Guys
So I’ve been thinking - it’s time to put faces to names. In the photo below, Left to Right we have njeshwings, yours truly (kenyan85) and hopefulke, EK’s present, and future(s). This was on the evening of njesh’s completion of most of her medicals – the vaccinations, xrays and pap smear. We look like one big family don’t we hehe. Hopefulke and I will be trying out our luck next April, while njeshwings will be heading to DXB on the 4th of October. Wish her luck as she starts on he brave new journey!

Hey!
I was at an Open Day in Paris (21st august), we were 28 (9 boys) for the Final Interview (25th) ! I guess we won't be that much to get the Golden Call...
I read in previous pages that some people can read his status on Emirates career website, but did we need to get registred for the OD?
I have an account but I wasn't registred for this OD, so at this moment I got nothing.
thanks for the infos

Preliminary Selection 31 Aug
Attended it yesterday in Dubai, I'd say there were 40-45 people? Made it through the first few knockouts until there were 7 left before I got booted out with another girl. 5 were left for the FI as far as I know.
Sighhhhhh.
Sighhhhhh.

Yellybaby, nobody knows how long YOUR approval takes. Read back (10-20 pages)) if you want to know how it went for others... Take a paper and write down 10 examples. Then calculate and you get the average time.
Thibotus, do you have an account? I think they will use that, don't worry. (My friend registered for Budapest OD this year. Failed. She went to Bratislava 6 months later, registered again, made it to the final. They used her previous account for the status changes... She is doing her medicals now.)
One thing is sure: they find a way to contact you if they want! Prepare your questions now and write them down on a paper. Ask them if they call!!! (They tend to be very quick during the Golden Call!)

Viper5555,
yes, Emirates tends to look for young crew. Only around 10% of the new hires are over 30. The upper age limit is 34.
Yes, your tattoo is a problem. Do not mention it, cover it all times. (If it gets discovered, you will be sent home.) I would have it removed if I were you.
Try Etihad as well: somehow they seem to prefer a bit more the mature applicants. (Correction: they used to prefer. They just started hiring again... There was an AD in London a couple days ago. I'm sure there will be more events.) Try to attend the open days/assessment days with outstanding grooming!!! (For Etihad: ONLY skirt.)

I'm not interested in reading back, I would like answers from those who recently recieved final approval.
Thank you.
P.s If you paid attention to the wording of my post you will notice I NEVER referred to MY approval, but approval in general.

letter of confirmation of resignation
pipita
I remember at the end of the conract there was a template of how it should look?And I think it should be on the company letterhead.Not to sure, I'm sure you will find it on the candidate portal.

Thank you yellybaby for your reply!!
I´m waiting for my final approval after my medicals so I dont have the resignation part available in my portal yet.. That´s the reason why I can´t know how it looks like or if I can find some additional info. in that part different from what my contract says.
I didnt receive my final approval but I´ll resign from my current job and I want to make sure that with that template printed and signed it´s ok.
Thank you again for your reply!!
About your question regarding final approval...I submitted all my medical on August 20th and I still dont have any news...I think that depends on the DOJ you have, but there are cases where final approval took 4 weeks....
Good luck to everyone attending to od and ad´s and for those waiting for gc and final approvals...!!!!

Yellybaby and Pipita
Hey Pipita old friend, long time no "hear" hehe... My experience: I've been waiting 5 weeks (due to my 3 months sign off period they probably weren't in a hurry to contact me)... anyway, I sent a query after 5 weeks, no response, then I sent an e-mail and finally got a reply, they told me that some things were not ok and had to be redone / rewritten etc... (As your DOJ is same as mine, I think they are also not in a hurry with a reply to you). Contact them after a couple of weeks if you don't have any response then.. Concerning confirmation of resignation letter: It has to be on the company's letterhead, stamped and signed (and then it is an official document, no matter if handwritten or printed). My personal view is: the template is computer written and nothing about handwritten is mentioned (plus it's a bit more state-of-the-art to print it), so my vote goes for the printed version (shall I send you template, my dear?)
Yellybaby, reading back in the thread as Mari advised will answer almost every question you have.
Give it a try, it's worth it! See it from this point of view: as you also are a member for quite a while now, you know that a couple of experienced people (present cabin crew) take their time regularly and answer us wannabe's questions. I really admire this effort and I think your reaction ("I am not interested in reading back") is not the attitude we should have in this forum? Needless to say that it is very tiring to answer the same questions every day.... I hope you can see my point! Generally (my experience plus what I read): I can say: waiting periods are between one day and many, many weeks (or months). So many factors, it would be irresponsible to mention a time frame.
Now sorry for talking to much, a nice evening to all of you!

Sorry to hear you haven't received an invite. Yes, sadly, when it comes to East Africa, more often than not you will have 98% ladies and 2% gentlemen during the AD. Therefore in 100 invitees, you'll have only 2 gentlemen. I say fly to Dubai and try attending an AD from there. Never stop hoping. All the best *smile*
p.s - I agree with Seja. Respect must be paid to Mari, and whatever she says, she says from experience. And thank you Saab for the heads up! Cheers!

I did not intent to be disrespectful, but this is a forum, meaning a platform where we can discuss various topics, this is not a search engine, otherwise I could simply enter phrases into Google and read the answers on my own. My point being the objective here is interaction, not research.
I agree Mari has taken lots of her time, out of a very busy schedule to share her experience and knowledge with us wannabe’s. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful for every piece of information. But I feel it necessary to add that some of her responses are condescending, borderline rude. So I don’t care how much experience you have or how much time you have taken to answer questions, or even how many times you have answered the same question, it’s simply no excuse to say what you want.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion and if in your opinion a question is unnecessary or stupid, simply refrain from answering. It's as simple as that. Like your mother probably said to you when you were little, if don't have anything nice (in this case also constructive) to say, rather say nothing at all. There's no rule stating you are only entitled to a certain amount of questions per topic is there? And if you feel something has been discussed to much and its old news to you, move on to another forum then.
I apologise to those not interested in this discussion but I just wanted to tell my side.
