hi people!
Moka19, if you need anything, feel free to ask!
Sleepingbeauty, unfortunately I had some problems with my chest and heart x-ray. I think I made in a bad place here, and the report was too simple. They had asked me to send more details on that, even though it was saying that it was everything ok. So my advice for you people is do the exams is a very good place, and if possible, write an observation to the radiologist that you need a very detailed report. I also had to call them many times, since they weren't answering my e-mails about if the medicals were ok or not, and time was running!! ( And I was getting crazy!!!
)
By now, my ticket is for the 5th of april, but I still haven't signed the contract (...) I will probably send them my new report tomorrow, since they asked it to be English........ And then, I will have to wait again for the reply. But if in 2 days they don't reply me, I will call them again.
People, really, be patient..... they take ages for everyting. And if you can, send your medicals by e-mail. Scan it and send it. I had sent by fax, and they have lost part of my papers, and it took them sometime to find it. She even asked me if I could resent everything by e-mail ( with scanner) again... I said yes, but only in some days, and them she replied saying that if she didnīt answer me in one day for me to call again ( probably because they would'n have found the medicals, but they did)
And by the way, I have received the e-mail some hours before the call concerning the result. So, there is no rule for that, don't worry about it. You might receive one or the other before. Just for you to know, I left all the documents perfectly in their hands, before they lived Brazil. This was February 6th. I received the call on the 21th of February. But my process was very complete, all oficially translated, with the letters of recommendation, passport copy, pictures etc.... I'm sure this made it all faster for them, and I had also written that I only nedded two weeks to get ready
, so I imagine that from Brazil I was one of the first to be called. My friend had some missing documents. He had to send them to Dubai. They took almost a month to call him...
Hope we can all make it! And feel free to write me if you need any help.

ps:. Smiad, how are you doing? Don't freak out! hahahahaha

Of course we all can make it! If you have read my posts, you saw that I was ansious, desperate, insecure and when I was in this forum talking to people who are where I am at the moment, I always thought It was sooooo far away from me... It isn't easy to wait for their replies, for me this is a torture. It is hard when you donīt know what is going to happen to you... you can't make consistent plans, you don't feel like packing because you aren't really there yet, you never know what to say to your friends: "Maybe I'm going to be stewardess in DUbai" hahahaha! It is difficult, but I hope it is worth. Actually, people here made me believe it is worth!
Good Luck to you!!! And if you need help, count on me!

Muito Obrigada Ju Ev for clarifying my question!
So the result comes in email and a phone call..
As you have mentioned, I had all my documents perfectly ready as well, passport copy, educational certificate, photograph, proof of employment, etc..I guess that's why they told me it'll take only about 2 weeks and 4 weeks max to get my result!
But the problems are medicals, I am not sure if I can have my medicals done in English, and what did you do about your crminal record? Did they ask you to get one?

Within 20 minutes of them saying that i got that e-mail saying everything was there and approved!! HURRAHHHHH!!! So like you, i'm just sitting and waiting!!!

Fellow Ppruner's
I understand the anxiety associated with attending the Ek Interviews and furthermore the strain placed upon the seconds on your watch waiting eager for that call from them after your final interview. I have now been employed in the capacity of cabin crew with Emirates for 3 years and remmember my interview like it were 2 hours ago. There are approx 8000 crew with us online till date (I think thats the correct figure or close to it) and I will have to say a small number of them SHOULDNT have been given the position. There communication skills, team work and personality match those of people who are perhaps ******. On the flip side we have some brilliant crew who represent the ek product very well.
Its not rocket science to prepare a draw with red/white wine bottles, pepsi's and seven up's and ofcourse diet coke. However what I have realised is that people arent talking to passengers, having a laugh with them. The company has realised that its core element of sucess amongst other airlines is the ability its cabin crew have to talk and converse with its customers as opposed to ensuring the Emirates logo coaster is served with the J/D with coke. When you attend your interviews and you can clearly demonstrate from the beggining you have confidence to talk with your colleagues and others and enjoy that. then I think its what they are looking for.... I talk so much BULLS**T to pax's but they love it and carry on with me.
You all know the other bla bla bla requirements (Shoes polished, Hair tied up, clean shaven bla bla), however your personality will always Win you a position with EK. When they are interviewing you, dont attempt to choose these sophisticated words to gain browny points, but talk to them as if they are your passengers. Have fun with them. We at emirates want fun people and HARD workers, not preety sandra or studly Dennis who have the personality of a dead rodent.
I wish you all the best of luck when you attend your Pre interviews with EK and if your not sucessfull DONT DONT DONT get depressed or sick. There are other airlines in the middle east who are always recruiting also. I.E Etihad, Qatar (Hmmm dont know about that one)...
If you guys need more info feel free to message me....
Happy flying for those who Make it.....

