Hey tiluchi10,
I and many others were in the same 'boat' as your are now. Well, maybe EK are not seeing your potential. I have heard that people have tried atleat 4/5 times and eventually got in. The main advice is be yourself etc.. I am sure that worked for many of us...
Tips: Well as said before, I have set up like a "collection"of useful links and tip-y things. I'll try to get it up on my blog asap...
Of course, one day you will get it,just basically think as a cabin crew member and reflect upon that how you behave (in a way) on the day.
I would say don't revise so much that it becomes tooooo obvious to the recruiters, keep it light and real. only weeks ago, it was my dream to join this family. I have background of hospitality in a hotel and ek ground staff.
Good Luck, keep trying and going to all open days as possible after 6 months...
P.S Also,ekeyqr... there is one thing called howtobecome.co.uk and click cabin crew but I have never used it so I cant say much

Hi ! I was at my first interview for cabin crew and I passed . they have to see that you want that job , you are ready to make compromises, tell them that you are proud that you can help people , you like to travel and meet different people of different nationalitites, etc . Good luck !

Welcome or better said "Marhaba" to all PPRUNERS who are joining and coming to Dubai, wish you all a pleasent flight with us:-)
To those who were recruited in south america or Asia: As ist is known that sooooo many people want to join Emirates in those countries especially Singapore, Argentinia, Bolivia, Japan etc, Emirates does not recruit during the first round. There are special agencies who are recruiting for these positions, and all those who have the potential will meet our recruiters later for the real testing! I really don`t know what they look for. if they don`t like you you will never get the job, it sounds bad, but during group discussions they will be observing you from head to toes! And don`t forget that it is a completely different way of life here in the U.A.E and that it is even a hard job and each company want employees who will stay for a long time! But I also noticed during assessment days that very good people who were so good were not taken and do you know why??? Emirates is not looking for these kind of people who are too arrogant or who talk too much as they were the leader!!!! That`s what I have observed during assessments! I know that it is difficult and even me attended 2 Assessments to make it! But I am sure that you will join if you try again and don`t give up! Wish y`all the best!

ek_ey_qr_dreamer :
Thanks back... Im glad to help. I worked for Emirates Airlines Ground Staff, not any agency like Reed or OCR. This basically was check-in,Customer Queries and crew room analysis so I have worked with crew...! Well, all I can say that having experience in the Customer Service/Hospitality industry is a 'massive' asset to you, like is a language. However, I have read on forums that people who worked for CC or other airlines as Crew did'nt get the job so it all depends on the day...
Geni22
Well Done and Congratulations. Welcome to the team.Glad to hear EK were quick with you!
tiluchi10
Yes sure.
Sleepy:
Congratulations on the medical completition, it is a pain the ...erm... backside...
Normally, and I mean Normally, they reply in a few days time. I sumbited mine on a Tuesday and got reply on Thursday. They're quite quick if all is fine. Allow 1-2 weeks. I know, I want to leave now.
I have finally resigned at Manchester Airport, but I loved it to bits!
I need stress therapy!
Sistem:
True. However, don't appear too desperate for it
. ,
True, also emphisaise that you want to keep a standard of high customer service to customers/pax. And you are willing to escape your comfort zone and are willing to help others, and put others first etc...
P.S
For the people who want links/tips, I am setting up a blog, and will pm the link soon.

EK online recruitment
Has anyone been succesful applying for a role with EK using their online careers programme. It must be the most awful system I have come across - its so rigid and inflexible, gives no room to put a bit of personality into it....its just a black and white system.
OK I appreciate they must get thousands of online applications a day and need some generic system to sort them BUT i'm sure they let some good people slip thru the net...

Fed Ex
HI Genevieve, I don’t know how that works either.
At the open day I filled in the `Entry permit application form´ with my apartment address, but now I am moving from there so I filled In the Joiners Form with my new address.
I sent them an email with that same query and telling them my new address but I haven’t received a reply yet.

Eating Disorder
Hi LondonGirl,
There is nothing specific in the medicals about eating disorders. However there are 2 questions at the end of the questionnaire which might apply. ie:
1. Any illness that caused you to take time off work for a period longer than 20 days
2. Any illness not mentioned above
Why don't you just go to a doctor who doesn't know your history and not mention anything about it?
