Youyito, thank you very much for your encouragement. Your words really give me hopes and strenght to go on.
Unfortunately, I really have to wait six months before attending another OD- the told us so and asked us to fulfill a paper with the last events we had attended for.
Any way, thank you again
Best wishes

Just in case
Hello Everyone,
I was also worried about finding the proper attire to wear for my pictures to upload onto the website for the initial application. My friend rushed me and I thought I wouldn't be successful, but took a full length picture with my mobile phone any way and uploaded it. I was at work & wore my work uniform (with flat shoes) which isn't business attire, but I was still invited to the AD on 11 Dec.
SO... I would definitely advise to put effort into the pictures you send, i.e business attire, make-up (ladies) and clear background, but if circumstances don't allow it and you're rushed, still give it a try. You might just be lucky
Best of luck
P.S Just to make it clear, this was for the online application, not the Final Interview.

Hi All,
I attended the OD in Trinidad on Saturday 27th November, at the Hilton Hotel and Conference Centre, this was my second OD this year. I would like to share my experience with you.
I arrived at 8.30am as the day’s proceedings were scheduled to begin at 9.00am. I was directed to the Flamingo room down the hall. When I enter there were a lot of people sitting there already. I said good morning and smiled and found a seat near to some ppl that I know.
I wore a dark grey tweed type skirt suit (long sleeve jacket and mid knee skirt, as req on the invitation email) and a black shirt with a collar underneath. Skin colored stockings and black court shoes with a 2 1/2” heal. I had a black briefcase type portfolio and a regular sized hand bag, black. I wore smokey eye make-up, red lipstick and a Smile.
At appr. 9.10am the EK recruiters came into the room said good morning and introduced themselves as Jeanette and Chelsea. They thanked us for coming out so early on a Saturday and asked us to leave the room so that they could set up, at this point there were about 70 of us in the room.
We all left and stood in the hall mingling, meeting friends of friends and trying to maintain a happy disposition. After some time they invited us into another room and offered us some literature on the company and a slip to fill out with your name the date, your online reference number and 3 questions (if I remember correctly.
Have you ever attended an EK screening? ____YES ____ NO __________DATE
Have you ever interviewed with EK? ____YES ____ NO __________DATE
Have you ever attended EK OD? ____YES ____ NO __________DATE
We found our seats and fill out the slip. At this point more ppl were arriving Jeanette also stressed the importance of being on time as it is important for CC to be on time and “the aircraft won’t wait for you” (I think she was a bit annoyed that she had to keep leaving the room to get hotel staff to source more chairs).
We look at a couple EK presentation DVD’s about life in Dubai, CC experiences, the A380 shower spa (very exciting stuff) the history of Emirates Airlines etc, etc. After every couple presentations we had a Q&A session, Mostly about what we knew about the Airline. Jeanette asked most of the questions. I didn’t answer any, but this one girl (who was horribly dress) kept standing up to answer the questions, she was wrong every time. To me if you don’t know, don’t answer unless they ask you for a guess. I mean these were current events and company history questions they were asking this clearly shows lack of research and quite frankly I think it is embarrassing. She was a bit annoying but I kept smiling.
Then Chelsea took the floor and shared with us real life experiences of herself and some of her old colleagues. She started by telling us of her OD experience in Brisbane Australia. Then she share with us some bad CC experiences including one where a friend of hers was administering CPR to a heart attack victim and vomited in her mouth before dying in her arms (ewww gross) and a scary experience of another friend who had to help a pregnant pax in labour control her contractions till they landed so she would be able to deliver safely at a hospital (two that stood out to me) both scary but both reality. I really appreciated her being real with us and letting us know of the not so glamorous aspects of being EK CC, so we would be better able to assess if we really wanted to pack up and leave our families to possibly have an old man die in our arms or deliver a baby on a long haul flight.
After this we were invited to come up one at a time to hand in our CV’s and photo and to have a “little chat” with them. They also told us that if we were successful at this stage they would call us by 6pm that afternoon and invite us to AD and if we were not, that we can feel free to reapply after 6 months. This was a pain staking nerve wrecking time for me because I was about 15 rows back and some ppl were jumping spots so it was longer than necessary for me, but I said to myself “you took the day off of work to get this, you don’t have anything else to do or anywhere else to be, so keep that smile on your face and be patient”. When I got close enough I tried to listen to the types of questions they were asking and tried to prepare my answers.
Finally it was my turn. I waited for Jeanette to invite me to sit. I went over, said good morning, extended my hand for a shake and introduce myself with a smile and sat down. I gave her my CV and my photos. She verified my contact number, my age and D.O.B and my highest level of education. She then ask me where I worked at the time and if I enjoyed it, also why I want to become CC (I was a little shocked at this question, I expected it to be a FI question). She asked if I had and questions and I did. I asked her what was the difference between main fleet and A380 and how could I get A380 fleet. She said the main difference is that A380 is long haul flight and the training is different and if I wanted A380 I had to be sure to mention it at FI. I thanked her for her responses and she thanked me for my time, we shook hands again and said our goodbyes, and that was it I was finished.
Now all I had to do was wait on the call. So I waited and waited and then it was 6.00pm and them 6.30pm and I DIDN’T get a call back.
I did my own analysis of my performance and I think I did ok except for the smokey eye. I think my make up was too overwhelming and it could have thrown off my otherwise professional appearance and as we all know image is very important to EK recruiters. Other than that I may have been too vague in my responses to the questions (I didn’t want to be too wordy) and I think at some points I lost eye contact with her and appeared timid and a bit shy. Anyway this is just my opinion, there is no way for me to be entirely sure of my weakness as they cannot give feedback on this. One thing I am sure of is I will most definitely be reapplying in 6 months. I will use this time to improve on my CV probably do some cooperate training courses and work on my public speaking skills.
To all of you who were given the opportunity to move forward, best of luck to you be yourself and give it your all. To the one who are attempting for the first time, do not let anyone persons’ experiences limit or discourage you. We will all have our own unique experiences good and not so good, of which you may be guided, but no two persons will experience the exact same thing, your experience will be your own.
I am eternally grateful for all the experiences posted and all the comments and advice, I will continue reading for a further 6 months and maybe my next post will be one of success.
Best of Luck to you all

