This is really confusing I mean we dont know what goes on over there and we might not have got a call about references but i still think its a positive thing that they are even calling you from Dubai. Employers only usually do references when they want you.
Are your references clean then? if they are maybe something else wasn't adding up or something. I heard from someone that the dates didnt match on cv or something and they checked references . This person HAD the job so i really feel quite positive about this .

I am also positive that you have the job in the bag. lets face it, EK has tonnes of applications to get through and if they were not satisfied with yours, they would have just ignored it and say no to you. Instead they have chosen to follow it up, so your file must be good. It is probably nothing too serious regarding your reference, just routine. Chin up...

Question...
Hey guys...
To all of you who have just been accepted, well done. I have a question specifically for you guys though.
Is there any truth to the rumour that the "quiet" ones in the group discussions/activities on the assesment day seem to be the succesful ones? Were any of you guys the "ring leaders" so to speak, any one outspoken or a little louder than the others personally been accepted?
Would be interesting to hear from a few of you...

In our case here in London, the quiet ones did not get through the first round and were all sent home after the first group activity. From 50, they cut down that number to 16!!! There was one guy from BA, who was a little outspoken (not necessarily a bad thing) and he made in the final 16 but not the final cut when they chose 9 out of the 16. Personally, I was the neutral guy!lol...made sure I listened to everyones perspective but at the same time putting my own ideas in to show that I could decide for myself rather than rely on others. In all honesty it seems to vary, for example, at Qantas, all the loud ones went through, EK - the calm and neutral ones!, whilst at BA I felt they went more on looks than anything else. Then again, thats just my opinion.
ps...the overspoken cocky type at EK were sent packing at the first eliminations.

Yeah, I was pretty Neutral/quiet, worked for me! Though I really don't think out spoken is a bad thing, as long as you don't come across as a jerk. Make your point, respect the opinions of others, that should be enough to get you through.

questions
hello guys...
i've finally got an invitation for the open to be held in my country this Sunday but i'm really worried about it. i don't have a clue about how it will be...
i'm also worried about the interview. you know here after the open day there's the interview. there's no global assessment like elsewhere.
i'm preparing the interview a bit in case in case everthing goes fine for me at the open day. could anyone who went through the final interview PM me some tips about the interview and the questions that are likely to be asked?
thanks a lot dudes...

i was like the group leader (if you would like to call it that)... i took control only because a few of the group members seemed to misunderstand the questions...but i did not take over in a way that made it impossible for anyone else to talk...the key thing i think is allowing other people to have their say and not putting anyone down just because you dont agree with what they are saying!

Ali Xander - If I told you I am a scouser, you would understand perfectly, right?

Totally understand the whole Scouser thing! All the way in Sydney as well!
I found it impossible not to get ahead of myself after my final interview! So I don't blame you for getting excited about it all! I am still waking up and dreaming about Emirates! Infact I was walking back a little earlier on from a meeting and an EK flight was going pass! Ofcourse being me, I just stood there watching it, eyes at the skies...no need to tell you that the passer's by thought that I'd gone mad!hehe.
