Fly Emirates Selection
Hi guys!
I am thinking the possibility of applying fot FLy EMIRATES. I have some questions.
I dont have any experience as cabin crew. I am Spanish and speak English, Dutch and German. Although I am 30 years old.
Am I too old maybe for them?.
Are they looking people without experience or only if you are 20-25 years?.
More things?.
All the intervieuws are in english, no matter the country where the intervieuw was?
psicotenic test are difficult?

Yes, the interviews are all English. You don´t need previous experience. The psicotecnic test isn't difficult, but it is also in English. It is made of 160 questions about you if I'm not wrong. About the age I'm not sure, maybe someone who is already working there can answer you.
Hope it helps

thank you Ju Ev...
btw I really enjoyed reading your posts about your progression through the selection process...
just like the others... it's fun to read what was posted one month ago before the actual open day, then just after the open day itself and then again, once people know they are accepted or unfortunately rejected! it's fun to see the progression...it gives hope and shows that indeed, some people can make it

Lost in (documents and) translations...
Again it's a non-native-english-speaker's question : How did you do if you never worked for a non native english speaker employer before? Do we must have an official translation?

Hi mat2k! Please specify your document type.
Are you regarding to:
1) your reference letters
2) proof of employment
3) application
4) Educational certification
?
1)Your reference letter, you do not have to prepare it.
2)Your proof of employment, I gave them in Japanese. They just simply
wanted me to jot it down saying "proof of employment" and that was it.
3)Application, you must have it in English.
4)As in educational certification, you do have to have it officially translated in English.
I hope this helps.

Hi moka19!
Well I browsed through some cabin crew websites and it seems like people who actually attended the opening days and for the people who were successful, it "seems" like they tend to hire people who are aged 20-27.
But this doesn't mean that there no possiblities or there's no chance for the people who are around 28-35.
There are alot of people who are around 30 and challenging their careers as a cabin crew.
If you really want the job, I guess the age doesn't matter.
Never give your dream up! You can do it!

Assesment Global day
is it quite difficult EK call you to attend to an Assesment day?.
Normally they send you to the Global day?, and obsviously , there are quite more people.
Depends a lot your cv? your degree?, you experience in Customer Service?
Someone has been selected to attend to an Assesment Day?
I dont want to go far away from my country to an Open day, because maybe I can be rejected in the first 5 minutes.
Thank you!

Hey all,
EK do not have an age limit as far as I am aware. When I joined 5 years ago, one of the guys that joined with me was 35. On their group careers website they only stipulate a minimum age requirement of 21. They do not mention an age limit.

Oh yes, sorry for being so imprecise;I was talking about recomendation letter, something that we usually don't really do here in France...
what do you mean by "application"? I mean, which application?

Going Crazy...
Hi Brisbanemirates,
I guess you have a valid concern here... when I was interviewed in an agency affiliated to EK, they told me the same thing. Here's exactly what happened 7 months ago...
I went to the venue in Manila. Got my height and weight measured, filled up my application form then my first interview. After the interview, the interviewer said, that I will have to wait for 6-8 weeks because at the time I applied walk in, there were no assessment going on yet... so, they told me that they'll forward my papers to Dubai and if i didn't receive any calls from them then I'll have to consider my application unsuccessful.
I have a question, not only to you Brisbanemirates but to all who might have experienced the same thing. After my initial interview, they didn't ask me to comeback on a particular day for group interview etc that I should be going through as well but instead they just told me that they'll forward my application directly to Dubai and wait for 6-8 weeks. Do you have any idea why i didn't go through group interview first?
Thanks and goodluck

Hey there mat2k!
As in recommendation letter, you don't need one from this time. Only the contact numbers of the two references are needed.
As in application, this is i.e, your CV, which you download from their webpage.
I hope this helps and sorry about the confusion.
Good luck man!

hello everyone! yes, waiting is definitely hard, i guess. brisbaneemirates, waaahh im going crazy too! btw, when did you have your final interview?
aiskilus, re emirates application, maybe you're already qualified to be a part of the emirates cabin crew thats why you didnt have to join the assessment days or maybe the recruitment team really liked you!

Brisbaneemirates!!
hey brisbaneemirates,
my goodness girl...you sound like i did!! I had my interview end of jan boy was i nervous.Afterwards I spent the next weeks replaying the situation in my head, what i did, what i didn't, could've blah blah blah.
but i got a call, and i start soon.
My point is.....Just be positive, its too easy to stress about things, and you know what?you'd be the only one to doubt yourself because you are your toughest critic.
be cool hunny bunny!

BRISBANEemirates, sleepingbeauty
BRISBANEemirates->I also heard that once you're accepted you receive a phone call FIRST, then a contract via email. Maybe that's what they meant..I am not sure.
I don't know anybody who's done really bad on the final interview but has been accepted.
I think Emirates prefer you to act natural in front of them. I also hope the same thing as you BRISBANEemirates, I hope that they evaluate our over all GD, educational background, and work experience.
Sleepingbeauty-> I am 24, and sorry I didn't answer your previous question, as you may have guessed by now, I am a female .
Don't worry if this was your first real job interview, maybe the raven tests were for the ones who didn't have any real job experience. That makes sense, doesn't it?
They don't require you a reference letter anymore. You only need proof of employment, which is a proof that you've been working for such and such company for how long stating your name, your birthday and your address including seals from your previous or your current job.
As for the valid number they can take, I have no idea, but as I noted before, maybe less than they have expected, is my guess.
As for my batch, there were only 4 of them. I took mine on the 15th. I am Japanese but I am a half class. How about you? I assume that you're really young eh? But there's no need to worry! You have a chance equally as I have right now. We all do.
I assume people who's writing here and reading these comments are going through some major break downs about the result but...I just personally think that no matter how much we worry about the result, results won't change.
It's pretty hard for me not to think back again about the final interview as well, but honestly at the same time I am enjoying this process and I am very happy to see other people in the whole WORLD are going through the same thing and that we share some same feelings. It's just amazing to feel that we are connected right here. Isn't this great?!
Enough of my prayers, I have a question back.
Are you certainly sure that once you receive an email from them in 2 weeks, is a rejection? Is it a certain NO?
