HELP
 

Hi people,
I'm in desperate need of help, I have stressed over the passed week finally had my pictures done and applied for the assessment day for th1 14th December, but now emiartes got back to me advising me to go on to Newcastle ont he 27th, its too far away and i have no means of travelling there. How do i request to go to the one in Birmingham or London?
Does anyone know? because i chose those dates i'm working part time and i can't just take any day off.

please help i'm in desperate need :)

p.s they gave me no form of contact details.

But the contract from Emirates clearly states that "lingual" braces are allowed

Golden Call from EK
 

Those who got the GC from EK recently, could you see the number on your mobile, that the call was from UAE or the number is not displayed on the phone? Just worrying as I passed a call two days a go but I can't see any number :rolleyes: Hopefully they will call me soon...waiting for my GC since 7 weeks now..

It varies. I have two friends who were called on a private number, and another friend who had a Dubai number come up. Sorry that doesnt really answer your question!

Perkin //Alpha Echo// gtbfly
 

Perkin and alpha echo, I guess it depends depends on their needs, gender, languague, etc. From my AD only 6 or 7 girls got their GC, and 13 to 14 guys theirs GC too.
So the the relationship in our group was 2 to 1 in our favor. More guys than girls:}

They were looking for more guys in our Ad perhaps, Who knows for sure. Do not lose hope and give it a try.:cool:

Gtbfly. If they are lingual braces, and the missing teeth are not visible, then tell your dentist when he is filling the appendix 5 to write in general appearance that your general appearance is healthy, the missing teeth are unnoticeable and cosmetically acceptable. :}

The dentist should specify the treatment carried out, they are not visible and will not cause you trouble in your performance for instance.


Good look to you all guys and see you in Dubai in 2 weeks probably!!!!:ok:

The number on my cellphone appeared as a Private number, meaning that the number was not displayed. Let's hope it wasnt your GC. So start answering even without knowing who is making the call.:ok:

Thanks I_love_EK and Biotech for your reply. Yes, I really wonder who might have called me. Of course I hope they will call me again. Waiting is quite tiring without knowing if all the documents I submitted was complete or whether my FI was not good enough for them:sad:

The girl in my batch got a call from EK, but they asked her to send EK some passport pictures and they will then contact her again in about two or three weeks..

Anyone got a GC from a private number? :confused:

Abigail
 

I believe that was your GC, as when they called me the number also was not displayed!
NO NUMBER was on my log after the call was ended!
you'de better try to contact them they once you missed your first call, they take too long before they call again ( a friend of mine had to wait one month after missing the first call )

wish you best of luck!

Oh..thank you for your reply. It makes me a little bit better :O
Do you know the number of the HR-Department which I can contact?
Anyway I suppose they are not working today (Saturday) in UAE but tomorrow yes (Sunday). Am I right?

Life Post joining EK
 

Hi everyone!
I have not been on the forum for so long!Just wanted to give a little post joining info to those who are joining soon.

I joined 5th of October and I have not looked back.I'm in my final week of training now and will start flying on the 25th of November. So far training has been really hectic, really hectic.Long days and studying at night, but I have had awesome trainers, it's been lots of fun.

I love Dubai, I have been having the most amazing time here, there is just too much to do and see.Beach party at the Palm this week, desert safari the next, or just hanging at the pool on the roof of your building if your broke(which is very likely.hehe). I have met awesome people from all over the world, I have friends litterally from every continent.I have become such good friens with those that were also on the portal and joined with me. Of course there is ALWAYS negative people, but thats life, its your attitude at the end of the day.I feel priviledged to be here and EK makes you feel really special as well.Because if you get chosen you are really special.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me.

We had to be dressed in a knee length skirt/dress with skin color stockings,for ladies that is and for men it was a plain suit.The recruiters:two ladies,came in a bit late and some other people,my stocking got torn in the morning and had to wait till 8a.m to get a new one despite waking up at 5a.m and being ready by 6a.m....that really pissed me off but oh well what to do.When I got there they were doing the presentations about Emirates Airline and it was not until after the Question and Answer session that they gave us numbers they told us they did not need the Letters of invitation which had our reference no.since they already had our names I guess that is when it really started.We were then told to sit in groups around 30people in each group 105 in total,told to inquire from the person on our right their greatest achievement and present it to the group meanwhile each of us taking the reach test as they asked us what we do currently,I said hello and told her am a student at University she was like thats good but when I mentioned that am a second year (since I started doing my Business administration degree combining it with my Tourism Management degree at an American university) she was like 'so you have two more years to go' the way she said it made me feel uneasy almost like go back to school and finish your studies first.
Later,the other group was asked to give reasons why our government should have a space centre while our group was asked to give reasons why not.Later they came and chose specific people from both groups to present our findings,they all got through to the next round.Most of the very loud and domineering people where out and during this elimination,105 people they chose only sixteen after this stage and yeah I got cut out.One recruiter liked a certain girl she had been quite nervous when she presented and after she called her name to get her letter,she was like,wait,she went in and got another one which she gave her and she was in.I'll finish my studies before reapplying.All the best to the anyone going for any interview.:)

Pm me then i provide the contacts!

@Himmelmat
i uploaded my medicals 1 week ago, then i asked EK how long does it take approximately to get them approved, they said that it has been notified to the right person already and they shall revert to me soon!!
however i know that probably they will only reply one month prior to joining as they did with many people!

FINALLY!
 

Hi guys,

After 4 and a half long weeks I finally got the GC today!

My DOJ is 17th January (anyone else have this date?)

Sam :)

Congratulations Sam on receiving your GC!!! You've been very helpful throughout this forum so very well deserved:) Best wishes!

Samantha in sydney
 

Congrats sam!!! Very well deserved I hope to see you over there :-)

@miyaco and Himmelmat
 

Finally after a month there's some news they have approved my documents for security but still waiting for final approval on my medicals. How are you doing? best of luck

!
 

Thanks for your kind words everyone! I'm very excited!

For those of you who are wondering... they NEVER called my referees.

I'm not sure if maybe they will contact my referees after I do my medicals/security check, but why would they if they have already called me?

Leiser182 - See you on January 17th! Are you on face book? Send me your details!
