Hey Fieval! How long ago did you submit your medicals?? I submitted mine at the beginning of September and it took about 25 days to get a response from them. I sent them an email 3 days after I submitted it and then got an email saying my medicals had been completed and approved, but thats all it said. I got that on Monday and havent received anything since. Thats me. And from everyone else I have spoken to, they have been told by email, minus Cabincat who got a phone call.
Apparently they go through the medical exams by your departure date...mine is October 27th. When is yours? If its the 27th or before the 27th, you should hear from them really soon.
I guess the next step, from what I have read on this website is that you get sent another email saying that you have gotten final approval and then you can give in your notice to your employer, then they send the contract and then they send your plane tickets etc. Obviously it doesnt always work like that though becuase as I posted before, I have a friend who only got the email saying his medicals were completed and approved and nothing else and his plane ticket had already been sent by FedEx. He got no final approval and no contract.
Good luck with everything...their process is kind of confusing, but it looks like everyone makes it there eventually. lol. Let us know how things go.

Hi guys,
Just got an email from Emirates regarding date of joining, informing me that the date has now changed, however I have not received anything to say that my medicals have been cleared. This process is really weird. Can anyone shed some light on how they contact you to confirm weather your medicals have passed or not, is it via email? is it via phone?
And also when they contact you to confirm weather your medicals have passed, do they then offer you employment and request that you hand in notice to your job?
Any answers would be good, just need to know what to expect.....emirates seems to move in mysterious ways.
Cheers

help someone?
Hello Everybody!!
I am attending a global day a few days in Paraguay (Im from Argentina). My question is about the medical exam (I know it's a long way to get there anyway!!! A lot of interviews to pass).
About scars and tattos, does the doctor have to say u dont have any?? or is it only that u cant work for EK if they are visible while in uniform??
I have a scar on my right upper arm cause when I was a child i cut myself up!
it'd be noticeable if i wore really short sleeves... And I've heard that might be a restrain to work for EK. Is this so? Do they also check you when you get to DUBAI???
If someone please could answer me this I'd be really thankfull!
Dana

hello,
while am also a wonnabe so my info will be more of advice n not maybe not so accurate but what i would want to urge you for now is to concentrate on the interview preparation.
If you mind will be on the scar,it will distrate you. Go there with a positive mind coz for the last two global assessment days i have gone to, i had doubts about getting the job n my doubts came true so please go with a positive mind!!!
about the medicals, i dont know if they check for scars so maybe some who has gone would shed more light but since its on your upper arm, maybe you're okey.
i wish you all the best and do keep us posted.

Layover Patterns
Two blocks of 48 hours in Brisbane sounds good, just a bit curious:
- What layovers are involved for the SYD/MEL flights (non-stop and via BKK/SIN respectively)? Do any flights involve layovers in NZ (or was I wrong in interpreting shuttle as a there-and-back in a day service?).
- Are European services just 24 hours? Do shorter flights like ATH, LCA involve layovers too? How long are JFK layovers usually?
Just really curious as many other airlines AU layovers are more along the lines of 30 hours, so this sounds good.

Hola FAinbaires...I just went through the medicals and got my approval and am leaving October 27th so hopefully I can help you out a little.
The only time I was asked if I had any marks on my body was in the final interview...and I told them I had a tattoo on my lower back, which didnt seem to make any difference at all. During the medicals, no, no doctor had to state if we had marks of any kind, it wasnt on the forms, so you dont have to worry about that.
As for when you get to Dubai, I have absolutely no idea, maybe Elly can help us out with that???
I dont even know if Emirates has a uniform part that shows the top part of your arms...I doubt it and if they dont, it shouldnt be a problem.
Either way, go to the assessment day with a positive attitude. I am here in Brazil, so we are neighbours...good luck!!! Hope to see you in Dubai!

Flight ticket on its way!!
Yay! I emailed Emirates about changing my address yesterday and I got a response today telling me not to worry and that the ticket has already been applied for and should arrive via FedEX within maximum ten days!!! Thats sooooooo exciting! I havent even gotten an email about final approval or the contract...but I dont care. The ticket is whats going to make me finally believe that this is not all just a dream!

Hi guys. It's been a while since I've logged on - been busy beyond belief! Motherhen is being very truthful when she says you have to study hard! I previously worked for another airline longhaul and the training is far more thorough and full-on! You are put in some tough situations and really need to think on your feet and be as assertive as possible during the practical safety procedures exercises. I'm just looking forward to getting training finished! You meet great people though and really help each other through things! Gotta go, will try to post something again soon!

Hi Amowners,
Thank you for your help, it has helped me understand things just a little bit more, my departure date has been changed from the 10th of November to the 24th of November. However I have to hand in 2 months notice to my current employer so if I am accepted it would really good to receive a response from them asap! So that I can hand in my 2 months notice and make the flight date, however I think either way I am hoping they will accommodate my notice period and move my departure date back if necessary. Fingers crossed huh!

Hey Fieval, I imagine your medicals will be delayed a bit due to your date being so far off...but after 3 weeks or so, send them an email and maybe mention that you do need to give 2 months notice. ..as soon as I did that, I got an email 3 days later saying my medicals were approved. I am sure they have to move your departure date back, they understand you need to give two months notice...so I wouldnt worry about that too much.

Hey steel06, dont know of anyone attending the Singapore interviews, but make sure you have a good read of this thread and another EK thread under "anything to do with emirates"on this site. You will find some excellent advice which should help you out and help calm the nerves! Preperation is invaluable for these types of interviews!
Goodluck!
Cheers

Nervous...
Oh dear, I posted something just now, but it didnt appear. Sorry if this post comes out twice guys.
Im very new here and I was just saying how great this place is where almost everyone is so helpful and friendly. Im especially pleased to know that there are so many successful aspiring candidates. To those who didnt make it: cheer up, things happen for a reason, and if u have the heart, try again, u never know whats in store in the future.
There'll be an open house in KL in 2 weeks time. And i have a 'situation'. I understand that u got to be in smart business-like attire on that open-day: women prefereably to be wearing knee length skirts. Im a muslim girl who dons a headgear and do not expose skin. will this be an issue? Ive seen those videos on youtube showing ladies undergoing emirates training. and i saw a muslim lady participant who donned a headgear so i presume this will not be a problem at all. but nevertheless, those in the know, i would really appreciate it if u could give me somewhat the real picture of what might happen. any advice? im soo nervous coz i really wanna do this and i dont wanna get booted out on the very first instance when they see me.
Anyway, to everyone out there, happy net-surfing.
