Hey hahamong,
I wouldn't stress. I think you should proceed with lodging your application online.... I put my application in online on the 7th of September and received an email in less than 24hrs inviting me to attend an OD in Brisbane on the 11th of September. I am not sure if it will be different for you as its an AD but definitely still put in your application online. You got nothing to lose.
Hope that helps.... good luck!

Hahamong,
you will receive an invitation if there are spots available. Send your application and you will see. If not this time, next time.
Irishmanc,
they won't take you at 39 in the Middle-East. Sorry. (About the gay thing: nobody cares.) You should try the UK. I think BA is hiring soon.
Steward,
there is no clear answer. Did you register for the OD before? (I advise everyone NOT to register for ODs. If you make it to the FI you can register the previous night, it's fine.) If you didn't there is nothing to worry about. If you did: you will see... If they ask you (they will: there is a questionaire) tell "No" (I mean tick the "no" answer on the paper.)
Justin,
have you ever attended any Emirates OD? Why do you have the impression that only extremely good looking people are accepted? You need to be presentable for sure. However, I've just met a girl whoose skin was terrible and she was hired recently. (She must have had lots of make-up on...) There is one thing about men: they don't take bold guys.

Fresh Meat
Hi all,
Just want to say hello, I'm new here. I've been reading this thread for 2 days now (right from the first post!) and I am now even more motivated to have a go and apply for a cabin crew position with Emirates. I would especially like to thank Mari for her INVALUABLE posts, they are full of SO much information I could never find anywhere else! I feel alot more confident now that I know what to expect from from the recuitment process.
Is anyone else here thinking about applying to attend the Assesment Day in Sydney, Australia on Saturday 9 October 2010?
Even the first question on the application, "Include why you would like to work for the Emirates Group" has me stumped. I'm assuming they would like to show them my knowledge of the company. I don't want to stuff it up!
Wish me luck!
Sam

Miyako dear my FI was on 10 May and recieved the GC on 21 August!! I know how you feel, but you need to stay calm.Did you you use the number I gave you? I'm leave the 4th of October, so waiting long does not mean you are not going to make it, especially if they called you.Otherwise they could have just sent the rejection mail.Please pm me if I can help, I just emailed the one RO today and recieved a response in a hour.

reply to purelife and bellabella
thank you for your reply purelife. i went to the OD in brissie with a ponytail but was very disappointed as i did not get a call back from them for an interview.
hey bellabella congrats you got through to the final interview!! i hope you get the GC soon!! what did you think of the others who got through to the interviews? did you think there were any similar characteristics among those who made it? the od on 11 sept was my very first one so i wasn't too sure what they were looking for apart from looking well groomed? i would be attending another od as we can go again if we do not make it to the first round of interviews if i am right?

50/50 only exists with the meaning YES or NO. You can not guess, you can only wait.
I just got my not successful mail today, exactly 6 weeks after my FI. My references were not contacted at all, I think the decision is made mostly according to your FI
I really thought I will make it, I have all the necessary, except the ability to sell myself. I think I'm a really good work force, but I am not able to show it outside work, someone has to observe me, witch of course is more fair, then how you can talk about yourself, but it's not possible.
My advice for everybody:
Prepare to that FI, cause that will make the decision, and I don't mean the grooming, cause that's obvious, but take all your life story's, witch could be used as answers and color them in your head, to make you appear as the knight in shining armor, even if you were the scared rabbit...
GOOD LUCK to everybody! Hope you will make it!

Hahamong, Mariemi and keke
hahamong: Don't stress so much about the pictures!! for my final interview the photos i gave were TERRIBLE!!! really, but I had no time to re do them, and I got through!! so don't worry so much about that, apply now! What's meant to be will happen...even with good or bad photos 
Mariemi: DO NOT say you are fluent in a language if you are not, in my OD our recruiters told us to only put the languages we are fluent (speak, write, read) in, because there could be a chance were they can put you in a flight were you are the only one who can speak a certain langauge, so you have to be fluent in it!
Why would you like to work for the Emirates Group is not such a hard question, and they do not expect a whole essay... I like interacting with people, I love to travel and meet different cultures, etc! You should really think: why do I want to work there? And you will be able to write something nice
Keke: Im so sorry to hear that... but im sure God has a better plan for your life, because what's meant to be happens...
The best of luck to all

My friend who interviewed in June, had calls from EK and one more form required. The entire time her status said In Progress...today 3 months later it said Not Successful.. do not be fooled if you are waiting so long to hear or if you have In Progress in your status...

Samantha in Sydney
Hi Sam
Go for the open day! I don't think it really matters if you apply online or not, as you don't need to be registered for the open day - I think that if you do apply online you'll be given a candidate number which can be used to track your application if you're successful in getting through to the final interview! Basically on the open day you show up (looking immaculate in a knee length skirt, skin coloured tights and appropriate shoes) with your resume and photo of you in business attire. I daresay Syd will be like the Brissie open days, the last one I went to in July there was about 150 people...make sure you get there EARLY! The recruitment girls will show you some dvd's on emirates and dubai, have a question and answer session and then will take everyones resume one by one - this gives you about 2-3 minutes to absolutely shine and give them a reason to call you back! If you are successful, they'll call you back for the next day and if you're successful then you'll get called for a final interview. I've been to two open days so far and it is easy to feel intimidated, but just make sure you smile and look them in the eye!
For the online question about why you want to work for emirates - well, why do you want to work for emirates? Is it for the opportunity to travel, or because you want to get more customer service experience, or because you're looking for something completely different from a 9-5 desk job? I don't think you can really have a wrong answer, just be honest because they will know when you're being fake and when you're being real!
Good luck!!

i stressed about the picture cause i read that you have to be neat and well groomed to be accepted for an interview for emirates that's why i even went to a hairdresser and everything,now that i applied before less than 10 days do i still have chance to get the invitation or do they stop looking at the application when it's only one week before?
as Mari said that if they have a spot left,and i know in my country the appliers are hundreds and hundreds girls so i'm confident anymore

MissB & Open Days
Thank you for your kind words and advice MissB! You are a gem
I'm starting to think that maybe I should attend an OD/AD at a later date. The reason is that my current lease for my apartment doesn't end until February 2011 and if by chance I DID get offered a CC position now, I'm not sure that they would appreciate me asking for a DOJ 6 months away! I simply cannot afford to break my lease so early, it will cost me thousands!
Does anyone know how often the Open Days are held? I have read past posts and saw that the last one in Sydney was 28 August 2010, and the next one is 9 October 2010. Is it safe to assume they are around every 6-8 weeks? Someone please let me know. I'm just hoping with all the new fleet arriving that they will still be recruiting alot of people at the beginning of next year.
Keep up the great posts and good luck to you all!
