Referrals
Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could please assist me with my query. I am very keen to join Emirates and after a couple of failed open day attempts I am starting to lose hope, however I know someone who is currently working for Emirates. Apparently in this industry it's helpful if you know someone who is already in it. Does anyone know someone or has anyone on this forum joined Emirates through the referral of someone else who was already working with Emirates. If so, could you please tell me how you/they went about it.
Any replies relating to my query will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
P.s., I also want to wish all the EK wannabes all the best. I hope we all get there one day!

geetha
Mornin all,(well it's morning here) geetha, they gave my daughter dhs500 when she got there plus dhs2000 advance from first salary payment then a little later I think they get another dhs2600.Obviously this is deducted from your salary. She also said they give you money to get a kettle, toaster, hoover, which you don't have to repay! They also advise you take some money with you on day you fly out, both local currency for use at airport and dhs as most places are shut Fridays in Dubai, as you prop already know! Re. weather: yes, my daughter said it is v. hot, but she likes the hot weather, and has even managed to get in some sunbathing time!! I hope s
he's enjoyed her days off as tomorrow it's back to the training

Hi, Ana.
I'm approved Emirates joiner, with start date 29th Sept.
I have past all this procedures , so I will try to be as clear as possible. Basicly you should wait now for contacting with approval on your medicals. Then in 2 weeks may be they will send you a offer letter, which you have to send them back- signed by you. And then you will get your ticket and visa. SO, dont worry. Since you pass the medicals, you are in!!!! It is a big waiting yes...but it's really deserves!
BTW, I'm Elly, from bulgaria- Sofia. So, our languages are quiet similar!
Best regards and Good luck!!!

Hi Elly!! Training will start after the medicals and other formalities are completed. And so if we land in Dubai on Friday and Saturday is a holiday than Sunday onwards the medicals would start ( i m assuming here).

Hi, dear CC of ek!!
Thank you for your post...It is really helpful! Apreciate your advices and info that you and Mother Hen give us!
So, let me ask you - as far as you are infromed- are you sure that all new joiners are placed in hotels? Still, it is better than your accomadations, right?
Then, I'm flying on 29th this month, but will start my training on 5th OCT, is it normal this? I was supposing that will start in 2-3 days my training..
However..Thank you again!
ANd best regards:

Hey Elly,
I just received my e-ticket and visa today. I also spoke to one of the HR team regarding a few questions I had - one of which was regarding accom. She told me that she believed the company accomodation was now complete (last few days...) and that I would most likely be taken straight there rather than to a hotel once I arrive. Will see you over in Dubai!! Am leaving on Friday.
Oh yeah, and thanks Goyangee for your advice! Looking forward to meeting you hopefully!

Hi there,
this site has been really helpful for preparation.
I am a M'sian that attended an Open day in Melbourne, I only registered/submitted my resume but they didn't call me for a screening/interview the next day.Do I need to wait 6 months or can I just go for the next Open Day in Melbourne, S'pore or M'sia? I would think i won't have to wait for 6 mths as I did not attend the interview. what do u all reckon?
Any info offered would be appreciated.
Thanks
Libran

question
just a quick question about open day interviews.Do I need to receive an invitation from Emirates to the open day interview?or do i just show up on the specified day?
The reason I am asking this for is because I've already registered for the open day scheduled for Bucharest on the 7th of october,but upon registering for the interview I received an automatically generated script saying that they will look at my application and that IF I am short listed i will be scheduled for an interview next time they come to my country or a country in the vecinity of mine.
Does this mean that if I don't receive an invitation I shouldn't bother?or that I should just go ahead and try to meet them and try to submit my file personally(which I will try to do no matter what).
Hope I get some answers on this one,thanx in advance,safe flights

Reference letter with company header/ stamp
Dearest Elly , Newnz and all the sweeties here..
I havent received my eticket yet..
I am a bit shocked actually when i received an email over the weekends that my reference letter need to be sent with company header/ stamped. I had given them during my final interview but along the way perhaps they had overlooked.
I am in a rush and my heart was so heavy last few days. Manage to get my letters again with company letter but email couldnt get through. Will call Emirates again.
Well the relieve thing is Emirates called today and said my ticket is ready and i will receive my final briefing once they received my revised ticket. So Newz you are absolutely right that your plane coming to pick me up.
Guess i am leaving my hometown in a little rush but i be calm for now.
See you guys in Dubai soon.
Cheers
