Thanks Maya. Geez i hope i get the golden call next week... i dont think i have the patience to wait for 2 months! :hmm:

About the medicals... do they require an ECG test? I'm a bit worried as i had a heart operation when I was 3 years old to correct a congenital heart disease. Although I am okay now, no restrictions on my activities, not taking any medications or whatsoever, the doctors get scared when they see the scar on my chest!! The sight of it makes them apparently silly to jump into a conclusion that I am not fit to work.

Anybody here also has a history of surgery? My condition really worries me to death! :ugh:

final approval
 

Anyone got the final approval by phone or via email? Can you guys believe that they have been asking me for my passport copy 5 times??!! I received once confirmation from a lady in recruitment team saying she received it, but now again someone (a different lady) called me and left a message saying they did not receive my passport. Oh my god, I can't believe my DOJ is April 18 and they keep asking me for the passport. This morning I sent 4 emails with the same attachment hence they won't loose it again... :suspect:

same here... leemarlon
 

:ouch: After my final interview, the recruiter told me to leave the photocopy of my passport and job letter and proof of education at the front desk under her name.
I did what she had told me to do, and I left everything at the hotel front desk under her name.
It's been three weeks after my final interview, and I just received an email from dubai that I should then them the missing documents!
I wonder where the documents I originally submitted went..

to leemarlon and holagirl
 

well as an ex-EK staff... I can say that not-so-good stuff sometimes happen. :ugh: Things can go wrong within the HR Department, just imagine how many new staff they are recruiting every month! My advise is to just stay cool and cooperative. Do some follow-ups if you feel things started to get silly and strange. But in any case, this should not be a reason for you to worry because Emirates has a very competent recruitment team. There may be delays and little shortfalls but it's surely gonna be taken care of. ;)

Hey:)

It's 4 to 6 weeks from the date of your final interview, and if u get an email it's a no, and if u get a phone call, it's a yes. Hope ur phone will ring:)

recruiters in Latin America
 

HEY LEEMARLON!

Just a question, who were the recruiters in your home town? I'm just curious about it;)

I'm sure you'll have some god news soon, the EK recruitment staff seem to be flexible and understanding when somebody needs some "extra-help", change of date or stuff like that... JUST STAY COOL!:ok:

CHEERS!

They are Sonya and Roweena (as pronunced) from Island and Australia. I need to contact HR department to see what is my medical status and when I can expect my final approval...now I can't leave on April 18...need to change it so I can serve 1 month of notice period.:uhoh:

Hi Holagirl,

I would contact Assunta and confirm she received those documents. GOod luck!

advice
 

Hey am attending an assessment day next week??
If anyone has any advice is would be very helpful,

thanks

Chest and teeth X-rays?
 

Just wondering why a chest x-ray is part of the medical? What exactly are they checking for? And for the teeth, what are they checking for as well? Do they want you to get any work done on your teeth in your home country before you leave for Dubai?

Hi, the following information can answer your questions:

X-ray films with the date and patient name on them AND a radiologist’s report in English are required. Any thoracic scoliosis must have comment on degree of curve and rotation.

Dental Standards Expected:
· Teeth should be free from caries and all necessary fillings completed.
· Roots etc. should have been removed. Sockets clean, uninfected and healthy.
· Temporary fillings are not acceptable.
· Gingiva and oral cavity to be free from infection or disease.
· Teeth should be free from plaque, scaled and polished. Good level of periodontal health.
· Crown and bridgework, if present, should be in good condition.
· On initial examination in EK clinic, if treatment is found to be unsatisfactory or uncompleted, it will
need to be restored at the patients expense.
· Dentures, if applicable, should be in good condition and fit properly.
· Root canal treatment should be complete and satisfactory. For recent RCT, a post treatment periapical
X-ray should be supplied
· Wisdom teeth which are normally symptom-free (i.e. which do not compromise adjacent teeth or
do not create recurrent infections) do NOT require removal.
· Dentition should be of cosmetically acceptable appearance
· Gaps / missing teeth do not need to be replaced by bridges etc. If posterior and unnoticeable.

confused
 

my friend whose DOJ is 04.18.2008 already got a confirmation from emirates while I haven't heard from them yet and my DOJ is 04.11.2008. :{ is there a chance my medicals wont be approved? and how big/small is that chance.

I went this morning to EK OD

I failed

chiquidejesus
 

Maybe try to call them, I think that it's the best thing to do...

I'm doing the medicals this days, I'm sooo stressed!

nickedo15
 

just a few days but im supposed to leave on the 11th. i have a friend whose leaving on the 18th but gotten her approval already, and i submitted mine first....

Hi,
When did she receive the final approval? Does she have to serve any notice period? We are 3 here with DOJ April 18 and no one has gotten anything but resend and fix some of the medical forms...i am no longer leaving on April 18th...i requested them to move my DOJ to May due to their delay on advising me. Well, I think you should get ur final approval just 4 days before your DOJ 11th.

mayaenvuelo
we were 100

Oh sorry to hear that. :( I know 6 months is a long wait, but it's the only way. Keep trying, I failed twice and was chasing this job for almost 5 years now. Don't give up!

