If it is definitely an Open day and not an assessment day then I see no reason why you should not go? If you feel you are prepared for it and ready to make the move then to go to the OD it can't hurt your chances!! I work for EY and have never been to an EK OD or AD but check back on the forum and find out the company procedure. If they are like EY you only have one day to deal with (AD that is - I've never been to an EY OD) if they are like QR the process lasts for three days if you are successful at the different stages and you will have to determine if that is feesible for you to be prepared/able to be in KL for three days. Good luck.

Al Razooki
What else do you wanna know beside what was mentioned?! You are moving in a couple of days, anyways. If you are really really that curious, write to that 5 people who got Razooki. It would be nice to post your own experience later on.
I doubt that there is anyone who actually likes the area. The area is the disadvantage of This building.

Hey gen6...i dont know the number but i doubt it will speed up the process...if you are a male..we have to wait, at best, for 8-9 weeks...one guy got the call after 9 weeks of waiting..and as you can see, that is, read, in albertotmc case, he waited much, much longer...alberto congratulations btw 
...when is your doj?
i was told on my fi that the answer comes in 6 weeks but...they said it might take longer because they are having problems with the training...i think they meant they have a backlog of males
...but the good news is..it seems that it is speeding up..the guys are starting to get the calls..as i gather, no more on hold e-mails are being sent...so thats good news..and there are a lot of od for march and april, so they need people...we have to be patient...i know its hard to wait, but it will come soon 
..good luck to all

I really hope i learn from all my mistakes last time and the recruiters maybe favour me, Going in full force . I read all the posts and really hope I make it to the FI again and maybe this time to Dubai...Keeping all fingers crossed

@Mari
Hey Mari... how are you doing ??
Yes I did already but most of them are not present on this forum anymore unless maybe "purelife"
But yes I know I moving anyway in a couple of days but of course I'm curious !!
It can not be only bad points about this area, and I was looking for some advantages to live there ?! ((First it is FREE))
If there is any facilities around ?
@Aussie-EmiratesCC I have sent you an PM

xxpaulaxx (swimming test)
hey
no there is no swimming test. all we did was practise an evacuation in the water and we floated around with our life jackets on, this was towards the end of our SEP. There is no testing on your ability to swim clothed especially on the OD... goodluck Im sure you'll do great

Hey, Nanu I actually found the number...it was on the pages you fill in and sign on the assessment day before FI,the yellow pages with the Emirates logo. The numbers are for the HR office in Dubai. I called them today and only voice mail, will call them on Sunday since I know this is their working day, they rest at fri/sat. We'll see 
Also I didn't get any on hold emails or any mails at all.

medical condition: allergic to dust
Hello fellows, last sunday i went to the Open day, i think that i did fine, but i still didnt get the invitation for the assessment day, so i began to think what couldīve happened. Probably they dont invite me because i am allergic to dust, or because i am little bit overweight, i really want to figure it out! what do you think?

keep up the faith,I dont't think that being alergic to dust is an issue,there's no dust on planes and being a bit overweight,like 2-3 kg over your hight is ok,i know that from a friend who made it to the AD (she's 1.65 and 66 kg)

Pictures
I made it to the FI but did not have my casual or full length photos. They told me I could email them. Is it ok that I didn't have them and will they hold that against me? I live 5 hours from where the interviews were and I had no access to any pictures.

Gearing Up
Hi Kassie
I am attending also. This would be my third attempt and I don't intend to give up. This is the career I've always dreamed of since growing up as a child.
One question. Did you have a cover letter with your CV?
On both occassions I had and even though I updated my CV I was unsuccessful.
Any tips you would mind sharing?

Hi Guys, just FYI. i actually called HR yesterday to check my appl progress, it has been over 7 weeks now. I didn't get a lot out of them but he said it is taking a little longer to process at the moment and i should hear back within the next few weeks!
I hope calling them to check doesn't put a black mark against my name though lol.....
Definetly a positive there aren't to many hold emails coming out anymore
@swimming girl re: pictures
As long as you get them in within the two months it says on the form you get before your FI it will be fine! I had my interview in another state of Australia and didn't have anything like that with me, i just sent it through as soon as i got home a few days later!

swimming_gal- I traveled interstate for my interview and I had pretty much nothing that they needed with me, so I emailed it all when I got back home. They definitely dont hold that against you so no need to worry.
Also with calling to follow up on your application, I called a few times to follow up. Its not a problem...as long as your not calling every second day haha
Good luck to all those waiting for GCs.
Anyone else joining 21st March please PM me
