hey londongirl00. i think steegily is right. none of the medical tests that i have undergone for emirates had anything to do with eating disorders. perhaps they don't find it that relevant. so maybe you can just go to other doctors and let them issue you certificates without that specific medical history of yours. besides, you have recovered from it already so might as well not let them know of it so as to avoid any complications or conflict that might stop you from joining the company.
see you soon and goodluck with your medicals!

Preliminary Interview
Hi I have been invited to a Preliminary Interview in Dubai on Tuesday. I have bought an outfit and the shoes. I am having my nails done for the big day. I know that I will watch a video and need to take part in a group discussion. Can anyone give me an idea of the topics that may be discussed. What happens in addition to all this. If I happened to be successful how long would I have to prepare for the 2nd round.

opinion
could i get your opinion guys... do you think that EY and EK favour you more with flying experience? i understand they say u dont need experience, but for male recruits do u think that they take that into consideration as they dont take many guys on?
if there is any crew that work for either EY or EK please spill the beans if you have any info? cause imthinking of aplying for a charter carrier for a season!
would it not be great if there was recruitment staff on pprune who could give us hints and tips!! lol that would be fantastic wouldnt it, i know bit of a dreamer i am indeed! lol
thanks guys

Dude, just be yourself.
I'm a male and I passed all the interviews. I had previous cabin crew experience, but they assess you on how you act, communicate and dress. If you dress to the point that you feel good, it helps with all the rest. Rent a suit if you have to. Looking your best helps with the competition as well as your confidence. During the days, dudes didn't really care about how they looked. Be prepared as well. Study the Emirates company, Dubai and certain interview questions. Put the time into it. If you want the job, position yourself by taking the time out and studying what you can. Be confident in yourself, it's a sales pitch but using your personality to do so. I have to say that the recruitment team is really good at picking the people that fit the job. If you don't have what they're looking for than your not gonna get it. To everyone.....ACT YOURSELF!!!!! You will become comfortable and likable. Don't think of what they want to hear as an answer, relate every answer to your previous experience, that way it is truthful and it doesn't sound like your trying to impress them. Think about if you were interviewing someone and say you asked them a questions such as " Name a time when you messed something up and your boss wasn't happy"
"Um, I can say that it has never happened to me"
Whatever.....
Be honest, it is all about you, not the person you think they want. They want to see you, the same way as the passengers do.
If anyone wants to PM me and ask questions, I would be more than happy to help them out.
Remember this though. We all have to make an effort to get somewhere. The competition is immense, so take your time out and knock the competition off the block.

Hey!!!
Do whatever it is that you think will give you the upper hand. If that means getting your nails done or the Vidal Sassoon look, do it!! Just don't go overboard. It is the preliminary. Be confident and graceful. Open the door a crack and let them peek through on your personality. Don't show too much as you don't want to be too confident. The thing is that most preliminary selections are done by an outside organization. Meaning that it is the hardest part of the selection period as it is pretty much based on " What is the my opinion on what Emirates wants". Also meaning that it is pretty much based on first impression. Throughout the following days you will go through rigorous assessments. Hence "Assessment days" I wont go on much longer with this but if anyone wants help, I would love to try and do the best I can to get them through. A lot of the stuff posted on here can be a great help, but you must also keep in mind that it's a guideline. When there is a post on what to do what not to do, it can do good or bad. The reason why I say this is because. It is not the same recruiters in every country, it is all a guideline they go through. As I said "It's a guideline" just like my post. Best of luck to everyone!!! I really mean that

hey nothing to worry. if the doctors say you're okay, you're okay. you're just being paranoid like everyone else who goes through all the stages. hahaha! relax. but if you dont recieve the final approval 11 days before you're flight, you better contact them. see you soon!

after Interview
HI everyone,
I attempted to the open Day in Dusseldorf 10 days ago. I reached the final interview. I sent all the papers (pictures, copy on contract and diploma,...) Now I am waiting for the answer, and like everyone that waiting is killing me, I know they should answer within 6 weeks, but anyone knows how long does it usually takes? and do they call you or do they send you an email?
Anyone from here was in dusseldorf that day?
By the way my final interview last only around 30 minutes, is it good or bad??
Thanks for your help
