summed up in one word
 

the suffix of galley hags sign in identity sums her up, so don't listen to the rubbish she dishes out. She was banned from QF forum so guess she needs to divide her time now.

Leanne, I very much agree that knowing or befriending an important EK staff member would not secure a position, Afterall EK is one of the finest carriers in the world and does not do what Virgin Blue does, give merit for knowing someone.

However, I was offered the position before meeting the person in question.

Now galley hyag will probably get back to us all and say that the HR Director only travels EK etc......now I may have been dreaming then with the flight i took, coz it certainly was not EK.

Galley hag it is unfortunate that u did not make it to Dubai that u were rejected, and u have not the opportunity to make tax free dollars, I really am sad for u:{

GalleyHag & chinup - Please take your war of words off this thread and into PM's, or else your access to this thread andd forum will be restricted - and No, none of us know, or care, who started it.

Hey Guys,

Just keeping you all posted. I received an email a couple of days ago thanking me for my photos. I was then told i would hear within the next three weeks on my email.

Anyone else in the same boat. Did anyone else have to update their application with more recent photographs.

Interested?


:p :ok:

Great they received your photoes!! Another 3 weeks again :confused: they were suppose to call me 2 weeks ago and up till now nothing.. I guess with the death of sheick Zayed and the Eid holliday they have been closed a lot..

Hi!!!

I was talking to a girl who has flown for Emirates and Gulf Air and she was saying that the whole tax free salary etc doesn't really work out the way it sounds it would? It just sounds good on paper.

It wont be long now tho Elena. Remember that Dubai's weekend is Thursday and Friday. So we will hear this week from Monday the 22nd to Wednesday the 24th; or next week from Monday 27th to Monday the 29th of Nov. Monday the 29th marks the 6 week period since the call in which they stated that we would definently receive a ''Yes" or "No" Response. This is for Perth Australia candidates anyway. Anyways Keep on staying postive Elena. Remember for getting this far we are very special people.

8 :8 :8 :8

I've called Ek Offices yesterday to inquire about my application, as they would ahev had to call me 3 weeks ago.. Of course that did not help and i still haven't got an answer, but the lady said i will have it within 2-3 weeks.. God Help they will stick to that this time.. Meanwhile, I have a final interview with qatar Airways on the 10th of December (just in case Ek decides they don't want me) and i am very much under pressure as i have to get a deceision by then..

yes Lusky.. let's hope Ek will take me.. But unfortunatelly they take so much time to decide.. I've allready rejected an offer with Gulf Air because of Emirates and now don't wanna loose Qatar as well and end up with nothing if in the end Ek rejects me..
And as you most probably very well know , we non EU citizens , don't have too much choises as far as airline jobs are concerned..

I know Qatar or Gulf Air are not as great as Emirates , but in the end they are all airlines that are giving me the oportunity to do the job i so much want to do..
A year has passed since this EK game has started and right now i just know it will be stupid to throw away another opportunity in the hope that someday Emirates will remember my name. If this will happen nothing will make me happier, but i cannot put my life on hold and wait for them .. :{

Hello

Elena, check your PM

I know how you feel. This has been a nearly two year odyssey for me so far (although the hard stuff has all been this year since the first interview).

In the home stretch now. If anythiong goes wrong I have a backup plan. But after having the world dangled in my face for a year it's gonna be tough to find out I'm still stuck here when tehy pull it away - that's why I'm leaving anyway.

Hi there,
I went to the Ek open day in Melbourne at the start of this year and I was wondering what they did with our resumes considering they havn't come back yet. Does anyone have an idea if and when they will come back again?

Today was the day
 

This was supposed to be the day that i find out but so far I hjavent heard anything. Wats going on.

Mmmmm. Anxious and very excited and nervous too.

Hope i get it. Anyone else heard.

Yeah I've heard

Three weeks ago they email me saying they have ' forwarded the contract '. Now when I chase tdhem up because it still hasn't arrived they tell me they're still waiting for places to become available in training and they'll send it then.

Say what? Am I moving forward or still on hold? Which is it?

Sorry if I sound bitter but all you guys know how hard the wait has been. For me, I feel with all the stops, starts and false alarms that the wait has been considerably more stressful. Moreover the hassles show no sign of letting up.

All we can do is hang in there and hope...

Watiing time
 

Well at least you have heard
Have u done your medical yet?
We are still even waiting on a Yes or No and that has been since June
They wouldnt say u have it and the reneg on that
Emirates is a professional company.