Hey! I know im just at the start of the process, but im wondering after you do the online application, how long you all waited to hear something to be invited for an interview? Does it depend on where u live and when they are going to be in your country next i imagine?
Also, what kind of questions do u get asked??
thanks xxxx

Some Tips
Charlene85,
Welcome to this thread, here in Manila we have agency affiliated with Emirates. They hire monthly. I sent them an email and told that I already have the application number and they told me that even if I applied online it would be advisable for me to visit the agency for initial screening. I think it's a good strategy to avoid crowd congestion during open day. This forum is very helpful. I would suggest you to have the patience to read the thread from the start. I have asked some tips about what EK is looking for and look at how this forum has gone far
. Believe you me, there are plenty of nice people in this forum who are willing to share their unique experience. As for me, my life has been cenetered around preparing for my second attempt since I failed my first application to EK. I have learned that in any job, 'attitude' is more important than anything else. Most airline company would also look for three elements to determine if the person is suitable or not. They are Eligibility, Suitablility and Specific Requirements. As regards to the interview, I agree with Username1, I think the recruiters will look for people who enjoy and confident in having conversation with the passengers. Most people say 'just be yourself' and I strongly agree with that as well... Just be positive and friendly... and always give them a sincere SMILE. Your answers should have a format as well especially if asked a hypothetical question. Follow the STAR format... know the SITUATION-what is the TASK-ACTION taken/done and the RESULT. Present yourself in very graceful way, consider a good posture, positive body language and practise the essence of team work with your colleagues. I wish I could do all this in my second attempt, too. Good luck to all of you out there. I hope I'll see you guys in the skies, someday.
Another tip: The highlighted words are key skills and strenghts... value them. Goodluck

questions to Emirates people
Thanks a lot for your post username1! it is always nice to hear from someone who is already there! And most of the people who usualy write here are wannabes.
I also would like to ask some of the people who are already there, when do they give us the uniform? In the training weeks, do we have to wear formal closes of our own?? I'm just asking because I only have one suit, and if I have to wear formal closes for 5 weeks, I need to buy something else here....
Another question for the Dubai residents. Is it expensive to buy things in Dubai? Clothes, shoes, or you can find some affordable places?
I also want to buy me a laptop... should I buy in Dubai or wait for the duty trips so then I could buy somewhere cheaper? In this case, what places do you recommend?
Thanks a lot for you help people, you are great

Raven test
Hi everybody!!
I have a psicologist friend and she told me that if you ask you to do a Raven test, that is a very good sign.
If you had not like them, for what would they ask for more tests?. My friend explained me that they will probably check everything.
Raven test normally are used to measure the logic, they are logical reasonings.
Dont worry, if they have asked just a few.
Regards and good luck!

Ju Ev -
I wouldn't buy another suit for the training. You get fitted for your uniform on the first day of induction (sunday) and you don't have to wear it until you start grooming. The day of grooming varies as some weeks there are a lot of abinitios starting, so you may get grooming 2-5 days after starting induction. You are also out of uniform for your day of ditching, by which stage you can easily get it drycleaned in time. I got by with a blazer, pants and skirt, and haven't worn them since I did the ditching session over a year ago.
Regarding the laptop I'd wait until you're flying as you don't really need one during college and you can go to an internet cafe for emails.

uniforms
Been a great fan of this forum, the posts from you guys are very useful and real! Thanks
Another question pertaining to uniforms, are luggage, leggings and watch also provided? Or does the company provide specifics for its crew to follow? How many sets of uniforms are we provided with and does this include a winter coat?
Once again your answers would be greatly appreciated!

i'm also new here but i'm pretty familiar with the application process. Have you registered already for the global assessment day for milan? if you have, then just wait for their response. if you passed their screening (by the application that you've sent through their website) you will get an invite for the assessment day.
the difference between the global assessment day and the open day is that:
for the global assessment day, you have to register for it and you should have an invite for you to attend.
for the open day, basically, it is just free for all assessment. you can just walk-in and pass your application/cv with your photos (whole body and passport size photo) then they will screen you (maybe they will ask you some questions - this is just very basic and quick). then if you pass, they will contact you to attend the assessment the next day, which is what will happen on the global assessment day. on this day, you will be screened through the reach test, group activities, and some exams. If you pass all the stages, you will be invited for the final interview.
hope this information helps!
good luck!
