Hi Florbrillito!´
I´m Georgina from Cordoba! I had my AD on July 17th and the FI on the 19th.
My FI also lasted around 30 min. I had pending docs to send like photos and certificates and stuff like that, which I did.
I accessed the website and my status is approval in progress and since I read this forum and realized I could check it by internet, it has always been the same status!
Did you have pending info to send them?
I read that if you have the "you´ll be contacted status" it´s a good sign!
are there any boys or girls that made AD with you in the same status???

Hi Georgina, I'm Leandro, you know me from the 17th July AD. I have the same status, and as far as I know, only three of all that we attended got their Golden Calls. So I guess we have to wait until our status change to "co.ordinator will soon..." or "unsucssessfl".
I have to admit that it's getting harder and harder not to be anxious about the answer!
Regards to you all,
Leo

Oh my God your last post describes exactly what I went through after my last AD in April. It was my second time trying, made it to FI being the only male so it beats logic why they didn't pick me. I now think I have a very strong idea as to where I went wrong during the FI. I have now embarked on a journey of discovery. For example I have come to realise that it is better to argue out / explain yourself logically during the FI. I'm at heart an intuitive person and I speak what comes to mind, which turned out to be my downfall. I do believe, however, that everything that was meant to be shall be. Shortly after my FI back in November 2008, I met this great person and we started dating, so the first unsuccessful email didn't sting that much. Flash forward to April 2010, I got the email and it got me disappointed at first. At around the same time, the person I briefly dated in 2008 came back into my life (they had just come back into the country after having been away in Abu Dhabi for quite a while on work) and it was nice to have them by my side again. I am thinking of continuing from where we left off but that's beside the point. Nothing in life is random. Everything in the universe works in tandem to create a destiny for you. So many things have to be in sync for you to be able to achieve your goals. I believe I will go through next April. If I don't, I will keep trying. For all of you who've gotten the dreaded unsuccessful email, it's ok to feel like someone reached into your chest cavity and tore out your heart. You'll be o.k after a while. Just don't internalise it. Vent it out to friends and family. Know that the fact that you made it to FI means you have what Emirates is looking for. You just need to 'polish your product' . Most times it will take you two or three tries to finally be accepted. Take care x

Hi!
Someone wrote above that the courses are all full for September.
Remember: RAMADAN IS COMING SOON!!! Everything slows down that time as the office hours are shorter...
Don't worry too much if you don't hear anything for 4-8 weeks: they will contact you sooner or later!!!
Ramadan in 2010 will start on Wednesday, the 11th of August and will continue for 30 days until Thursday, the 9th of September.

already full courses in September
Oh, I just realized that I read the info about the full courses on another forum. Anyways, one of the members of the other forum attended the OD in Belgrade and she was told that courses in September were already full.
There were around 350 people in Belgrade (31st July), 90 were called back for the assessments.

Hey Everyone,
Quick question. I've read through tonnes of the forum but I'm still not a hundred per cent sure so hoping someone can clarify for me. For the ADs are they usually all done in one day, as in they don't call you back in a day or two for the 1-to-1 interview or can they sometimes be spread out over a few days?
Cheers guys!!

Hay Hun well I hope this helps
I had my open day on the 17 th of July this year and the open day was yes open to everyone who wants to get into emirates.
1.With you, you must bring your resume make it as small as possible only 2 or 3 pages at the most. They have weight restrictions with their travel and they will tell you to removed everything that's not important.
2. A photo of your self in business attire, I'm serious when I say this wear a suite with knee length skirt, stockings " must be skin colored". Wear a collared business shirt underneath and do the jacket up. Have your hair up off your face and tied in a bun. And spray it with no wispy bits. Wear court shoes if you have them if not heals but appropriate ones no straps....
3. Be your self and definitely don't talk over anyone. Watch your posture at all times they watch how you walk and how you present yourself. Even when not in class room there is always someone watching...
4. Sorry got off track to your question. The day will be long or short depending. On how many people turn up. At mine there was around 300 I think and I was seen about half way through I left about 1300pm I was there from 09:00am.
5. After this we were told that if we were successful we would receive a call before 1700pm that day. And be asked to return the next day.
6. The following day went till 1700pm after all the stages. People were cut throughout out the day. There were 21 people left by this stage.
7. We all then had separate days to return for our final interviews some Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday... I was on Tuesday...
I hope this helps if you need to ask anything else just let me know I'm happy to help

hi everyone!
thanks all for your information. its very true they come to nairobi alot, i remember the recruiter (hannah) saying that in Nairobi everyone passes the english test and they like that.
i dropped my cv in april, and also mentioned to the lady that that was the fourth time they are taking my cv, and have never been invited, and i got an invite this time.
about the AD, what i observed was that few people who made to the FI, had some level of neatness like MARI is saying, trust me appearance will matter alot. also poor listening and urguing with the group was another thing that diqualified pple. also the posture, i remember our last group activity was a group discussion about what we would like changed in our kenya, one lady had alot of good ideas, had the best english in our group, was very very very confident, but kept rubbing her hands, checking her nails as she spoke, stretching herself, not openly, but like to suggest she is very tired, (actually she was sleeping during the breaks)..... she was left out. so luck yes but also you need to be prepared, i learnt alot from this forum and it helped me alot. if anyone feels am not right please tell me, am also learning.
kenyan85 thanks alot for the updates, Mari thanks for the info, may be alittle advise about the FI for me .

Hello everybody!!!I am new on this forum and I just wanted to ask a question. Last year I had an interview with the Emirates Group and reached Final Interview but I did not receive their "golden call". Now I was up to apply again but it turned out that in Dubai they recruit only arabic-speaking candidates. It looks a little bit strange for me since they have so many interviews for all the nationalities all over the world. Why is the situation different in Dubai? Does anybody have any thoughts when the situation might be changed.Maybe I just can not find a link for non-arabic speakers?Dear Mari, thank you for all your posts, they are very helpful for everybody, you know everything so I will be very happy to hear your thoughts.

OD in Vancouver
Hello all,
Who's attending the OD in Vancouver? I'm excited and bubbly ... I wish I could afford a Boss' suit to wear on that day, but I can't dig that deep into my pockets. I know it's been stressed that you've gotta look sharp.
Good luck to one and all.
P.s. Do OD/ADs continue in Ramadan?

Hi there,
Sorry about the outcome. However you might as well check the EK website about the recruitment campaign in China, it says' preliminary selections will be done in conjunction with appointed agency FASCO'. It could be due to the large numbers of people attending.
I heard that the campaigns in China got foreigners attending, Thai,the Philippines, Russian areas...and got selected. So really not sure how this works. I will go there and find out myself next time if I visit there.
About Registering for AD
Could anyone tell me that I should register for AD? I have registered for the OD on the website already.
As a matter of fact, the place of holding the OD I'm going hasn't said anything about AD, the dates and places for AD in Canada have been posted on EK website--they are in other two different cities from mine. Is this to say that people who will pass the OD, for instance, in my city, will they get invited to the AD in other cities?
Anybody get any idea about this, please, your help is urgently needed. Mari, do you know how this works? Appreciated.

An AD is assessment, you need an invitation.
An OD is walk-in, no invitation is required.
You shouldn't care about the other cities. Go for the Open day you selected. (It's good that you filled up the application form but it's really not mandatory.)
