After medicals
 

Hi

After you have sent your medicals, how does EK contact you. E-mail or phone call?

Kubalibre,

maybe things have changed at HR since I joined. I don't know. I, personally, never ever could reach HR during the joining process, they never ever answered to me for my e-mails. (That would have been nice to know that I could carry 50kgs, I only got to know that when I picked up my ticket in VIE. I really, really hoped it was going to be there...) They promised to send my contract as well but I saw it in Dubai the fist time.

Beleive me, they will contact you if they are not happy with something. No worries.

Good luck!

Harry, euro became 5,8 dhs today. Dollar keeps falling. I'm curious when UAE will finally become independent from the US dollar. This inflation is getting unbearable...

hi there its my 3 to 4th week now since I had my final interview...does this usually take so long? had my interview in london.....anybody else?

So what are the rules when you are in your accomodation?? I know that they are quite strict in qatar airways.. but I did not know about the "jail like" conditions with emirates..

Pls elaborate..

Any idea?
 

Hi there,
Does anyone know people from your final group who got dismissed after their final interview? How long did it take for them to get such an email from EK? Did your group get called in the same week or some got call weeks later?

I am curious of other country's outcome...in my case, I only know there are 3 of us got teh golden call and 2 including myself we are still waiting for the call... :ugh:

Medicals and Security Checks
 

Hi,

I got the golden call and now I am working on the medical forms. When I asked the lady who called congratulating me, I asked what the final confirmation is based on, and she said it is based on passing the medical and being able to obtain a security clearance pass. Then I will get another final call.

But what is worrying me is that I was charged with something last year, but I was never convicted and the charges were dropped and withdrawn. But my record will show that charges dropped. Is this something to worry about? Like anyone can be accused of something, but I was never appointed guilty.

Kind of worried and if anyone could help,.. i would appreciate it.

Thanks! :)

2nd May
 

Hey there!I got the call last nite and was told my departure date would be 2nd May if medicals etc are passed:)
Which stressed me out because I am currently in Australia/brisbane but am going home to Norway and rest of Europe next monday, gone until 1st of May 1!!Gosh...a day after I land in Brisbane im then off again..what can I say- the perfect start to this job huh?:D
Medicals seem to be time and money consuming...they said I could expect the forms in my email within 2-3 days (which Im sure everyone else was told too). I want to get this medical stuff outta the way before I go on my holiday home to Europe..so can anyone plz tell me how specific and broad this is?Just so I know what to tell the doctor today:)
Thanks a bunch!Good luck everyone!;)

hey marlon!

i went to the open day in bratislava. 9 guys from 51 made it to the final interview. 5 from "us" got called last week (on tuesday and wednesday if i am right). just 1 girl didnt get the call and was still waiting.. she called them yesterday and they told her, she will get an email.. they sent it 1 or 2 hours later (that thanx, but she wasnt successful and she can come to the open day after 1 year, if she wants). honeslty no idea why.. no one knows, what they exactly "want". she was nice, pretty, spoke perfect english, had experience as a cabin crew.. i was sure, she will get the "golden call" as well.. unfortunately not :sad:

its difficult.. i know also another girl who went to the final interview in viena. she said, she was sure, she will get the job, because the FI was great. they were laughing and evertyghing seemed to be "GREAT". unoftunately she got "that" email.. (but no idea after how many weeks). i also heard of a guy who went to an FI in paris.. he got also an email, he wasnt successful. i think, the psychotests are important for them.. but i am not sure..

btw.. the the lady who called me said, that if all my medical checks will be ok, i am flying to dubai in march. so i am waiting now for the result of the last check.. and after.. i am going to send them everything.. :)

anyways.. some of my friends work for EK and they said just good things. they are really happy.. of course, to be a CC is a hard work, but a great one..

hope i helped you a bit :) and cross my fingers for you :)

Hi, I had my final interview on 29th of january 2008 in Rome but I'm still waiting news from Emirates, we were a large group (more than 15 people and they told us was something unusual for them to have so many people at the f.i.!) I know that at least 3 of them were called the past week after 3 weeks of waiting, actually i don't know what's going on with my application, i wrote them 2 emails this week but no answer, is it a good sign or not?