Thank you for your nice words dear! I received the e-mail after 5 weeks and 5 days after the FI, and submitted the pending documents a week after FI. I think, then, that something went wrong at the FI and next time I should be better prepared and I have plenty of time to do so! Hugs from here too, you're very supportive, I appreciate it!

Hello everyone.
Ally23x: thnks now I understand what is that application status online, I was wondering, and I think I will not do it, because they didn't ask to anyone...
p.s. and i'm already going crazy with my cellphone ring...
youyito: I know who you are!! finally I find someone in the foruns with the same OD. you are the spanish boy with the big spanish accent!! hahah, I'm iara I think you had the FI before me.
In my group, one girl received the rejection e-mail last week, and nothing more... and I don't know if the e-mail was from uk or dubai.
I think my 4/6 weeks of waiting will not start since the day I sent the passport, because in the FI I told them that I could send a new passport, and she said to not worry about, because if they will need it they will ask me, and that happened... and they answered saying that the proccess was sent to dubai, and nothing about the waiting time... we should keep in touch*
Mliz: I received my answer in the same day I sent the documents. and the e-mail was for emirates uk.

Al Razooki
From what I know:
Apartments are quite new, and big. Some SFS/Purser live there as some has single apartments. Furniture is nice from photos I saw.
It is near Sharjah, so not unfortunately in the center of town. But- as I said before, it is easy (and free!) to take the company bus. Cabs are a bit more expensive out here, but compared to other parts of the world, they are cheap.
Do not forget you can apply to move if you really hate it, but people I know who live there seem quite happy. I've heard it;s nicer than Al Qusais.
Here is a Wiki about the area:
Al Nahda, Dubai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a supermarket in this building (handy!)
Danny 21,
If you went to OD and did not pass the CV screening to go to the AD, you do not have to wait 6 months.
Sometimes it's just a matter of there being too many people to properly stand out. Try again, I kept trying and I did got in eventually. Many many many tries later!!
If you go to the group activity part and fail, then yes you must wait 6 months.

