Milica as i see from your profile you re 31 years old. And Emirates Recruiters care about the age of candidates. It`s probably not about your performance in group discussion but about your age i`m afraid to tell...

Yes,it might be the age issue...who knows.My friend who is also 31 just got the job at Emirates (in Zurich) ...that depends on recruiter decision I guess.

Toronto Open House sat april 10th 2010
Toronto Open House sat april 10th 2010
I attended the emirates open house which was hosted by a company called Konexion. I believe they host all canadian recruitments for emirates. The website for konexion is www.konexion.ca .
The recruiters are extremely kind, and professional. The first day I arrived they gave us forms to fill out, then we completed a reach test. After we had a interview with one of the recruiters. The recruiter invited me back the next day for a 2nd interview.
The next day they had two group interviews at different times, one at 1030 the next group were at 1130. The groups were both consisting each of around 30 people roughly.They first split us up into two groups, we went around the room and introuduced ourselves. Next they gave us two different scenarious and we had a group discussion about them. One of are group discussions was you have to evacuate a plane and be stranded on a dessert island. Pick 5 things you would bring from the plane with you to the dessert island.
After are group discussions the recruiters talked to us for a while. They told us there were alot of serious faces in the room aka not smileing, people should not talk over eachother, give full attention to the people who are speaking, there should not be more then one conversation going on, you cant talk the whole time give others a chance, dont be a full on leader (they want someone who works with others a team player not a bossy leader), I saw some of that sadly in my groups discussion.
SO EVERYONE HAVE A PERMA SMILE THE WHOLE DAY FOR YOUR INTERVIEW AND DO NOT TALK OVER OR DISAGREE WITH ANYONE BE PATIENT GET YOUR OPINION IN AND LISTEN TO EVERYONES ASWELL!!!!
The 2nd interview only lasted about an hour. At the end they talked to us about photos how to dress, and a bunch of other wonderful tips. We will get an email this week if we make it to the next set of interviews the following week or if we dont
. Next week interviews are when we meet the actual emirates recruiters.
HOPEFULLY I MAKE IT TO NEXT WEEKS INTERVIEWS AHHHH, anyone who gets an email this week from them if you made it inbox me.
fingers crossed.

So hard
Hello~
I attended EK's assesment on march 7th, my final interveiw was 9th.
It has been a for long, long time since my online status changed to "Approval in progress" (almost 2weeks ago)and I'm still waiting for any contact from Dubai...
The waiting is killing me
I hope "Approval in Progress" is positive sign~
Should I just wait for it without doing anything?
Good luck to you guys~~

I also sent a query- no reply. I think I will just email them anyway just incase. Does anyone know the size of passport picture they are looking for for the security document section?
I am not having my medicals done until the 22nd and 23rd of this month, it was a total nightmare trying to arrange appointments and I still havent heard back about chest -rays! so annoying ....
Good luck everyone see u all in Dubai ... hopefully

Hi guys,
I'm off to Dubai just now, my taxi is coming very soon to take me to the airport.
I'm so excited..
All I wanna say to those who are still waiting is don't give up hope!
See? It's not impossible....just difficult!
But every single step was worth it!
Good luck!

To Lola and Sophie
Wow Lola thats very fast you are one of the few lucky ones who will not have to wait weeks maybe even months. From what i've read that pretty much means you got the job all you have to do now is wait for your golden call
Good luck!
Hi Sophie i was just wondering if you could help me? Could you please tell me roughly how long you waited for your golden call after your FI and how soon your online status changed because i've noticed that Emirates seem to take a long time with UK candidates my reasoning is they need language speakers more right now! I don't know i am just starting to worry. Thanks in advance
Good luck to all of you going to Dubai very soon and to all of us waiting and hoping to join you soon.
Good luck!

Yaaaay!!! I'm so happy for you. Now at least you're in the clear. How long did you have to wait? Its been 2 weeks for me so far and they haven't even checked my medicals as completed.

Hi!
yeahh I try to stay possitive, but itīs so frustrating when everybody getīs an answer except for you..
But you probably feel the same way, 3 weeks is so long when youīre waiting for something like this!!
I sent an email to [email protected]
It took some days for them to answer, and so far my status is still īapproval in progress` But hey, thatīs still better than `not succesfull`
Like you said.. triying to be positive!
Good luck to you, and I hope we both will be in Dubai soon!

Thanks for the information sophie. My only problem is the way the groups were set up in the AD i didn't get a chance to speak to people outside my group and everyone i was with did not make it through so i have no idea if anyone else received any calls/emails! Out of the 56 of us at the the AD only 6 made it through to the FI.
Well il just keep waiting and hope patience is a virtue
