Re: Paul E, Syd Girl etc...
Paul E, now that explains it! Yes of course u have been rejected cos of applying on line and not being short-listed, then turning up to an Opening Day when u should know not to turn up within 6 months unhless u made it through to final therefore 1 year. By teasing the system and trying to slip through, u may have been black-listed, I can't guarantee, but if I had 100 applicants that I declined to employ and told them to get back to me in 6 months and that was the only way to continue to succeed to the airline, and 2 of those 100 tried to slip through at O.D.... what do u think will be put on your file in Dubai????? Presentable too determined, tried to slip through, how do we know he won't try and slip a friend through in a hotel room and have a party during lay over, how do we know he won't steal a bottle of champagne from J class and take home with him etc........
Syd girl is right.... u don't perhaps fit heir mold, but others do and love the job and stayed well beyond the 3 yr contract, EK actually hopes that you fulfil 2 contracts 6 yrs..... but average is 4 yrs,,, one contract and completing b4 end of next.
Read syd girls final comments, very valid
Paul E... u mention friends have a solid background in Hospitality and u have strong Customer Service... how do u know that EK does not want Brick layers, fire-fighters, Nurses, solicitors, Dentists???? funny as it sounds, these people have not been moulded the way u perhaps have. Working for top hotels and resorts often are a negative, as u have been showed the way of the hotel/resorts style. A nurse will only know things about hospital and carting for patients, but not serving of F&B etc.... they may well prefer this, I know for a fact that moulded people are in a ways outsiders.
How do u know that I am not a recruiter for EK and I toy with ppl on forums to see who has attitude and who does not. i tell u something I would be able to eliminate so fast that you would be mind boggled. Yet on the other hand I have noted some sensations and people that r up-lifting and really helping others and even when they did not get through passed on info to others and supported them, do u think i would not go to their file and trype "hire in 6 months, upon positive presentation".
Think about it!

Dear onlyemirates, Sydgirl and crew.
Thank you.
Every single point you bought up is valid and I do understand where you are coming from, now. However, the only reason why I attended the open day was because I had heard nothing from Emirates re: online application and then literally days prior to the O.D I received the email "thanks but no thanks" and I put it down to photo's I submitted on the online application.
Maybe it is a fault or flaw within my character to want something so much that I will travel half way across the country for it. Booking train tickets, cabs, bus tickets, taking unpaid time off work, getting my shifts covered, haircut etc to get me there and then having to cancel them all last minute?? Te me didn’t make sense, especially when I don’t have ££££ to throw around town - as we all know London is NOT the cheapest city in the world.
I saw it as a last ditch attempt to "go for it". As they say miracles can happen. Something within me just knew I was going to get that call. Sounds weird but I always follow my gut instincts.... and I went for it. I follow the belief of "expect nothing and anything you receive is really a bonus."
"... how do u know that EK does not want Brick layers, fire-fighters, Nurses, solicitors, Dentists????" I don’t know. No one knows this except for those people who are in the know. My point I was trying to convey was that they state people must have a customer service background...what is deemed a customer service background? Without bringing in the endless stalks of preconceived notions of "customer service"
"How do u know that I am not a recruiter for EK and I toy with ppl on forums to see who has attitude and who does not."
Again I don’t know this because your identity has remained within the shadows. However, this time I threw the bait and you lunged for it. Be it me sacrificing my Emirates career for the sake of everyone finding out - is something I might have already done?! And I can only hope that people will be able to confirm the information they are receiving is correct, accurate and coming from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. Regardless of who you are I know for a fact that your information has proved priceless. One can only see that this post is still getting hits and countless messages that keep appearing and regardless of your identity - I’m sure people like me quietly do thank you for this!
So either which way I will wait, take some time out, obviously reassess the situation and if the time is right - reapply.
Take care all and keep on posting people!

