Yes, you do not need to inform them that you have received your medicals but I did, just so that in my head I know I am keeping in contact with them and they know what I am doing. Have you signed and faxed/emailed off the contract yet to them? You can just mention it if you are emailed back to contract that you have received the medical forms. Alternatively, just email them saying you have received the forms and that you will endeavour to complete them as soon as possible.

Good Luck

Lightbulb confused....

Is it the Declation (page 8 of the contract)? So i'll just print it and signed then send it through fax, is that what you mean?

Hi Everybody!

I am so sad.... I recived an invitation fot intervew but I had no chance to come. Actually I am flighting with business jet in my country. So I was flighting at that time....It was at the end of October. But one girl called me and asked about confirmation ... will I come or no.... I explained to her situation and she promissed to write me or call... But no answer from them. I wrote letter to them. Again nothing. What should I do? Forget?
Thanks for advice.

Yes Honey Catchy, just sign that one made, either scan it and email it off or fax it off. I faxed it off to Emirates and after I did that I immediately emailed EK and told them that I accept the offer and that I have faxed it off to them and also mentioned about getting my medicals done and sent to them as soon as I can. Hope that helps.

syd open day

HI everyone!

I’m considering (not to sure yet) about heading to Sydney for the Emirates open day on Dec 9.
I was invited to one in Brisbane, but unfortunately I was eliminated at the last Brisbane open day and its only been 5 months, so that is why Sydney is a possible option.

I’m really apprehensive about going though! This is something I want so badly! Lol. About 300 people turned up to the Brisbane open day in June, and it blew me away – should I expect the same or possible more in Sydney? If anyone that’s been to a Sydney open day could let me know that would be great. And anyone who is going – good luck! I would love to hear form you!

Thanks in advance!

GAD, Frankfurt Germany

Hi,

I am new to this forum and I would like to share my experience with you during the Assessment day of Emirates in Frankfurt on 18 november!

Preliminary selection was done by MT-Global-Experts on 10 november 2007 (Open Day)

We were 62 invited for the assessment day!
2 Ladys from emirates arrived (Elisa from Turkey and Christine from New Zealand) and told us that we will start soon!

At first they were checking the names invited and if everybody is attending but some were still missing!

We watched the video about Emirates and asked several questions. After this we were divided into 4 Groups. My Group was the last one and our topic was "Planet earth is detroyed and we should take 5 professionals to re-build our earth and we should give it a new name in 7 minutes". Before this we had to introduce our neighbour to the others and to do the reach test! After this round I was not successful although I was not too active and not tooo quite!! Soo many nice people failed, really, I could not imagine that!!!!! When I arrived and I saw them i was really thinking that they will do it! They chose really bad ones! I am sorry for that but really! Some were very gaunty, some too fat and the others had really bad teeth and were not attractive! And some within my group were sooo active and they brought up themselves too much and they were successful!! It was a bad experience I did with Emirates! The selection process of Lufthansa is much better than this one! Lufthansa looks at your qualifications, your skills and you also have to undergo a role play as cabin crew dealing with a difficult passenger! And see there: I was successful and I will start on 3 January as Cabin Crew with the best european airlines (Modell A = Continental and Intercontinental Flights)!!!! The question I was asked during the reach test was "Hi, how are you doing and how did you travel to here!!!" What is this for a question????? I really would have answered that I asked Harry Potter to borrow me his besom to fly to this place:-))))
Good luck to th eothers who wanna join Emirates and don`t forget Harry`s besom to fly there:-)))))

first off, why did you apply with emirates if you already had a job with the "best european airline?"

secondly, when you did youre reach test, they ask a simple question like that, just to see how you respond to such a casual question. its a good way to see someones personality, right off the bat.

sorry you didnt get accepted, but emirates has a specific quality that they look for in a cabin crew member, and obviously you dont have it.

good luck with lufthansa, tho.

Hi,

fisrt of all Mister or Miss please don`t tell me that I don`t have qualities for the position of cabin crew!This is a forum for anybody and don`t bring up yourself as were such a great personality that Emirates will may be hire you! I applied as Cabin Crew with Emirates only because of the multinational crew! It seemed to be very exciting! Emirate is of course a great airline but only because of lots of help of the government in Dubai which is not allowed in Europe because of competition, hehehe but the recruitment process was a little bit silly (in my opinion)! And please, I answered this question in a really nice way! I work in direct contact with customers and so on..... However it doesn`t matter! If you check several airline news you will see that Lufthansa is the best european airline! Good luck to you and please don`t come back from Dubai (if Emirates is really hiring you) telling that arabic life style is nothing for you honey

Peace

Besom

Now Now Children - Not that it has ANYTHING to do with EK (Although technically it does kinda relate to flying) a besom is the correct name given to what we who CLAIM to speak English as a first language, call a "broom stick"

It's actually a broom, especially one made from twigs or brush... having never seen or read Harry Potter - I don't know if this is actually what he flew on, but then, I dont imagine anyone went to their interview on one either so huh...

Who'd have thunk it!

you would find that us who speak English as a first lingo would never use besom when referring to a broomstick. Personally that would come from someone who does not speak English as their first language. Maybe you should try reading Harry Potter my lovely friend JonJon. We can discuss this in more depth should you feel the need to on msn as let's face it, you just can't seem to go on a day without talking to me. Mwah

Hey Jonjonsyd

Where have you been hiding lately??...

Guys - one word of advice. Don't let the numbers fool you, because it's noticable when your mouth drops to the floor.
I've been through the process twice & yes I noticed about 200 or more people turning up on the open day.
Just remember to make your way to the front of the crowd ready to enter those doors, because then you get to go in first while the others will have to wait around for the 2nd half of the session - as they can't fit in all of you!
I made it twice through to the final one-on-one interview but unfortunately was unsuccessful. Do you think that's going to stop me??!!.. Guess again, I'm going to try my luck again hoping I make it as far as I did last time. I think it's more nerve wrecking knowing I've done this before because more is expected of me (if that makes sense).

So anyway, who here is going to the Melbourne session??

John - don't sweat it. You'll be fine. But message me if need be!

Good luck guys

Hello everyone,

Seven weeks have passed since I arrived to DXB. Training was not easy but I am finally flying. Had my first supy flights to India and Pakistan and right now I am getting ready for my second operational flight (BKK and HKG) and then ZRH.

I really wish you all the best. I am having the time of my life!

It took them just over a week to get back to be with final approvals. I would have thought that they would take longer as I am sure there are loads more people travelling out there before me. Good Luck, I am sure it'll be fine though.
