Approval in Progress
Guys, thanks so much for all the info and this is really a good site for cc wannabes, I learned alot!
I just check my status this morning and it finally change from APPLIED to APPROVAL IN PROGRESS!!! I am so happy and excited this moment althought it may sounds too early for some of you, but this is the only update I get after 16 days from my FI! So I am expecting more to come now, do I have higher chances to get GC from the status given? I know I may ask silly question but really hope to get some clues over here..
Thanks in advance!

Recruitment freeze during recession
Hey Youyito,
Yes during the global financial crisis, Emirates put a hold on their recruitment. Some people already received the GC and completed the medicals, and Emirates reimbursed some of them (not all) for the cost of the medicals. They got an email saying due to the GFC they could not continue with the application. Then when they started hiring again, EK sent emails to the people who already got the GC asking if they're still interested in the job, and if so, to attend another interview. The interview was more casual, just asking what they had been doing since the recession hit and how they felt when their application was put on hold. Most people who returned for the second interview eventually got the job, but believe it or not, some got rejected!!! Can you imagine - they got the job the first time, but rejected the next. Now that would be heartbreaking, I could not imagine anything worse. Only reason I know is because I have relatives who already work for EK who told me about this.
Anyway I hope I have not worried you! Just thought I would share this because it's quite interesting. And to the people receiving on hold emails, I'm pretty sure you guys are in. The training is probably just full so they need to put you on hold till there's more space. Like someone said, if you're rejected, they would just send you the "no thanks" email.
Good luck guys, keep the faith!

Hello!
Were you able to upload your resignation letter BEFORE your medicals were approved? Do I have to just wait for my medicals to be approved before I can do anything? Is the final approval in an email and does it ask you to resign?
Thanks!
Sam

No problem I think this is different to the recruitment freeze during the recession. I'm pretty sure training is just very busy, so they need to prioritize who joins first based on language/gender requirements. Your turn will come and it shouldn't be too long. My cousin who works for EK told me she has met a few abinitios recently who got this email not long ago, and just recently started training.
Good things come to those who wait You will see

Please Help
hey all,
Congratulations to all those who have received their GCs and for those who are waiting don't lose hope.
My AD is one day away en am trying not to be nervous. so basically after reading the forum from 2008 I have learnt that smiling is ESSENTIAL, keeping eye contact with the recruiters, not being a leader, not too quiet, not interuppting others during group discussions, not disagreeing with other peoples contributions, confidence, friendly, audible, supporting your answers with examples, being organized, Smart, minding ones body language.
Is their anything else I may have left out or didn't get right? Your responses will highly be appreciated...

Eye test
want to fly, thanks so much I hope it will be true Don't you worry, you have our best wishes to get it, too! Finger crossed!
One thing I am concern is about the eye test, I have severe short sightedness/myopia(-10.00 each eye, sounds terrible right?) and astigmatism, will these affect the medical? I wearing spec and contact lenses alternatively.
Anyone having similar situation?

hi there, I'm filling the personal details in the online joiners. and it has a "required field" that is religion, but they don't have the option of Agnostic. they have options like muslim christian taoist and "not willing to declare". I can't find an answer on the FAQ. does anyone knows something about it??

In the UAE they take the religion question quite seriously. We been told on our AD but also on the Etihad one to make sure we write a religion on our forms (christian, buddhist etc. something), if you put agnostic, atheist, or nothing that raises questions.. Could cause problems when they try to obtain the visa for you etc.
Just in case put there something, your family`s religion or whatever.