The Emirates Thread...
Hi All....
This Emirates thread would have to go down as one of the all time favourites.. Between, EK Staff, Applicants, Annoyed people and "Mysterious Individuals", there is a wealth of information....
Onlyemirates I will not ask who you are again, coz obviously you are choosing not to state who you work for, for personal reasons...
I must say very interesting facts about firefighters, bricklayers etc.... In March 2003 a friend of mine attended the EK interviews in Melbourne and in her session there was a Bricklayer and Carpenter both arabic back ground... They actually got through and are now flying for Emirates... At the end of the day, it does not matter what your background is because the job of a FA can be taught.
Interesting information all round....
Ciao Guys....

update
o.k Paul, glad u have seen your faults, work on them and perhaps next time. If u are overly ambitious, it will show in your first group session within the O.D process anyways. People that desperately want to work for the airlines are at times runninga way from other problems, this gives them a great "tunnel". As I have stated natuaral ppl get through overly ambitious ones, don't ane if they do they won't last long and they are the ones resigning and not completing the 3 yr contract, like your friends u mentioned b4.
I'd hate to say it, the most successful ppl with EK r the ones least expected, that is why the Brickies and carpenters etc.... they are generally happy within themselves and shows. EK recently hired a chap that came into O.D bruised, bleeding, had bandages everywhere a real mess, but the chap was such a a sweetheart, got right through a nd was hired, he is one of the most loved CC. Down 2 Earth, and took ages to fix him up in Deportment but the potential was their and NO ATTITUDE. I notice an attitude in your manor and HR senses that. With time u will settle, and know what u really want
One pointer 4 u!
U have not been too bright with your postings, and your identity is far too real. U have mentioned Paul E from Sydney living in London, 23 yrs of age etc.....now comments that are offensive to airlines etc......can be traced and logged in thedata file. However, I made a mistake a couple of weeks ago, in testing someone, that i thought was fabricating something, i was right at the end, got a personal msg in my inbox.........but u c, noone knows so they can't go to any file and say.... She said something, terminate her......!!! know what I mean? incidentally the comment I made was re: age...... the lower end limit stays the same I stick by that and no change, the upper end has changed, at first we thought it was just to stop the anti-discrimimation in certain countries, but EK has lifted it's age like Gulf and I am told that the age limit now is at 34, but don't take my word for it, that needs to come from Head Office
happy postings!
Syd... Mel......candidates, one hinter....... if u have ridiculous messages on your mobile phone or home, change it..... soon u will hear if you have been successful to 1st day etc....if u have not heard already, and check those e-mails
good luck!

Onlyemirates,
After your comment below:
"How do u know that I am not a recruiter for EK and I toy with ppl on forums to see who has attitude and who does not. i tell u something I would be able to eliminate so fast that you would be mind boggled. Yet on the other hand I have noted some sensations and people that r up-lifting and really helping others and even when they did not get through passed on info to others and supported them, do u think i would not go to their file and trype "hire in 6 months, upon positive presentation".
To be honest, I found it funny that a company, especially EK would, judging by your comment above and other remarks I'm assuming, employ and pay someone to sit online for most or part of their day emailing on an aviation forum...........because that's what it sounds like your making your occupation out to be.........for what benefit to EK, purely to try and match up chatters chat names with info they have on here while trying to piece together their background in the event that you may happen to stumble across it throught the 1000's of applications that EK get, simply to wrtie on their file, was not strong enough in chat room, or didn't share information to fellow ppruners about recrutiment. So if you do work for EK, I would be concerned that you don't have something better to do than simply chatting on here making out that you have some sort of authority with EK CC recruitment.
Seriously, and to state quite boldly that the company does discriminate, to the detail that you have openly listed, I'm sure is not the image that Emirates would want you to be portraying to the hundreds of people registered on here and viewing this information. It would make for quite a lovley lawsuit against EK in somewhere like the UK, U.S.A or Australia.
Futhermore if you are or were an employee of EK making these admissions on here and I was your manager, I would have you fired......it would be interesting to show the EK Public Relations department your posts revealing the very unprofessional and disriminatory ways of their recruitment and see their response.....
I think the info you have provided too is very standard and general information about EK that most people know and assume anyway.
So, having said that, once again I don't know your position or even if you have one, but keep your eye out for me at the EK interviews.........my call sign is venus400, and oh.....I will be the male or female from the UK wearing a suit! Hopefuly you figure out who I am and can make a note and put it on the EK database about my doubtfulness of your authority within EK CC recruitment.
Cheers,
Venus

Don't know why u assume, when I have never stated that I work for EK, I'm monitoring EK for other reasons. Yes, u r right, how would one be able to match up all applicants via forums.... virtually imposibble, but in some instances quite easy and that is why I referred to someone using his own identity to not.
Again u r right, be stupid of EK to pay someone and waste their time to follow chat rooms for recruitment, but if I may say, I run 4 businesses, all doing swell, my new "baby" to do with why I am temporarily looking at these forums has taken off as well and in a way I am employed by EK, cos if it was not for EK I would not be viewing these chat rooms and getting paid for it.
Good luck with your London interview, with a chip on your shoulder and an attention seeker, u won't get through the 2nd group discussion.
AS for discrimination, yes I mentioned that and it is true and everybody knows that, so nobody would be able to take anyone to court as we have evidence left right and centre.
Again, good luck Uranus 400,oops I mean Venus 400

onlyemirates,
What upset me in your previous post is this..
Good luck with your London interview, with a chip on your shoulder and an attention seeker, u won't get through the 2nd group discussion
That is not a very nice thing to say. You do not even know the person to whom you are referring, yet you are quite happy to insult them! I think that comment is rude and ignorant, despite the fact you may have added some valuable comments previously; the above statement removed all credibility.
I personally have no desire to fly for EK, however am quite happy to encourage and support others as they go through the process. I don't think that is a lot to ask, airline interviews are already the cause of much stress - and the support of those who have been there done that is most invaluable. Sorry if you disagree.
My 2 cents.
SG

Dear SydGirl,
Your words are utter wisdom! End of section. Thats all Im going to say on this matter.
Thank you again SG for my words of engouragement - I have my PRELIM INTERVIEW NEXT MONTH - for all of you who did NOT THINK I was "interesting" or valuable for EK!! I have been called back for the the upcoming interviews. I wish everyone and ANYONE the same! As we are all here for a positive purpose, lets ignore the plight of ignorance and continue on our way of help and supporting ANYONE and EVERYONE on this channel.
Take care all and KEEP ON POSTING!

Sorry, I know we should be positive here, and stop this childish ranting, and I usually NEVER post negative posts, but I just have to say this.
Onlyemirates, for your information, the only wanna be crew here seems to be you!!!!! A lot of us are cabin crew, or training to be cabin crew! YOU'VE got the chip on your shoulder and are giving Emirates a bad name!
Enough said. GOOD LUCK to EVERYBODY who's applied, interviewed gone to open days etc. If you keep trying it WILL happen, and NEVER be put of by what ANYBODY has to say!

touchy crowd here
Interesting that of the 3 people I escorted to the Melb O.D, all got phone calls from DXB yesterday and the day b4 due to one key factor.... and they have skipped the prelim and will go straight to Interv.
Interesting of the 2 people i escorted to Syd O.D, I called for prelim ( don't know why should have got straight to Interv, and the other got called last night.
I'm not a wannabie I'm a makabie. Have made many ppl happy.
To the dozens of private help requests, I'm sorry I can no longer help. Contracted til only the last Syd girl got through and she has so I'm off.
No more from me, good luck to u all
Their are MANY key factors, quite simple to get into EK not difficult at all, u have to find them out, if know them, u r virtually guaranteed a contract. Some ppl on this forum get close to it, but not in the know, others just so confused.
Asta la vista!
To the 13 I've got through see u in DXB, and take sun lotion, u will need it!!!
