Single/Engaged/Married?
 

Hello Lovely People!

I am applying to Emirates and have a question about relationship status...

Do they show any preference towards single or married applicants?

I am currently engaged with plans to get married in the next two years but have not a set date yet. I am aware and respect their culture/beliefs that you cannot live together unless you are married.

So do I tell them....

a) I am single
b) I am engaged and planning to be married in the next 1-2 years?
c) Wait until I am married and then apply?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

Regards
Skywise

Oh Jeez
 

Hi:bored:

I recently went to the Brisbane Open day and had my final interview about 2 weeks ago. The waiting has already been hard, you must be tearing your hair out!!!! I am getting on with things, exploring all opportunites but in the Back of my mind EMIRATES is always there. I wish you all the best and hope they call you soon. Let me know how it goes. Lets hope we both reach the sky soon.

hang in there:ok:

Waiting game..
 

Hello all, I just have a question if anybody experience the same. I had my final interview (first days of dec) and now its been 8 weeks. No call , NO email.. There is one girl who got a call just in a third week, I dont know about the others... anyways, I have been working as c/c and my phone is switched off most of the time. any Ideas?

:)

Medicals done!
 

Just emailed them my medicals, now here comes the 2nd round of waiting.

Speaking about waiting, Sfjana and Vix85, nothing yet?

JennydD, clarebear and cabin8crew: instead of calling them in Dubai, I've called EK recruiting agency in Japan (where I've been through the whole joining process) in my 6th week of waiting and it worked out.

Good luck for all those waiting. :ok:

Waiting & waiting & more waiting!!
 

Hey everyone, haven't been on here in a while. It's been 8 weeks today for me, I don't know what's going on, still no YES still no NO, I don't know what to make of it. Every week im thinking 'yeah i'll hear something this week either way' but no. Ahwell all this waiting around has just resulted in me having to sign another contract in my current job to stay on longer but i cant put my life on hold in the hope i'll hear from EK. Gotta get on with things I guess.

Everyone that's been moved from 13th Feb to 20th Feb did they give a reason as to why your DOJ has been changed??

There is 3 of us from the Galway day that still haven't heard anything and all 3 of us are on here so at least we're in this together girls haha. The waiting game is great fun....NOT! xoxoxox

hey
 

hey im indonesian i got selected into final interview with emirates im so happy tho!:Oany one from indonesia or singapore?

Hi guys,

So quick question :)

When is it you get ur DOJ? is it after the final interview or is it after the medicals have been sent?

Thanks in advance!!!


xx

Im a guy :O, well did you know about the others from your group, did someone got no email?

hi guys, i was just wondering, from applying to ur DOJ, roughly how long is the process? I really want to apply, but I cant leave my job for another few months cause im in the middle of a big deal, so I need a rough idea of how long it takes to when i can apply, however if the deal falls through, i can apply straight away :O

Hi JennyD, it must be killing you! I completely lucked out, they got back to me after 2.5 weeks. But for some reason I think they got through the Sydney ones really quickly, because quite a few of us heard back relatively quickly. But I feel your pain now that I'm waiting for the medicals, its been 2 weeks and counting (which isn't much) but I have so much to organise! And that email is a shocker, after I sent them my medicals it took them a week to respond to say they received them...and you feel like you don't want to keep hassling them with emails/calls but we need to hear back from them!

wanttoflyhigh: When you get the phone call after you final interview saying they will offer you a position they ask you how much notice you need to give to your current employer and then give you a DOJ with that in mind. Not to sure if you can change the DOJ or not...I'm feeling like I'd like to if I don't hear back about medicals soon.

theskysthelimit: I think its different with everyone and depends on your notice period at work and how long it took them to offer you a position. For me, the open day was on the 6th December, offered on the 25th December, given DOJ of 6th March (I have to give a months notice at work) so by then it will be exactly three months....but I've heard it can take much longer, or even much shorter if you want/need it too.

skywards im waiting
 

Hi skywayrds, i have been waiting for 2 weeks now after getting through the final interview in Brisbane. When did you originally go to the assesment in sydney? I feel your pain waiting for the medical clearance, if i get to that point i am sure i will be constantly worried:ugh:.

Good Luck with everything though

I'm not too sure what to wear to the open day, would a dark skirt suit or a light skirt suit be better? Just too indecisive about these things haha

Here in Japan I saw some girls wearing light suits, but I think that type of color may you look fat and it looks more wrinkled than a dark suit. I went in black and have not regrets! :ok:

Tattoos
 

Hi I've just joined and was wondering if anyone could help me... I have applied for cabin crew and have been invited to the open day in London on the 17th Feb. I have a small 1.5 inch tattoo on my right wrist, I can cover it with a plaster but I'm wondering if this will be a big problem as I hear they are quite strict on things like this.... any advice would be great! :):rolleyes:
