can someone please explain what it means when you get a sticky thread and can't see your post?
Here's the whole thing, with a link to the thread:

where i went wrong for the OD?help, advices, critisicm!
yesterday i went for the OD (in Mauritius)
there was around 1000 hopefuls.
I thought i will make it till the AD, however i did not get the phone call inviting me for the AD.
For the OD, i was dressed neatly-
black skirt and suit, and black blouse.
I wore skin colored stockings, black court shoes, good makeup - light pink colored lips, transparent nail polish, neat bun!
however, i when i smile- my teeth do not show up- because they are not straight- one of them is slightly backward
the recruiting officer (ro) just asked me the following
ro- so what do you do in life
me: last week i graduated from university with an undergrad degree in finance.
ro: do you work?
no, i am currently not working, as last week i graduated. I am looking for jobs and emirates recruitment falls right.
But, since the age of 10 years i am helping my father in our family business. he has a small supermarket and for more than 10 years am working with him- unofficially as am not being paid. i pretty much do everything- dealing with clients, cashier everything.
she then asked my passport picture and i gave her a mid length picture
ro: can i have your passport picture please
me: oh i was tired, i dont really look as good as in my mid length picture. will you have the mid length picture?
ro: yes yes no problem
i gave her my picture and she told me ok please wait there now.
we talked for only 20-30 seconds, thats all!
then i went to see some videos, and we were told if we would be successfull, we will be called by 7pm..! but unfortunately i didnot get any call..
am still pondering why, why and why?
where did i go wrong?
i could not stop crying yesterday, whole night. because :
1) i took much time going through all these links/threads on pprune (i read nearly all of them)
2) I spent much money on pictures, makeup, shoes (i didnot had court shoes)
3) I promised my parents once i manage to get the job of a FA, i will help them financially by sending them part of my salary as i am not from a well-off background
4) Its the first time i was rejected for a job..
however today, am still down but determined to go further than the screening round when they come to recruit next time.
I am posting links to the picture i gave the recruiting officer + my curriculum vitae
Can you guys please advice me where i should improve??
any criticisms are welcome. I will take them positively and build on that.
Link to pictures

on what aspect must i improve?
am sorry its a bit blurred. but however it the picture i submitted WAS NOT blurred.
here is the link to my Curriculum Vitae
again what i should add, remove, improve?

miss candy - It is really not wise to put your picture and CV up and invite criticism, especially in here where the overwhelming majority have no more idea than you of what "it" is that the recruiters are looking for - indeed, many of them are too lazy to bother reading previous posts on the thread or to string a partly coherent post together and know virtually nothing about the airline business and less about life in the Middle-East.
Your concerns about ears and hair are irrelevant - If either was the sole basis for your recruitment, than that would hardly constitute an employer worth working for. As a human being, you are by definition, a thing of beauty...
I can assure you that Shakespeare features nowhere in the procedures of Emirates Open Days.
You're a good kid who had a tough break - It happens. Don't beat yourself up about it. Try again, if you must - and come back stronger and wiser

First attempt with Emirates: didn't make it at the open day
Secon attempt: didn't make it after the second group discussion
Third attempt: made it to the FI.
I hope this helps.

My status has changed, after one week from FI.It reads approval in progress.And I've also received an e-mail with an image and uniform document.
it's this a good sign?because the Ro left to Dubai last wednesday, i think.

Simy_123- How many made it to the FI? I have a friend who was going but I havent been able to get a hold of her to find out it she made it through? I can PM the name if theres a chance you might remember?
I havent posted here in a while but for all who are applying or waiting on GC it is so worth the waiting and the effort. I've just had my second supy flight and it was so amazing. If you have any questions please PM me and I can try my best to answer, although I know theres more senior CC on here who maybe answer somethings better than I.

Yesterday was the first of the two ADs here in Argentina!
I didn't apply this time but I know several mates from an argentinian forum who did (including sheer-luck from this forum) and another bunch is sweating today on the second AD, hope they do well
I can't wait to hear the outcome!
I wonder how many people showed up, I don't know if it's a very popular job or not here for the relocating in Dubai thing. But next year EK is opening flights to Buenos Aires via Rio so maybe it'll gain popularity, who knows!
There's another AD being held in June, I can't apply for that one either but hopefully they'll have another towards the end of this year and then I'll try. In the mean time I'm going through this thread since nšI (currently in VI), copying the most useful posts in a .doc and making notes.

Account Info/Question
Hi Everyone
I had my FI in Dubai in April 2010 and in May 2010 I had gotten rejected. Now it's been a year and Emirates will be having an open house day on May 28th in Toronto. I will be going to that. I was writing to ask if you guys recommend I make a new profile? or log in to my old one? and change it a bit on the Emirates career website? Please recommend
Thanks!
Is anyone else going to the Toronto Open Day?

UK wannabes
Hi,
I had my FI beginning of April in the UK and am wondering if anyone who had their FI in the UK has heard anything yet? My status changed to approval in progress about 3 weeks and am still waiting.
Anyone else in the same position? It seems that a lot of people on here that got to the FI stage late March/April have heard something however they are not from the UK. Can anyone explain why this is?
Thanks in advance.

Approval in progress only means your application is waiting for approval. Don't forget all applications are reviewed by HH or a guy who has the final saw in the HR department (not sure if all CC's applications are reviewed by HH). Some got AIP and got a rejection email while others stayed UR and received the GC. I heard some in UK got their GC (on another forum). Don't worry : there is still few people who did their FI in March/April who await an answer.
Torontofly,
Good luck for your coming shining day and congrats on your perseverance.
You don't have to change your account because they will ask you if you attend OD/AD/FI in the past, but you can register online for Toronto's OD and update your profile.
Keep us posted on how it went. Do you know anyone who passed their FI in March from YYZ?

Approval in progress is 99% you got the job.
All that happens after this is some background checks and referee checks (they never checked my referees though).
Only if there is a problem with one of the above will you be rejected after 'approval in progress'.
They tell everyone that the applications go to HH, however this rarely happens. They are approved by the SVP of training college.
Recruitment is in overdrive.. I heard from some of the trainers that they are looking at taking 9-10 new batches a week. Split up into Morning, Afternoon, and Evening sessions. The training college will be bursting, however they need to do this to cope with the expansion plans, as well as compensate for all the people who have just resigned after receiving the profit share.
So in other words its looking good! ha ha

Nice to hear from you Perkin1. I remember when I joined, you had been waiting 3-4 months to get your GC. How did your training go? Are you on A380? Is their one thing you wish you had been told not to forget to pack on your way to DBX?

Perkin:
That sounds promising but its like torture waiting! I just want to hear something. Would they leave us this long waiting and still send out a rejection? Also they mentioned at the FI holidays pre-booked will be honored as they have training right through the year? I put down a week that I have pre-booked with the family, do you think they would consider this before offering a DOJ?
Zarah:
Are you still waiting? how long has it been for you? Have you heard anything at all?
Thanks guys
