When to resign...

Hi all

Thanks again for some great answers to all the different questions asked. I really enjoy reading this thread everyday (does that make me a nerd?? )

I just have another quick question ...

How long before you leave do you get the email telling you to resign from your current employer?

AND

How long before you leave do you get your airline etkt?

I've done my medical, been asked to reconfirm my acceptance via email but i am still waiting on the email from HR to tell me to resign from my current airline. How long before fly out date does this normally occur??

Thanks everyone and enjoy!

Hi Gone U/S

Congrats on getting through!!

I notice your in Sydney??

I am waiting to hear back from my final interview in Perth the other day(10 days ago)....can I just ask, how long did it take for them to let you know that you had the job?

Do you know anyone who got the rejection email? and how long it took for Emirates to let them know they hadn't been successful?

My 2 on 1 didn't go so well so I am checking about 5 times a day to see if I get that nasty lil rejection email!
It's driving me NUTS!! haha

tasha_28, you might wanna check their website regarding duration of respone or result of your final interview. as far as i remember, i have read somewhere that if they do not send you an email for a certain number of weeks, it means the person didnt get through. I hope you get in, though. I wish all of here the best of luck! Pray hard for it.

Hey everyone!! Is there anyone who flies out May 18th???

[flyflyflying]

We're always waiting to hear from Dubai

Hi Gone U/S I'm also waiting for the final word since submitting my medicals about 3 weeks ago. I'm scheduled to depart on 1st June, what about you?

And hello Tasha_28, I got my call from Dubai about 6 weeks after my final interview. Probably because I sent my reference letters later (I didn't have them with me at the interview). Apparently those who got the 'bad news email' hear sooner, about 2 - 3 weeks after the finals.

I hope you'd be successful and looking forward to meeting everyone in Dubai!

Well, just actually out of the group discussion! Still in the radisson using the computer. Unfortunatly i didnt get through. Gutted. Not much to tell you though. I did notice though in the group discussion.. all of the leaders of the conversating got through... which makes you think you really dont have a clue what they are looking for! I spotted a few who i thought they would definately hire and they got through. You can just tell by their image and what they look like. Im gutted but hey, ill try again in 6 months!! xx

[Gone U/S]

Hey all
Almost the weekend upon us! Time to get those dancing shoes out of the cupboard
Tasha_28 - Congrats on getting so far into the recruitment process. I just had a look at when they sent me my contract and I was lucky as it took them just under two weeks between when I had my final interview and received the phone call to say "Come on down!!!"
Dont get too stressed up about it and remember that Friday is the weekend in Dubai so they won't be ringing you now until at least Monday.
flyflyflying - to you my dear congratulations on being successful. When do you fly out?? I'm in the middle of June.
I told EK that I require 1 month notice in order to resign from my current employer so I wonder if they take that into account when they send you the email asking you to resign. Do you think that if i said i only needed 6 weeks notice I would have known by know and similarly do you think it i only needed 2 weeks notice that email would be delayed even more Or perhaps it goes a little something like this: I'm reading into things to much
Finally to everyone trying for EK crew - best of luck!!
Charlene85 try not to be too cut up about not getting into EK. I think you are right in that they don't always know what they are looking for. The key is to just be yourself ... If only you knew how I behaved at the interview. I actually went for moral support for a girlfriend of mine who wanted the job. Unfortunately she failed the reach test and i made it through to say Chicken or Beef for the next three years!!

[flyflyflying]

Thank you, Gone U/S

I'm scheduled to fly out 1st June, training to start 7th June. Yeah I was just discussing this notice period issue with a friend who's also joining EK. It doesn't seem to matter to EK whether you need 2 weeks or 2 months. I am self employed and I have stated I need 2 months to sort things out before departure. Well, I have not heard! It seems they call us candidates about 2 weeks before scheduled departure - anyone here can confirm that?

Though my medical results are good I don't want to assume I already got the job simply because we were told not to. However this state of limbo is definitely not helping us prepare for relocation - I don't even know whether I should get all packed and move out in a month's time!

I noticed that a few people have recently said they got the call within 2 weeks, Emirates must have really done a good job sorting out the recruitment process...I have gone through some past posts and noticed some poor people have had to wait over 6 months!

That would be very un-nerving

Well I am 11 days into the waiting, I have no nails left and everyone I know is making wishes for me on every star and eyelash....plus my sister who I have seen 2 times in 4 years (she lives in America) crossing her fingers so she can get cheap flights and come hang out with her big sis.

Very exciting!

hello! waiting--

I've been trying to call emirates to follow up my application (re medical results) but there's no one answering!

looks like a lot of us are leaving for Dubai in June! by the way, EX-CCMEMBER told me that when he called the emirates office, he was told that they work on a priority basis. so maybe now, they're confirming all the medicals and stuff for those traveling sooner than all of us!

so i guess we all just have to wait for everything

so by the way, when i received the letter from the cabin crew recruitment team,

Work hours:
Sat to Friday - from 0700hrs to 1700hrs

does this mean they don't have rest days?

[mytcrew]

Tasha: I got my call 5 weeks after my final interview Don't worry, I have good feelings, you'll be fine

Sleepingbeauty:
About the office answering calls, they do, you just gotta keep on ringing!
I once called 10 minutes constantly, and finally they answered

I just sent my medicals as well, and I am scheduled to fly June 22nd. Don't wanna wait that long!!!!

Hope you guys are doing great, and I can't wait until we all come down to DBX!!!!
Have an awesome weekend!!!

[BRISBANEemirates]

I received my call on a Friday (in Dubai).. so they must work on fridays. I have submitted my medicals, and am now just waiting to hear back. I know of two other girls who have received confirmation, and have been asked to resign.

The waiting game.... again.

[mytcrew]

I know! The waiting is a killer! I mean, we know that it will be fine, it's just that we want it on paper

We'll hear back soon about the medicals, don't worry And as long as the doctor marked "fit" and all that, we'll be fine

[Tasha_28]

Thanks you guys!

I hope to look back at this time in a few months and laugh (maybe with some other wannabes a bar somewhere in Dubai haha ) at how funny we were back when we were waiting to hear the good news!

::wait wait wait::

direction : the wall

Since I received that mail one month ago from emirates I rode a lot about the company, I have been through all the posts in this forums, trying to understand what the recruitement team was looking for and above all, being ready for all kinds of questions.

we were 140 this morning in Paris, just 1 minute per persons to hand their cvs,one single question per person, no questions/answers session.
a letter, #11, thank you for coming, you're out.

conclusion:
I don't understand.
