From my understanding and as I have been accepted by EK, they do not write to your references until they atleast offer you the job. In most cases, and as I was notified at my assessment day, most of the time EK do not actually get in contact with your references, they only do so if they feel they need more information on you. In which case, you have nothing much to worry about in terms of getting in trouble with your manager. Hope that helps.

Hey Mister,
I had my interview with the same recruiters. Actually they remember me and just aksked me 3 questions. We had 45 people at the beggining and for the final just 10 went through.
What i can tell you is that i was much more nervous this time than the last year. now i am waiting for almost 2 weeks for the final answer.
fingers crossed

reference and all
dandanjose, ... tell me about it! i was so nervous too when i had my second interview that i nearly peed myself. lol. worse, it was exactly the same room, and same timing as well. what different were the questions and there were two instead of one interviewer.
with regards to reference, again, based on my personal experience, none of the given referees were actually contacted. moreover, reference letter from your current employer is not required. instead, they just asked me to provide the first page of my offer letter/contract with my current employer as a proof of my employment status.
i hope the above clear the matters and once again, good luck!
cheers,

Dont be too stressed. I went to the last one in Melbourne and did well. Just be prepared for a very long day, and don't be afraid to meet new people. The more people you get to know, the more comfortable you'll be in the group stages.
And forget about Jetstar, I didn't even get to the final round with them, and now I'm a few medicals away from working with Emirates.

Refernce letters are required! This will be also my 2n interview with Emirates as I did not pass my final last year! Hope that I will make it through this year! here is something I quoted from the last invitation for the final interview:
........your final interwiev pack consits of the following:
-Guidelines for completeing the application form
-Applicationn for Cabin Crew Employment
-UAE Entry Permit Application Form
-Inventory of Items
-Written Reference Requirement Form
-psychometric Assessment Feedback letter
Written Reference Requirement Form:
1. To be from present or most recent employer
2. If you are ex cabin crew or existing cabin crew you MUST also provide a written reference from the Airline of which you are/were an employee/employed!
bla bla bla bla:-)
In my opinion they require them!!!!!
An other question for those who did their 2nd final interview: Did you contact Emirates for your psychometric Assessment Feedback after 3 weeks after your 1st final interview?

Hey again!!!
honestly i did not because i knew why i didnt pass last year. A monh after receivig the non-wanted-letter i received a call asking to send new pictures. I sent over again and didnt pass again!!!
I was over weight, my chics were huge and i am sure that the reason was that.
Now i lost 10 kg, what makes me feel a bit more confindente, but you know, waiting for 5 weeks is a nightmare. You change your thoughts daily and start having ups and downs.
I am sure about one thing. I really dont want to receive that e-mail again, It was traumatizing and i got really upset.
Cheers
Dan

Hey! But I don`n know why I failed! But what I remeber is that the intertview was fine but the pictures I gave them were not of EK`s standards! Taht means that my passport sized photographs were not in focus and I was not wearing the jacket! I am pretty sure about it! Now I am waiting from the next recruitment day! Well did they change the assessment process or was it nearly the same in Brazil? I hope that if they see me that they will give me the 2nd chance!!!

It was exactly the same. the only thing that changed a bit was the english test. Problably you dont have, i dont know!!!
anyway take a good picture now. spend a bit more but that the right one. I have seen really good looking people being refused because of the pictures.
Good luck !!

If you do very well in the personal interview but submit photographs that do not meeting their standards, they don't select you? It frankly sounds a little bit ridicilous if that is the case.

Unfortunately that's the way it works at EK. Remember that your file gets sent to Dubai and first impression counts, as Recruitment in DXB do not know you, hence they have your pictures to go by and unfortunely if they are not good, well....need I say more.

Ohhh guys you cannot imagine how full of power I am this year! I will make it and I am pretty sure about that!!!!!!1

midadi-san,
indeed you are right, reference letters (with all the requirements, i.e, on a company letter head and so on) from you previous employers are required. however, what i meant to point out was the reference letter from your 'current/present' employer.
as in my case, again, based on my personal experience, they didnt ask for a reference letter from my current employer (like you, otherwise i'd be in trouble too). instead, they just needed a proof of my current employment status, thus, copy of my first page contract was required.
nonetheless, do not quote me on that as what i have learnt is that the recruitement process can be vary from place to place.
moreover, later on after you definitely get the job (fingers crossed), a so called 'letter of confirmation of resignation' (or a release letter from you present employer, yet again with all the requirements) will be required to be produced/submitted upon joining/arriving in dubai.
cheers,
skyisthelimit

Hi again, yes i understand! i think they require them to see that you are really employed by this company you are telling them about! Just to have the necessary proofs! Well I have 2 nice reference letters and I am preparing everything now so that I can hand them anything out they require during the final if I will make it that far again:-) Oh God please help me! Now I read that there is no Global Assessment Day in Frankfurt but it has changed to an Opden Day hahaha that sounds great!!!!!!! weeks and I will know what wil happen OMG I am soooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aah, its nice to be back. Just managed to get a breather from training.
I will hopefully post all my experiences soon.
Midadi, the book is not due to be on sale till January 08. Order from Whsmith or Foyles. They are taking preorders. Too late for me though.
Trust me, this is the dream. IM LIVING THE DREAM.
