Hi webwebbingloop -

I scanned all of my documents/test results/vaccination certificates to AUH. They received them straight away.

MAIL?! Not a very smart idea. The email from Etihad specifically advised to forward them to that email address given. One of the guys was going to send them..but wont reach AUH till next week or even long.... and if they go missing!?

As for the X-Rays they are not required to be scanned. Well thats what I was told. How can you scan a Chest X-Ray? you'll just get 1 lung in... Im just going to attach all of them and take em with me.

FA1 - They are coming back to MEL/SYD/BNE from May 11th & 12th Starting in Sydney. BNE and MEL 14th/15th May.

violinplayer21c - Pulmonary Function Test?..WTF? Never heard of that one before?
Were going to the Middle East buddy...Not Middle Earth

ozziecrew - I spoke to them again tonight and now my 19th May Departure is now a question mark. Management chaging things around and need people earlier... They are needing people to commence 06th or 13th. So im just going to wait for them to advise of the next dates...

Medicals

Hi All,

Well i've started the medical gauntlet and had my first needle today, I get to have the rest on Monday.

It's time for dental x-rays, chest x-rays and blood tests Thursday so that's going to be a fun and interesting day !!!!

violinplayer21c I've never heard of the Pulmonary Function Test?? and my doctor didn't mention anything about that sort of thing today when I had my consultation. Why do you have to wait two weeks between vaccinations, I'm getting all of mine in one day.

Nickvan - well dear, it seems you may be going earlier than you thought, it's all good, it means you'll be in the air and flying as cabin crew quicker.

Nick did you have to have some Man2 test where they inject something under your skin and then you go back in two days to see if you have had a reaction????? Just curious, it seems like a weird test to have done?

Anyway, it really does seem like they want the Aussie's over in AUH and onto their flights as quick as possible, awesome !!!!

To all of you completing their medicals, best of luck and to all who are attending open days or interview processes stay positive and be yourself you'll shine through !!!

Talk to you all soon

Tanya

Hey Tanya

No we didnt get the man2 test. Doctors in Australia dont do it anymore..or something along those lines....So we didnt do it..too much hassle.
Medical paperwork States "Strongly Advised" no compulsory.

Also if you do this test..you need to get the Yellow Fever and this test done the same day OR you will have to wait 4 weeks apart before you can do the Yellow Fever or vice versa....Yellow fever is a live vaccine and needs to be taken together with the Man2. Or wait 4 weeks!

So my doctor just wrote a medical certificate advising BCG/Tuberculosis test not recorded...bla bla bla

Hey again!
Same here, I was asking about the medical, and they turned right away... and said we can do all I did'nt do yet in the UAE... but WHEN CAN YOU START!?! March 29th, May 6th, May 13th? I answered, I'll be fine with the 6th but 13th is okay too.... so let's see what the answer is... WOWOWOWOWOW!
Gosh, I got so many things to do... cancel my mobile contract, internet, television, change my bank account to a devise account etc. etc. etc.

nickvan, when would you like to go? Would be so cool if we could start the same date.
Hugs to ya all...

Hey Guys, we were given a medical form to fill in at the end of the day - should I go ahead and get it done anyway? probably not though - until I get a phone call or something..
By the way, was it very expensive to get everything done? I'm thinking that if I get this and go about getting the form filled in its going to be really bloody expensive!

Hum, well depends... no idea how the medical system is in Ireland...
However, here in Austria, the federal social insurance (everybody must have that, it's the law) pays for most of the examinations, if theres a reason for them.
In this case, there werent, so I had to pay for most of them... 80 EUR at the dentist, 60 EUR at the eye-doc, 100EUR at the institute of tropical medicine for the vaccinations, 45EUR for the bloodtests... hum thats it so far, I think. So like 245EUR so far... we'll see what else they'll need

hey hey violinplayer21c

My original departure date was 19th May for training 20th May. But now I dont know whats going on. When they called lastnite, they asked if I wanted to come earlier like 6th or 12th May. But was too early as Ive got my farewell bash on the 12th May & I need to sort out crap from work etc etc.

Fingers crossed for the 19th May. Looks like you'll be there before me

Hey ruthietwos, I was thinking the same when I got the medicals. But its a tough one..but same token it does take time to do.. unless you want to do the freebie ones first..if you do get medical fees waived in Ireland?

Hey Nickvan, I dont think i'd get any freebies! even a trip to my GP costs me 55 euro

I'll give etihad a ring first to see if I should go ahead with them.. plus - i was looking at it yesterday, at the dental section... and I know i'm going to have to have some dental work done!

cardboard boxes for shoes for me for the next month...

If someone was not successful with a job at Etihad as cabin crew how long does the applicant have to wait in order to re apply again?

feeling lost

Just found out that EY will have an open day in Singapore in May13 but their website said "by invitation via online application". I uploaded my application in Mar 31 but never heard from them at all, would it make a difference if i update and upload my CV again?? How long before the OD would they send out invitation? anyone knows?

And then I found out the agent Inter-Excel Advisory is organizing a walk in in Singapore on Apr 29 as well. This is what it says in their website:

Please courier or post detailed CV (kindly include your height & weight), one full length and 4 passport size photographs in office attire (Only those with photographs can be shortlisted for the final interview by Etihad Airline officials in Kuala Lumpur & Singapore )

Do i really need to post my CV to the agent and wait for their invitation before I can attend the walk in?? If I need to post my CV, it shouldn't be called a walk in right?? I have nightmare about screening by agent than by the airline directly. What if i didn't search elsewhere I wouldn't know the agent is organizing a walk in because it isn't mentioned at all in the EY website. Anyone can kindly give me some advices plssssssssssss

You will have to go for the pre screening by Interexcel - shortlisted candidates will then be invited for the final screening day by Etihad on 13th.

The interview on 13th is not an open day - it is a final round for shortlisted candidates. I went for the last round in March through Interexcel - 120 candidates for the final day only 8-10 made in the end. Good luck.

Applying to Etihad

Hi Guys

I've applied for Etihad as they are having a open day in Glasgow, I'm looking for some advice

what shall I expect at the open day? Whats the next step after that?

How long if I am successful will I be able to go out?

I'm a bit confused about the medical reading some posts does it mean I will get the medical done in abu dhabi?

I really want this job its my dream but I'm worrying as I have no experience I am a retail manager at the moment?

Any tips or advice for the interview much appreciated!

Thanks

How long does it approx take

Dear ALL!

I was wondering if anybody out there could help with some information in relation to...how long after your final interview should it take to hear a yes or a no! If they are leaning towards a yes...if the next step after your final a security check??? and how long after this??? And if you get the green light to proceed with your medical, is that pretty much a offer of employment if that checks out all ok???

Thank you in advance for your responses and information!

When I got my EY offer, I got it 2 weeks after the final interview.
And yes, when you get that mail or phone call it says that your application has been approved by management and they need you to fill in the medical. Yep, you got the job depending that you pass the medical, and you will do unless you have hiv or something

Good luck!

How are you!? My exact thoughts few weeks back when I was waiting for the answer from them. Its going to be the longest 2-3 weeks of your life.

Your application needs Final Management & Security Approval.Once this is done they call you to check your email like they done with me. The email will advise you to proceed through with medical BUT do not resign from your current employment.

Once medical done, you usually wait for the contract to be dispatched out..my medical was all ok with EY Medical team, now which im waiting for is the Contract which will be emailed through this week as per HR