Online status
Hi all,
I had my FI on 22 Nov and passed all the required documents before they left, I have been told that within 4-6 weeks I will receive email to notify the positive or negative results...
I register and complete the online application on Emirates Career site before I went to OD (I have apply two, 'Register your interest as cabin crew vacancies' and 'Open Day' for that particular that I went). Without any invitation I just went to OD!
During that day we given a slip to fill up some info including the reference number of online application, I didn't as I don't remember it!. Everything goes smoothly and after the FI, I update the online application for my photos (just to replace the old ones with a more professional looks and better smile)
But from the day 1 until now the status still showing "Applied" for both! Anyone of you having same situation? As this is the only way we can track our status within the long waiting, seeing only "Applied" make me nervous! Some of you have receive email to notify the file have sent to Dubai, but I didn't! So I just wondering which day should I start counting for the 4-6 weeks.
Hope you guys could give some info on that, and wish all of us flying with Emirates soon!
*Hugs*

Amman, Jordan applicants?
Hello,
There was recently an Assessment Day in Amman, Jordan. I know several people, all currently flying with another airline, who attended the information session/group interview on October 7, 2010.
Only about 20 applicants made the Final Interview, several Jordanians, Thais, Africans and I believe a local Spanish fellow.
The final interviews were held on two days, October 9-10 I believe. Out of the 8 people I know (or, know of to be more accurate), 7 of them got rejection emails after 23 days, November 2nd. One girls didn't hear anything from Emirates for what seemed like forever. They recruiters told all Final Interviewees that if they heard nothing from the recruitment team after 6 weeks to email them and inquire about their interview status. She emailed at exactly 6 weeks, November 21st. No reply.
Monday, November 29th, she came home from a flight and found a missed call, country code 971- on her mobile. She called back Wednesday morning, December 1st and an Emirates employee answered to her surprise and guarded excitement. She was transferred to another department after explaining her situation. She was forced to leave a message as nobody answered.
Now the waiting game and the anxiety continues. Could the November 29th call been her Golden Call? Its been nearly 8 weeks since her Final Interview and she waits with anticipation, anxiety, hope and fear!
We've followed this forum since her Final Interview and have learned a lot and read a lot that gives further hope, with a few examples or rejection even after several months of waiting. Her Emirates account has remained "Under Review" from day one, never changing.
Waiting patiently. Wondering if there are any others on this board who attended the Amman, Jordan interview in October? Anybody?
Good luck to all of those who are preparing for an upcoming interview, those who are waiting for results, and to those who have received their Golden Call and are preparing to go to Dubai. For those who have received rejection emails or calls, if it is your dream, keep trying, you can do it!!!
Good luck to all!
Here's a review of the above dates:
10/7 Group interview in Amman, Jordan
10/9-10 Final Interview, about 20 applicants over two days
10/15 Friend sent additional information to concerning referees
11/2 Seven people that I know of received rejection emails
11/21 Friend emailed Emirates after 6 weeks and no results
11/29 Missed call on mobile from Dubai number (971-)
12/1 Friend called (971-) number, left message with Emirates
????? - Waiting (fingers crossed)

Hello Youyito,
Yes, I sent the docs straight to Dubai since on my papers I had the Dubai e-mail address. The rejection e-mail was sent from the Emirates Group Careers e-mail, the same from which everyone receives the confirmation e-mail after applying for OD/AD.
Maybe only the UK office sends these confirmations...I don't know...

For the resignation, I can't answer it since I was unemployed. But I read here in the forum that like around one week or so. Don't worry,it will get to you. Sometimes, it just really last minute but it will so don't be antsy.
As for my e-ticket,it was uploaded in my portal a week before my departure date. My e-visa was uploaded 5 days before I leave. I got my accomodations details the same time they uploaded my e-visa if I remember it correctly.
Hahah! Don't be,enjoy the time you have left in Auckland.
I hope that helps

Try to submit a query in your portal and let them know you already uploaded it so they could update it. We just met today the HR people and they are pretty busy so you just really have to be patient
