It took about 10days for me to hear from them. But I also think the times vary. Lets say, if you werent able to give them everything during your FI, then it may take a while. But I gave them everything and it took them 10days to receive the GC..all the best!

Redhat,
I cannot offer any solution for the hair loss as I did not find any, yet... You have to live with it... (I tried everything, all kind of vitamins, water filter, treatments, different kind of products.) Now I only use a salon poduct which finally helped with the damage. I'm still losing hair big time every day... I had to buy a mini hoover because all the hair in the apartment bothers me so much...
Yellybaby,
A girl I know was called to submit new business attire photo. Three days later she was called to send new casual photos. She was hired, she works for Emirates.
Kandy,
congratulations that you made it so far. Your interview was yesterday, right? You should wait a little bit for the answer...
as you were surely told on the final interview it would take 3-6 weeks to receive the answer from Emirates. (After submitting ALL required documents.) Your date of joining will be 2-6 weeks after the phone call. (Only if you manage to submint ALL your medical forms and you are approved. If something happens, your DOJ will be delayed but it happens, no worries.
This question was asked million times here, so feel free to read back to find out the individual answer from dozens of ppruners.

I've been invited to the newcastle od but I can't make it. I'd rather go to an ad anyway. I think they invited me to newcastle cos its closer but I'm happy to travel.
Does anyone know if I can call them and ask to go to the london ad instead? And does anyone have the number? I've searched online but no luck

Denture
Hey everyone...well I have a question on denture.I was in a car accident a few months ago and ended up losing two of my front teeth so due to that unfortunate experience I have to wear dentures...i'm wondering how that will affect my chances in my ad next month and its rather expensive to get implants...and I doubt I will make it to get them done by the AD...but they look pretty good...i love smiling a lot and I'm so worried...!!!

Old post:
I went to the AKL open-day today
Just the same as all the other open days I guess;
It was my first-time to go to an open-day,
I thought there would be heaps of people becoz I heard
that like 300 people turned up at Christchurch,
But at the Auckland open-days not that many turned up;
Around 100? Maybe more maybe less.. around about there I think.
And I think more than half were people from Asia~
The two ladies from Emirates were Kim and Emma (I think.
Kim gave us a brief introduction about the emirates airlines,
about how the open-days work, we watched a video,
had the question answer time, then handed our CVs in
one by one. When I was handing in my CV, they asked
where i got my photos done, and what I'm doing currently.
They said they will ring people who make it through before 6 pm
and I got a call from Emma around about 2 pm!

Induction
I've read this whole thread and could not figure it out: What exactly are we doing this 10 days before our training starts? I know we'll get to re-do our medicals, get to know the company, but what else? 10 days is quite a long period. I imagine these won't be hard days. Is it correct??
Thanks

A friend of mine went to the Assessment in Miami on Saturday. They started with about 70 and by the end of the day 10 were left for final interviews. She did say that many of the women showed up in mini skirts and FMP's...they were eliminated immediately. Some even wore jeans! Since she is currently a flight attendant (and did her research) she made it through to the final interview (which is today). She had her hair in a bun, black skirt suit with a white blouse, black heels, nude hose, professional make-up and had her nails done in a neutral color. When they told the remaining women about bringing in passport photos for the final interview they used my friend as an example of how to do make up and hair.... It pays if you do your research, read all the info you can, and dress properly.....

Dress code at OD
There might be a rule regarding the dress code but I was surprised to see many people who appeared on the first day in jeans and mini-skirts and passed to the next stages ( in minis again) and fail not because of this but due to weak English test results or during group discussions.

Hey guys,
I didnt write anything here for a long time because after you finally finish all the paper work and join, there is no time for anything.
I also wanted to clear some things that myself and few other friends were so worried about before we joined.
1. Tattoos - If you have it, hide it and dont declare it. I met sooooooo many people with tattoos, on their hands,backs,legs and even one girl has a tattoo on her wrist! When I asked her how did she manage to pass, she said that she covers it with make up and always wears a watch! So dont worry if you have any tattos. When I did my medicals, they dont check for it, so if you dont want anyone to know about it, noone will!
2. Vaccines - You dont have to have all of them done before joining. Loads of people do it after and it get deducted from the salary. So if you dont have money for it now, dont worry.
3. Money - Try to bring as much money as possible and dont spend it all on your first week! You get an advance on your induction week and end up spending it all and later on your first salary is barely enough to buy food for a week and you actually have to live on it for a month! A lot of people are calling their parents/husbands/friends for money after 3 weeks in dubai!
4. Prepare to study. I thought it was really easy being a cabin crew, but its not! Past 6 weeks were insane! You dont sleep, go out or do anything except for studying. A lot of people fail their exams and are forced to repeat a week or two. So get ready to study 12-14 hours a day!
Let me know if you have any questions on training.
Good luck boys and girls.

Smoking
@Kandy_girl
I don't think telling the recruitment officers that you are a smoker will affect you're chances getting through. After all, they do provide accommodation according to whether you are a smoker or non-smoker. Also, there were a few people who nipped outside to have a few cigarettes at my OD and they are due to fly to Dubai soon!
I think as long as you pass your medicals and you yourself don't mind not having a cigarette for long hours due to long haul flights, then I don't think there would be a problem. Try not to worry! And best of luck!

About smoking
I don't think it's a problem if you do. They just ask you because you've got to live with someone that smokes too. After receiving your GC, you have to answer this question again (through an online form). If you lie, you'll get to share an apartment with a non smoker and THIS would be a problem
