Help please!
 

Hi all

I have unfortunately not made it into Emirates or Etihad. Which other airlines take people from other countries of residence and with no cabin crew experience??I've applied to Gulf Air and Qatar airlines but are there others?
Would really appreciate it

kind regards

Oh, I didn't know that, what should be used instead of "I think"???

As for your question, you can try Oman Air, they are searching for foreign female cabin crew, I also looked Saudi Arabian, but they aren't recruiting at the moment, maybe later!

hi there

It is always important to phrase things such as "What would you all think?" etc. When you start refering to yourself all the time I think the word "teamwork" falls out the picture which is the main purpose of the group activities. Thats my opinion :)
I know its tough especially when you want to get your opinion across but try put it into a suggestion kinda way.

Any more questions feel free to ask :)
I'll check out Oman air :)

OH, that's a good point! There's a Gulf Air assessment day on september 26th, so i am thinking to go, and there's emirates OD at my closest neighbour country on 27th, so i am thinking to go there as well! ::ok: Will try both, it's more sure this way!! :) I've also applied to Oman, let's see if they reply!

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and just had a question.

I really want to work for Emirates, as many of my friends do, but thought I would also apply for Etihad.

I read on their website in the "requirements" secion that you must have "Weight proportionate to height".

I'm 170cm tall, so dont have any problems with their height requirements, but my BMI is only 16.3 (the website i used to calculate it said that the "normal" weight is 18.5-24.9.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with regards this requirement. I'm healthy, but would they see me as being unsuitable because of this?

Hey there!

I passed the Gulf Air interview and got a contract! Thanks for your advices, this really helped!! We were just 6 people at the final interview! Oh well, now i am not sure whether to go or not, have you attended the Gulf air day as well, anything positive to say about them? :8

cheers

Well done!!!
 

Hey there

EA Cabincrew:Wow that is really awesome!!!well done!!!:DIts my pleasure :ok: I unfortunately haven't attended the Gulf air interview yet as they do not fly to South Africa. I applied on the website to the African continent interview but I dont know if they'll contact me. So i'm holding thumbs for that. Otherwise i've only heard great remarks about the airline. Whether you should go or not, is really up to what your heart tells you. Did the recruiters and the people who made it with you through to the final round seem like people you can work and live with??I think its a good way to judge :)

As for me, I'm off tomorrow to the open day with Qatar airways to see what happens there. I haven't heard anything great at all about working for them but I'm just going to take it that if God has a reason for me going there I'll get in....So for me getting in is the sign :) I have no idea what to expect of tomorrow so going in blindfolded you could say but i'll try my best :)

Well done once again you should be so so so proud of yourself!!!!

Simone511: Hi there:)

I understand your concern but there isnt really any way to tell whether they use that against you. I personally think if you look healthy then it wont matter wat your weight and height is etc. I do know of one girl who was under weight that applied for Emirates and was sent home once she reached Dubai but because she didnt look healthy. They'll only weigh you and stuff once you get to Dubai so you still have quite some time to try and maybe get it somewhere close to right :)

You've got nothing to loose so its worth a try :)

hope it helps, sorry im not so clued up on the weight issue. Hope you come right and all the best to you:)

kind regards

Leecronje,

Thankyou for your response! I will go along and do my best!
Also, thankyou for all that you wrote about your recruitment experiences! I'm going along to my first ever airline recruitment day for Emirates next month, so it really helps to know what to expect!

Best of luck for you today with Qatar!! You can make it girl!! :ok: Waiting to hear from you back!!

Thanks!!
 

hey all

Just got back from the Qatar open day. It was just a day where they tell you all about the company and living in Doha etc. About 300 people showed up and we all had to give in our CVs and now we wait to see if they'll call us back by 6pm tonight to tell us if we must go back tomorrow. So we'll c what happens.

Good luck Simone!!!You'll do great. Emirates interview is pretty tricky because you dont have a one on one interview first so its all about making a great first impression. Read this blog posted below I think it could help give you a good idea on what to expect from them.

Hi everyone! Can someone please help me? I am ready to take my photos and send them with my online stuff to etihad... they did interviews in the USA but i wasnt able to make it because i had a family affair. I am wondering how I can let them know that I can travel to their open house in Manchester, UK? Can someone please tell me? Thank you soooo much!

so I have read thru all the pages on this tread.. but still noone answered this question: What item to choose from: newspaper, pen, cellphone water etc??? What would be the best choice.... I think Newspaper/magazine... but maybe I'm wrong. Can someone who already got thru tell us what item they choose???

Personally i think it doesn´t matter what to choose but WHY, the way you talk, maybe newspaper is a good choice coz it is a window to see the world, mobile cox you like communication, pen coz you may write your feelings.........u know it is very subjective, but it is only my opinion, i am not sure as i didn´t get through neither, so.... do your best and don´t talk too much is my best advice :)

Etihad and USA visa Question
 

Hi all.
I have a quick question. Is it required to get USA visa for all crew members?
My problem is that I overstayed my US visa and now I can't enter their terrytory.
Would it be a problem to Etihad? or getting a visa is optional?

All crew that operate into the states do require a visa I believe. Now whether or not Etihad would have a problem with this I dont really know. They could remove the chance of you operating to the US but when it comes down to the crunch, they could be well within their rights to terminate employment on the grounds that you do not have an unrestricted passport!

Ignore the law in the USA, especially with immigration/customs, expect big problems....especially these days.

Foreign crewmembers operating in-out of USA always required D-3 Visa.
Even citizens of countries who could travel into USA as tourist with I-94 visa exemption.
Being listed on the crew list (GD) makes you subject to have a valid crew visa.

Happy contrails

Objects question
 

I personally agree with Kanela. There is no right or wrong answer. I think they just want to see how you think on your feet and how you think. Take your time when you answer and dont answer immediately. I think they might want to see that you think about something before you do it. So dont stress about that part k :) best of luck

Ok... I'm still confused.
I checked with someone who is working for Emirates and he said that I can decline applying for US visa in one of their paperwork, because it's not a requirement. They just won't put me on that route.
But I have assessment day next week with Etihad, and I just want to make sure that they are OK with it as well.

What do you mean by that? Is there something I should know about, these days??? LOL