Advice
 

If any aussies out there want to apply for Emirates send me a PM i can give some advice about the recruitment process and tell you some sources that you may want to refer to increase your chances in getting the job!

Cheers

I got an email from EK regarding to Appendix 2 of medical form, question #1 was not ticked off. So I resent it...now again i am waiting for the final approval and confirmation from EK to move my DOJ to may.

Hopefully they get back to me soon! ;)

leemarlon - The same happened to me~!!
 

Hey marlon, I got an email from the CC joiners couple of days ago, also regarding Question 1 in Appendix 2 being unanswered and requiring me to fill it in. They then asked me if my medical is approved, whether I am still able to join on 18th. Anyhow, I still haven't got my final approval yet tho. Now I'm back on the waiting period :ugh: .... Lol... Hopefully everything would be fine. I can't wait to start~ All the best to you and hopefully yours would goes well too. Time flies so fast, the day will arrived without we actually realizing it :)

Thats so funny because I got the same email...hehe..I thought that question was to remain unticked for some reason...!Ah well, at least we re all sorted now!My DOJ of is 9th May, hopefully some ppls in here are going for the same date:)
Best of luck ya'll!:O

I have requested to change my DOJ to either May 9 or 16...hopefully they will sort that out for me. Because I need to serve 1 month of notice period and therefore April 18 is impossible for me to join the company. Still no news yet, but I will be fine.:cool:

A question for you all
 

I'm undergoing all the medicals, I have a question, I have 2 missing teeth (numer 2 on the right and on the left in the upper side of the mouth) and I did an othodontical treatment 10 years ago to fill the missing teeth with my natural teeth, I mean now I don't have any visible gaps in the front area of my smile, the dentist specify that thing on the dental report, and he wrote that I did this othodontical treatment and that now I don't have visible gaps even I didn't fill them with crown or bridgeworks but with my natural teeth, do you think that they will acept this thing? I'm really scared that they won't understand the orthodontical treatment that I have done... I also have the dental xray report on which is written the same thing that the dentist wrote on the dental checklist...

If they will be in trouble with my smile they could check my photos don't you think?

:-)
 

Thank you nickedo :), I'm sooo stressed, I had to wait for 2 months to get the approval after the FI now I'm just afraid that something wouldn't be right with my medicals... Generally I'm an easygoing and relaxed person, I don't now why I'm behaving like that now! :confused:

Hey Shinners.. No Worries!
 

Last year I failed my final interview and this year I tried again! .. time goes so fast! We were about 100 in my home town at the begining and for the final interviews we were about 20!! that's a lot, I think! JUST WONDERING IF IT IS THE SAME IN OTHER COUNTRIES..:confused:

anyway, I just wanna say try again, last year I felt terrible, specially cause after a FI you expect a lot, but now I think that the whole situation gave me some more experience and hopefully this year I did it better!;)

Waiting for a call from Dubai...

Our FI people had more than 20 ppl, out of 160+ who turned up for the open day so I think thats pretty common- depends on how many turn up in each city I guess;) Best of luck!:)

hey again guys,

i got a friend who i met during my FI. she was one of the other finalists and she told me that she gotthe golden call yesterday around 11 am and her DOJ 30th May. i was not keeping my hopes that high but emirates calling people in same day or occasionally?

thanks

Serdarh
 

Hey Serdarh, you still have a good chance. No news means good news ;) As long as you don't received an email (rejection normally via emails), a call should be coming your way. I think your friend who got her result so early is purely lucky because most of us have to wait for more than 4 weeks or more to get our golden call. So don't give up your hopes just yet. Being patient with the recruiters is the way to go :ok: Good luck and wish you all the best~

Thanks for the respond nonolo
i guess i ll keep waiting on :D

Serdarh...
 

Had my final interview 2 weeks ago and still no news. I know the waiting can be though; it actually drives me crazy! Stay cool. :ok:

3rd weeks for me since my FI

I got the record 2 MONTHS of waiting for the golden call, nobody knows why!! Yeeeeehhh!

MayaEnvuelo...
 

:eek: :eek: 2 months?! :eek::eek: I would have been dead by then.... lol.. :}

Guys, any idea if EK contacts the references you mentioned in the application form?

Final Approval
 

Oh my goodness :}, finally the waiting is over~!!! I got my final approval today, joining on 18.04.08. is confirmed :D!!! Being patient is all worth it :ok:

Hello guys
Did anyone attend the assessment day in manchester yesterday??
I didnt get through to the final interview :{ feeling very sad !

Finally!!
 

I finally got a call from Dubai.
This lady calls me before 6AM when I was still asleep, asking me if I could leave in April.
Come on, it's April already, I still have to do my medicals and really get ready!
I pushed it back to May 23.
Anybody here from Toronto leaving to Dubai?
I didn't get to contact anybody from my assessment day after...
Please contact me. I would love to talk to some people before I leave.

congrats to nonolo and holagirl
