Go for it its just a day and i know someone who went.....anyways you have to drop your cv off on the 12th they will call you back on the 13th ....so when you have to fill the form out it will be the 13th.....

GC and Online Status
Hi guys, the forum has been very helpful. Thanks a lot to everyone who has contributed to it 
Anyway I had my FI on 1st May and I have been waiting for GC since then. We were about 7 people who made it to the FI, 2guys and 5 ladies....well guess what the guys are already through, they got their GC after 2 weeks and the other ladies have received some communication from Emirates but I have not received anything from HR. My online status has been UNDER REVIEW since they invited me to the OD but when they asked us to write our online reference number, I could not remember so they told me to just write the reference that I had on that day. Well am still waiting for the GC and like most of you have written, it is the most tiring if not argonising wait. By the way do they call you with UNKNOWN numbers too because I had a missed call from an Unknown number.....GOOD LUCK to all who are trying to get in, it is not easy that I can assure you all

Kenyan, dont take it to heart. Its just dependant on your recruiters really...
Some of the new recruits ive seen in traning college over the last month... you really wonder how the **** they got the job, honestly the quality of some of the people ive seen... not good
How they can hire these people and not you? i have no idea.
Its a shame because the interviews in some countries (like Kenya) the competition is very tough with thousands applying for each assessment day where they only have a quota of 5-10 people to hire...
then you have other places with 100 showing up.. yet only 10 of these people can actually speak english properly.. though the recruiters were asked to recruit 20..
a friend of mine came through an open day in Tasmania, Australia... only 14 people showed up!! they hired 5...

In reality people dont get fired here that easily....
unless you show up to work drunk/on drugs or verbally abuse a passenger (with a witness watching), the worst youll get is a warning...
Even if you open the door in the armed mode, they generally just send you back to training college....
at the end of the day when they spend thousands on flying you over here and training you up, moneywise its not in their best interest to fire you.
There are many employees here with 20+ sick days per year... (basically whenever they have a flight they dont want they call sick), also some with 4,5 absents per year.
Obviously they arent getting any upgrades with these kind of records, but they havent been fired either.

I was wondering... Maybe some one like Mari or Redhatgirl could help... Well... My question is... Do anyone knows SOMEBODY who has been hired after failing a first final interview? I mean... SOmeone who had been rejected in the last stage... Tried again... and got hired (someone honest, who admitted their previous final interview to the recruiters)... I was wondering because I've never seen that in the last 3 years... and I'm a little bit worried of being soooooooooooooo focused in a project that is doomed from the very first moment... You know...
Maybe they took in consideration your previous final interviews (even when they say they DON'T)... But maybe they do... And would be a shame... Because ONE BAD IMPRESSION to ONE RECRUITER in your past should not be DEFINITIVE to prevent someone from being hired... As the own recruiters said... Maybe that day was not your day, so simple...
Can anyone please put some light on this?
THANKS POEOPLE!

third time lucky.....falls right in my lap.
I have given emirates interview twice before this, been to the final interview, both the times, but were rejected. this time, I went with more dedication and preparation and I did get my GC!! don't lose hope. and one of my recruiter was the same that i met the last time.

Just give your best. Don't leave any stone unturned. that is all.
rest is up to them and their judgement. but you should know that you have performed to your best. So research on how to succeed in interview. practice them, but don't lose yourself. The Golden Rule for Golden Call: Be seen not heard, on your AD, And Be heard not just be seen on your FI:

Osaka AD
Hi all,
Is there anyone here who got invited to the AD in Osaka this June 5? I applied few days ago online and got this email:
Dear Candidate,
Thank you for submitting your documents. They have arrived safely at our office.
For a number of reasons, it has been decided that the next two or three Japan campaigns will be based in Osaka. There are multiple reasons for this.
Invitations to the Initial Screening interviews will be sent out in the next few days.
Please note the following changes:
Initial Screening stage will now be held only in Osaka on Sunday June 5th.
The Screening stage will be held on June 27th and June 28th.
Final Interviews will be held on June 29th to July 3rd.
We look forward to meeting you in June.
------
Although it is not exactly an invitation letter, do you think it's as good as one? If anyone else here is going tho this AD, I would love to know if you received this same email. My status in the application still says "application under review" so I don't want to get my hopes up too high.
Any comment will be appreciated

You don't need them before FI : at end of your AD, if you made it that far, they will provide you with all the informations regarding your photos. Passport size is 1,5' x 2'.

Did you apply for an AD? And if so, did you see any agency stated? It looks like you'll receive another invitation mail but they just wanted to give you the information regarding the change. Meaning it's a good sign.
Cheers,
Z
