This is just from what I've picked up from PPRuNe and I know the airline would never officially do this; but I've heard that they don't take blonde men because of gay connotations. Is there any truth in this? Would being Scandinavian be an obstacle? How big a help is being multilingual? I speak fluent English and Swedish, conversational German and I can understand and make myself understood when it comes to French. Would the French and German 'skills' still be valuable even though i'm not fluent?

Thanks heaps

Just try it!!!

Hi Klinitco,

donīt care too much about what other people say!! There are rumours everywhere and many of them are just rumours, nobody knows what kind of criterias EK really has, I think, they are a few blond male CC members!!

Just try it, dare it, be confident, you have so many things they want, your languageskills are great!!

Go to a open day and maybe youīll get the chance to go to Dubai!!

I keep my fingers crossed for you!!

klinitco

If am not wrong, Emirates is mainly concerned about the English.
If you can speak itfluently i think there is no problem.
Then i understand that only when one is fluent in another language other than English should you mention it during your interview otherwise i think it may work against you in case you are required to be interviewed in that additional language one may say he/she knows.

hope that helps.

Hey, they just had an open day in SP last Sunday, too bad you missed it. I know they are having another open day in Salvador in the middle of October, too.

Do you use Orkut? If you do, add the community FLY RIGHT INTERNATIONAL and EMIRATES. Fly Right is the agency that takes care of Emirates Recruitment here in Brazil -- They are great! I just got through the process and am now waiting for approval on my medicals. I did the open day in Rio in July.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

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

Emirates Referencing and is it lonely out there?

Hi, Just wondering what the process of referencing is with Emirates. Do they need to cover the last 5 years? If so who do they need to contact Inland Revenue and my past employers? I'm a bit worried as I have lost count of the jobs i've had in the past 5 years and I cannot remember the dates of them! Also is it a lonely existance in Dubai or is it a sociable job? I'd be greateful for any advice on this!

Still here...

Hey Elly!!! I just got word that I passed my medical today so I guess its confirmed..although I havent received anything other than that...OCTOBER 27 I am out of here! Huge relief, since it took over 3 weeks to get a response. And today is my birthday, so it made my day about a million times better!

Glad to hear all is going well in Dubai...good luck with your training. Give us more updates when you get the chance!

Ashley
