Open Day - reach test
Hi everyone, I went to the Open Day this past weekend in DC and was eliminated in the first round because I could not pass the REACH TEST. It's not about how tall you are, but being able to reach 212 cm. I am 5 ft 2 inches and could not reach this height even on my tippy-toes (almost). So to anyone who is 5'2" or shorter, I suggest taking some yoga classes to stretch out your spine before you go to an OD. The recruiters were very nice but they were very strict about this point. There were many other applicants who went home besides me because they were too short. I was really disappointed and shocked because I had tried this reach test at home but had incorrectly measured 212 cm on my wall. So good luck to all you shorties like me!
PS. I was told by the recruiters that I couldn't reapply for another 6 months but have read in this forum that if you attend an OD you can come again as soon as you want, but if you go to an Assessment Day, you can't go to another for 6 months. I would like to try again as soon as possible but am unclear about what is permissible. Does anyone have any ideas about how soon you can apply if you failed the reach test (assuming you can gain some height haha)?

should i wait? advice needed
hi guys
i went to the OD in sydney in january, and was told because i had not been resigned from Etihad (where i used to be cabin crew) for 6 months they couldn't take me.
the recruiter did seem quite keen, and re-wrote my contact number in her own writing, and said she would call if by any chance that was no longer their policy... alas no call...
now i see there is another OD in sydney on the 24th of march, and I was thinking of going as I will have been resigned from Etihad for almost 7 months at that time...
is this possible or do I have to wait 6 months to attend another Emirates open day?
thanks for your help in advance!

Thanx a million. I will apply to the recruitment agency. I assumed that too many girls here apply. I live on the same premises where girls who are training to be F/As stay, and trust me, every 6 weeks I'm greeted by 20 new faces, and they don't stop coming!! Looks like it's the #1 job in the country...lol.
Another question: My application on my EK profile has now changed from "applied" to "application under review". Do you think that I might still get an invite even though I have only applied directly to emirates?
Good luck to all who are waiting for a GC!

im sure they would get in touch with you and let you know the outcome. in the meanwhile keep checking your status if it changes from "under review" to "approval in progress" see it as a good thing - but dont get your hopes up too high as you still can be rejected at this point.
Good luck!

You can attend at any place. i was going to go to the one held in oxford, but when i called the london office the recruitment lady just advised me to attend the AD at their london office.
it was really wierd coz the london office venue wasnt on their website.
anyway, here is their office number - call them and ask about venues; 0207 808 0004.
good luck

I only applied on the Ek website, when it was advertised in the newspapers last year, but its better to go through Icrew, as they have only the SA applicants at heart. They do the sifting and then the EK recruiters come every 2/3 months to do the assesment days.

Hi guys,I'm just new at this
I had my FI the 19th of february and my status hasn't changed yet....I'm still under review
Can you tell me if this is a bad sign or if I just have to wait and cross my finger
I know the next status should be AIP....when you are AIP it is not sure you will receive the GC right?
Thank you so much for helping me and for all the answers you give
Bye

Hello Everyone,
I am attending the OD in San Francisco on the 24th of March.
Is anyone else attending the same day?
I am nervous as to what to expect on this day. Do the recruiters have one on one time with you on the OP or only if they call you to attend the Assesment Day is when you have one on one and group interaction?
I am going to put my all and trust in God for the best.
Let me know if anyone if any one will in SF the same day.
thank you everyone. all the post are extremely helpful.
BEst of luck to ya all....
