Well, if you go on the Emirates homepage, an African girl is smiling at you in Emirates uniform... (All the models are Emirates cabin crew.) Emirates does hire boys and girls from all over the world.
Welcome to Emirates Group Careers Centre - Work for Emirates However, there are thousands applicants for each AD in the African countries, so it's quite difficult to get an invite!!! It's also difficult to be chosen as there are hundreds of applicants at the assessment days. It's harder for boys as 75% of the crew must be female, so they obviously hire less boys than girls. You said you work for a British airline but I don't know where you are based. If you have a chance to go for an assessment day in the UK, I would rather try that if I were you. |

For those who tried again after the FI
Hi,
My question is for those people who tried for Emirates the second time after their Final Interview & waiting for 1 year period.:) When you re-applied to Emirates online for an Open Day, did you use your old account ( from when you were unsuccessful), or did you create a new account:confused:? Any insight on this would be useful, thankyou:rolleyes: |
Hi, I'm planning to apply as a Cabin Crew for Emirates in Hong Kong this June 10, but I'm afraid I have to go through their Agency which is SASS Atlantic -- this agency is based in Singapore. When I asked them (SASS) they said they only hire Chinese-speaking applicants? It's really weird for EK.
In any case, I'm just wondering because they said that preliminary selections on the open day will be done in conjunction with their appointed agency which is SASS Atlantic. Does this mean I have to get assessed by SASS Atlantic? I'm worried because I'm from another country and I plan to visit HK just for that Open Day (ticket prices are uber high). I just want to make sure that I get a chance and not be denied entry on an Open Day because I'm not Chinese-speaking. Please help me out! I've been wanting to apply as a cabin crew for Emirates because they have the best salary and benefits! I also want to help my family out. |
DOJ 20th June 2011
Hi
My doj is 20th June too. I am soooo excited and cant wait to move to Dubai. Do you know when we will know about our accommodation? x |
Please help
Can someone please help me. I need to the 12 destinations that EK flies on A380, can someone please tell me that?
|
Piyal
Check out the EK (main not careers) website. Everything you need to know about the A380 is there. Good research tool ;)
|
TheRedHatGirl
Thanks. I have been doing a lot of research, for the work book given and otherwise also. I think I got a little lost on their site, and missed the details I wanted. I will check again. Actually, I have been pretty confused about choosing between a380 and regular fleet, so trying to make a choice. Can you help me please.
|
@ Piyal / A380 Info
Hi Piyal, please see this site
Emirates A380 Flight Schedule | The Emirates A380 | Our Fleet | Flying with Emirates | Emirates How is it working on the A380? A380 means less destinations but more days off. It has great destinations and usually long-haul flights:ok: |
Just go to EK website and look under 'Flying With Emirates'. It's not hard to find there, just have a look round. If I tell you exactly where to get it, you won;t learn anything will you :p
I'm not sure what is all this talk of 'choosing a fleet'. If you've been send the work book and are a week or so from joining then unless you've been advised otherwise I'd say you're 99% getting main fleet. No one I know of turned up in Dubai to be told they would be on A380, it all happened before they flew to join. Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear! |
Torontofly: Thanks for the link. hope your photos are sorted. Let me know if you need help.
ThatRedHatGirl: I agree, I need to explore the site myself to know things. Thanks for the Opening but. Well, actually, I was offered A380 during FI. which I had declined. But now just wondering if I did the right thing. Because, someone I know who flies the A380, said I could ask for it now, if I want to. so, that got me confused. |
Good Sunday to all here!
I want to show you a little youtube video that I found after seeing the one Torontofly posted. In this, pay special attention to the "Emirates Smiles" part... you can see some of the X-factor there for sure ;) Ps: Hey, how do I embed the video here? can't seem to find the right code to paste between de Youtube tags. :bored: ---> EDITED!! I just pasted the long link without tags and it turned automatically into the video. And another one! Look at the Lounge in minute 1:10-ish, and then another episode of "Emirates Smiles" for you to look and learn, I particularly love how the passenger is so satisfied with the service! That's when you know he'll be flying with EK for life! |
Piyal,
well the way I see it, if you have not flown before then it is probably good to start on main fleet, see lots of destinations and you wouldn't know any different with the turnarounds and 'bad' flights like people who have flown before. You could apply for A380 after 6-12 months (or maybe sooner if they are desperate for crew!) But for those who have flown before it seems lots of them get put to A380, maybe they like experienced crew there. If you don't really feel one way or the other then don't worry about it, but if you really wanted A380 I suppose it wouldn't hurt to say so. Since you already declined them though my guess is main fleet. You can try applying later perhaps. Yeah the EK website is a good place to find the answers for your book, its how I filled mine out :8 |
And if you thought you couldn't find more videos, they keep getting better and better!! This one is about the A380, the seats and also the crew. I like paying attention to details in them, their looks and how they talk to the passenger, answer his questions thoroughly and always very politely (of course, EK smile inluded!)
This one includes male and female crew, asian, blonde, black.. see for yourself: Hope you like it :ok: |
Mari or ThatRedHatGirl
Please help me out,just wondering,wether Ek will hire me,i have a slight squint,its not permnent,it only appears when i take my glasses off:confused:
|
Dream82
Dont be worried about that...my best friend had the same problem..hers to were only visible when she removed her her glasses but guess what...she is working for EK as we speak...Go for it and dont get worried. Be confident and happy about yourself....:ok:These are the few reasons why one might not be successful in an interview
|
i am a size 37.5 and curvy black African female,from the videos i have watched of emirates cabin crew,the ladies are really slim.only a few days to the Nairobi AD,I hope they really don't lean much on my size and color and consider other qualities that I believe I posses.:cool:
to all those attending the AD,all the best.:p:p |
casual pics
hello guys- for the casual pics do i have to take it on plain background or anywhere.
clothes (blue jeans and white t-shirt) |
dreams82 What do you mean by 'squint'? Your eyes get a little crossed? Bear in mind that glasses are not permitted in EK standards, but you can use soft permeable contact lenses... so maybe your little worry goes away with them. However I read Mari posted before that you can wear your glasses only with a letter of your doctor telling that you can't wear contact lenses anymore and you have to submit a new letter every three months. Oh and if you don't have problems using your contacts, you should always have a pair of backup glasses just in case. ;)
Daisy Akinyi useful list, let's turn it to the opposite for the TO DO list akoti19 For the color you shouldn't be the least bit worried, EK doesn't care about that. As for your size, calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) it should be in the normal range between 19-24. (google BMI calculators online! there are tons!) If yours is between 16-18/25-30 they see if you have an appropriate body frame and proportions. Below 16 and above 30 are unacceptable. spikes2485 take your casual photos in casual locations (a.k.a. anywhere!) they can be on your holidays, in a park, in your backyard, with a view... etc. They should be full lenght without sunglasses, your face must be clear to recognize you. Make sure you don't look too different from the bussiness attire pics. And remember, no party pictures: no drinks in your hand, no cigarettes, no people in the background and it is better if you are alone. |
Important question!
A European girl living in Dubai can attend an EK's Open Day there or they just recruit to National girls (Arabs)???
:hmm::hmm::hmm: |
