EK Recruitment
Hi all, i went to an EK recruitment day about year and a half ago, in Melbourne, Australia, didnt have any flying experience at that point but had heaps of hospitality experience. There were well over 200 people there, i didnt get through. Honest opinion, i am wondering if my age and gender has something to do with it. I am male and have just turned 42, so when i went for EK open day i was 40. Do you think that this has anythying to do with it. I am now with another airline but would love to work for EK.. can anyone shed any light on this

Hi everyone!
A (belated) Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy New Year to everyone!
I just wanted to drop in and say a big hello to everyone. And a big congratulations to gallery (I think) from Uganda who's heading to Dubai! (I may be wrong- maybe I should re-read this thread again).
Anyway, I'm excited since my 6 months will be up in a little under two months- March 12th! So I'll be ready to apply for a March or Paril AD!
*fingers crossed*
I know that kenya85, myself and a few other people in this corner of the world will be getting together to prep for the AD. So if anyone wants to join us, just let us know (just pm me or kenya85).
Otherwise, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS
to everyone who's made it through to Dubai. Hopefully, I'll be seeing you there later on this year! Just keep us posted on how the entire experience is going for you.

Unfortunately it is unheard of for EK to hire people 30 + ...
The oldest i've heard of making it through was 32yrs of age, and that's a rarity (anyone knows of anyone older)
There was a male at my Sydney open day, he looked around mid to late thirties and had worked for 3 or 4 different airlines: BA, QF, JQ etc (15 years experience).
He didn't make it past the CV drop...
And those of us who made it to the FI, most of us were 21-24.. the eldest i believe was 27.
I have zero flying and very little hospitality experience.. so i think it comes more down to their impression of you as a person and how you do throughout the assessments.
While they don't say anything about maximum age officially (in Aus this would be illegal) but i'm guessing the recruiters are instructed generally not to choose people aged 30 +
Not fair at all really but hey that's the middle east for you.

Sorry man, but Perkin1 is right. If you read back, you can see that one aussie (not sure) guy made it at the age of 34 and that one girl who recently joined EK had some 30+ people in her batch. But it is really rare.
No wonder there are many many younger applicants to choose from. I am struggling with "age question" every single day and I am "only" 30. It sucks but thats how it is.

hi guys
it's been a week now from my final interview and i wanted to ask some questions if that will affect the results
first i didn't even last 30min on the interview when others stayed one hour and more,they tricked me on a question and i ended up saying that i get angry when its crowded and noisy so they started laughing and told me that is a bad thing since i have to keep it positive since the flights are always so crowded so yeah that broke my hopes to the ground,plus that i sounded SOOO nerveous and after this they told me to take that "logical" test and others didn't take it
is it a positive or a negative thing to take (or not that test) and do you think i have to keep my hopes up even after the answer i gave?
also i applied already for an assessment three months ago and i didn't go but i still have application under review on my profil,will that effect the results?
i will be so thankfull if you answer my questions
i m so scared that i just passed by one big opportunity

hi durban girl,looks like you and i have been waiting around the same time.did you update your profile after the invitation to the assesment?did you send some documents by mail?i think this could be the cause of our delay.
Last week some girls received their regrets and yesterday two girls received their golden calls.meanwhile,no status change,no nothing.what does your status read?
hi ellie 22,have you tried calling them?its past the 6 weeks and i'm sure the waiting is killing you.i think you should call.what does your status read?
little dazzling
i noticed from your previous posts that it also took longer for your status to change from applied.had you updated your profile/application after you were invited to the assessment?
I'm trying to figure out why mine hasn't changed 14 days after my FI....
Congratulations for your golden call.

Doz_kenya- My status still says 'under review' it hasnt changed at all 
Perhaps I should call...I sent them an email a few days ago but I havent heard back, but from what I've read its not unusual for them not to write back to emails..
