Status doesn't chandes for a long time
 

Hello all!
Does anybody know how long I can wait after my FI for my status has changed from "Approval in progress". Its have past more than 7 weeks after FI and nothing has changed from that moment. Neither rejection e-mail, no "will be contacted". They only called we for about 3 weeks before and asked to send another one photo in jeans and t-shirt..
What shell I do?To send them an e-mail with my question? As in FI has been told, that we ll have ours outcomes after 6 weeks sharply.

Thank you.

Hard to believe they said 6 weeks sharp.
The 6 weeks period is more like an average waiting time. Some people get called after just 2 weeks, others wait way longer that 6 weeks.

Remember no news is good news.

Good luck to you.

Think again before you join..
The management of Emirates is ridiculous..

About essay
 

Hi everybody.

Im preparing OD in Toronto, which be held in Nov.
I have a question about OD. Do we have to write an essay? I dont have any idea about the open day so it would be great if any of you have some information to share with me.

Thanks.

Mariposa, our recruitment officers told us that we should call them if we haven't heard back from them after 6 weeks.

Audrey Kim, yes there is an essay question. Ours was to describe a mistake we made at work and what we learned from it.
My advice is to power through the multiple choice as best you can to make sure you leave enough time for the essay. It needs to be about a page and a half; if you're worried about your essay writing skills, practice before you go.

Applying for Emirates
 

Hi Guys,

I wish that anybody will help me with my case as its little bit complicated.

Back in January 2011 I worked as cabin crew for a low cost carrier and I didnt stay for a long time, I had to resign on April same year due to a personal problems back home. Then I joined Emirates in February 2012 but in the ticketing division and when i applied with them I applied with my cv that doesnt have the crew experience on it and I always wanted to be a cabin crew with Emirates and I tried many times while im working internally but my manager didnt accepy my application and told me that i have a big chance if i applied from outside the company. Now as i am already out of the company I wanna so much to give it a try but the main thing that what if i got accepted and everything went fine then i have a flight attendant licinse already and as an ex employee they will check my data with my staff number and will take my cv from there which doesnt have the experience of the cabin crew.. Please help me what shall i do? I wanna so much to apply and give it a shot... I hope you will be able to help me .

If you go to an Open Day, you drop the CV off then. Make sure it has the crew experience on there.

Just put it on the CV you apply with. If they ask, you can say it wasn't relevant to a reservations job (it's really not, aside from the generic "customer service" aspect, which I assume you already had from some other job to be accepted into reservations/ticketing in the first place)

They really don't care, since they train you their own way. So long as you can explain it, will be a non-issue in my opinion....

thanks for your reply but I didn't stay for a long time and then i left , only after two months which is im afraid it will be a concern for them. I am so worried about that before even applying.

Its been 8 weeks since I have done the Final Interview with EK for cabin crew positions, and I still haven't heard anything back since then, they told me I will hear back within 6 to 8 weeks but nothing yet :ugh:.
I sent them an email and all what I got back is an automated reply..

Anyone here have waited that long? does that mean I shoud just wait and do nothing about it? And can they say a No for the job after 8 weeks?

6 months waiting email
 

Hi All,

I recieved the email after my final interview that states 'we will place your file temporarily on hold for six months' on 23rd of October 2013.

I understand there is about 4 months to go, does anyone have anyfeed back about people getting through after this?

Many Thanks

Hi guys, I really wanna apply for emirates as cc but there is a thing that is worrying me: I have a tattoo in the middle of my lower arm - it is completely covered and not visible when wearing long sleeves - as ek only have long sleeved shirts for men, I thought I would be fine .

I researched the internet and What I found was mixed opinions about it which really confused me : some people say it's okay for guys and not for girls, others say it is totally unacceptable .

I have read you are given a diagram at the interview where you need to cross the location of your tattoo , but are there two different ones (one male body one female body) or is it the same for everyone?

What do you guys think? Do I have to get it lasered off or I will be okay?

Thanks for your help xx

EMIRATES INTERVIEW BOOK
 

Does anybody know where I can get a hold of the Emirates interview book written by Caitlyn Rogers??


Thanks http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smile.gif

Re: "How to Become Emirates Cabin Crew"
 

I have seen a copy of this book and I actually wouldn't recommend it. It is now really quite outdated and basically tells you to stand out from the crowd when in actual fact Emirates want people who blend in.

Hi Miss F,


Oh thanks so much. I wont bother trying to track down a copy anymore then :)

male crew
 

does anyone have any idea whether the restriction on hiring male cc has been 'lifted'?

FI time
 

iI had my final interview today, but it lasted only 40 min, does it means that i failed ?
I had difficulties to respond of some questions in a perfect english :(

Rups - I only know that you had to reach 212cm - ladies without your heels and men with your shoes im pretty sure!!!!
