Emirates - Wannabes & Recruitment VI

[Dessa]

DOJ changed

Hello F.A. again,
Did you got your ticket and visa already? When?
My DOJ was april 12 and changed to april 15 but they didn't send the ticket and visa yet! Kind of worried.

Thanks and see you soon in Dubaii!!!!

StewardMan and all

congrats,
that was really fast - from FI to golden call. wow. tell us how many had final interview with you.

i had my FI on the 31st march and there were over 30 person who got through to FI. so i know it will take some time ... but the wait is killing me. i just want to know at this point. like you this was a few years coming. also i learn that they were still here in Trinidad interviewing up till the 4th April! so they may not have even started looking at our stuff yet.

does anyone know if its the same two recuiters alone working on the applicants or do they hand it over to a team? good luck to us all

[StewardMan]

Thanks

There was 11 of us who made it to the FI. I was the first person to get a call, in my opinion that is because only I have had all pictures and documents ready at the FI, the rest of the people was asked to send them ASAP to Dubai. Therefore i believe that is a reason why I have received a call from recruitment coordinator just few days after my FI, although i was told that i can expect a call from 4 to 6 weeks.

Emirates OPEN HOUSE EXPERIENCE - TORONTO - APRIL 10,2010

Hi Everyone!
I just got back from the open day which was held today in Toronto Downtown.

I was wearing a blazer with skirt, heels and skin colour stockings, had my hair in a bun... It was surprising to see some people in jeans:S:S

Everyone got greeted by the 3 wonderful people from the Konexion Management Consulting team.

I got there super early at 815AM and was surprised that 10 people were already in the waiting area filling out their forms:-)

While filing out my form(form was just basic questions name/address/personal info and 2 questions based on situations), many more people started to enter...

After filling out our forms, we are asked to do the reach test.
Ladies had to remove heels and men were allowed to keep their shoes on. Unfortunately, I saw two-three girls being sent home and 2 people were sent home/ they were pretty upset because they weren't 21.

Please remember you can go for an open day if you will turn 21 in three months time So anyway, this one person was really upset about it and refused to leave, but I guess he finally left..

I waited for about 20more minutes and then finally had my one on one with a man called RICK... I believe, he was very very sweet and so polite. I felt so comfortable, we pretty much just talked and he asked me 2-3 questions.. and thats it guys !!! 5 minutes interview and I was on my way home

now just have to wait until next week Friday for an email - if I made it or didn't...for the next round of interviews

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me would be glad to help

Emirates OPEN HOUSE EXPERIENCE - TORONTO - APRIL 10,2010

Hi there,

I had the same experience today at the Toronto open house. I was quite taken aback at the minimal amount spent with candidates. I was also only asked 2 questions, they reviewed my resume very briefly, asked me if I had relevant hospitality experience (to which I said no, but elaborated on my extensive customer service background) and that was that. My 1-to-1 was with the gentleman.

It seemed to me like they were trying to recruit for their database as well -- not just for the Emirates positions (as they are recruiters for hotel, resort, and other hospitality-related jobs). So, I don't know how much stock to put into the interview process.

Did anyone else have a "longer interview" today? I'm having a hard time believing it was just a prelim screen.

*sigh* this Flight attendant recruitment process can be quite discouraging after multiple cattle calls!

Hey, just to let you guys know, I was at the exact same Konexion management recruitment for Emirates in Vancouver on March 27th. It was run exactly as you said, but the successful ones were invited back for the Konexion Assessment day the following day. Those who weren't successful were told they would be contacted within a week by email... as to whether they are successful or not... but this was just so the recruiters didnt have to say no to their faces. I know people who were in both circumstances (i luckily was invited back for the next day).

Just thought you would like to know so you don't get your hopes up, but it looks like you missed the boat this time round. I hope for your sakes I am wrong, but Ive spoken to a few people who have gone to Konexion open days in the past and it is always run like this. Good luck though!

Meds approval

Has anyone with the doj being 17th May received the final approval? This waiting is killing me. You wait for the interview letter, you wait for the golden call, you wait for your final approval, you wait for your eticket and visa and lastly you wait to leave to DXB.

about Toronto OP 10 April

hi,guys!
it's interesting to hear OD goes like this...probably for englishspeaking people they did it in an easy going way..'cause my expirinece in Europe was 12 hours long and very stressy... you didn't have any group tasks, nothing? only this short interwiev and that's it?....how many people were there?
anyway good luck, you never know what they mean by doing such model of OD...

i cant believe it

Hi guys

I cant believe what just happened....i called dubai cabin crew to check if all my pending documents were recieved and after hours of trying i finally got through to a human being rather than a message service...and the conversation went like this;

dubai; Hello cabin crew
Me; Hi i just wanted to check..
Dubai; Hold on

And she puts me through to another answering service!...arghhhh...this is very frustrating!...Has anyone else actually managed to speak to an actual person. Any numbers would be very much appreciated.

Anyway hope you all enjoy your day

Ekhopeful

No progress yet EKHopeful. I emailed them through the Portal and they said my Med & Security Docs will be reviewed shortly. Won't be long now! Roll on May 17!! :-)

[Ekhopeful]

I just spoke to an HR coordinator and she said they are now looking into those whose doj's are on the 3rd and 10th of May and that they'll look into those of us with 17th May as our doj in a day or two. So my bet is that by either Wednesday or Thursday we'll hear from them

[headerbjk]

DOJ 26APR and i still dont have Final Approval...Awesome...I cant guess what they re trying to do...

[Ekhopeful]

Wow. You should call them. Call [phone]. She's particularly very helpful.

[headerbjk]

I ve 2 friends too and they still dont have their final approvals. And I ve 1 friend his DOJ is19APR and 2 days ago he still didnt have his Final Approval. Dont know if he got it now...So things are working very slow..I dont know how thats goint to end up.

Meds approval

Ekhopeful

I am also waiting. I uploaded my medicals on the 7th April and after that I have not received anything from EK and 17th of May seems so close!

I hope that they shall send to us our final approval before the end of the week. Currently, I am employed and I have to resign. However, if they do not contact me by the end of the week, I have no idea what to do. I need to inform my boss 1 month in advance, and they know this!!! I wonder if I do not hear from them by Sunday, should I call? or just go ahead and leave my job? Is there anybody who had to resign and waited for EK? Did they contact you on time?
ohhh myy, maybe those worries are in vain and they'll contact us in couple of days

chicago od

hi
did anyone attend the chicago od? how was it? how many people showed up?

[Ekhopeful]

spontaneous

Let's wait till the end of the week. I'm sure they'll contact us by then. This wait is getting ridiculous. P.s wait for the advice to resign, just in case.
