stella1- your friend could have her tattoo removed while she waits or when she gets the golden call.
snowglobe- you don't have to wait 6 mths. that rule does not apply in your situation.
just had to say- i was not expecting any call today, its the weekend! such a surprise!

Hi all,
I finally got the courage to pursue my cabin crew dreams. First step is becoming a registered member here. I've been getting so much info from the thread.
I'm currently in Dubai and upon checking the Emirates website, I saw that they have a CV drop-off on 1st May. From my understanding, this is like the Open Day in other countries like Philippines, Thailand where hopefuls come in business attire and just hand the CV to the recruitment officer. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, regarding medicals: if you fail one of the tests does it automatically deem you medically unfit? Specific examples:
- scoliosis: if you have scoliosis, do they allow a certain degree ? anything over the limit makes you unfit
- Hepatitis B: if you test positive, does it automatically make you unfit or they check also the level from the results?
^ Oh i forgot to add, it says "CV drop-off for candidates of all Nationalities"

So, after barely a week of waiting I get the rejection email. Second time trying. Will I try again next year? Probably not. Maybe my 'calling' is not in the airline career. Gotta look somewhere else. Good luck everyone, work hard and never take this opportunity for granted. You all are amazing . I'm out!!

Hey everyone,
I just spoke with one of my friends whos DOJ is suposed to be tomorrow. She recieved an email today from HR saying that due to the obvious travel disruption in Europe her DOJ will now not be until Mid/Late May. Lets just hope this volcano stops and normal flight operations can resume ASAP.

The documents state that an Emirates Airline Work Visa will not be issued if you test positive for HIV/Hep B /Hep C... or have untreated Syphillis.
Regarding Scoliosis the "cobbs angle" must be under 30degrees for it to be acceptable, however you must not have recurrent back pain.
Hope this helps!

so disappointed - D.o.j 17 May
Hi ekhopeful,
I sent to the HR team an e-mail on Thursday, then because they did not reply I called them today. We all know that they do not answer to phone calls very quickly as well. Spent 1 hour trying all the different phone numbers and finally made it throught to a lady that was so nice to tell me that she'll call me back after she looks at my files.Of course, as I expected, this did not happen
......................I just wanted from them to advice me what to do or change my DOJ........not tell me if I am approved. I know that they are very busy but I did everything on time and why did they even bother to ask me if I am stil employed and if I need 1 month notice to resign!
I need it and my company is extremely strict about it

HEY EVERYBODY!!
I have a tattoo in my lower back..it's not visible at all..Do you think i might have a problem with this???I've passed the FI and still waiting for an answer so I'm very nervous about it and i don't want this to be a problem for me to get the job...when they asked me about it they told me that they wanted to know it for identification reasons only..however we were asked to send a form via mail in which they were interested in any tattoos,piercings or birth marks that we may have..so i wrote about its size shape and place even if it is not visible.....What do you think about it????

Hi there guys!
Nicole: I dont think internet is provided... but people who know this can correct me. But all local phone calls in Dubai are paid for and are free.
Stella: I believe as long as you have disclosed and told the recruiters you have one tattoo in the lower back it should be fine. If you haven't, then you will definitely need to hide them.
Hope this helps!
Do you guys know if Emirates will continue recruitments until the end of this year?
I attended an OD in Brisbane but failed to make it through to the FI. I would very much like to apply again after 6 months...
Good luck to those who are waiting for the golden call!
God bless

If they send the form to you asking for more information, it's best to tell the truth and write down 'yes' you have a tattoo and send it back. It's in the lower back region anyway which you can cover easily. Trust me, I know and have seen so many CC have tattoos.
Best of luck!
And yes the waiting can be a pain, I made it to the FI last year and it was the longest wait of my life!
All the best

WOOHOO!!
Ok got the call i was waiting for after 2weeks from my final interview 
Heres a quick story as to my journey upto this stage :
I've been in Dubai now for over 18months working as a personal trainer. I decided to apply for Emirates last September 2009 when they reopened recruitment.
The first time i applied i got to the final interview and had to do that logic test at the end...the reason for this being that i didn't do well in the psychometric test on the assessment day(there are a few logic questions integrated into the psych test). I know this through a friend of a friend. Anyway after an agonising 7 weeks i finally got bad news that i was unsuccessful and would have to wait 1 year to reapply!! Now of course i really wanted the job but i can't put my life on hold for a year!! Sooo i moved on and started to look at other options.
Come January 2010, i received an email from Emirates saying that they had reviewed my application again and have decided that should i still want to i can reapply after 6months. So it didn't take much for me to decide to try again! Come April i went through the whole process again but this time i felt much more confident and relaxed. I made sure that this time i was much more decisive with my answers on the psych test and didn't sit on the fence so much. Well it worked....got the the final interview which was more like a casual chat and was so relieved to walk out without having to do that test!! Before anyone who has had to do that logic test gets worried and is waiting for an answer...you have to know that other people have gotten through after having to do that. each application is individual so just because i failed the first time doesn't mean you will
Anyway now im gonna get all my medicals done and paperwork completed, my probably DOJ will be 20th May...YAY.
Goodluck to everyone...and i hope that my story will show you that if you get knocked down you've got to get back up and try again!!
