Pamika : I'm joining on the 14th of March too! Do you have a facebook or email we can swap ?

ENOUGH!!!
 

I Got It!!!
 

Yes! I just got my final confirmation this morn. I fly out 15th feb. I cant believe it! So so happy.

Now the next stage is packing. Can anyone who is already out there give any advice on this. There r prob things i wont think about that would be really handy out there. Also do we need a mixture of summer and winter clothes. Would it be a good idea to bring my laptop.

I would be so grateful for any advice on this as i am the worst packer ever. I tend to just through everything in and that would def make me over the 50kg limit.

See u all in a month. Wohoo x

e-mail
 

hello,

can anyone please give me the mail of cabin crew joiners that i should send my documents to coz everytime i am sending it is failing to send,

thx

It's probably because the files you're trying to send are to big they only allow 5 Mb per mail...

Emirates in house newsletter/crew newsletter
 

Does Emirates have a Cabin crew/Air Crew in house newsletter ???? If yes - what is it called??? Or does it just operate an intranet to keep its crew updated on company news???

Medicals
 

I have also had the same problem with the files being too big. I had no idea how to compress them so i had to sort of split up the files and send them seprately, so 3 emails were sent.

Does anyone know of anyone having a problem with doing that?

What I did regarding emails :

I scanned everything as you do normally, I downloaded Acrobat Professional and created PDFs from multiple files (my scans). I then went into Reduce File Size under the "file" menu. The result was amazing, I had a 15 page document filed with scans only 2 Mb in size !

question:
 

for those who passed the medical exam, i just want to know what kind of picture do i need to bring in Dubai because it is not stated there if it's casual attire or business attire and if it's half or full body...is it the same pictures when we passed the requirements after the final interview?( 3x5 casual and full body business and casual attire)...:confused:

Emirates or Etihad
 

Hi guys

I´ve passed an interview of Etihad appr. in November.We agreed that I am gonna start on 13.1.2008.But I just found out that they have got enough cabin crews for this moment.But they didnt even informe me.

The other thing is..On 26.1.2008 is an opening day for Emirates, but I still dont know if I should go for it..Can anyone give me some info about working for Etihad and working for Emirates..What about the salary, benefits anmd other things..Thanks for your help.....:O

pix
 

hey cathy,

the pictures that they need are not full length, it is a passport pic and four pic 3*3.5 that is almost like passport pic so only ur shoulder and above will be shown.

Timea
 

I'm in the exact same situation as you.

You should absolutely go for the EK open day.. your position with EY isn't confirmed until you have a contract.. I have my interview with them in 2 days.

Who knows how long it will be before EY will contact us. Whatever your preferred airline is: it's always good to have a back-up. You might even get to choose for both of them :O

teeth missing
 

Hi all,

I was in the Paris open day (24th nov) and I'm pre-selected. I sent my medical exam last week. But I have a small problem with one teeth.
Actually I have on missing teeth, it is the first molar on the right and down
side (between the pre-molar and the second molar). The gap is not visible when I speak and smile. So according to the EK requirements, my dentist put a cross on it on the form and circle the "FIT" option saying I'm OK. So for him everything is fine.
But I cannot stop myself from worrying about that :ugh::ugh:.

Did anybodies face a situation like before and got finaly selected ?

By the way I would move to dubai on 28th march.

Thanks.

basseterre
 

Dont worry at all !! I had one gap on each side :}.. as long as it not visible then everything should be fine ,, you should should be thinking about packing rite now .

See you around soon .

Open Day in San Jose Costa Rica
 

Hi all,
I am so excited because we are gonna have the OD in San Jose Costa Rica on Jan 29th. Though I have submitted my resume and application on line, but I am wondering what do they do in a normal OD? Do they hire people during that week or how does that work? Also, how long the whole selection process may take to the final decision and to get the trip to Dubai and start to join the Cabin Crew team? Mucha appreciated your replies.

Regards,
Marlon

Open day- the first round: assessment day:

Browsing the video about Emirates, including Dubai, recruitment, the first day enter Emirates bla bla bla. then you can ask any questions you'r interested in, about one and half hours
then will be divided into groups and have group discussion about the questions given there ( 2 to 3 questions. )

if you aren't native speaker, you'll be invited to complete an English test, comprehension and written an essay

the second discussion, if you shortlisted, you will do a psychology test,
you will be informed by the end of assessment day whether you get invited to final interview or not.

final interview:

only YOU face two interviewers,

ALL these procedure is based on Emirates recruitment in China, for your reference. hope you will succeed to work for Emirates
:):):)


i'm going to assessment day in Shanghai end of this month, BLESS ME~~~

i still have some question, as I'm not a native speaker, i'm afraid of my ORAL English coz I am always ashamed talking with foreigners, when i interact with my German boss, i try my best to take care my accents but... i'm still worried, how to improve my English ability especially in ORAL???

hello all
 

Been nearly two weeks since I last posted on here and finally having time to get back on here to post a quick message. Been in Dubai for 2 weeks now and I am not home sick at all. After a few changes, I managed to get myself into a really nice appartment. Had our first SEP exam today and passed and have another one on Monday! Damn! Training is fun, it is like going back to school, all you guys joining will love it. It is also a lot of hardwork as we start really early into the morning and get home at 4ish in the afternoon. Definitly not regretting it at all. Cannot wait to see all you newbies first thing on a Sunday morning at Emirates college! Look out for me and say hello!!

Gotta dash!

Good luck everyone :)

Glasses...
 

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if I could use glasses during the Open Day or better not to? Trying to find out how EK's policy looks like.:sad:

Regards,
Marlon

I am planning on attending an Open day and I was wondering what kind of photo Emirates are looking for?

I know the business attire, skirt, smile with teeth etc.
But I heard they have very strict requirements about your posture on the photo.
Can anyone tell me what their requirements are?
Do you have to face exactly forward?
How should the legs be positioned?
Etc.

Thanks a million!!!

WELL, I went to an interview with EK a few days ago here in Singapore.. was doing pretty well, and even made it past a few of the rounds.. until they realized I don't have my Year 12 cert.

Bummer. :*

Don't get me wrong, I can certainly see their point.. minimum requirements are set in place for a reason. But needing to have Year 12 seems kind of silly, when you're 21 and have been living abroad for years and have years of professional work experience etc. I have Year 11.. but they can't overlook 12 measly months of education?

Now I could enter into a degree or diploma, which take 3 years or so, and be at least 24 years old when I completed it and was able to re-apply.

Not cool. :suspect:
