Hey Piggie80
Hello sweety pie,, Cheer up . Don't be upset. 
Firstly you are in a perfect matured age for being Emirates cabin crew member. Secondly you've got amazing heart which all passengers need from flight attendants. And you seemed very smart girl as well. Go for what you want. EK is not hiring models. I am sure if you try your best you will get this job and you will be an asset for EK. God bless you
Kisses

Piggie80,
Hi there I agree with Sleeping Beauty... here in Manila, the agency that is affiliated with EK doesn't require applicants to pay them just to get an interview
. I'm not sure with other countries, though... 
but it's very alarming to have heard that. I've tried to view EK's website and as of this month, there's no schedule for both open days and assessment days in China . I suggest you to investigate on this matter. Don't worry, people here in PPRUNE will help you out dear.

Hi there!!
I have finally decided to go to the Open Day at the end of the month!
I'm starting to be sooo stressed out about it!
heeeelp!
I have one question for you guys that just passed all the application process (lucky you!! congrats!): why do you think you've been outstanding among the 100 or 200 others applicants, and made you be hired? your experience, being relaxed and natural, being sociable, having bright answers, your beauty
? no jokes apart, what would you advice your best friend if he/she wanted to apply?
Were you stressed out the Big Day?
So how's the Open Day going basically? you give your resume, have a little interview, watch a movie about Emirates, then the group is cut down in half, then you have a test of english and participate in groups of discussion?
And if you're in the final 10, they tell you to come back the day after, or some other days? because i'll be staying at the hotel, and i don't know how many nights to book, and when to take my return plane ticket...
Last question: what about your dressing, make-up? jewels? heel shoes?
hair?
Is there's anyone here attending the Paris Open Day at the end of April?
Thanks!!

Tips to be selected
Hey flymarylaety! I don't know for sure that I can give you the right advice and all but since two of my friends are working at EK and I was selected this time, (we have something in common..) I think I can give you a small tip of how to be selected.
I think most of the Japanese candidate cared too much about their hair style, make-up, what to wear and all. But most candidates who have put so much energy in making their appearance look good failed.
The first tip I can give is to speak up at the GD, but don't be too full of yourself. Be keen to the atmosphere, know the flow. I can assure you speaking up clearly and loudly is the key to remain as a candidate.
The second tip is to be confident to yourself. KNOW that you're gonna be selected, because then, you will naturally have a smile on your face.
The third tip is to laugh whenever they are making a joke or when you're talking. They will like you if you're smiling and laughing all the time (but don't go crazy
).
The last tip but not least, you don't have to give them clever answer. But LISTEN to what they are asking you. Be NATURAL when answering.
You don't have to be pretty (coz I know I am not), you just gotta be tall to clear the arm reach. Give them some charm and you'll get the job.
All 3 of us (me, and my two friends) we are not fakers. We have natural smile and we are not afraid to face new people. That's what we have in common.
I hope this helps. Ah, and I also think that what you majored in college doesn't really matter either. Good luck mate!

Don't Put your eggs all one basket
Dear fellow Ppruner's!
Im sure it may have been mentioned here in the past, didn't have the time to go back and look at all the previous posts. But a friend of mine works for Etihad, and I know there have been alot of bad posts written about them. Truth be known Emirates had a huge number of problems in there first few years of operation in the 80's, and I am sure they still have there fair share now. Running an airline is not a mickey mouse operation, and requires alot of time to prosper. So in along round about way, I would encourage people who want to be cabin crew to apply there also. The friend of mine thinks it is an awesome company and only getting better with time, and the right talented people. That's YOU!
Give it ago! Don't just think Emirates is it!
GOOD LUCK!

OK I have my Open Day tomorrow and I am so excited!!
I have noticed that they ask for a letter of recommendation from your current employer?
I think its a bit cheeky asking my current boss for a letter....I am able to get a letter of reference from a past employer, not a problem but asking my current for a letter so I can leave his company may leave me on shakey ground if I dont get this job with Emirates!
Who did you guys get your letters from?
Loving this site, it has provided me with so much invaluable information and hearing about everyones success and happiness is awesome!
Fingers Crossed!
Wish me luck

Thanks so much Mr. XCNBY33S for all those advices!!
I know i need to work on myself and not be stressed out once there! that will be a killer and give a wrong impression of myself!
But i'm so excited about that interview and about working at Emirates that i feel pain in my stomach when i think about my interview process! haha!
Yes i don't want to put too much make up on. I have bought a nice business suit, and i'll try to tie hair up (strict or more losen style? i don't feel strict style suits me). For my make-up I'll keep it natural, as i do everyday.
So yeah i'll try to smile and be relaxed and natural!
<><><>
So do you have to bring a recommendation letter to the Open Day??
Tasha_28: good luck for tomorrow! you'll make it!
let us know how it went!

Tasha_28,Elouise,skt_84,flymarylaety
Tasha_28, hi there! I got my recommendation letter from my uni. professor and from my current boss. Yea, I thought the same, asking my boss for a recommendation letter so that I can apply to a new company??! What the heck would my boss think of me, right? But some of the people on this site and myself asked our bosses and their responses were very warm and welcoming. Maybe the reaction of your boss would be the same too, why don't you give it a shot? Who knows how they react, right?
Elouise, hello I hear many rumors about those airline courses, good ones and bad ones. I just definately know that not all students from those schools who paid alot of money are definately guaranteed to be hired by the airlines. On the other hand, I read some articles saying that some airline rather prefer students who have trained through those academies. I personally have a feeling that Emirates are not the type. I hope this helps your concern gal
skt_84, hey there! Emirates usually gives 90% off discount for your family members, but what I guess is that they give you discount from their original ticket price. Say original ticket costs 2000$ to fly from your country to Dubai, then they will give you 90% off, which you only have to pay 200$.
I assume they do not give you 90% off discount from those travel agency price, such as 700$ (campaign fee) from your country to Dubai. This is a bit confusing but I hope you get the idea.
flymarylaety, hi! Yep, I did bring my recommendation letter on the Open day, I don't know if this helped me get through their screening but I got in anyways, haha! I hope this helps and good luck to you girl

Hello,
I have another question about the Open Day. If I get through to the interview, I want to make sure that I don't look like a cartoon character wearing the same thing each day. So, I would like to know if anyone has any tips on what a guy should wear to the open day. I know that I should probably be wearing suit and tie for the interview, but is it okay to be just slightly less formal for the Open Day?
Thanks for the help. This site has been extremely helpful, so far, and I think it will definitely keep helping me as I go through the application process. Anyone else here going to Glasgow for the Open Day?

*luckyeye13: Yes i have the same question... is that alright to be with the same business suit two or three days in a row if we get through all the stages of recruitment? I just have one good business suit that i want to wear for the Open Day to increase my chances of getting "noticed" and looking serious, but then for the other interview day, i'll be probably wearing the same...
Btw, there are two or three days of interview for the one getting hired?
I know on the second day you have the psychotest and a 1 hour interview... and then on the third?
When is the Open Day in Glascow? good luck to you too!
*Mr.XCNBY33S: thanks again for all the explanations, you've been of a great help!!!!
I'm finishing my cover letter, if there's anyone already hired by Emirates that want to have a quick look at it, let me know!

I am new, but I have read every message, and was wondering if anyone could help me? I have the group careers website from top to bottem and it doesn't say if they come to America for open days or Assessment days! I don't think they do but I read somewhere that the once came to Mexico.
I live in California so Mexico wouldn't be a problem, but if anyone could shead some more light on EK coming to the Southwestern U.S.A. or Mexico I would greatly appriciate it.
