Dear Katty,
I would advise you not to go until you fulfill the 6months "waiting period".
Just to share with you, I went to AD and went into FI in Jan 2009 (unsuccessful reason from recruiter was because of economy). And I join another AD and went into FI again in Nov 2009 (whereby I suppose to wait a period of one year to retry). I thought they will accept my application as its ALMOST one year. But not. My interview was unsuccessful.
During the FI, the recruiter told me that I am not qualified as I didn't fulfill the one year period. But since I was there, she said she'll just interview me.
I think to follow their instruction is certainly important as it shows how you follow and understand instruction. This could be a way of seeing your personality. As what we know, personality & attitude is all EK looking for. I am suffering from the one year waiting period now. I am taking this one year time to prepare for my interview. I will retry again starting end of the year. Wish for best. Good luck.

My medicals and secuirty documents were approved within four days but my resignation took over a week but i guess it all depends on how busy they are at HR. Your medicals are approved and so the worst is over just know your on your way to Dubai soon. When is your DOJ?

Thanks, but another question.
How do you know if they've been approved?
If they have an queries they would contact me and ask, so with the status saying complete for medicals and security that means it's all approved is that right?
my DOJ is 14 June and yours?

I got a text from HR to that went like this; You have now obtained your final approval please log onto emiratesgroupcareers.com for further instructions.
I didnt recieve any notification for my resignation it just changed to completed on my portal. If you didnt recieve the text or email notifying you of your final approval i would just call to double check that everything is clear.
My DOJ is 7th of June i think well be in the same training group...had my last day at work yesterday! Such a great feeling

Open day Cork 22 May
I went today for the open day in Cork (Ireland)with my friend to support him. And i got really surprised only 16 people came!!!.
There was 2 recruiters Sonia and Kim. Sonia recognized me which was nice and i had a short chat with her
She was the only recruiter on my open day in Galway.
The scenario was pretty same as i had. First the introduction, then working in teams they were suppose to ask the person on their left about something they are most proud of. Then there was the discussion, the topic was to give 5 advantages of living in Dubai, the other group i think had to talk about advantages of being a cabin crew but im not sure.
Seems that it was way easier tho then what we had in Galway. We had to choose 5 people that we would like to invite for the supper, choose the venue and the theme of the supper and motivate why. Then out of that 5 people each group had to pick up one person.
My friend wasnt successful
. I know about 5 people went through to another stage. All was going so fast....
On my open day i was home at 8 pm.....

Scale
Guys , you must know because you went to the interview, do they have a scale to know your weight?? or you have to know this before so you just write it on the information paper??

Thank you
Thanks contesa!
I had that doubt because there is a girl who wrote on her blog that they had a scale there, but i think that was because an agency was doing that first and then they had to do the interview with the recruiters

you couldn't talk!!!
wow what ever you were doing must have been really important! did you stay on the phone long enough to at lease get your recruitment officer's name?
if so then you can try reaching her/his extension directly . you will have to keep trying to contact them.

Gothenburg Rucruitment 22 May
I went to the recruitment in Gothenburg yesterday and didn't make it.
There were less than 40 people there. The recruiters were two girls, Inez and Alex.
They started off with information about Emirates, living in Dubai and working as cabin crew.
After that we handed over our CV's. I went to Inez and chatted for 20-25 seconds and handed my CV over with a smile.
Next step:
We were divided in two groups. My group left the room and we waited for an hour.
When we were called in we sat down in a ring.
First I told the girl to the right things about me. She then had to present me to the group. I asked the girl to the left questions and presented her.
While we were asking questions we also did the height test.
Inez and Alex had set up papers on the wall and we had to do the reach test. I walked over smiling, looking them in the eye. When I turned around Alex asked me:
"What do you do?"
I was at first a bit puzzled about the question but answered:
"I'm working as a receptionist."
Both Inez and Alex were actually looking for something and I don't know why. They just said thank you and I sat down again.
After presentations we had a group discussion.
They chose subject for us. In this case we discussed the advantages and disadvantages about a global currency.
We discussed this for less than 10 minutes and then they wanted an answer from the whole group. And we answered that it is not good at the moment but maybe in the future.
That's it! After that I got eliminated!
I would love to know the criteria.
I'm thinking it might be age. I'm 35.
I've got:
Looks - check!
Confidence - check!
Almost perfect English - check!
Customer Service experience - check!
By the way! At least one girl who didn't make the reach test got through to the next stage!
I saw the advertisement a newspaper and others got the e-mail after registrating online. In the advertisement there was nothing about dress code but in the e-mail it said suit. I had a shirt.
Also there was no information about a whole day or about successfull candidates being called for the next day. There were people there who had train tickets for the afternoon.
Anyway! I am definately going to apply in 6 months! Then go there again with a suit on!

On my assessment day i wore a high waisted skirt and a white shirt...i looked professional. If for any reason you do not look professional enough in a shirt then make sure you wear a suit at the next open day but it is not the most important thing.
When they do the reach test and you are having a 30second conversation with the recruiment officer..she/he is building a very clear profile on you..for example are you friendly, do you react well in a situations etc. I strongly believe if i had not conected with my officer in those vaulable few seconds i would not have got the job. Just go into the next open day as relaxed as possible in these situations but always show enthausim!

Hello to everyone!
I have read this entire forum about Emitares. I find it very useful and I thank you all for sharing valuable experiences.
I am asking everyone if you could give me more details about the topics within group interview (as some of the above did), and the sequences of interviews (how many, what they consist of) and what is the final interview about?
I would really appreciate your help
Thanx

Open days
Hello everyone!!!
I have tried to read as much of the Emirates thread as possible but my eyeballs are starting to go square
I'm just curious as to how Open days are constructed for Emirates? I have attended an Assessment day before for another airline and basically it was group taks in the morning and then panel interviews in the afternoon. If we were successful through that, we were requied to attend a candidate day two days after.
Is this the way Emiratres operates? Or is it slighty different. I am just wanting to know so that I can plan for time off work in advance.
Thank you to any one who takes the time to reply. Much appreciated!! Feel free to PM me and good luck to anyone attending Open Days in the near future!

Vaccination Report...
Hey guys!!
Hope you've been doing well...I'm struggling with the medicals (of course!!) and I have one question..
In regards to the YELLOW FEVER vaccine, they told me that after you get it, you need to wait 21 days to get any other vaccine..
however, I need to get everything done by this week, because I can't take that long with my medicals, since my DOJ is June 28th..therefore..
what do I do? do I tell them about this and ask if I can get that shot in Dubai, when I arrive there? Please let me know if you have any info on this...
thanks!!!!
