Vancouver OD
Hi all
I just attended the OD in Vancouver. Surprisingly we were told that there was not going to be any further meetings as the resumes were going back to Dubai and then they will decide if we get invited to an AD. Does this sound right? I was under the impression that we would be advised to come back the next day etc etc.
About 120 people showed up, we sat for 2 hours listening to the recruiter who told us everything and anything we needed to know, along with some videos. I think they want to make sure that you know exactly what you are getting into.
After that we lined up and had exactly two minutes to hand in the resume, photo, forms and tell them why we wanted to join. That was it!
Not sure if anything else will happen now but just waiting for a call to an AD?!
Thanks

Vancouver OD
No more further meetings after the OD? Are you serious?
That's the weirdest OD ever.
I mean 120 people wasn't that many. They should have conducted the AD right away after the briefing.
I am glad that I went to the one in Seattle last month since they conducted AD on the same day. Everyone was shortlisted.
Anyway, Good Luck to people who showed up today.

Personally I would wear a skirt.,Why I GUESS because you gotta show them if you have the emirates look (as far as the look goes) but thats just my opinion.
In saying that I saw a group of girls who were groomed immaculately,5 of them were wearing the same thing, red lip sticks, they look just like emirates girls but none of them got so confidence and personality counts and we know that hehe
But the most important thing is which one would you feel more confident in?
And if you wear a skirt im sure that they expect to see tan colour stocking (mentioned on the email they sent out in my country) and I am not talking about a mini skirt ahahha
Sorry if I cant give you a final answer because BASED on my experience I saw females with pants got to a FI.
But hey that's why this blog is great so we can all share our views and etc good luck

Vancouver OD
That sounds pretty right, before Emirates used to have an external Recruitment agency do the Open day and then a week later or so the Emirates recruiter would come to that city for AD ! and as a heads up , when you look at the AD dates Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal shows, hinting that the OD would just be that !!!
Now seat back and let your imagination run wild until they decide if you are worthy to attend there AD !
Patience is a virtue
Good Luck to all

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I wanted to share my experience with you to see if someone can dispel my doubts! I had the assessment day on July 17th and the FI on Monday, July 19th. When I got confirmation for the Assessment Day the instructions in the e-mail said I should create my profile in the Emirates site, which I did. But that was all. I did not apply for the job online. A few weeks after I returned from the assessment day I heard some of the people I shared the AD with already had "Approval in progress" in their account, and a few days later changed to "You will be contacted by your recruitment coordinator at the earliest". Some of them have already been contacted (CONGRATS TO YOU GUYS!) 
My profile never said anything like that and what's worst it always displayed (0 jobs) applied. I sent some pending documents and photos twice, but never got any confirmation of receipt. My fear is that maybe I missed a step in the application process. Is anyone in a similar situation?
Thanks!

Vinodv77 and Montreal 76
Remember i saying that things in Canada can be tricky? Here it comes, holding an OD without immediate date for AD!!
I haven't found something more weird than this one.
Let's hope the bilateral talks on the matter of more flights into Canada will work out fairly soon. It's a little absurd here, only 3 flights to Toronto per week. Absolutely not enough! I want to fly with EK for my holiday and going home!
Vinodv, hope the people in Dubai HQ will spot your CV at the first place.

Hi valentina, one of the guys that had his AD on the 18th did not apply online, and did it a few days after, and now he has the " approval in progress" sign. So i guess you have to wait for yours.
The email that we received with our AD date said that we had to apply for the job online, but you shouldn't feel discouraged about it. I mean they had all your info so that shouldn't be the problem. Perhaps you will not know your status, but still you did it girl. You got to the FI and now you'll have to wait like the rest of us. Don't lose hope or anything like it. 
In any case why don't you contact Favio by email, or ask him trough facebook to the recruitment Agency.
To the rest of you guys good luck to you all.
Jes553 you will get your DOJ soon i bet on it!!!!

Hi valentina79!
Ok, I think you may have did something wrong when you applied. Because normally when you apply for the job, it appears applied for 1 job bla bla bla.. so I guess you missed a step and didn't realize it?
For the papers of the FI, remember the one where they wrote the email to contact them? Send them an email and explain the situation.. (be sure to mention when was your FI and at what place and I don't know if you had a reference number for that day, but it would be good to put that also), cut remember they get thousands of emails per day so it is better you specify who you are so they can get your file and see what's wrong... buwertaeuut on the other hand, in my case it was an OD, (although I also did the application online), a girl who got through, didn't have the online thing with them and they did call her. So don't think that if you messed that up it's a terrible thing, cud they have your file and if they want to hire you... relive me, they will reach you!
ps. also take in mind that sometimes they could take the 6 weeks to contact you!

OD in Vancouver
Hmmm, no AD the next day, sounds different. I changed my mind last minute not to attend the OD in Vancouver -- the flight to Vancouver was costing me a lot. I am gearing up for the LA one though I hope this time around, the shortlist/proceed to the AD etc. in a row. This whole thing involves a big waiting game But, as mentioned before, patience is a virtue. Thanks again to everyone for sharing his/her valuable experience and in-depth info. I'm so glad that EK are still continuing holding OD/ADs...I hope it continues well through next year. Good luck to one and all

Kirs000:
Hey! I'm Anna and I was at the Brisbane interview too (I'm not 100% sure but I think I was in just before you and Jess.. I came out from mine and there were two girls on the couch and I told them not to stress because the girls were really nice!).
As for how people have done, Luke (the only guy who was there for the Final Interviews) got his GC at 10.40pm on Tuesday night and Katherine (the girl who went to aviation school there) got her uniform e-mail but I'm not sure about her GC! Thats all I know of so far!
Saha:
For the photos they also said to stand straight with your shoulders back and your elbows tucked in, put one foot slightly back (not too far, make sure there is still a gap between your legs). And then everything Jessi said as to what to wear! =)

Vancouver OD
Hi
Thanks for the encouragement!
For sure not having the AD right after OD was strange. I think we had all prepared for what was to come only to find that it might come later. Although now on the EK site there is a date for an AD in Vancouver of Sept 11 which was recently added. This might be suggestive of the timeline.
For anyone in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal and Torono going for OD this week, you should expect the same thing as the recruiter said she was continuing on to those cities.
Let's see what happens next!
