Thanks heaps, looking forward to joining all in UAE

The interview process was long and hard but fun. My advice to anyone wanting to join, just have fun on the day and make the most of it- I actually ended up enjoying it.

I hope you've got lotsa patience CyberKitty, I first applied beginning of August and only found out Yesterday. Whew what a wait (especially when u want something so badly) but it was worth it

There were 44 of us at the first interview which bubbled down to 8 in the end. They made us do group discussions (eg what challenges would u face living in Dubai)
When I first walked in there I thought that my chances were very slim coz half of the people there were already flying and it was my first ever F/A interview and everyone looked so immaculate. But as I said earlier, I ended up enjoyin the day and they obviously picked up on that.

Congratulations African sky,

Have fun in dubai. by the way, how old are you? I am 23... i failed my interv with emirates early this month. I have to wait another 6 months. I am afraid I might be a little too old ... I feel age is catching up on me...

African sky,

hey, i am just curious, what's the chances for those candidates who attended the second interview? is everyone sucessful? or majority?

thanks

Good luck for your interview Jewel, I'm sure you will be fine- just relax and smile

Don't worry about your age Blue Cheese, I am 26 in Jan (but still feel 18).
I'm not sure if all got through from the final interview. I keep in touch with 2 people, one has got through and is off to Dubai too, the other one has been waiting for 7 weeks and has still not heard anything (we heard after 4 weeks).

How long after the first flight can we choose our own routes??

Talking Hi Nick.....

Oh Nick, long time, no hear!@#$%^&* How are you mate? I am fine, had the BEST time with Jojo in MEL. As soon as we got in, Jason came over to the hotel with a bottle of red bollie. After that, we got changed and went out clubbing. Had mackers at around 7.30am, before finally hitting the sack at about 9. Had to get up at 12 for lunch at the Mitrys. Was really tired, and slightly hung over, but never-the-less, had a ball! G and myself flying together again in December. In Singapore for 2 days, arriving at 19.30 new years eve, then off the Sydney, then back to Singapore for 2 more days . Oh, this is the life.....

Please drop me a line and let me know how you are.

Pam XXX

P.s Sorry guys, this was totally off the topic, but these are the great layovers you have to look forward to in Emirates

Cool! I am soooooooo excited!!

I went for some of my medical yesterday- what a mission! They just don't know what is going on in the hospitals here in London. I had to take a day off work and it looks like I'm going to have to take off another couple (luckily I have an understanding manager). It is really expensive too (I'll end up paying about £400 for everything) and apparently they do not reimburse..
ah s--t!!!

Well at least I know I'll earn it back eventually

What did you have to pay the £400 for? Travelling expenses or for the medical?
