hey sweetie calm down ,,,
i know you will make it
i prefer to be in whole formal suit ,,chemise and jacket and the skirt is more than fine
skin colored female socks
high heel ,,they asked us in the final interview to look like this,to be more feminine..
it is okay to look skinny as long as your body looks perfect
a little girl with us made it to the final interview she was short but in heels
your hair yes,,up ,,and neat..simple earings with no accessories

thanks guys, one more thing, whats and open day and whats an assesment day?

DUckling
 

the open day is when every body comes to apply having theie CVs they heared about the recruitment may be from news,,with no online applications and with no invitations
but the assessment day is the day after selecting certain people form the OD to come and start the whole process,,from exams and group discussions

Open Day: Anyone can go to

Assessment Day: Invitation only


If you go to an Open Day, and are successful, you with then be invited to an assessment day :)

Hope that helps!

Do you i may aswell apply for the assesment day if im applying online?

Duckling

Duckling
 

I hope I don't reply too late.

I went to an AD a while ago and the recruiters told us the followings regarding the full lenght and passport size pictures for womens:

Full lenght:
-you need to have a business suite: knee lenght skirt (it has to be not above and not below your knees but precisely at the middle of your knees) and a jacket that has to fit your arms lenght and has to be closed in a way that your shirt will be seen only at your chest level

The lady was very nice and told us that there is no need to buy a suite, we can borrow one and even if it is too big we can use some pins to make it appear ok in the foto( lift the skirt at the necessary level, make our sleeves shorter by rounding them inside whatever it takes as long as it can't be seen in the photo)

-your shirt, or blouse(you are allowed to) has to show your neck entirely but cover your chest well, as we are talking about an arab culture, and they said it can be any colour, including black if compliments you
-you have to have colour skin stockings that compliment your skin tone
-you have to wear heels, it is compulsory to be closed shoes (court shoes for example)
-the only jwelery you can have is earings that are not hanging, and if it is the case the wedding ring
-your hair has to be neatly tied back (if is shoulder lenght), they need to clearly see your face
-make-up should follow EK style...look at some ek cabin crew pictures and you will see the make-up they wear, the famous red lip-stick :)
-the body posture is the most important: you have to stand tall facing the camera, so they can see both your ears, showing a welcoming smyle, your arms have to be around your body but not to cover your hips, your legs have to be either parallel or one foot slightly forward so they can see both your legs entirely

Passport:

Photos have to be made in the same outfit and look as the full lenght ones and of course a lovely smyle

About men pictures, I am sorry but at our AD we did not had any boy and they did not mention the body posture or anythingh else.

I wish you best of luck Duckling, and follow Mari's advice: research a lot about Emirates before you go to the OD/AD. It will increase your self confidence which is a must for you to be successful!

Kind regards,
Alex

Hey! Does anyone know the of people in London assestment day...and how many of them end up being hired?Is it hard to get the invite? Where does it usually take place???

Also does anyone have info about previous Budapest OD

I would be really happy if someone could share some info...:)

...And if I apply online to some OD and they send me not shortlisted,does that mean I can not attend any OD in next 6months?

Thank you so much:O

You can attend an OD even if you weren't shortlisted. If you attend an AD there has to pass a 6 months period so you can reapply if you didn't make it to the FI and 1 year if you have made it all the way through but didn't got selected.

Hi ally thank you for your reply, I dont have suit will it matter if the colours do not match? can i just wear a long sleave black shirt and a skirt with heels?

and can i have a side fringe? a little bit?

Duckling
 

Hi Duckling - have a look through the previous forums. It might take you awhile to get through the topics, but look out for the big posts that will tell you everything you need to know about an open day (how to present yourself, what will happen etc) and applying for Emirates. Good luck!

Duckling
 

As mari said take your time to read this forum. Emirates
Recruitment VII has hundred of this questions answered.

Ally23x has told you already everything you need for that
picture, and i mean EVERYTHING. Stocking, hair, jacket,
skirt.:confused: Borrow one if you don't have
one. It is just a picture. I took mine at home and i
still got the job. Ally even told what to do if the suit
is to big for your body.
If you are that insecure why don't you do as she said.


Best of luck with the open day.
:cool:

Duckling
 

Hey sweety!

What I wrote earlier is precisely what they told us. From what they told us, I understand they want to be able to imagine from your picture how you would look in their uniform. So I believe is a must to have a suite. But as I said you can borrow one from your friends.

About fringes on one side, I would recomend you don't...as they said your hair style has to be neat, but is your choice.

I would recomend you to follow all the guidelines I mentioned earlier, because if you don't, they will ask you to do the photos again...on your expense. I had very very nice pictures but I had one foot slightly covering the other and they asked me to do my photos again (everything else being precisely as they were asking). It is your choice if you follow what I said, but it is what they were asking and if you don't follow now, you might still follow these later.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi emirategirl,

I'll be going also.

Hi ally23X,

Thanks for posting that information.

Hi guys,
I didn't receive any answer from EK after 6 wks. No rejection mail nor GC.!!!
My FI was in Sep 2nd in Montreal Canada. We were 3 in FI and no one of us get an answer. I think they forget us or we are " victims " of the conflict btwn UAE and CANADA:\.
I send them an email, no answer. I tried multiple time to call them no answer....
I am so confused, what should i do?
Good luck for everyone here :) .

Does anyone know if EK contacted the references that you provided? And if so...did they contacted you before in order to anounce you as they said they will?

Thank you!
