Final Interview!!!
 

First of all, I have sucessfully passed the second group discussion on a such a tough topic and situation...and we started with 13 and now only 10 of us are going to Final Interview, the last stage. But no more elmination until we get the "Golden call" from Dubai...so we are all going to the final interview under a different schedule. We are only 4 males and 6 females...and I encounter my ex-collegue among the 10 finalists!!! What a coincidence!!! Both of us are in, and we have passion to be flight attendants...and now seems like the reality has become true, well quite a bit. I am looking forward to hear from Dubai after the final interview, and hopefully not having to wait that long like others. I have to take more pictures tomorrow to complete the profile as they need to take some photographs back to Dubai for HR's filing purposes. They asked 1 full length, 2 casual and 6 passport sized photos in business attire...after that if I pass this final stage, they will require 24 photos more...incredible!!!:cool:

Good luck for all wannabees! will keep you guys updated about my final interview. ;)

Hi guys,

I was scheduled for assessment here in Dubai last Jan 15 through email, in which I confirmed attendance. Unfortunately I couldn't attend the said date due to an emergency, hence I sent an email to them the day before and asked for a reschedule. They haven't replied to which. Earlier this week, I sent another email regarding availability for another assessment schedule, and still no response.
Does this mean there's no longer any chance for an assessment? :(

Thanks!:)

My final interview
 

Hi everyone,
Finally, I finished the final stage which is the final interview with one of the recruiter. The whole interview lasted for about 35-40 minutes with only 4 or 5 questions which were quite specific on talking about your previous working experiences with customers...she wanted me to provide as much detail as possible on the situation ocurred, however I could handle them quite well...at the end of the interview and after she checked all requisitions and photograph were gathered then before I leave she made me a question like this: "Marlon, have you been searching for information about Emirates Airlines and Dubai over internet so you wouldn't get a shock when you arrive there?" And my answer was YES! and actually I participated in this forum to get a better understanding on the whole process and also the life style in DUBAI... Do you guys think that this might be a positive signal? I felt really excited when she asked me that...hopefully I can get this wonderful job as to start building up a new life :)

Give me your opinions please...

Thank you all :ok:

Open Day London 3rd Feb
 

Anyone going to the open day in London tomorrow?
Any tips?
From reading previous posts think it may be advisable to turn up really early, about 7.30-8am, does anyone think this is unnessesary?

stockholm???
 

Anyone out ther who made it all the way to the interview (Day 2) in Stockholm? Saturday 2008-JAN-20 and 21
What happens after the interview? How long does it take for EK to process your application? What will the next step be? :confused:

Hey
 

Hey buddy,
You should have read the previous post I uploaded...I assisted an Open Day in Costa Rica and I went through final interview successfully. I did specify what happened on the 1st, 2nd and final interview. Just don't want to rewrite again, sorry to tell you this but there are so much information to rewrite again. I definately invite you to see my posts. Good luck to you!!! :D

Best regards,
Marlon

final approval
 

Hi there I am in teh same situation and I am really worried, my doj is on the 22 feb and I sent the medicals in the end of december, such a looooong wait, I don't know what to do :confused:

Same process
 

Usually after you have done with the final interview, it will take 2-6 weeks to give you a call regards to either you are successful or not. Have you done the english test? Or the second round of group discussion? That is another elimination to have only few people to join the final interview.

Call them
 

Hi italiaboy,
You should give them a call to find out what is the current approval status of your medical result. They told us that we can call them to find out when the waiting time is taking so long...good luck!!!

madicals
 

Thanks I will defo give them a call tomorrow to know what is going on with this , would you call Joanne or the general office ??

after the interview
 

Hi again

What does EK ask for if they approve you - after the golden call - except for doing the medicals?
Does anybody know if EK offers the possibility to do your medicals in Dubai? I have read on the EY thread that EY offer it if you are ready to leave on short notice. Does anybody know if EK offers the same?
Anybody else out there who made it all the way in Stockholm???

a call....
 

:ok:Hi got a call for Feb 10th. check with me on

Open Day with agency vs Emirates' Open Day
 

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to find out what are the main differences between Open Day conducted by an agency to that of an Open Day hosted by Emirates.

The thing with Open Day by an agency is that you can walk in anytime between the time stated which would probably eliminate group discussions <?> and the recruitment video. Does that mean that they will then call the shortlisted applicants back for the activities and discussions the next day?

LeeMarlon, was your Open Day hosted by Emirates or a recruitment agency?

Anyone out there who's been through and succeeded with an open day by an agency? If so, would you be so kind to share your experiences with us here? What are the process and how long will the whole interview take from start to final interview, if any?

Thank you.

Medical test
 

Hi Italianboy,
Congrats!!! what are those medical test? Could you please provide me an idea how many medical tests I might be asked to take?

Thank you,
Marlon

MADicals
 

yeah they gonna send you a massive email explining everything that you need to do and all the medical reports must be in english, you need to undergo a hearing test , dentists x rays, chest x ray, hiv test, blood group, blood count, optical test, about 9 vaccines and a report from your doctor. that's why I call MADicals . good luck :ok:

New photos for Ek
 

Heya

I went through the selection process of Emirates Airlines in Munich and was also invited for the final interview the day after! I gave them 1 full lenght photo, one casual full-lenght photograph and 4 passport sized photos! Today in they called me to send them new photos becasue the photos I gav them recently were the same as those I had given to them in 2006!!!

Do you think this is a positive sign? The lady in Dubai told me after that that they need the photos immediately to proceed with my file!

Sh ewas very nice and ended the calli with " See you"

I hope that this is a good sign!! is somebody here who was in the same situation?????

Marlon
 

Firstly congratulations on your progress through the selection progress. I have found your info very useful.
I have a global assessment day in melbourne this weekend. I was hoping if you, or anyone else who has attended the assesment day, can enlighten me as to what topics were talked about in the group discussions. I understand I would unlikely get the same topics, but if i could get an understanding, that would be great!

Look forward to your responses!

Hello,
Hopefully you are well prepared for the assessment day! :)
In fact, we went through 2 rounds of group discussio and the topic we were given was: 5 items to be able to survive on an island, does not include water nor food. the whole group must discuss and come up with 5 items that EVERYONE AGREED WITH. And the next day's group discussion (we were 9 persons only...most of the people were dismissed the day before) our topic was: in a pretigious restaurant in London and unfortunately the head chef got ill and can't come to work, the chef assistant has very limited experience...now there are 10 tables waiting for their food, 5 waiting for the desert and 3 waiting for their starters and 2 for their drinks...if you were the restaurant manager, what would be your inmediate plan to resolve this issue?

For reference only, but please remember this tip: You don't have to talk a lot, don't try to be a leader, respect others opinion, don't interrupt the conversation, SMILE, pay attention to others talking, never and ever say I DON'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA...that means you are rejecting people and you can't be a team player. They are looking for people who can work together and not obsessioned of his/her own ideas.

Hopefully this might help you on preparing yourself, please be yourself and there is nothing to be worried. Be positive, well grooming!!!

Good lucks!!! :O

Marlon
