sleepingbeauty & BRISBANEemirates
Hi everyone! This is my first time posting up a comment on this site!!
Sleepingbeauty & BRISBANEemirates --> I'm assuming that you participated in the final interview in Osaka. Me too...! And i haven't heard anything from Emirates. I'm so worried... If i didn't get in this time, that's okay cuz I will try again! I won't give up! But like u said... waiting is killing me...
It's starting to affect my school work! aagh! If you hear anything from Emirates, please let me know...
Does anyone know when the rejection e-mail is sent out for those who did not get in? I'm assuming that since it's only an e-mail, it shouldn't take time...
Oh well...
Wish everyone the best...
(I wish I knew about this site earlier!)

Hi all!
I'm a flight attendant for a Canadian carrier...I am now completing the on-line application for Emirates...just realised that I missed the assessment day in Vancouver. There are no other in N. America right now...Has everyone attended an assessment day? Is this something that is required? Guess I'm from the old-school where they give you a phone inverview and you fly out for a one on one...

Hi sleepingbeauty
Actually, I was the very first one to be interviewed out of all the finalists
No, I'm not from Canada... I'm from Japan, but I live in the U.S. right now. I went back to Osaka just for this inteview!
My final interview lasted about 30 minutes. They asked me questions which I wasn't expecting at all. I thought they would ask me questions about my personality, my experience, what I have been learning in the universiry, etc. None of those questions were asked. They asked me very specific questions like what I would do in a certain situation. The questions were so specific that I had to pause and think for a while.
I have to say that I could not give my 100% in that interview. I know I could have done better... That is why I'm so worried.
I heard that the final interview usually lasts for 1 hour. Mine ended in half hour! I was so shocked... I was like "Don't u want to get to know me more??!!"
Some of my documents were missing so I sent them to Dubai 2 days later. I checked the order status online and someone in Dubai accepted my mail on the 20th.
So I'm thinking maybe this is why the process is delayed for me??
I've been reading the past comments and doing research on the internet, and I found out that there are people who just never hear anything after the final interview! Gosh, I hope that is not the case for me!
Let's cross our fingers! If someone gets a phone call today, that means there is still potential for us Ganbarou!!

They asked me questions like "Describe a situation where you had an argument with a co-worker and you had to obey him/her even though you didn't want to?" or someting like that.
Seriously, that was the first thing they asked me and i was like 'What?!' I mean, it's not the kind of question where you can reply immediately, rite?
Yea, i went to interview on the 14th. I had all the important documents missing... i shouldn't say 'missing'. I did not have enough time to prepare them.
What kind of questions did they ask u??

Thanks guys!
They called me yesterday at 13:30 at my house first and I couldn't answer that and they called me on my cell phone telling me that I have to do the medical check a.s.a.p and if everything goes right then I will leave on June 1st.
I also know 3 other girls received a call yesterday and also for the ones who did not get a job, a rejection email.
However, what I figured is that some people receive their phone call later if their documents were missing and who has sent some stuff later.
I guess for the people who haven't received a rejection letter yet, have your hopes up, coz that means that you're being evaluated now!
I guess for the ones who already received a phone call, had all the documents ready, coz I did.
But to tell you the truth, I was surprized when the lady who gave me a call from Dubai told me that I am missing a copy of my passport. Coz I did give everything. I checked everything and my documents were perfect, I just cannot believe that a photocopy of my passport is missing and that I have to fax them again. I mean, a passport copy is a dangerous thing to lose, private information ain't it??
Anyways...I am still waiting for the email they said they are going to send it to me by today. I know they are busy and all and I do wanna give them a break but..this can never happen in Japan. It's unlikely.
However, I do wish we can all meet in Dubai sleepingbeauty and BRISBANEemirates! I have a positive feelings for both of you for some reason. I am sure you guys will make it. You guys are almost there, just wait

Hey! I also had my interview on March 15th in Osaka.
They asked me the same question as yours!
These were the questions I was asked at the final interview:
1)Please describe what you do at work.
2)(according to my work) have you ever encountered a situation where you and your customer crossed over a line?
3)Please tell us the best achievement while you've work there
4)Have you ever had a situation where you had to bend your opinion? Please give us an example and tell us how you dealt it.
5)Next is a two part question, please give us each examples where you've followed through a guideline and where you didn't.
6)When was the time when you have undergone a major pressure? Work related examples are preferable.
7) Please read this bit of article.(read it out loud) What does it say?
I guess these were the main questions I was asked, they asked me more but I don't quite remember coz I was nervous like a chicken.
My interview was only for half an hour.
Sometimes I had to fold my arms, think hard and come up with an example. I guess what you answer, (the content) doesn't really matter, but it's how you react to the question. Because what I answered was a total disaster. Well anyways, I hope a good news will fly in to ya! Best of luck man!

Hey there! 80$! It costs 130$ here in Japan!
I had my recommendation letter written in English coz...the one who wrote it for me was an Aussie (Australian) professor.
However, you don't need a recommendation letter anymore...but as for the other documents, maybe you wanna ask your English speaking friends, or can bargain the price, sorry I can't help. I had nothing translated.

Hello!
Oh my god! R u 100% sure that those who did not make it already got an rejection e-mail? Please tell me that this is TRUE.... because I haven't heard anything from EK so that means there's still hope, rite??!!
Yes, they asked me questions similar to yours. By the way, my interview was on the 14th. I was so nervous! I had to think for a while, I even said "Sorry, let me think for a while". I wanted to jump out the window after the interview
lol...!
When I chekced the order status online, my documets arrived in Dubai on the 20th. And i'm assuming that the two ladies went back to Dubai around the same time. So I don't see why I'm not getting reply soon... oh well

Aiskilus & Mr.XCNBY33S
thank you so much for answering my Qs, its so nice that when u see ur name is being mentioned =)
ok, I have one more day to prepare for my Sat open day, so I decided to take MC tmr, hahaha
Does anyone know if they really contact the referees? When do I have to have the recommendation letter ready? I have put one of my uni professor and another is my current boss, but I am thinking whether it is a wise choice to do so because my boss doesn't know I am applying another job! Should I change my referee at the last minute??
32 hours to go............omg, so nervous

Hey guys!
-->What I've heard is that your document will not be sent to Dubai if you weren't successful..that's what I've heard, but I cannot guarantee you if this is 100% sure. But if you haven't heard anything yet, I think you have a good chance So just hang in there girl!
-->Chomelodie
I have the same situation as yours, I gave my referees from my current boss and from my uni professor. My boss was really excited when she heard me challenging this new opporunity and was very supportive. She even wrote me a reference letter (maybe she wanted to get rid of me j/k *lol*) but maybe you should think about how your boss would react before you tell him/her. Who knows? Maybe your boss would be very willing to support your dream
-->mat2k
Yea, same here, see ya in couple of months!
By the way, for those who've already done your medicals, please tell me how much it costed you, coz...it's freakin' expensive here! Thanks in advance!

Recommendation Letter
Hi Everyone,
Here in Manila, they don't require a recommendation letter. But the day I told all my supervisors about my future plans, they were like "Go for it!" I even had a supervisor last year whose brother and her bother's wife currently employed in EK. She even tried but declined EK coz she didn't want her freckles removed. Then I told my current supervisor of my plan and he said whatever I do and dream he and my team have all the support for me.
Lilly075,
I agree with what others have told you, don't lose hope. your application is still in process. And for everyone out there, no matter what the question is, it's now what you say, it's how you say it.
Best Wishes to everyone,
Jessie Aiskilus
