Visible scars
akoti19
I would say to answer the question how it's ask : Do you have any visible scar [read: without concealer]. But if you have concealer at the AD and she asks, show it to her and she will tell if it needs to be declare. I remember a girl had a scar barely visible on her forehead and she asks and the recruiter said it was ok.

Its jus unfortunate that i cant get the contacts for HR. I sent torontofly a pm and he hasnt gotten back to me yet. I dont know what to do...i was jus trying my luck last month thinking that it would take a while before they invite me but in less than a week i got an invite...if i dont manage getting the contacts, i will go for the AD and declare my concerns before the whole session starts...i need to keep safe.

For you guys with tattoos, in my opinion its best to be honest, they WILL see them once you get to Dubai in the medical and imagine the embarassment of getting sent home. I have 2 tattoos one rather large and i too was not sure wether to admit it but i was honest and here i am in Dubai. For males its not so much of a problem as you wear a white t-shirt under uniform, for females its probably more of an issue, the shirts are pretty see through and although you have jackets and service waist coats, there will be times when the pursers want the crew to board with jackets off and thats when they will be seen !

hello
hello friends.
Concerning the Open Day, well sincerely I do not think you need an invite to attend it. During the Open Day they just show you how life is in Dubai and explains a bit about cabin crew job. Of course they will collect your CV and photos and ask you few questions, basic questions like what are you doing at the moment etc...
As for AD, well usually they will phone you or send you an e-mail to inform you when and at what time to come. AD you cannot go like that, I mean without being asked to.
Tattoos - well in my opinion I do think that it is better to be sincere because they might notice it when you go to Dubai. It wont be good for your image if you lie.
Well am not 100% sure in whatever am saying as am not cabin crew or HR coordinator for Emirates.
I am waiting for the Golden Call...

well seven tattoos,,,,that is alot
!don't admit all of them you might scare them....just kidding!but you were wise to put in places where they are not visible with uniform,for the shoulder,I suggest you declare although its not visible.
I do have tattoos but one is visible which am already removing(will not declare I have it-on my arm near my wrist) and the other on my shoulder,will declare that one only!good luck!

HR Numbers
Hi - to the people who have been PMing me for HR numbers + messaging here,
I am sorry but I cannot disclose the HR number, the only reason I have the HR number is because from last year I went for the Final Interview so I had the HR numbers from the recruiters
I don't think its possible for me to share the number on PPrune or anywhere. You can try asking on this forum for people who have received their approval, or you can always e-mail the HR recruitment office, they do reply to emails.
I am sorry, and hope you understand my situation too, I just don't want my name involved in it. Thanks

HR Contacts
I guess you guys should just google the company's contacts details and call the main number and ask for the department you need.
Thats what i did and it worked for me.
Good Luck!!

hmm. mixed verdict thank you mari and hiflierEK.
that was my concern, even though they are not visible, you would see them through a sheer-ish shirt. regardless, glad i was honest about them!!

hey guys , can i ask a question,
can you start training with one airline and if through the process you discover a job offer with another airline. Can you stop training and start with the other airline...anyone had this happen to them??
i agree with torontofly, its not right to give out numbers. its not ethical. so stop bothering torontofly with it.
ANYONE can turn up for an OPEN DAY, gosh it seems here like people keep asking the same question over and over. I repeatt, you dont need an invite to open day. if your online application says 'UNDER REVIEW', you could get an open day reminder like i did, but just as a courtesy reminder, but i repeat ANYONE CAN TURN UP TO AN OPEN DAY.
You need an Invite for Assessment Day, if you turn up without an invite you'll end up looking silly. message To some people :You dont make the rules so dont think you'll get special privaleges if you turn up to an assessment day uninvited. Also Turning up to a place other than in your own country for an open day wont get you special privaleges. So save your money.
If your online application says 'UNDER REVIEW', you should turn up to an open day with the documents they suggested you bring, ; resume and passport fotos etc and see whether you pass the test in real life. Thats what 'UNDER REVIEW' means.

pearl 23. only attend Open days. Assessment days are invite only.
reagrding tattoos, i did see a picture of where emirates allows tattoos. i think back, upper thighs, stomach area can have tattoos, your arms need to be free from tattoos.

Let's hope this comment of yours does not get deleted this time

So much for turning up ON TIME for the OPEN DAY
So then what happens next, on the Open Days provided you are there by 9:00AM SHARP, ? (I know they show you a video of Dubai, Emirates etc, take your resume etc)
Also how many Emirates destinations are now actual layovers of more than 24 hours? Most flights in the region are turnarounds, most European flights are a 24 hour layover, including the flights to the Americas I believe. I know Toronto is 48 hours, except the Fri flight which is 72 hours. The Aussie/New Zealand trips Down Under are 8-9 day trips with I believe 24 hours between sectors, maybe a longer times once back in Australia. So with all this, especially the American routes with 24 hours rest, and flights over 12-15 hours, how are current FA's taking the stress. I know when I chatted with the FAs on the JFK sectors they said the layover was too short. Would like to get a true perspective of the layover/turnarounds hours at various destinations?
I guess if you joined EK to see the world, you probably have to cram in your destination in the 24 hours you have at the layover, which might leave some quite exhausted
