Hey ,
Maybe you heared correct BUT they do recruit Guys, don't know or sure about his but I've read somewhere that 2,3 guys in 11 crew is necessary (somebody correct me if I am wrong) . And the same way they recruit, like for final results of any assesment day there are 2-3 guys and 9-11 girls BUT thats just my observation .
Anybody with correct facts and figures and yeah knowleddge can answer better
(maybe some1 frm EK 
)

Thanks sparklyeyes!
I had my final interview in london on march 13th!
trust me, the waiting have been horrible!
I have to do the medical now, but since I completed everything for Etihad, it won't take long, just go back to the doctor and have him sign the Emirates form as well, he has all the results and x rays already
)
Have you got the job or still waiting?

Thanks!!!!! It's so unbeliaveable!!!
The first group task was to design a new uniform for emirates and then present it to the other group, plus introduce ourselves.
Second group task was the standard one You are a group of businessmen and you are arranging a motivational seminary, and this and this has to be in it aso.. they asked us all individual questions after our task to make sure that we really were listening so when you agree and smile and all that, don't forget to actually remember what solutions you guys came up with
But like so many others have said, it's not about what you say, it's your approach, attitude and your personality that's important.
Just be positive and calm, friendly and relaxed and confident
Don't be overtalkative!!!! just be pleasant and a great teammember!!!

waiting for their approval too!
hey cart tart! i sent my medical reports last week and i haven't received any confirmation that they actually received the medical reports i submitted. is that normal not to get any reply? so by the way, i emailed them yesterday and asked if they have received it and they just said, they will just keep in touch with me. is that okay? are there instances that your health check up was okay but then all of a sudden they're gonna reject you? yikes! 
i hope theres nothing like that!
goodluck to everyone! the waiting game is not yet finish! haha

My interview
Hi all,
I just come back from the interview and I just personally think that it might be useful to post some of my story here.
I applied for Emirates last week throught the website and a few days later they called me for an interview at the Crew Center. (I'm in Dubai) Before today, I have never read anything about the interview at all. I just got an idea of being a crew, cos my boyfriend is one of them.
Over the phone, I was told to wear the business attire with natural make up. However when I was there, I saw one candidate showed up with very tiny skirt. Another one was wearing knee length boots. I was quite surprised.
I was there at the appointed time at 7.30 am. The real show starts at 10.30 I think. Lots of people were late.
I was sitting in the group discussion, 15 including myself. The topic was "Should we give the mobile to the children? If yes, at what age and if no, why not?"
As soon as the recruiter shut up, everyone started talking and nobody listened to anyone else. It was a big mess in the beginning. I didnt want to interrupt other when they were talking, so I stopped everytime I want to say something. There were like 7 people in the group who got a chance to speak. 2 of them acted like the group leader. 10 mins later, the discussion finished and I didnt even get a chance to open my mouth. It actually look more like an arguing to me, not a discussion!
10 mins later, we have recieved the letters. Definitely I'm out of it with no doubt! Besides all those 7 who talked, all gone as well. For those 7, the 2 who act as leaders are gone, the rest are all in. And yeah, they are those who is wearing micro skirt, knee boot and another gal who show up at almost 10.
I didnt have anything against the way they dress. However I feel funny with myself for waking up at 4.30 in the morning to put on my best suit and try to be there on time. I have no doubt for my fail, cos like I mentioned, I didnt get a chance to talk.
I might try again after 6 months to see if I start shouting like them, will I be in!
Good luck all!

medical
Hi Guys
People that are waiting for their final call ... its normal if you guys didnt get a call straight away. As long as you guys have confirmed with them that they have everything then its all good
im due to fly 18/05 and they have confirmed everything to me by email. It took them a bout 3 weeks after i sent them my medical till i got the final ok. So i wouldnt worry about it too much. just make sure you have rang them and confirmed that they have all your medical reports.
This is probably the worst part of the whole process but hang in there guys youll be fine.
anyway hope that helps
see you guys there

Cover letter required?
Hello everyone,
I rode in on of the previous posts that some of you brought a cover letter along to the open day. I didn't prepare any, so I wonder, do the recruitement team actually ask for a cover letter on the open day?
thank you

about bringing a cover letter on the open day itself, im not sure if its necessary, but when i went to the initial screening, i didn't have to bring one. i don't know how the recruitment works in there, but its better if you prepare right? good luck to you!
good luck to you!

Well I am pretty much done with my interview stuff for now!
I got through all of the stages, about 6 of those letters to open saying "Congratulations your through" or "Sorry your not in"
Very exciting making it through each round!!
I then had my 2 on 1 interview with each of the recruiters on Tuesday which wasn't so good...I only finished Year 11 in HighSchool before moving on to be a Make up artist for 10 years and then went on to do more study to work in Finance (got my Certificate IV by doing a course, not University) which I thought would be enough.
She said I HAD to have year 12
I said that the online form gave the option to pick "Completed Yr 10, Yr 12, University etc" The paperwork I filled out gave a similar option to which I selected Yr 11 with further study.
So thats pretty disappointing but after talking about that for a bit they then went on to interview me for a further 45 minutes
At the end she took all the things they asked me to bring along - Photos, letter of employment etc, said it all looked fine and that she could send it off.
Sooo Im not really sure, Im really hoping that not completing Yr 12 but having further academic, sales and customer service skills will get me through.
Why interview me further if I cant get in?
And why say they would send my stuff if I dont meet the criteria??
What do you guys think???
