. we had to tell them our mother tongue and any other languages we knew fluently.. and we were asked whether we hav ever applied for US visa... and that if we had any tattoos or scars.... i said i didnt have any sort of tattoos but i do have a small scar on my forehead and i showed it to her.. she was like "ah thats ok!.. smiling"
i left the room and the next group was waiting eavesdropping the situation and they asked me what happened and all... ehehe.. by now i started breathing again.. lol!
then the torturing began... we waited and waited for a looooooong time..... this took like ages.. more than a hour.. and we queued up and was ready to receive a letter....
this is where i felt the whole world tumbling down on me.... as i opened it... there was also very personal reason as to why i wanted ek so badly... but as they say everything happens for a reason....
even though i didnt show it there.. i was so upset inside of me.. i saw many happy faces.. and i really wished i could i have been one of them.. as i remember we were around 8 unsuccessful people.... so wit a broken heart... i left the hotel..
and while walking home i gave a call to my girlfriend who had gone out with her crewmates to some rooftop place in DXB.... i told her.. "i guess i will only get to visit you anyway...."

Hi everyone,
I have heard from my friend working with Qatar that If you used to work with Emirates, you'll not able to apply to Qatar or Etihad for 1 year. Is that true? And do you know why?
Thank you very much.

Congratulations primv! You received your golden call just a day after your status changed right?
My status has just changed to APPROVAL IN PROGRESS. How many days did you wait for it to change to "YOU WILL BE CONTACTED.."?
All my applications for cabin crew (2 for Dubai & 1 for Cebu) in the EK website have changed status to Approval in Progress! At least, a lil enlightenment!
How about yours Phaquer? I hope we all get the "You will be contacted.." status!
Lets keep praying! *fingerscrossed*
MIKZ Your reason I think is your GF. *teehee*
Sorry to hear you didn't make it but keeps your hopes up.
Keep trying. Our RO even mentioned to us that some applicants were hired after 4 or 5 tries.

yes, i think that's the reason why my status has not changed yet. i certainly do hope so. anyway, the passport thing is not something that you have to fret about. amelita said that they will give us instructions about it after they would give us instructions for medicals. let's hope for the best at this point, and not entertain negative thoughts as we play the waiting game. we will get in and i would love it if we were batchmates

I have participated to a Initial Screening . It was not that hard. They checked my weight, whether i got Tattoos and scars. Specially the gap between teeth. My front teeth got a gap. it comes genetically. Could any one please tell me what are the stuff they look from a Initial Screening. I'm bit nervous too
Hi prinselias
Could you please tell me the process that you been when you applied for the job because It seems to be you are the only Sri Lankan that I can find other than me
