Hi to everyone waiting to hear from Emirates.
I haven't posted on here for a while, but as I've mentioned before, I don't work for EK, but my daughter does.
She's been in Dubai for 10 months now and loves it!
Melisa.....regarding photos: the same thing happened to my daughter. They rang and asked her for more photos. They wanted the business one's again. Skirt too long, jacket too wrinkled and not fitted enough etc.
Just to say not to worry, as I said, this happened to her and she was accepted, and now happily flying with Emirates for 10 months!
Well, best wishes to all, and good luck,
mother hen.

Hi Melisa - yes I remember you, you poor darling, I remember watching Chelsea run after you thinking 'this girl is either going to jump in the air and cheer or break down in tears of relief'!
Ahhh... well... if my business attire pics are no good, I will be rather cheesed, as they cost me $180 to have done at a studio! I was not able to get sky blue background anywhere else, short of stringing up a sheet at home and standing on it. So hope they just want some more casual ones or something...
Not sure if you remember me - I was the one who spoke briefly to everyone about what it is like to be cabin crew (i used to fly with Ansett and Virgin Blue). I don't think we chatted much, but I do remember you.
I'll post again when I find out what they were calling for!

hopefully all will be well with your photos, but if not don't worry.
Just take them again using a normal digital camera, that's what we did with my daughters photo's. We then loaded them onto the computer and changed the background colour on there.Then we printed them off in the correct sizes they required. We also did this for the passport pics she needed to take with her.
I'm sure everything will go well for you,
best wishes,
mother hen.

Thanks guys!
Mother Hen: Thanks for telling me about your daughters' experience.. Your story is very encouraging to me 
SHFG: Ahh yes were you the one on the open day to the right hand side of the room in the middle rows? Yes after Chelsea told me and went back into the building i burst into tears crying in Joy!!! Lol.. Then when i walked back into the lobby I said to everyone "I'm Back!" and everyone applauded!!! Wow the amount of support everyone gave was amazing!
I'm also working for Virgin Blue at the moment as Ground Crew, its a great job but i've always wanted to fly for Emirates.
I also did my pictures at home! Luckly I love taking photographs and had bought myself an SLR camera last year. So before the final interviews i rushed out and bought white material to use as a backdrop and used all the lamps in the house to make me brighter.. Lol. It turned out really well like in the studios. I didn't use the blue background as that is only really needed for the passport pic's if you are approved.
I'll keep you guys informed too
Thanks again!

Hmmmm....
So they called yesterday, no voicemail message left but it is a number from the UAE.....
I called back today... twice... left two voicemail messages asking them to return my call, and they haven't.
I am assuming they are really busy, but starting to panic slightly!
Just want to KNOW... ya know??

Hi MissWorld21,
I attended an open day in Ireland. And the whole thing was spread over 3 days. The first day was the open day which started at 9am. People who didn't make it through the group activities were dismissed at about 12.00.
The day went on till about 6pm. Then we could choose if we wanted our final interview the following day, or the day after that.
Your open day is on a saturday. I don't know if they'll do interviews on the sunday! maybe someone else can answer that.
To be on the safe side, I suppose book your flight back on the Monday.
Hope you do really really well. Best of Luck

To anyone who's already received the email with details of the medicals:
How long after you got the famous phone call, until you get the email? I got the call on the 5th July. It's now a week later and I have received nothing.

Hello Everyone,
In average, you should recieve "the call" 4-5 weeks after the final interview. Within 2 weeks you will recieve "the email" with the contract, medicals, check list and drug list. After medicals have been emailed to DXB, another 2 weeks for them to confirm.
Right now I am just waiting for them to confim whether or not my medicals and everything is OK. I submited my medicals on monday.

Well, it's nearly close of business for the week in the UAE, so I guess I won't be getting a follow up call this week... they phoned at 4:30pm on Wednesday and I missed it, then have tried calling back but just get voicemail...
I suppose I need to be grateful that I did receive a call at all, although they still haven't called me back.... I guess it is better than hearing nothing at all... and I figure it is a good sign that I have heard from them so soon (2 weeks after final interview)...
I just hope and pray that because I missed the call they dont' put my application at the bottom of the pile and forget about me! Does anyone know how they do the follow up contacts for recruitment? The voicemail message went to an individual's voicemail (ie - not the general 'thanks for calling emirates' message, it was 'thanks for calling XYZ')
Are they usually pretty slack at returning calls??
Ahhhh - *breathing into brown paper bag*

Pls help
I have yet to receive any email after the medical approval email. I understand we have to scan the resignation form and return to them. The main question for me is I am not working at the moment. EK knows that. So will I receive different email stating about my eticket and Visa?
Help would appreciated.

Hey Jess,
Looking at all the information they sent us, I think you dont need to worry about that. It says:"To be issued on company letterhead and signed by the company designated official only" (you obviously dont have one at the moment). You are right, I am sure they are aware of your current employment status.
They do ask, however, for 2 reference letters from your previous employer (must be stamped by them). This information is in the body of the "Offer of Employment" email. Notice it says that if you have already submitted the same to the recruitment officer at the final interview, you must ignore that requirement.
I remember during our final interview, there were some candidates who never had a job. Those were asked for 2 reference letters from professors at school. So if that is your case, I`d go ahead and submit 2 of those letters. I mean, the same applies for any job when you have just graduated from college.
Most likely, if they ask people for reference letters from their actual employer followed by a confirmation of resignation, is because they want to make sure you left your job in good terms (you didnt just ran away or vanished from your current job, that just doesn`t look good
) and that your contract with them is over. Again, this may not be your case.
Not sure if this will help but I hope it somehow does
