recomendations!
hi guys, i was wondering if existing ek crew can tell me, do emirates take recomendations...
i have a couple of friends who i have not asked yet as i was unsure, but is it a good idea to ask them to recomend me? does it make a difference?
also i have applied but i am not recieving anything back, and i realy want an invite to the assesment day in birmingham next month, any tips would be great.
many thanks guys.

Recommendation
EK Dreamer...
Unfortunatly the crew can't give recommendations, i have a friend who works for them but she advised me i had to go through the whole recruitment process. Lucky for me i got in and start on 5th October!
When i applied online, i didnt hear for about a month or so and got a call to go to the first group interview about 2 weeks before. If you apply online and they like your CV you wont have to go to the open day (well i didnt!) they just invite you to the group interview.
Good Luck!

vickster: re medicals
congrats on getting ek.
not sure about medical costs(differ from doctor to doctor) but I have mentioned before about the audiogram. I know you can now get this done at the opticians. My daughter got hers done at our local one, but i know Specsavers do them. When my daughter had hers done they were free, so hopefully they still are,and this might save you a little. She also had to pay for her chest xray as our GP was not very helpful and wouldn't say on the form that she'd had a chest infection so needed an xray! She hadn't had an infection, but that's beside the point,he he. if he'd said it, she could have had it done on the NHS. I think that cost us £60.
I hope this is of some help? Good luck with the medicals, I know they can seem like a lot of money and take forever, but once the're done it wont be long till your in Dubai.
Wishing you all the best for your future career with Ek,
mother hen.

Medicals
Vickster...
Hey, Had my medicals a few weeks ago, my doctors medical cost me £90, Chest xray was £78, £28 for the Hep B jab (all the others were free), Eye test and contact lense check was about £30, Dentist was £50 to sign the form and do the xrays (plus i had to pay for 3 fillings) and the hearing test was free at specsavers (as mother hen said).
It was quite stressfull getting it all done, but once its done as mother hen said its all worth it in the end. I start 5th October.
Good Luck and dont worry if you can't get them done within the 2 week time frame, i think they understand the NHS is not great, i called them and they said to take my time as i had plenty of time, so i got them done in 3 weeks.

12-oct Team
Illy: Am leaving on the 12-oct as well. 
Heard their is a delay in issuing the visa and thus some of our collegues over here their dates were moved. Hope it does not happen to us !
PM me if u want.
Anyway join the team
By the way another mate of mine just moved in DXB and she said : she got a brand new apartment out somewhere in the desert but near the airport and far from Sheikh Zayed Rd. Lots of construction around the area.
Couple of days when we join is fun and their is a blood test and a day at the clinic. Plus loads of paperwork and staff meet & Greet.

Final Interview
Hi,
I had my final interview at the end of August and am still awaiting the outcome. This week, I found out that some people did not pass the final interview stage and as a result received the email. I also heard that some people did get the call from EK and have progressed to the next round. It has been 3 weeks for me, and I still have not heard anything... not even an email. I have read every post on this site regarding this issue, but I still do not understand why they have not called or emailed me. I understand that they are really busy, but I just don't get why they inform some people and leave the rest. I was also told that if they were not interested in me, they would have informed me by now but I also read that some people waited 3 weeks and still got the dreaded email. As a result, I am neither here nor there and I am stressing about it. Has anyone been in the same situation as myself?