I'm really nervoussss!! :ugh:

Ciao a tutti!

why would one email them if they CLEARLY told you they will contact you in 2 to 6 weeks! really stupid idea!!

My Golden Call!!!
 

:ok::ok:
Hi Everyone,
I got my golden call on Wendnesday night!!! My DOJ is April 18 :D, the same as the other 2 girls from my group. I am soooo excited!!! I will have to start all medical exams as soon as possible.

All worth it, the patience and positivism did help to get through all this process. For all those are still waiting for their golden call, stay cool and be patient. I got my call at the end of the 4th week...

Will keep you guys posted once I finished all medical exams.

Good luck everyone.

Maybe because I'm already a flight attendant and I have to know if EK is going to call or me or not because if I receive other job offers as cabin crew with other airlines I can't answer with "I'm sorry I can't accept because maybe Emirates is going to call me one day".
Of course Emirates would be my first choise but I can't stay without job for a long time...

hey harry ,
think you got to give a bit of credit to the 9 points of the colleague in here ...I agree with most of them (if not all of them) ...I have been in dxb with ek for almost 10 years and the only thing I have to say is : if you are looking for a first time experience as a crew, the airline is great and will show you loads of countries and allow you to progress quickly in your career...If you already you have some miles under your wings , dont trust the contract they give you....
As mentionned before, the salary ( cause we need to talk money first :} )is not great though you dont pay taxes...the inflation is not taken in consideration in dxb and standard of living is quite high ..
Accomodation is getting smaller and smaller compared to golden days of emirates , which tends to create tensions btw u and ur 2/3 flatmates. Very hard as well now for the accomodation department to cope with culture sensitivities as it used to do before .(trying to arrange smoking and non smoking ; or asian mixing with european/australian/south african ) .
Staff travel is non efficient cause ek flights are always full and if they are not ,the ground staff being paid peanuts (400 pounds /month/ no accomodation) will be so happy to treat you like :mad:...So if you come to ek dont expect the best welcome, you generally give to ur paxs...
For what regards the cosmopolitan city , you can forget about it as mentionned by AFCWXM previously and confirmed by Harry as well...good side , that new joiners will enjoy, crew get discounts everywhere !
Finally AND I get YOUR TENTH POINT HARRY : The medical is a joke ! You got to wait ages sometimes to see a doc ( not always professional ...)Now , group became so big pilots / their families most of times are priviledged to cabin crew who struggle to get appointments...

In regards to flying conditions / destinations/ interviews, will be happy to answer to anyone ....better be well informed than surprised... keep discovering !

Open day photos
 

Open day picture
 

Hi,
You must provide 1 passport size pic and 1 FULL LENGTH (4''x6'') in Business attire! Along with your CV of course.

If you pass successfully to the next stage, more pictures will be required by the Recruiters.

Good Luck! Be nice with the people, do more research on the forum, there are a lot of tips to teach you how to be successful in your open day...(including mines...:p)

suitecases
 

Hi

I have read somewhere that EK will give you Two suitcases during your first week of training. Is this true? If so, what size are they?

EK open day
 

I read about a girl on another forum who got an invite to an open day.. I have applied online too but have not gotten one.. Does that mean they dont find me suitable and I shouldn't go?

open days
 

Well, if its an open day, anyone can walk in with their CV and meet with the recruiters. If it was an assessment day, then you need an invitation. If it is an open day, you should definitely go for it!

open day
 

yes its an open day!!!!!!!!!!!! but still she got an invitation for it....and i havent.... i guess i will just go regardless..

also,

does anyone know why under venue it says postponed???? (copenhagen openday 15th march).. Does this mean the open day has been postponed or does it imply mean that they havent sorted out the place for the open day yet???

pls help

some of my friends got a call exactly two weeks after their final interview. I got mine after 35 - 40 days :). As long as you haven't received a rejection email, it means you still have a chance to be called. Also, you may email emirates after 30 days to follow up on the status of your application, that;'s what I did. I emailed them exactly on the 30th day, sent another email after 3 days..the following day, I got a call from them :). Goodluck :D I hope you'll make it. :ok:
