Prague
Hello everyone, I attend Emirates open day in Prague. There were about 100 people. And about 60 were invited for AD. Everything went as usual. First group discussion. We had to find out three the most interesting people from this century and said something about person sitting in the right. They said we should have said his or her name, and from where he was and what famous person he would like to be and why. Some people said lots of details but I better not. After that was English test. There were an article about rude girl. There were words like ticking off, take it or leave it, reliable, consider or inadequate and found from second column what it meant. And of course we had also essay and the topic was Our biggest mistake and what we learned from that. After English was group activity and discussion. We were separated to three small groups and had to make the biggest building in Prague. After that we had discussion in these small group. Our topic was found five places in Czech we would recommend to tourists and two we wouldnt recommend. It was last elimination before FI. Those who stayed had to fill papers about themselves. And finally we could go home. FI were on Mo-Wed. I had mine was on Monday and didnt went very well so I dont make any hopes they would hire me.
Anyway I will try Qatar although Im scared what I read about that.
If you have question feel free to ask me. Good luck everyone!!!

Mari, thanks for your response :)
this makes it sound kind of scary, but i guess it cant be that bad since so many are doing it. another silly question, can you take oral contraceptives when youre a FA? you know, to keep the skin under control
Now im waiting for the EK site to upload like everyday with new locations for open days, any ideas if they upload it on a monthly basis or just whenever they feel up to it??

Hey EKgirl,
My DOJ is also on December 27! I am excited. We should exhange facebook info.
Just a question does DOJ mean we fly out on that particular day or we already will be in Dubai?

i just did my medicals here with EK. there were people in my group that had not had vaccines. its no problem. they are super cheap here so dont worry about that. i wish i had waited to get them here, as i spent a lot of money on them back in the states. yellowfever is the most expensive at about $45 USD. in the states it is $120 USD.

In my batch there are 3 people who worked for "low cost airlines".
There is a girl who actually applied 4 times, and in Emirates they told us of his amazing case of a girl who applied 17 times (she started when she was 20 and got the job at 31). Si yes, they can hire you after the 6 months, just be sure to let 6 months pass.
Minimum education is high schoold indeed, no university required, dont worry.
Best of luck!

al garhoud
i live in al garhoud E. there are 7 bldgs A-G. it is walking distance from the training college which in great. also super duper close to airport. the location is ok. there are some things to do out here (google "irish village" and other bars, restaurants) but dubai is not that big and taxis are super cheap and abundant. also the metro is in walking distance. the building itself is "old" in emirates standards as it is the original employee housing. the kitchens could use some updating for sure but i dont cook so i dont care. also, no balcony your building has a pool and a gym- i have to go to building next door for that. supermarket, gas station, etc all around the corner.
just be glad you are placed here as some people in my class are out in nevernever land. you are granted 1 free move within the first year. so i am gonna check out all the other locations/neighborhoods and see which one i like best before i decide i dont like this one
here is my number in dubai 2865180- call me when you arrive as you are going to have tons of questions. also, my email if any questions before you get here [email protected]
congrats on being hired!

Thank you for updated info.
Some girl applied 17 times, hmmmm, we will see if I am better (I have scored only 4 times for now). I think I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Since I am on 6 month ban with all the airlines in ME, I turned my interest into some airlines in the US in between.
jjohns
Thank you for sharing with us. My hope is alive if they still hire 30 something people.

Thank you for sharing your experiece. You made it to the FI and it counts whether you will pass it or not. Are you still with Ser....s? Many girls from Ser..... have joined EK lately. It seems like there will be csa colony in DXB soon.

Thanks for your help! I will definitely consider getting my vaccinations done in Dubai since it's already going to cost a fortune to do blood tests and dentist here in Aus!
Thank you,
Sam
