Hi there flyer2042,
Im not too sure.
But I'd assume they will use the ones you submitted at the Open day (if you attended) Other than that Im pretty sure its a head shot (passport size) and a full body. But please dont quote me on that!
****I have a prelim interview in JAN, and would love to hear from anyone else going or anyone who has been through the prelim process with EK. Please feel free to private message me for any suggestions, pointers or just general EK chat*****
I hope everyone is well, please take care.
Paule
Hey SG - thank you once again, I will be in contact in a few days!

Hi Flyer2042
The photos that you submit at the Final Interview are the most important of all. If you make it to the final interview it usually means that the Recruiters are thinking of making a "recommendation" to senior management in Dubai to employ you. Senior Management will look at these photos and make a decision based on them..
I know in the past many people have applied online and submitted poor quality photos. When they attended the final interview the recruiters asked them to take photos again. My opinion is make sure you are staisfied with the quality of your photos. Are you in a suit? Do you have a smile that looks welcoming? Are all physical features clear ie.. sking, hair, etc... Obiously the better your photos the more committed it appears that you are to get the job...
Good luck with it all and feel free to ask anymore more questions.....
Cheers

Hey Social !
Thanx for the reply. I didn't attend an open day , but I have been invited along to a prelim interview and was told that if I am successful then the final interview will be held the next day. I'm commuting to London from Ireland so I want to take the pics with me ( on the off chance I get through ! ) Do you know how many and what size/type of photos I need ?
Thanks again for your help !
Paule my interview is on the 19th.

e-mail from someone at emirates recruitment???
Hi everyone,
I'd like to ask you guys if anyone has an e-mail address of someone from Emirates recruitment dept. preferably of someone in high place...the manager recruitment himself maybe... But anything would use... If you can help please pm me if you think it wouldn't be appropriate to put this e-mail addresses in public.
Thx in advance, drive safely

Photos...
Hey Flyer...
You will need 2 photos...
Usually 1 Full Body Colour Shot, preferably standing front on.. Make sure your hands are not covering your waist, they should be two the side or behind your back... They are funny about applicants who cover the waist/groind area....
The 2nd photo should be a Head and Shoulder Shot. Many people say a passport photo will do, however it should be more like a portrait style photo which clearly shows your features and excellent grooming standards...
One of each type photo will do, however I would take some variety and let the recruiters choose what they want. The recruiters are actually very good with helping you out wit the photos...
Good Luck on the 19th and Let me know how you go... It would be a great Christmas present.....
Cheers

Thanks for all your help and advice social - it's proving invaluable.
Just one last question - sorry to be a pain ! But what way would you recommend that guys wear their hair to the interview ? I currently have my hair short and messed up with a small amount of gel - would that be appropraite or a bit too modern/ funky for a muslim airline ?
A stupid question I know - but it's the small things that matter ! haha
thanx ! Fingers xd for the 19th !

Hair...
Hey Flyer....
Here are some tips that may come in handy.. These are actually from they were posted on this forum a while ago so I thought i would re post them. The information was provided by a crew member who has been with the organisation for more than 4 years and has a great deal of knowledge..:
Guys - Neat Business attire a must, remember polish your shoes, nails should not be too short and clean (they will be looking), hair neat not below collar length, don't use too much product on your hair, keep it a little natural looking, definitely clean shaven, side burns should be shorter rather than long. DO NOT WEAR RINGS, if so then just simple ring will suffice in silver not gold, a nice complimentary watch that isn't too bulgy
Ladies - nice business attire again, skirt should be around knee length (not too short, remember its not a modelling interview), try to match your lipstick with your nails, preferably a reddish or neutral tone, make up should compliment your features, don't have wild colours as eye shadow, no dangly ear rings, studs only and one ear ring on each ear, long hair should be tied back in a bun, no pony tails longer than collar length, short hair should be neat and tidy.
I hope this gives a little more insight into what they are looking for.....
Cheers

Emirates, but not the usual stuff
All the best for the season everyone.
I have a question to anyone that can answer me. It is about EK but not your usual.
I was offered the job with Ek in Sept/Oct this year (received contract/ Start Date etc etc) but due to personal reasons had to turn down their offer. All throughout the process I kept them informed in DXB what was going on etc etc
I was just asking if anyone knew whether they allow reapplications, they have said that they do, but that came from DXB. Was just wondering if it would go against one for turning it down in the first place??
Anyone who has been in a similar situation/ has any answers would be much appreciated.
Also to all those that are going through the process at the moment, good luck and I hope it goes well. One thing I can say is that the information posted on here, really does help!
Happy new year

Hey Englishflyboy,
Yes, you can re-apply. One of my best friends was also in your situation and when the contract arrived, she had to decline their offer due to personal reasons. Once everything at home sorted itself out, she re-applied, was invited for an interview, and was offered the job again.

Firstly congrats on making it thru first time around.
I wouldnt waste time applying for a second time. Just contact the recruitment department and let them know of your situation. We're so short of crew at the moment they may not make you go through the whole scenario again. There was a media release the other day that they have 1000 cabin crew positions to fill over the next 12months.

Thanks for your posts guys
I think I will get the new year out the way and give them a call. I saw the press release the other day, 1000 new crew by mid 2004, so hard work ahead I think
all the best

reference no.
As everyone probably knows i have a new job. I've tried to update my details on the EK website to let them know but it wont let me update. It says my reference number is not recognised even though I know i'm using the right one.

EK @ Paris / Amsterdam
Ok, I know everyone is tired of the Emirates stuff, but I have a quick question though:
has anyone been to the open days in Paris? I would like to know if it is like other open days described here (LON/SIN/...) ie very very crowded?
another question pops into my mind:
Does anyone know if they are doing open days in Holland soon? I know they did some before...
and another one:
Are they still doing pre-eliminary interviews upon invitation for the moment, or are they concentrating on the Open Days.
Ok, once again, sorry to bother you all (again) with this EK questions but I didn't find any answers on these yet. So please excuse me!

Is something wrong with EK website???
Hi ,

U are right about the error message.Actually , i updated my new email address on 28Dec03 but till 2day received no confirmation that my changes have been updated.when i went again to the website,its says that the information given does not match with the records in their database...I guess its due to the New Year, or their database has a bug..hehehehe..

Emirates Open Days...
Hi Guys,
Here we go again...... Advertised recently in The Australian was the latest Open Days for Emirates... The Website for EK has not listed these so I thought I would post them for those interested... I'd rather not comment on the Open Days myself, however think it's up to people to make up their own mind if they should attend or not.... It's good to see that EK are expanding and interviewing canditates in other areas who deserve a chance at employment (ie.Cairns).... Cheers Good Luck and for those who attend keep us all posted..

quite possible
Yeah i am a bit worried about that. I think I might call them and tell them the problem because I have very significant changes in my work history. I dont think there are many better careers then the one I am in now when positioning yourself into ....getting your wings.
