Doz kenya

Doz Kenya

Hey Doz and everyone else....
Went for my final Interview in Nairobi, Kenya on the 15th of December....its such a long while back and we are on the same page since we are both waiting for their responses. Try and be patient as I also have learnt that this is one virtue we should uphold. Everyone that was in the final interview have all gotten their fate and some are joining in March between 7th and 28th and others got reject mails.
They called me two weeks back to ask for more casual photos and since then they havent gotten back at me. I keep checking if my status has changed and nothing yet. I guess I dont have any other option but to wait and keep praying. All the best to everyone.

hi everyone
i had my F.I yesterday but i didn't do well and i regret using this chance well what meant to be is meant to be ;;
i wanted to ask what decide on the final results,is it the final interview or higher management since the file is sent there? or i think they decided after you had a good final interview but since wasn't my case,did someone make it even after having a bad F.I? lol

ahh by the way, does the I.Q test give a difference since some took it and some didn't
thank you

[dianabasto]

from what I can gather, the recruiters send your file to Dubai with a little note saying they either would or would not recommend hiring you. The final decision lies at Dubai but I think thats just a formality. The recruiters are the ones who met you and spoke to you so I think they get a massive say in it.

But dont worry, I dont think anyone comes out of an interview (for ANY company) feeling like they did really well. People always focus on the bad and think about what they could've done better. You did really well to even get to the FI so they mustve seen something in you they liked. Just wait and see

[isabel66]

@snowglobe

thank you a lot you made me smile,the fact that i think i didn't do well because they wrapped up the interview quickly after i said that i can't stand serving a lot of people at the same time and i loose my smile,well call me stupid but i still don't know why i said that

Aussie-EmiratesCC- Congrats on your GC.
Were you at the Sydney AD in December?
Both myself and another ppruner were there and are yet to hear anything

[ALEX60021]

Hey..

Don't worry about the IQ test. Actually, I don't really know if your IQ is what they wanted to test. I had my FI on 20th of December. At the end of the interview i walked out, exit the building and they called me back and they said if i could take another test. And it was this IQ test actually. So, don't worry. 3 weeks after I got my GC.
So, this process so far:

20 dec-FI...after almost 2 weeks my status changed from Applied to Approval in Progress...and 4 days after I got: " You will be contacted..." and locked out from my account. And the GC was 4 or 5 days after my status changed.

I honestly didn't think I'll make it through. I consider myslef very lucky. So, I know this waiting is incredible hard but keep believing and do not lose your hope! At my FI it was a girl who tought it was that bad at the interview and she said she failed and didn't want to send them the rest of the documents. They emailed her and asked for the documents. After that she got the GC!
And by the way...as far as i know, all of us who took the IQ test got the GC.

don't worry
As far as I know, yes it's a littble bit too early. After my FI i did some research on this forum and there were many girls who had news after a week or two..In my case didn't happen that soon, so it's ok. You could still get the GC.

Best of luck!

is anyone of you joining on 21 March?

Congrats Aussie-EmiratesCC! Ellie22 and I were both at the AD in Sydney on the 12th of december and are still waiting. When did you receive your golden call and did you have a status change on the emirates group website?

[doz kenya]

All the best to everyone waiting with me.

[perkin1]

Aussie-EmiratesCC

Hey,
i came through the same open day in Sydney on Oct 9/10 and FI on the 12th.

Are you one of the guys or girls?

Me being a male am still waiting for the call.... crazy!!

My status changed to approval in progress like 8 days after my FI, then got the uniform/image form a couple weeks later, then nothing until i got an on hold email on Dec 7 saying i would have to wait up to a further three months...

I called my recruitment coordinator and she said i had been selected and am just waiting for a spot in a training school due to the backlog for males they are experiencing....

Its beyond crazy how long i've been waiting though. Some of the girls who came through that FI with us are already in Dubai starting their training!

Rejected at the end

hi eri1 im kinda new to this, i applied for emiriates in london, and got through to the final stage and was awaiting confirmation from them. i eneded up getting rejected, i was devastated, right now i dont know how to feel, i believe it may be due to... when i said i could actually start the job, because stupidly enough i was stuck studying in uni, so i put down 6months .

i got an email back from them saying that i could apply next yr, is it normal to do this sort of thing? how many times have
applied to them and got through. please help

[Flyingpig07]

they do not check for hpv, they only require a smear test report (to check for sign of cervical cancer). Its not the same.

[ALEX60021]

to barbora dolce

they don't check for HPV.

[doz kenya]

ellenk

i know you must be devastated especially because when you go through to the final interview you get so hopeful.
Anyway,learn from the mistake,dust yourself off and try again in a year.spend that time researching and better luck next time.
Cheers!...........

Emirates Interview Overview.
So, you are dreaming to become a cabin crew with Emirates, then you should follow our question gouge to be successful during your Emirates Cabin Crew interview or assessment day. Below is a list of questions that will be asked during your flight attendant interview with Emirates.

Latest job interviews don't guarantee that the exact questions listed below will be asked during your Interview with Emirates. The questions are from candidates who have recently participated in Emirates open day, or Assessment Day conducted by Emirates recruitment team.

Candidates can either attend an open day, or if invited by emirates recruitment team directly to an Assessment day. Invitation is not required for an open day. Applicants are required to present an updated C.V. along with full length and passport size photographs in business attire.

Emirates Open Day - Round 1:

Open Days begin at 09:00 am and one of the recruiters will start to inform applicants about Emirates airline, how it is working as cabin crew, and lifestyle in Dubai. Information such us Emirates expansion plan, fleet, destination and history will be informed. Emirates recruiters will also show some video clips and ask some questions to candidates about Emirates. It is strongly recommended not to rise you hand and try to be smart and answer most of the questions. Listen and smile during company presentation.

At the end candidates will fill in a form and turn in their C.V. and photos. Sometimes, not always while turning in you C.V. questions will be asked related to your C.V. such as:

Once finished with this exercise you will be given a paper where it says if you have been successful to the next stage or not.

English Test
If you first language is not English, you will be asked to take an English test during an hour.

The First Section of the English test is an article that you need to read and answer some questions (you will need to circle the best answer. The article is about a rude girl working for a company. The next section is to find synonyms and match words that has the same meaning. The last part of the English test you will be given 4 topics to write about.

Group Discussion
Once finished introducing the person next to you, or completed the English test for non native English speakers you will once again get a letter saying if you passed to the next task or not. If you passed you will do another group activity. This time you will discuss in a group of four or five people a scenario given by the recruiters.

The group scenarios that has been discussed during Emirates assessment day are listed below:

* IF YOU WERE GOING TO OUT OF SPACE AND MEET ALIENS WHAT 4 THINGS WOULD YOU BRING WITH YOU TO SHOW THE ALIENS ABOUT THE LIFE ON EARTH?

* Come up with a name of a charity, a starting budget, a location, and who we would help?

* You will be given 8 descriptions of passengers and asked to choose 6 to downgrade to Economy even though they had booked business class?

* If a man was sitting in the back of the airplane and was afraid of flying and preferred to sit upfront but it was full how would u handle the situation?

* If you were stranded on an island, name 5 things that you all agree on in order to survive?

* List 10 global issues the world is facing today? (This Scenario is from the old assessments, and might not be asked anymore)


This exercise is to see how you interact with each other and support each other and most importantly all come to a conclusion you all agree with.
