trizakalerwa Have you tried emailing Recruitment and asking about this? Because maybe if it is still pending they'll delay your approval... I wouldn't know for sure of course, so let's hope someone can help you more.
shatinho great description of the selection day! Wish you all the best
Can I ask what were you wearing? How do you feel was the "grooming department" in the rest of the candidates? (males and females, specially the ones who reached FI) Thanks!

Hi Piyal
I'm assuming you got your Golden Call? If so CONGRATS! I know you don't want to celebrate until you get your plane ticket, but you're well on your way

Hi PrimaveraCero
Thank you so much for your well wishes, I really appreciate it
I tried to follow the grooming requirements as I understand them. I wore a black business suit with a long sleeved white shirt, a dark tie and black formal shoes. I personally feel that darker colours work well for job interviews, however that's by no means the standard requirement. All that matters is that you're wearing a suit, long sleeved shirt, tie and formal shoes.
In addition to what I was wearing, I was also clean shaven and my hair was neat. (no spiky hairstyles or wet look)
Most of the people who made it through to the final interviews were well groomed. All the guys wore suits and were clean shaven, the girls were all formally dressed, although some wore thick bright coloured coats which I thought wasn't appropriate. But for the final interview everybody was issued guidelines as to how to dress for the photos and for the final interview. So I'm sure there weren't any colourful coats there

shatinho I don't think I'l be wearing tie as I'm a girl 
But I'm in the hunt for the perfect skirt suit, thing is here in my city most stores have just pants suits, no skirts to be seen!
I was also thinking about getting a dark grey one, would it be OK or would it be best if I stick to black? Wouldn't want to end up having to buy one extra suit for the FI...
What did the guidelines say?
Oh! before I forget, did the girls wear short sleeved blouses or long sleeved? (maybe long in your case as they also had coats) Would it be appropriate to wear a short sleeved blouse underneath the jacket if for instance the assessment was held in summer?
micol Congrats!!! Can I ask what you feel you did different this time comparing with the other two attempts? Thanks!

Hi!
Hi Shatinho!
Wishing you the best. Don't worry, you will get that GC soon!
I am planning to attend the OD in Los Angeles, CA on June 18th. This will be my very first OD ever, so I'm doing as much research as I can.
How were the women dressed up? Were their hair up in a bun? Red Lipstick?
Talk to you soon!

A rather silly question has popped in my mind...
What about the appropriate shoes for women undergoing the selection process?
Pointy or round toes are preferred by EK guidelines? And how high?

simmy_123 if you read the entire thread it'll give you a very good idea of what to expect, people have been explaining and telling their experiences at this selection process for years now.
In fact, if you care to read just a few messages above your own, you'll see a very detailed experience by user shatinho.
Cheers!

PrimaveraCero Thanks for that i have never used this forum before and didnt know how it all worked. Thank you again for you help
With regards to the photos you have all submitted were they professional photos of you in Business Attire or just home photos? I need some advise to what sort of photos i should take with me. And also you talk about the grooming guideline where would i find this?

Just pick shoes you are comfortable in. I saw a girl who had a really perfect professional outfit and red lipstick who didn't make it past first round and another who had a short tight dress and really high heels who made it to the FI.
But as you are getting tips here, I suggest you stick with your business attire and wear some comfortable shoes, I'd say max 3' as you might be there for few hours.
Cheers,
Z

Guys, is it possible that someone can gove some HR number in Emirates?
I still can't find about that period when I can attend some emirates open day after I resign in Qatar Airways.
