Hey girl! Congratulations!! 
I knew you would make it girl! I am SOOO happy for you!!
Yep, I've finished my medicals, and it costs really expensive here!
If you are in Osaka, you can get your medicals done in 50,000~80,000 yen, as you have mentioned. But you are in Tokyo, I assume...
I heard that if you have your medical check ups in Osaka, they actually exam you in Japanese and then it takes up a week to get it all translated. (more money..) But in that way, it takes so much time(including earning replys of test results of blood, pap smear, etc..) that I got my medical check up examined by a doctor from the Netherlands.
By the way, I already sent my results to the HR office (excluding my x-rays and other original copies of test results) and I haven't heard a thing from them yet however they wanted me to SCAN everything and then send it to the office. They did NOT want me to fax anything.
Well, sorry for the late reply sleeping beauty and I hope everything goes well with ya! If you have any question re to medicals, please do not hesitate to ask me. I became quite an expert since the doc from the Netherland precisely explained everything to me.

Hey there guys!
I gotta question, I finished all my meds and online joining thing but I haven't finished my induction quiz thing. Have you? Do you ought to do it when we get there?
Plus, on the "New Check list-handbook.doc", first page 6th list, it says to email ID card and Name badge form. What is this about? If you have figured it out, will you give me a clue what I must prepare for this? I emailed to the HR office but they haven't emailed me back yet. Thanks in advance
Good luck to ya guys!

quiz on line
Hi Guys
Just more info regarding the process:
Once you received your final email to say you can now resigned from your current employee and all your medical has been approved. You have to wait for another email which will be received 4 days before you depart.
Im also at that stage where i have to complete the quiz on line, so i rang them to confirm and they have advise me that employee no. and ticket/visa will be emailed to you 4 days before you depart. Then you can complete the online quiz then.
As far as medical and waiting for final approval, i waited nearly 3 weeks for mine. My advise is best to ring them to confirm they have all your medical reports, just for the peace of mind.
Hope that helps
C you guys there;-)
Cheers

Application format
I am very seriously thinking about attending one of the Emirates open days next month and would like to know whether it is better for my previous employment information to be in the form of a CV or if it would be acceptable in resume format. If a CV is the only way to submit this information, does anyone have any web links to where I can find good information on putting together a CV? Unfortunately, we are really only taught about resumes here in the States, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

medical process--
Mr.XCNBY33S- hello! thanks! thanks! im almost done with my medical and it sucks because at first, i asked them if they can translate it in English and they said yes. but after the results were out, they said that they cant!!!
do we have to also send the results or just send the papers they provided us? like the appendix 2,3,4 etc?
i havent submitted mine cos im still in the process of completing my medical exams. by the way, when i sent them my acceptance contract which is the declaration, they didnt reply to my message, is that okay? or should i also call them to confirm that they have received it?
i hope we all get to finish the requirements as soon as possible! more tips please! thanks!

Awaiting for final briefing email =(
Emirates asks me to tender my resignation asap since i'm flying on the 13th of April. They told me that I will receive the final briefing email 4 days before my travelling date.
But I still haven't received the email yet and its 3 days before my scheduled flight... I can't pack my stuff yet since I don't know if it will still push through =( I'm so much worried....

Hey,
Why don't you just rung them and ask the status ? If you havn't recieved the last mail which is usually a ticket and all, then most probably they will be giving you another date for departure. But the best soultion is to rung them and ask .

Teaching job: useless experience?
Hello everyone,
I'm currently teaching in an elementary school as teacher assistant, all my answers to the recruiting team will be based on this experience...well at least the answers I was preparing so far...until I start to think that teaching experiences and kids related situation are not so relevant with cabin crew job... do you think it would be good to talk about this (I mean my teaching experience)?
brrrrr....!!! at the end I don't know whether I should keep these job experiences as examples for their questions or find new ones...
thank you by advance guys

Teaching Experience
Hi there!
Being a cabin crew doesn't require anyone a specific course or degree in college nor so related experience from your previous work. As long as you have the compassion of helping others... you have what it takes to be the chosen one! My best friend who works for EK now is an Electronics and Communications Engineering student (both of us have'nt graduated yet ). In fact, being a teacher gives you more chances of gettine hired than anyone else coz you are working with different people with different personalities face-to-face. Just remember there is a formula when answering questions. STAR- S-situation T-task A-Action taken R-what is the result? Just be positive. A lot of people would tell you just be yourself... that phrase means be yourself in a positive way! Hope this helps...

Teaching experience
Dear mat2k,
I also have teaching experience and I really think that it is a great asset for a f.a. job. Teaching requires patience, the ability to explain and reason and most importantly, a passion for people. A f.a. can make good use of all these.
Good Luck!

should I still go for EK open day?
Hi, all,
I'm a Chinese girl, and yesterday I went to the interview which was hold by the agency in Beijing China, and only if we could pass that, we can attend the open day, which was hold by EK recruiters this Friday ( that is tmw) and Sat. Well, at least we were told so.
However, I was informed that I did not pass the agency's interview this morning. which meant that I can not go for EK's open day.
I'm quite upset and got confused now. we paid the agency some money for the test fee, which I'm sure it's just got collected by the agency. and If by any luck, we got the job with EK, then we would have to pay the agency 1-2 month salary every year as long as the contract with EK ends. This is somehow ridiculous, but it seems so far, its the only way to go through that agency to get a job with any foreign airline in China now.
However, I'm not complaining about that, I like this job, and I feel that I'm not younger any more, 27 yrs old, I know that there is no age limmit for EKwannabes, but there are so many other younger and prettier girls around( there are about 5000 people nominated for this interview, and 600 of them got picked out for the first interview held by the agency, amazing figures!). And I'm not pretty, not slim, near-sighted, geez, I start to beat myself up now. All i have is that I believe I'm a nice person, with a sincere smile, and would love to take care of other people.
I dreamt of being a cabin crew with EK,. it's a nce airline, and Dubai is a nice place, which I got to know since when I was invovled with horse-racing industry in China. But now, Should I stop chasing it? Somehow I dont want to let it go so easily, should I just attend the open day in the next two days, to meet EK recruiters? cos if failed that way, I would have no say, but to give up forever. and get settled down.
It is raining in Beijing now, gloomy, exactly the way how I feel now. Guys, what do you say? Should I go for it at the risk that the agency was there, and throw me out?
Thanks for hear me out, and please ignore me if I'm a bore here...

hello piggie80!
ohmygosh girl! that agency in beijing is just so ughhhh. so ridiculous and so unfair! you had to pay them so that you can attend an assessment day for emirates this coming weekend? and if you get a job with ek, you also have to give them a percentage of your salary evry year? wtf?!
that's NOT so right! 
that agency should be reported to the authorities! haha. by the way, if you can, try calling the emirates airline office in beijing and inquire about the assessment day and also ask them if that agency is somehow affiliated with them regarding recruiting cabin crew
i've attended the initial screening and assessment for emirates and we were NEVER asked to pay a single cent for that.
if its really your dream to be a cabin crew for emirates, pursue it. try and try. there's nothing to lose, you know. i wish you all the best! never give up.
