My problem after final interview

I got my final interview one month ago. Recentely I received an e- mail "You have progressed to the next stage of the recruitment process whereby your file has been recommended for final approvals" and 2 numbers of telphones and the name of the person who I should contact with. I tried to contact with with that lady but my efforts came to nothing.The ladies who are in office there are not able to tell me when she will come back. In this mail they said that I have to contact with them urgently. I want but cannot contact with the person they can. What does it mean "you have progressed..........."?????
Can u give me other phone numbers to contact with emirates recruitement in dubai??
What to do? Should I wait??

Just keep trying, i didnt have that problem. Just ask to speak to someone in the recruitmen about your file. I'm sure they gave you confidential joiners numbers. or you can always email them back... good luck.

Jessmin -

For European flights over 4.5 hours one way, the standard layover time is 24 hours. This is for destinations that have flights leaving once a day. Malta (24 or 48 hrs) and Milan (24, 48, or 90 hours) are the exceptions.

For Australian flights, Perth is the only one that isn't part of a multi sector trip (28 hrs). The two trips of MEL-AKL and SYD-CHC have a layover of 24 hrs at each outstation. The SIN-MEL has 24hrs in SIN and 18 hours in MEL. The SIN-BNE-AKL has 24 hrs in SIN, 48 X 2 hrs in BNE plus the BNE-AKL leg is a shuttle. Same pretty much applies for BKK-SYD-AKL.

For the JFK flight, all layovers there are 26-30 hrs depending on the departure time.

All HKG flights have 25 hrs layover time. All far east asian flights have 24-30hrs layover time, with BKK and SIN being the exception as these tend to be multi-sector flights.

Hope that helps.

helfish

thanks. that help.
pretty short for far east. but now, i have better understanding of emirates layover. for the multi sectors flights, do you stay with the same set of crew?

[helfsich]

Unless you're deadheading over, or call sick at an outstation, you always have the same crew arriving with you into Dubai as you do leaving.

Flyrules

Thanks for the congrats!! I am very happy to share my experiences with anyone, anyone can send me a message if you have specific questions.

RE: the delayed start date, the chick at the interview told me that they usually call the 'turn around ' time 6 weeks to be offered, then 8 weeks to get on a course, so in total they usually expect 14weeks between final interview and commencement date.... effectively, I have only asked for 15 weeks which exceeds the usual by only a week, so it shouldn't be a drama.

Flyrules - on the longer flights, to cabin crew get rest on board? I know with other long haul airlines the crews have bunks on board.

Hoping to be in DBX soon.... cross your fingers toes and eyes for me!

The longest 4-6 weeks of my life

Hi everyone! I have just finished my Final Interview. And i would just like to share my experience. Everything they asked were situational questions about my job. I am already working as a cabin crew for a different airline so it wasnt that hard to give a few examples. I think i did fairly well. But what bothers my is the raven test. Out of 15 of us who were invited for the final interview, i was the only one who was made to take the raven test. I know this has already been discussed in the previous posts. But everything about it is quite vague. Why do they only choose a few people to take the Raven test? And is it really a good thing? Or a bad thing? I hope someone here can enlighten me on that.

Just one more question about the medical exam. If they find something wrong with you, a sickness or anything thats treatable or curable, will they give you a chance to treat it? Or will they just reject you?

[sulkette]

212cm?

I know, this question is not new, but as the posts are older, I try again: How strict are the recruiters with the 2.12m-rech-test? I am ~1.60m and do NOT reach the 2.12m. But apart from that, I guess, I would be a perfect FA. Does it make sense to apply? A few weeks ago, I flew with Emirates, and there was a FA who definitely was about my size. So, is there hope for me?
Thanks a lot!

[sulkette]

Hey, I`m 159 cm - so can I become a FA for Emirates? I`m confused..... I dont`t manage to reach the 212cm, but I`m taller than the (here) required 157.5cm - HELP!!!!!
Thank you very very much!!!

[IMJ]

2.12

I am only 158 cm tall, but i have reached 2.12 when i was having the assessments with EK

[sulkette]

Thanks a lot for your reply. I don`t know what`s wrong with me – and my arms that are obviously too short…. But I thought I`m not that small…
Was it difficult for you? Did you have to stretch a lot?
I desperately want to become an Emirates FA and I don`t want that I`ll fail because of a few cms. Are they very strict??
