Dear EYtruth

thank you so much for your answer..now, I feel even more tempted to apply for a job as cc with EY!
For those of you living in Abu Dhabi: did you find it difficult adapting to the lifestyle in Abu Dhabi? Is it easy to make friends, or do you feel quite lonely sometimes? Is the cost of living quite high, or is it pretty affordable? Sorry to be asking all these questions, but for a european it's a "huge" change to relocate to the UAE..

Melbourne,

Yes, I do work for EY. As for the questions, u better ask some of the people who wrote here and were recently on assesment, as my process was totaly different and long time ago.

Flyingazorian,

Middle East is totally different from Europe or Oz, but no major problems in adapting to the lifestyle here. AUH is cheaper than DXB in terms of taxi, but other costs r pretty much the same. Your salary is tax free, and most important accomodation is provided (rents r quite high for a decent flat), so, if u r well organized u can save money

Hi EYtruth
Thanks for all your posts on this thread.
I did five years in DXB many moons ago and loved the UAE, so much so I'm hoping to return this year with EY.
Can you advise if an allowance is provided if you want to live in your own accommodation?
Thanks in advance,
W.

Dear EYtruth

thnx a million for answering all my questions; the info you've given, not just to myself, but to everybody else in this Forum, is most valuable & highly appreciated...can I be really cheeky & ask u one more question? Does EY pay for your medical insurance? If you are rushed into hospital (I've just knocked on wood 3 times!!) do you pay "out of pocket" or are you covered?

Spoke to a few of the EK staff here in Sydney. They informed me that EY was identically copying EK's business plan when it was 3 years old, following the same format/formulas, paperwork etc etc.

Would make sense, look how fast EY is growing. They even seen my medical form from EY and said they also copied EK medical. LOL

Come to think of it EY who is only 3 years old and flies to 40 International destinations by the end of year. Compared to Qantas and its subsidary Airline Jetstar who are 85 years old and only flying to combined of 23 Intl Destinations with their own metal.

etihad recruitment day

Hey Melbourne,

I attended the interview process recently in Melbourne and made it through the entire day.

The questions they ask common sense questions and everybody seemed to get asked different questions. In general they have a hypothetic question on how you would deal with a situation if you were cabin crew. Also a question on how you have dealt with a difficult / challenging situation in your current role.

That's about it really. If you answer honestly then you will always be fine. The questions are not hard nor are they a trick, they just want to see how you would / have reacted to different situations.

Hope this helps you.

Take care
Tanya

interviews in Vancouver

Hiya all!

Just saw on the Etihad careers website that they will be conducting interviews in Vancouver on April 15th and 16th. The interviews are by invitation only- You have to apply on-line and if you meet their criteria they will I guess send you an email? or call? inviting you to the interviews. I have already applies on-line myself and was wondering if anyone else has, and if so- have they got invited to the interviews yet? Very curious!! Ciao!

Hi guys, ive just been reading through the posts, very interesting stuff.
On the 16th of April i have been invited to an assessment day for the position of Cabin Manager.
I was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the kind of day i can expect?
Has anyone recently had an assessment day for Cabin Manager?
Any information about the day would be of great help.
O is anyone joining me on the 16th?
Best of luck to everyone with a forthcoming interview and congratulations to all who have had success with their interview.

Cranium,

One of the blokes who were at our Sydney Assessment on the 23rd who specifically wanted Cabin Manager as he was already one for one of the Airlines in Sydney..Did not make the first cut for the obvious reason.

BUT.....He has been invited and flown by Etihad to AUH this Saturday for an Assessment day for Cabin Managers. Are you being flown to AUH as well?

Hi Nickvan,

Yeah i am being flown out on Sunday the 15th for interview on the 16th.
Just not sure what to expect as have not seen any posts by Cabin Managers on here.
Well ive done all the usual backround work on EY so am pretty much prepared.
But would still be nice to know what to expect from the day.

Fingers Crossed
