Hey, you don't have to wait for an invitation to attend an OD, everyone who's over 21 years old age are allegeable to attend :ok: All the best and give it your best shoot, it'll be an experience that you wouldn't forget. P.S. Try to be friendly and nice to everyone too, it'll definitely helps ;) Good luck

Hey I think you should definitely go for it, as everyone always say "Life is short" so you should get the most out of it, do what you want to do and passionate about is the most important thing in life in my opinion. Age is not a problem, as long as you think you are up for it. What have you got to lose, right!? Go for it~!!!! All the best and good luck :ok:

I called them this morning and they told me that I will have to wait other 2 weeks to know the results... No way, 2 months to get the results???? They forgot about me for more than 1 months, then when I send them the first e-mail they reminded that my file was still pending for some documents, then I sent them everything and they didn't receive part of them, after another week they asked me again for the same papers, I emailed everything once again and they finally received them and now that is more than 6 weeks they told me that I have to wait other 2 weeks because my file was pending for a long time because I sent all the documents late??

I'm sorry but it doesn't sound as a professional behave...:ugh:

You are really kind, hope that you'll be right!;)
I called them this morning, in Italy was 9.30am (I tried to wake up earlier, but you know... yesterday was saturday!) I know that the gmt in Uae is +3h/+4h depending to the period of the year so I supposed that in Dubai was 1.30 pm but I'm not completely sure.

I made 1000 calls, everytime they gave me the wrong number but finally I managed to talk with the girl who worked on my application after at least 15 minutes of trying and she told me that... The only good thing is that now my application is complete and she sent it to the recruitment admin, I'm just afraid about other 2 weeks checking the mobile every 10 minutes!

A friend of mine who left 2 days ago to Dubai had the final approval 5 days and the visa and ticket 4 days before leaving.

In bocca al lupo!

Be prepared
 

My daughter got final approval, ticket and visa. All in one day. DOJ was 4 days later.

Be ready and prepared at all time !

I was invited via mail for the OD that will take place in my city in abril!
wow!

it's a good start!

Waiting for final approval
 

Hi all,
I am still waiting for my final approval, since I emailed them all medical forms last tuesday and they confirmed me that will get back to me shortly. In fact, I stated over the phone and via email that I need 1 month for notice period...now my DOJ is April 18 and I need to resign as soon as possible so I can give the notice period...anyone had gone through this can give me any advise? should I keep waiting or call them again? :confused:

Thanks,
Marlon

after the final interview..
 

I just had my final interview with Emirates on Saturday.. It has been two days only but I am already getting anxious!
They gave me the package and cabin crew careers dvd and everything at the interview and told me they will get back to me in 4 to 6 weeks.
I gave them the proof of education, my casual pictures, and passport number.
I think the interview went alright, and I also went to take passport and full lenth pictures at the studio they had chosen.
Is there still chances that I will not get the job?
Or it is most likey that I will get the job since I have already done a lot of things. Well.. I haven't been asked to do the medical yet tho..
Did anybody get regected after the final interview and if yes why?

hi
 

my final interview was exactly the same....dvd, studio which they have chosen, photos etc....im going now for 6 weeks of waiting......still did not get the golden call.....but no rejection letter either.....so fingers cross
xx

good luck nickedo
 

I didn't know it would actually take that long to hear back from them...
I'm sure you'll get it since they contacted you again..
I should just forget about it till they contact me..
Have you done your medicals yet?
How long do they take to ask you for the medicals after the final interview?
Or do they ask for it after you get the golden call from them?

holagirl
 

Hey holagirl,

From what I've read from other people, most that got rejected after the final interview were the ones who were unprepared, or had photos that were too casual, but since they provided the studio, then that would solve that problem.

How did your final interview go? I was actually at that assessment day there, but unfortunately, did not make it to the final interview. But I have learned from that experience, and will be back in 6 months! :)

Strange!
 

HEY EVERYBODY!

AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I GOT REJECTED AFTER THE FINAL INTERVIEW LAST YEAR (IN MAY) AND YESTERDAY I HAD A HUGE SURPRISE IN MY EMAIL BOX... EMIRATES REVIEWED MY FILE AND OFFERED ME A POSITION AS AN AIRPORT SERVICES AGENT, Can you believe it!!??:eek:

I replied immediately saying I've been working as a flight attendant for a while and that I would like to apply for a similar position in Emirates, and also ask them if I could attend the OD in my country in April! The lady advised me to do it!!! ...even if it's been less than 1 year sice the day of my final interview... she said 6 months was usually enough... WHAT DO THINK?

In the email I received with the outcome of my OD I was told that I had to wait 1 year to re-apply..:rolleyes: wow!!! JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK!
ANY COMMENTS?????

CHEERS!:ok:

secondo thing presentation of the company correct????


third thing english test correct????

Hi,
I encourage you to check my posts...they will give you a better insight of an Open Day with Emirates. It's time consuming to rewrite again. ;)

Marlon

hii all
 

ohh my Gosh people after almost waiting for 6 weeks after my final interview I have just received a miss call from emirates in Dubai, unfortunately i was at work then, but i now assume this was my golden call, they left a number on voicemail and asked me to contact them as soon as possible.
im sooooo happy....going to call them first thing in the morning...yeahhhhhoooooo! lets hope its all ok.
:--)

Hello to everybody...:)

First of all, I have to thank you all for posting and posting and bringing so many of vital info, to us who are just beginning..attending Open days with EK and such.

Well, my OD is set on 29th of March, in Zagreb( capitol of Croatia). I have no idea how many people will show up, what will the competition be like, nothing. I'm trying to think positive, tho. For the last 3 years, I've worked as land steward, doing jobs like check-in, and I hope that will do good for me...though I know there are so many aspects they are looking at.

I tried for Croatia airlines this year, there were 746 of us, and I was the second best..but they never called me back. In Croatia u have to know someone to get a job like this..that's why I like to hear that EK only looks at what u are, and what u have accomplished in your life. And then, if I fail to get in, at least it'll be because I simply wasn't good enough, and not because my daddy doesn't know some big chairman.

So, enough of my babbling..what I want to know is..

I suppose the interview and everything in the OD is in English, right?
I already have a passport size photo....in which I'm not smiling...I presume that is not that big of an issue?

i am leaving on the 4th april and i am having the same problem, i have called them numerous times and they said they would send it to be me 2 days ago but i never received anything and i called them again yesterday and they said they would send me something today...still waiting although it is only 10.30am over there atm where i am in australia!

it is very hard to get through as well when calling! i kept getting transferred all over the place and to mailbox's that were full so i just had to hang up and try again

hope you receive yours! it seems to be a common problem for a few of us! i just can't wait to get it!!

hiii
 

i just received my golden call this morning...im so excited!!!!my joininng date is the 16th of May!! doing my medicals this week!!! cant wait!
anybody else joining thas time?

Congratulations to everyone who has received the golden phone call and will be joining us soon.

As for DOJ, visa & final approval. In most cases EK sends you your final approval approximately within two weeks of sending the medicals. You would already know from your Golden phonecall when your DOJ is, therefore usually 4 days before flying out, you will receive your ticket and visa. I hope that helps.

Final approval
 

Hi,
I am still waiting for my final approval as to resign on time because i need to give my current employer 1 month of notice period...My DOJ is April 18th...in other words...i can't give 1 month notice period :hmm:

Anyone had gone through the same situation where the final approval was granted late and you couldn't give the requested notice period to your boss? I am wondering as well if EK will make arrangement on changing my DOJ as to meet my notice period?

Thanks

doj-04.11.2008
 

hi. anyone here leaving on april 11 for dubai? or the same week maybe? a have not started with my medicals yet because its holiday here in the Phils. Il do it on Monday. Its stressing me out already. What are my chances of failing the medicals???

chiquidejesus
 

Hi there,
I know one person in my group he has the same DOJ as you, April 11th. He had sent his medical forms like 2 weeks ago but hasn't got the final approval yet...but you will have 2 weeks to submit all required medical forms, please read the detailed medical requirements and follow up with your doctor. This is an important step prior to your joining...I am still waiting for my final approval too! :uhoh: getting nervious because i have to give 1 month notice period and my DOJ is Apr 18th! :sad: I will call them later to find out the actual status of my approval.

Good luck with your medicals. :ok:

leemarlon
 

i just had my golden call last march 15 then details for the medicals were sent to me 2days after. less than a month prior to my doj! hahay. since emirates has an agency here in the Philippines, we have to do it at their appointed doctors/hospitals which is all the way to manila (1.45hrs flight from where i am). And since its the Holy Week here in the Phils now, everything is close or on a holiday. Oh well. Just as long as my medical result is OK, right?? :{

leemarlon
 

and another thing. do you the email address of the person you were refering to? If he/she doesnt mind, that is. So we can communicate regarding our Final Approval. lolz.:p Who knows, we might be arriving at the same time in Dubai. ;) Thank You.

about last group assestment prior final interview on OD
 

Guys, I'm terribly sad, cant explain my sadness really :ugh:. I made it through the last group assesment that they give a case and demand suggestions on that. there were 10 people and the lady wanted us to talk for 15 mins and if we do not talk she said that she can not do anything rather than eliminating. So everybody started to talk without showing respect to each other, interrupting others etc. I realised that 7-8 mins. left more or less so I try to get in conversation by any means :*. Then I got eliminated. :{ Guys, especially the achieved ones please TELL ME, how should we act on last group assesment before final interview???? IF we couldnt manage to talk properly in 15 mins. we got eliminated (its really hard coz others dun give a chance to talk), if we jump in to say our idea we got eliminated too.. WHAT SHOULD WE DO? First, I try to talk with full respect, "may I add sthg guys..., shall I add this..that..etc." but nobody listens??? then I had to act like them by jumping in to conversation. However, ones that even couldnt properly talk in 15 mins. got to final interview..What do they expect us on this assesment really??Im really confused..I got to another city, booked hotel, arranged suit.. reached to 1 step before final, then....It will be hard to recover after being in last 18 out of 200...
Please inform me guys, coz after 6 months I really really wanna go again..last but not least, I wanna thank everyone here who helped me to get prepared for this OD..without ur help, I'm sure I couldnt make it up to last stge before final interview.. God bless you all..

nickedo15 - Medical checks
 

Hey nickedo15

The medical checks are very easy. Firstly You have to book in for a full medical check in any clinic, FAST~!! Because normally clinic is always vert busy and sometimes you'll have to wait for about one week to see a doctor. Also book in for chest X-ray, blood test, full vaccination report + do all the up to date vaccine that you have not done before, audiogram, full eye sight check and dental check as soon as you can. You can easily find those clinic in your yellow page. All of them would probably cost you about 200-300 US dollars. Print all the forms that they emailed you, bring it to the Doctor and ask them to filled them in. There's different forms for different check ups so just remember to have the right one with you when you attend you appointments. One last thing remember to ask each check ups for a full report because it is required. All the relevant details will be in your CC hand book and check list that they emailed you with your contract. Hopes it helps~ Good luck and all the best~ And Congratulation~ :)

isoguchi
 

everybody from your group should give each person to talk. if your groupmates dont seem to understand that, just listen to them and tell what you have to say at least twice during the whole discussion of 15mins. but never ever contradict another person's idea.

nickedo15
 

it may be a little expensive. although i havent done my medicals yet (il do it on monday), we are asked by emirate's local agency here in the phils to prepare cash for the vaccines and dental panoramic alone since they'l be paying for our medicals here.

Open Day in Kuala Lumpur - 6th April
 

hello everyone.. i'm new here and it's my first post by the way. i'm really excited on getting an email invitation for emirates open day but at the same time i'm scared and nervous about all these group discussion going about in the thread. i don't really know what to expect. so hopefully anyone in here could give me a pointer on what to do, what i have to get myself prepared for up ahead. would appreciate that a lot. by the way, anyone going for the kuala lumpur open day on the 6th of april?? :)

emirates crew please look!
 

I wonder that if u know a foreign language apart from english, r they gonna make exam on that language if u get to Dubai ? Do u know something about that?

Great question! So..people??

Open Day in Kuala Lumpur - 6th April
 

Hi rbadizza :)
Don't expect too much, if you don't want to be a disappointed too much after the interview. Just be yourself and SMILE! Keep eye contact with all the recruiters and be smiley - as much as possible! Be friendly with all the people you meet, like you know them for years...
And don't forget to be dressed in business attire! Hope it helps to you!
Best of luck! :ok:

same situation
 

hi Marlon, I am in the same situation as you are right now. My DOJ is april 11th, and so far no final approval on my medicals. I sent them an email, expressing my concern, they responded the next day saying they were to contact me asap. No news yet... and april 11th approaches fast.

So i guess we need to wait and see what happens...good luck and please feel free to email me. I would love also to meet the other costa rican guys-girls who were selected. If we make it there into EK as CC, we will be the first ever from Costa Rica!

Good luck and 'stay cool? :ok:
