hi,
thanx for the info. but would like to make a point that emirates have a couple of standard questions which they review from time to time. refering to an earlier post by meisu from thailand( not sure abt country) i found that the question paper we both got were the same. this prompted me to ask for what were the other questions.do not know how accurate the judgement is but i think unless they see this post i might be getting something similar. ultimately what matters is how well u perform on the "day".
'we should all help each other'- something which seems to be disappearing real fast in today's world. sorry but it is a fact.
lets try and change this.
any other info would be of great help. anything which may seem ordinary but which will have an influence on the final result.

Hi there, basically for the first 6 months you are under probation and if you wish to leave you just need to give a weeks notice as do EK if they wish to terminate your contract. Normally after this you are given a 3year contract which you or Emirates can break with a months notice unless there is some reason i.e you are HIV, pregnant etc in which case you leave pretty much as soon as. Otherwise they are very good and flexible to your needs. There is no bond or penalty for leaving at all and they are a great airline to work for. Good luck and happy flying

Dear Gege,
Thank you for the info!
I really dont want to take the chance with candid pictures, so I will be applying with professional pics - then again in the same breath, I think candid pics are a little more personal - but thats only my opinion.
Guys, does anyone know if YOU MUST have an invite to the Emirates open days eg - Birmingham on the 15th? Did anyone attend ANY Emirates Opendays without one?? Is this really valid as they are able to scrap you mid stream regardless.... any info people would be great!!!!
BTW - If anyone is attending the Birmingham Open day - drop me an email or pvt msg.
Take care all

Well done!! I have been with emirates for 3 years, it a tough interview. When i had mine in 2000 we have 3 group games, some quite difficult, basically tips i can give you are: try not to be the group leader, dont over participate, be a good listener, ackowledge what people say, good eye contact, sit straight, dont cross legs, they will be watching you as soon as you walk in, be friendly so everyone, say hi, blah blah, be early and look very smart.
They are looking for a follower, good team player, friendly, interactive!! Good luck, if you havent heard in a month it means you more or less have it, those who hear straight away dont!! Dubai have to approve you, it took them 6 months for me!! Then others have been luckier, call after a couple of weeks to see how your interview went, shows your keen!!
GOOD LUCK!!

I went to the open day at man yesterday and 120 people turned up. We handed in our c.v. 's and photos, watched a video about Emirates and then asked questions. No interviews happened because so many people turned up. It did sound exciting and i'm just waiting to hear if i get an interview

Hi,
If its an open day interview, what is the recommended dress code for males and females out there who wants to know.
Should we carry bags, etc ? I reckon there'll be alot of people going down therefore there would be no personal interview session.

I attended the open day in Perth, and it went pretty much like I expected.
1. Video
2. Take our resumes
3. Make us wait for over an hour
4. Sorry we didn't realise so many people would turn up (Yeah right, it's happened every other time you've been here!)
5. If we call you by 6pm we'll interview you, if not wait 2-3 months and we'll call you next time we're in Perth
Bit of a waste of time, but fun just to get out there and talk to others who are interested in the same thing. I met some really nice people who would have been wonderful for the job...Ex Ansett Crew, other QF short listers, but we weren't given the chance to prove ourselves.
I got 5 phone numbers from other people, and NONE of us got a call back, and we were all QF short listers or ex air crew. I think it's a bit mean to get everyone's hopes up, then let us all down. Why not tell us in the first place it's purely an information day and a chance to submit resumes, rather than telling us they'll call when they have no intention to?!?!?!
By the way, if anybody from Perth did get a call, let us know, and I take back what I'm saying, but I have a feeling they didn't call anybody.
Did the same thing happen in Brisbane??

Hi Sarah!
I would've loved to get there and had planned to, but got pulled away at the last second. Didn't last time they have an EK walk in session in Perth, only about 6 or 8 resumes or something like that actually got sent back to Dubai for approval? I remember a lot of unhappy people putting posts on here (correct me if i'm wrong). Will definately be at the next one, although i expect it to be like the last two, however like you said Sarah, it's great to get out there and learn more about the airline and meet all of those other wonderful people in the same position!!!!
Good luck!
ps- how did you go with BA Sarah?

Hey crazysapphire!
I don't mean to put anybody off! Just go along and see what happens! I'm sure Emirates won't fly all the way around the world and see absoloutely nobody. It makes no sense!
So GOOD LUCK for the 15th, and I wish you better luck than me!
Ozcabincrew...BA is a little dilemma for me...
1. At the moment I don't have enough money for the airfare back to London, but that should be ok very soon. (hahaha...STUPIDDDDDDDD me!!!)
2. With the amount they pay me, I'll have just enough to cover rent, bills and food. Unfortunately it's way too expensive to ship all my things over to London, such as my car, stereo, TV, VCR, microwave, fridge, bed etc. and since they only pay me enough to cover rent, food and bills, how the heck do I buy all these nessecities such as a bed, and I'll DEFINATELY be needing a really powerful heater???!!! I REALLY don't want to sleep on the COLD floor.
So if ANYONE has any ideas, PLEASEEEEEE let me know! I REALLY want to take this job!

Perth Open Day..
Hey Flying Sarah
Thanks for the feedback, I was expecting it would turn out like that, and I'm sure the same will happen on the Melbourne Open Day next week...
I'm not sure what Emirates is thinking but it is very annoying to think they advertise for these stupid open days and act as if they didnt think so many people would turn up . At the last Melbourne Open Day they had 1000 people waiting and they turned away everyone. Many applicants had come from all over Australia.
My friends over in Dubai say that Emirates is desperate for cabin crew, however they seem to be doing alot of nothing..
Anyway, now that I have that out of my system I feel a little better.. My only explanation for the Open Day is that the recruiters need an excuse to travel around the world and get paid to do so, so some head honcho has devised this Open Day idea
.. Good idea I think.
Cheers Guys

Patence is a virtue. if they collect your resumes then be assured, they will definitely go through them and if you happen to have what they are looking for you definitely will get the call. remember their HR department has to handle around 1000 CV's that they got at the last open day held in dubai. might take some time, but we can wait cant we???
cant we???

Emirates open day
Hey ya'll out there
After having been to 2 EK open days - can fully understand your frustration. Went to 1 in Johannesburg, so many people turned up that it caused a stampeed, people tried to climb over the hotel fence to get seen. I ended up in squashed in a pile-up in the garden. (can laugh about it now) Hopefully this was a once off. People had also driven and flown from all parts of the country.(Feb 2002). Again it was cancelled.
I have just been to the 1 held in London, again loads of people turned up, their conference facility could only handle 50 at a time. I was one of the 1st there as the ad said 09h00 sharp. It started late, and no register was taken of what time you arrived so I could've arrived any time that day. Saying all that I refused to scrum up with the masses and waited all day to been seen with the last group at 16h00 that afternoon.
Even though I think the process is disorganised and unprofessional, if you want it badly enough - I guess you have to do what it takes. I'm still going to give it a shot.