Perthflyer101:ok:

No I haven't done the medicals. that comes after the contract is received. It's not like I've been impatient here. It's been nearly two years.

Now I see other people getting in - starting in late Dec or Early Feb. I'd give anything for that kind of certainty.

Don't worry Perth Flyer, everyone who's getting in now finished their interviews long after I did. By that rationale, you're almost certain to get the call soon (sooner than me at least)

Don't give up friends. We've come this far.

I got the call!!
 

Hi Guys..

Just wanted to let you know that Emirates called me yesterday to tell me i have been successful. I will be travelling to Dubai on the 3rd of February.

So, hang in there.. it won't be long till you'll get that call too.
Budgie, i am really sorry for what's happening to you..I really don't understand what 's Ek procedure with candidates in your situation.. It doesn't have any logic at all..Hope they'll give u joining date soon,. coz the wait for you it was way too long..

GO GO GO GO ELENA!!!!

You see....DREAMS DO COME TRUE! One day is your day!!!!

Good luck Elena, have a pleasant journey and enjoy Emirates as much as you can!!!


I knew you'll make it!

Hi Elena,

Just wanted to wish you the very best in your new career and life with emirates.

I am still waiting on an answer, where some of my friends have already received 'No' emails or got their call.
I am going crazt with anticipation.

Hopefully anyday now.

:ok:


So wats the process now. Wats involved in the medical. Have tyhey given u any instructions.

Thanks Perthflyer

Okay so they emailed the medical forms and I'm supposed to fill them in and fax them back. This involves visiting a doctor or two. get one who'll refer you to all the others (optometirst if necessary, hearing center and diagnostic lab.) In one two hour stint I visited the doc and gave a blood sample, another to get a chest X-ray and one a hearing center for the audiogram. Tomorrow I'll see a Dentist. All my results should be ready by Monday.

then you just fax them back and the coordinator said in a day or two they confirm. You can start preparing to leave and they'll send the contract no later than 30 days before your start date.

Basically though she said it's okay to resign from my job after the medicals have been approved at their end.

Budgie73, congratulations!!!!

Dreams do come true!! :D :D

Wish you all the best and enjoy your time at EK!

I hope EK aren't too strict on medicals? :rolleyes:

Good Luck


Lux

i just called them
 

I just called Emirates to let them know that i was still really keen on the position. They advised me that i would have to wait another 2 weeks for a response. They set hopefully by the end of December. Im staying positive tho.

Perthflyer
:)

Medicals
 

Wow, they really go thorugh a real medical! If I'm correct, once you arrive in Dubai you go through another one? But why do you have to see a Dentist? Just curious.

ek dentist
 

They make you go to a dentist because before you go to Dubai you need to have all dental work complete. So if you need fillings or whatever EK wants you to pay for it YOURSELF before you go, so they don't have to fork out for it in the dental plan later on.

Don't give up Perthflyer. You've come so far, so hang in there. I'm sure you'll hear something by the end of the year.

;)

Yeah I just forked out about US$300 to get some dental work done (HK is expensive!!!) but it's worth it, lol

EK Medicals
 

Good luck with the Medicals as they are very, very extensive. You basically spend one to two weeks running from doctor to doctor and to the dentist then off to get dental x-rays. This part of the process really tests your patients and durability as once you think you have sent all the information from a pool hall at 1am as thats the only place open to fax they will call and tell you that you are missing at least three iteams.

The Medicals are twice as hard as the interview itself so make sure you follow their instuctions very closely. And they will not tell you to resign until every last peice of information that they need is in front of them.

Good Luck

:O :O :O

Hi!!!!

I know Qantas used to make you provide a dental xray as part of your medical paperwork, this was so you were identifiable by your dental records in the event of an accident-this hasn't been the case in the last year or two?

Emirates
 

Can someone tell me if being an experienced Cabin Crew would make your chances better of being hired by Emirates.:D

Perthflyer

I am so sorry. That they have the nerves to keep you waiting for a 6 mth period and then no. Well, I am speechlees. :( It certainly must have been someone from their Head Office....to whom they recommend you....I hope you have more luck next time, as they start their campaign all over again. Apply if you really want it that much...

Look ...I got in with Adria Airways on my third occasion and I am not asshamed to say that. I tried and tried and wanted it very very much and finally got it. How many hours spent just wondering why not me, why somebody else???? You will never know, but you can show you're keen and determined and they will see it! Believe me!

I believe in you! Hold on!;)


Good Luck in the future....

L.:ok:
