thanks for the info
 
Dear OE

Thank you for info. I know it seems crazy to travel across the continent for this. I've been to an open day and have been invited to a prelim interview. Although I am a dark haired female, I'm not gay. Hopefully my skills and personality will be enough.

Take care Blu

Hermie 25th Nov 2003 22:31

There were a few chaps in front of me during the Open Day with Masters Degree etc...

My questions, how much of your educational qualifications play a part in getting through the interview or even landing a job ?

I'm comparing to, Diploma holders or GCE O Level holders...

Thanks !!

"they don't want the Qantas style gay stereo type..... as we know 99% of Qantas CC are this way"

Nothing like generalising eh?

crazysapphire 27th Nov 2003 00:49

hello ppl,

its been a while since i last saw this thread..hehehhe..

to onlyemirates,
u have given some pointers to us ..and i agree abt going all the way to Dubai just to sent out our CV..i was also thinking abt going there,but kept asking myself,'will being interviewed there guarantee me a position?'that really make me sat back and decide home is where i'll do my interviews..its also cheaper..hehehe...thank you very much for that,OE..

to babyblu,
once again , wish u best of luck and keep us posted...

to Hermie,
so far, even 'N'Level students manage to get thru ...i guess EK is looking for ppl who are able to interact with the public..good communication skills..I agree abt the Dip holders n graduates applying but trust me,most of them are snobbish n over confident..(from wat i saw n spoke to during the Open Day in singapore)

anyways,here's a silly question but i'm just curious,i know group sessions are usually the important part of the selection process and noted a point quoted by onlyemirates 'be yourselves'..in my previous selection interview,I met this girl who was actually very relaxed n composed,even hv a sense of humour,but was eliminated ..n she's being herself coz that's the way she is..she mentioned this to me and thought u guys are able to help me get an answer for her as ive explained the same exact words mentioned by OE..was it due to her nodding as a sign of approval each time when a teammember spoke??i(i knew this coz i was in her team)..

well,i would be very appreciated with all ur comments and pointers...


Cheers

(p.s. anyone knew wat happened to Craic1510??...its been awhile since she posted anything...wonder if she hv heard anything ....?)

skychick2003 27th Nov 2003 02:11

Wow, I can't understand anything you just wrote! May I suggest less text talk and a better standard of English.

Thanks

craig1510
 
i think crai1510 got through, check old posts.

if you be yourself and dont get through, your much more likely to not get through if you are not yourself.

Remember with these group discussions, it is a way for EK to eliminate and DISCRIMINATE.

EK have the weirdest hireing style of any world anywhere in the world. they say yes, when they mean no, they take on people after brief meeting when desperate, call people at 2.00 a.m to confirm placement in training, send you notices that you have not got to shortlist, then ask you to be called to interview a week later, ask you be called to an interview and say they will write a confirmation note, coming from Dubai, and nothing sent, say they will send all CV's back to Dubai, when in actual fact rumours have it that often they burn the lot. They discriminate like crazy, then when the authorities look closer at their interviewing style, employ people that are totally what they don't normally take, just to prove authorities wrong. They like high standards yet the recruiters can't answer simple questions. Sometimes u wonder. also stories of Cvs turning up everywhere and a simple number they list on the cv goes astray etc........

Emirates
 
Hey All..

Onlyemirates I must say that I do actually agree with alot of what you are saying. Sad but true... I guess when you are that powerful what you do to people doesnt matter, as is the case with Emirates.

To all of you out there keep on trying, I guess for those who are focused on Emirates maybe think about expanding the airlines you are applying for (all 3 of them :rolleyes: ).....

Last question to onlyemirates, are you currently working for EK. You seem to know some interesting recruiting facts????

Cheers all

Hi Only Emirates and anyone "In the know"....
Does anyone know what happens to your file after it has been sent to management to be approved and you were unsucessful?
Before I went along to the Nov open day in Sydney it had only been 7 mths since my final interview & file being sent to Senior Management when they ask you to wait 12. I called the recruitment office to ask if it would be detrimental to me gaining employment and I was given a very cryptic answer "I can't advise you what to do but go along if you like and try your luck...perhaps we will see you in Dubai"
I did go along and wasn't even called back for a group interview when my resume & look was on Par or even better than those that did. Do you think they check the shortlist on a database to see if you have already applied?? I called the Results Centre and they seemed to think this was the reason...What do you think?
Also does anyone know what they do with your file after the 12 mths is up? Is it completely deleted or what??
If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated... Most of my friends have gotten through and it is doing my head in!!!
Good luck everyone....

as for emirates - yeah i did get through the interviews and now four weeks is up. they said to ring after four weeks so i will this week and keep you all posted if i get the job! I just went ahead with easyjet training - simply because if i don't get the ek job - i still have work. easyjet are a great airline - so if anyone wants a job in the near future even just to get experience join them! They are heaps of fun.

Emirates-Cabin Crew
 
Hello All...

Am keen on joining Emirates as a Cabin Crew. Can someone out there tell me more about this company, i.e the pay,living conditions in Dubai, pro motion wise and also the list of Station where they have a stop over for the crew....maybe including the stop over period as well.

Any info will be much appreciated.

Thanx and happy reading.

PaulE 7th Dec 2003 06:57

Hi there everyone,

Well its been a long time since I have posted anything. So here goes.......


I attended the Birmingham Open Day (about 120 pax total) on the 15th Nov - arrived 09.00 hand in resumes, sat down watch EK video and then had a Q's and Answers time. Shortly after than Danielle and Sarah advised that "due to the large numbers..... we cant interview you all.... those who are successful in this round will be contact by 19:00 today.."

I really didnt think I had made an impact - I asked a direct, yet informed question about the companies future, where they are heading etc. - unlike some people asking about maternity leave, bringing over partners to live with etc!!! I know for a fact these people didnt make it through - lack of company research.

I smiled and conformed to all the right body language.... althought I didnt feel this was returned or recepricated, assuming then I DIDNT MAKE IT THROUGH - so as all Aussie's I headed to the PUB with a fantastic girl I met there (Hazel - if your on msg me) THEN, about 20 mins into our drive to a local.... my phone rang..... It was Sarah from Emirates asking me if I could attend an interview tomorrow.

Sadly, I could not - mostly because I had come up from London that morning (05.00am train) no accommodation, working the next day etc - although she said this was no problem - she said thats fine and told me to keep the Sat29/Sun30th NOV free for an interview at Heathrow - "I will call you back with the specifics" EXCELLLENT!

Time marched on.. still no call back. Come the Tuesday before the interview (on Sat/Sun) - still nothing. I decided to send an email.... I was at that point into my 3rd day of a first aid training course - and constatly "going to the bathroom" to check my phone! Then, I received an phone message saying... "sorry Paul, all places are full for the LHR interviews?!?!... may we please see you in the new year JAN.... we are still very interested.... appologies etc"

I wasnt over the moon, but happy for "the call" nonetheless. Then later that night I received an email with a repeat of the earlier phone mesage. Although, this time she told me the specifics of the interview...... very strange. I opted not to go and wait for my official invitation for the new year - I decided to play this by the books and the old excuse of "didnt receive your message" never washes with me at the best of times.
And alas, here I am.... at work, typing this to you all.....

Firstly - TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHO HELPED ME GET THIS FAR - A big THANK YOU!!! You know who you are :)

Secondly, if anyone attended the Birmingham Open day - please get in touch.. from what I can gather, hardly anyone got "the call" which is a little sad, because there were sooo many great people there.

Also, is anyone else in the same boat as me? If so please get in touch. Does anyone know anything about LHR (Heathrow) interviews in the new year - expected in JAN???

Lastly, I think this board is an EXCELLENT SOURCE to all people out there - both in the Job and hopefulls like myself!! SO KEEP IT UP PEOPLE..

PS - I couldnt agree more with the "live abroad for Emirates" I have been living in the UK for 1.5 years now - originally from SYD and I REALLY do think this helps. Now I've said that lets just hope it pays off in the interview - like many of you out there - I REALLY WANT THIS JOB. I will be utterly crushed if things go pear shaped.

Take care everyone - and keep on posting

If EK was really interested in u, they would have made you attend NOv not Jan. Often EK does this to postpone and then kind of "rub-off" people, it is harsh but fact, refer to poor people attending other Opening Days in Australia and u will find that EK play with people often to test. From your story, it seems u r probably, quite young, perhaps 21 or below and had what they wanted in presentation, then realised your age, working it out from schooling finishing dates on CV or if you had your D.O.B on CV and decided to not take you on. Other scenario u had great presentation, what they feel looks like the EK image, yet u had a crappy message on your mobile phone and decided to change their thought and reject u. This happens often! Or you did not abide by EK instructions and EK are strict with this until you have had your final whereby miracles happen.
The questions u ask at questions and answer sessions have absolutely nothing to do with why u were called, they do not mark with hundreds of CVs to look through. Often they just call people at random and see their response. Another way they get rid of people and short-list, if they called u and u did not sound professional or that interested.

good luck though

Onlyemirates,

You seem to have an answer for every situation that arises in regards to Emirates. Once again I'd like to know if you work for Emirates. I guess if you do it would make sense, but if not where do you get your information from? I just think people would appreciate your comments if they were aware of your background..

RaverFlaver 7th Dec 2003 13:29

Hello all,

I have been reading this thread and have read some interesting posts.

Onlyemirates - I am curious to know your source for the large amount of information you provide, have you worked for EK, or do you work for EK, or have you been to multiple interviews and are simply expressing your personal opinion about the company?
I' m in no way attempting to cause any heated discussion, as I think your comments are valuable however just want to validate them a little more for my own clarity.

All information from everyone has been much appreciated, and I look forward to reading more.

Thanks everyone,
Raver:D

PaulE 7th Dec 2003 20:12

Dear onlyemirates,

I thank you for your comments and appreciate your constructive feedback.

I'm turning 23 this month (Dec) and I do have a solid background in customer service and one of the highest levels of training within the hospitality sector.
So the only reason I can assume that this is happening is because I was declined 'online' earlier this year. However, I attended an open day (within the 6month period) as I KNEW if they saw me in person I COULD SELL MYSELF - which looks to have worked. From the discussions I have had with other pruners it seems that they have cross referenced their database and have stalled my application. In my opinion - never apply online it does not give a true account of who you are!! Wait for the open day. Be patient, I wasn't and lost out by the sounds of it.

Honestly, I find the whole process of airline recruitment, especially Emirates quite frustrating and at time over the top.
My flatmate said one night that "if you don’t fit the mould then you just won’t get it.. end of section" I know people who have walked into these "interviews" with degrees as long as your arm, massive amounts of experience within some of the finest hotels, restaurants, bar etc across the world. Then at the end of the day - their hair colour isn’t right or they were having a bad skin day - boom "thanks but no thanks"

Honestly, I think we are all aware of what it takes to become a member of airline cabin crew - determination, drive and a passion for the industry. Not to forget that one person giving you the call or chance to excel.

I really think Emirates are the ones losing out here - they keep rejecting all these people who actually want the job. Then they take on board all those people who "play the game" etc during the interview and then end up leaving without completing their 3 year contract - due to "personal reasons" or because they simply get home sick or maybe even realise this is something they don’t want to do. We all are aware that they are short of staff at the moment and I know 4 people who have left in the past 3 months!

There are countless people on this board who simply want the job. So 'only emirates' if you do work for Emirates or within the Emirates recruitment process please take note of my comments and the other countless comments by other pruners WHO WANT TO WORK FOR YOU! Much like raverflyer I don’t want this to turn into a heated discussion. However, at the end of the day - who is right for your airline? Obviously not gay, fat, too dominant, too passive, short, too tall, people over 30, too blonde, not blonde enough??????? Think outside the box, please.

My message to all pruners out there - IF Emirates are not willing to give you a shot at your dream as Cabin crew and this is something YOU WANT TO DO - Look elsewhere. I have made a post "Oz passport = which airlines????" and will update a listing there shortly for all of you out there who, like me are in a similar situation. Don’t despair there are other companies out there who will want you for who you are, not for what they want you to be or how they expect you to act.

Take care everyone and please keep posting!

SydGirl 8th Dec 2003 04:35

PaulE,

I think your comments are a little unfair. You are making a lot of assumptions about the airline, based on no fact other than a fellow ppruner's comments here.

Emirates is a global airline. They have tens of thousands of people apply to them every year. They send recruiting teams all over the world to meet and interview potential candidates. Of course they are going to have a database of their applicants, they'd be STUPID if they didn't, people would slip through that have been previously rejected for whatever reason (small or otherwise).

If Emirates have a "look" or a "mould" they want their FAs to fit into then that is their perogative. In fact, so does every other airline in the world! Why should they think "outside the box" when they have so many quality applicants to select from. They select who in their opinion will be the best for the job. This opinion may of course differ from your own.

Yes, airline interviews are a game, just like everything else... if you want it then you have to play the game well. It's not fair to throw everyone into the same basket and assume these people will leave before the end of their 3 year contract is up - a friend of mine has been with Emirates close to 8 years now, and is perfectly happy to stay. Like every other job interview, do your research, know your product, behave and dress appropriately. It's not a difficult concept.

PaulE if you don't end up being successful for Emirates do not lose heart. Think positively and remember it is "their loss" - work on improving yourself, making yourself even better and continue applying elsewhere. If you are successful then maybe you'll realise that you really do know how to play the game after all. ;)

Best of Luck
SG

PaulE 8th Dec 2003 04:56

Thanks Sydgirl,

Re-reading, I really should of censored it - However, I was just a little annoyed at some comments by other pruners. I know its a hard game to play and possibly at times an unfair game. But when you know you have a very good product and the sake of a "few months" to wait - it IS very frustrating.

Good to see another Sydneysider on here :D Again thanks for all your positive feedback - as usual :)

PS - As you know its very hard for Aussie cabin crew to find a reputable airline - esp long haul. I know when I come back from England and Europe the options are very limited.

Although I will keep applying!

paule

onlyemirates 8th Dec 2003 08:21

Re: Paul E, Syd Girl etc...
 
Paul E, now that explains it! Yes of course u have been rejected cos of applying on line and not being short-listed, then turning up to an Opening Day when u should know not to turn up within 6 months unhless u made it through to final therefore 1 year. By teasing the system and trying to slip through, u may have been black-listed, I can't guarantee, but if I had 100 applicants that I declined to employ and told them to get back to me in 6 months and that was the only way to continue to succeed to the airline, and 2 of those 100 tried to slip through at O.D.... what do u think will be put on your file in Dubai????? Presentable too determined, tried to slip through, how do we know he won't try and slip a friend through in a hotel room and have a party during lay over, how do we know he won't steal a bottle of champagne from J class and take home with him etc........
Syd girl is right.... u don't perhaps fit heir mold, but others do and love the job and stayed well beyond the 3 yr contract, EK actually hopes that you fulfil 2 contracts 6 yrs..... but average is 4 yrs,,, one contract and completing b4 end of next.

Read syd girls final comments, very valid

Paul E... u mention friends have a solid background in Hospitality and u have strong Customer Service... how do u know that EK does not want Brick layers, fire-fighters, Nurses, solicitors, Dentists???? funny as it sounds, these people have not been moulded the way u perhaps have. Working for top hotels and resorts often are a negative, as u have been showed the way of the hotel/resorts style. A nurse will only know things about hospital and carting for patients, but not serving of F&B etc.... they may well prefer this, I know for a fact that moulded people are in a ways outsiders.

How do u know that I am not a recruiter for EK and I toy with ppl on forums to see who has attitude and who does not. i tell u something I would be able to eliminate so fast that you would be mind boggled. Yet on the other hand I have noted some sensations and people that r up-lifting and really helping others and even when they did not get through passed on info to others and supported them, do u think i would not go to their file and trype "hire in 6 months, upon positive presentation".

Think about it!

PaulE 8th Dec 2003 09:59

Dear onlyemirates, Sydgirl and crew.

Thank you.

Every single point you bought up is valid and I do understand where you are coming from, now. However, the only reason why I attended the open day was because I had heard nothing from Emirates re: online application and then literally days prior to the O.D I received the email "thanks but no thanks" and I put it down to photo's I submitted on the online application.

Maybe it is a fault or flaw within my character to want something so much that I will travel half way across the country for it. Booking train tickets, cabs, bus tickets, taking unpaid time off work, getting my shifts covered, haircut etc to get me there and then having to cancel them all last minute?? Te me didn’t make sense, especially when I don’t have ££££ to throw around town - as we all know London is NOT the cheapest city in the world.
I saw it as a last ditch attempt to "go for it". As they say miracles can happen. Something within me just knew I was going to get that call. Sounds weird but I always follow my gut instincts.... and I went for it. I follow the belief of "expect nothing and anything you receive is really a bonus."

"... how do u know that EK does not want Brick layers, fire-fighters, Nurses, solicitors, Dentists????" I don’t know. No one knows this except for those people who are in the know. My point I was trying to convey was that they state people must have a customer service background...what is deemed a customer service background? Without bringing in the endless stalks of preconceived notions of "customer service"

"How do u know that I am not a recruiter for EK and I toy with ppl on forums to see who has attitude and who does not."
Again I don’t know this because your identity has remained within the shadows. However, this time I threw the bait and you lunged for it. Be it me sacrificing my Emirates career for the sake of everyone finding out - is something I might have already done?! And I can only hope that people will be able to confirm the information they are receiving is correct, accurate and coming from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. Regardless of who you are I know for a fact that your information has proved priceless. One can only see that this post is still getting hits and countless messages that keep appearing and regardless of your identity - I’m sure people like me quietly do thank you for this!

So either which way I will wait, take some time out, obviously reassess the situation and if the time is right - reapply.

Take care all and keep on posting people!

The Emirates Thread...
 
Hi All....


This Emirates thread would have to go down as one of the all time favourites.. Between, EK Staff, Applicants, Annoyed people and "Mysterious Individuals", there is a wealth of information....

Onlyemirates I will not ask who you are again, coz obviously you are choosing not to state who you work for, for personal reasons...

I must say very interesting facts about firefighters, bricklayers etc.... In March 2003 a friend of mine attended the EK interviews in Melbourne and in her session there was a Bricklayer and Carpenter both arabic back ground... They actually got through and are now flying for Emirates... At the end of the day, it does not matter what your background is because the job of a FA can be taught.

Interesting information all round....

Ciao Guys....

onlyemirates 8th Dec 2003 11:07

update
 
o.k Paul, glad u have seen your faults, work on them and perhaps next time. If u are overly ambitious, it will show in your first group session within the O.D process anyways. People that desperately want to work for the airlines are at times runninga way from other problems, this gives them a great "tunnel". As I have stated natuaral ppl get through overly ambitious ones, don't ane if they do they won't last long and they are the ones resigning and not completing the 3 yr contract, like your friends u mentioned b4.

I'd hate to say it, the most successful ppl with EK r the ones least expected, that is why the Brickies and carpenters etc.... they are generally happy within themselves and shows. EK recently hired a chap that came into O.D bruised, bleeding, had bandages everywhere a real mess, but the chap was such a a sweetheart, got right through a nd was hired, he is one of the most loved CC. Down 2 Earth, and took ages to fix him up in Deportment but the potential was their and NO ATTITUDE. I notice an attitude in your manor and HR senses that. With time u will settle, and know what u really want

One pointer 4 u!

U have not been too bright with your postings, and your identity is far too real. U have mentioned Paul E from Sydney living in London, 23 yrs of age etc.....now comments that are offensive to airlines etc......can be traced and logged in thedata file. However, I made a mistake a couple of weeks ago, in testing someone, that i thought was fabricating something, i was right at the end, got a personal msg in my inbox.........but u c, noone knows so they can't go to any file and say.... She said something, terminate her......!!! know what I mean? incidentally the comment I made was re: age...... the lower end limit stays the same I stick by that and no change, the upper end has changed, at first we thought it was just to stop the anti-discrimimation in certain countries, but EK has lifted it's age like Gulf and I am told that the age limit now is at 34, but don't take my word for it, that needs to come from Head Office

happy postings!

Syd... Mel......candidates, one hinter....... if u have ridiculous messages on your mobile phone or home, change it..... soon u will hear if you have been successful to 1st day etc....if u have not heard already, and check those e-mails

good luck!

Onlyemirates,

After your comment below:

"How do u know that I am not a recruiter for EK and I toy with ppl on forums to see who has attitude and who does not. i tell u something I would be able to eliminate so fast that you would be mind boggled. Yet on the other hand I have noted some sensations and people that r up-lifting and really helping others and even when they did not get through passed on info to others and supported them, do u think i would not go to their file and trype "hire in 6 months, upon positive presentation".

To be honest, I found it funny that a company, especially EK would, judging by your comment above and other remarks I'm assuming, employ and pay someone to sit online for most or part of their day emailing on an aviation forum...........because that's what it sounds like your making your occupation out to be.........for what benefit to EK, purely to try and match up chatters chat names with info they have on here while trying to piece together their background in the event that you may happen to stumble across it throught the 1000's of applications that EK get, simply to wrtie on their file, was not strong enough in chat room, or didn't share information to fellow ppruners about recrutiment. So if you do work for EK, I would be concerned that you don't have something better to do than simply chatting on here making out that you have some sort of authority with EK CC recruitment.

Seriously, and to state quite boldly that the company does discriminate, to the detail that you have openly listed, I'm sure is not the image that Emirates would want you to be portraying to the hundreds of people registered on here and viewing this information. It would make for quite a lovley lawsuit against EK in somewhere like the UK, U.S.A or Australia.
Futhermore if you are or were an employee of EK making these admissions on here and I was your manager, I would have you fired......it would be interesting to show the EK Public Relations department your posts revealing the very unprofessional and disriminatory ways of their recruitment and see their response.....

I think the info you have provided too is very standard and general information about EK that most people know and assume anyway.

So, having said that, once again I don't know your position or even if you have one, but keep your eye out for me at the EK interviews.........my call sign is venus400, and oh.....I will be the male or female from the UK wearing a suit! Hopefuly you figure out who I am and can make a note and put it on the EK database about my doubtfulness of your authority within EK CC recruitment.

Cheers,

Venus

Don't know why u assume, when I have never stated that I work for EK, I'm monitoring EK for other reasons. Yes, u r right, how would one be able to match up all applicants via forums.... virtually imposibble, but in some instances quite easy and that is why I referred to someone using his own identity to not.
Again u r right, be stupid of EK to pay someone and waste their time to follow chat rooms for recruitment, but if I may say, I run 4 businesses, all doing swell, my new "baby" to do with why I am temporarily looking at these forums has taken off as well and in a way I am employed by EK, cos if it was not for EK I would not be viewing these chat rooms and getting paid for it.
Good luck with your London interview, with a chip on your shoulder and an attention seeker, u won't get through the 2nd group discussion.
AS for discrimination, yes I mentioned that and it is true and everybody knows that, so nobody would be able to take anyone to court as we have evidence left right and centre.
Again, good luck Uranus 400,oops I mean Venus 400

onlyemirates,

After your last posting, in my opinion your credibility level dropped to below zero.


PaulE,

Best of luck to you, let us know how you get on!

OzzieO 10th Dec 2003 16:56

wow SF that was a bit harsh wasn't it? I don't know who onlyemirates is but he/she is entitled to their opinion just as you or I are.

Think we all need to take a deep breath here and CALM DOWN!!!

SocialFlyer 11th Dec 2003 03:26

Cheers..

emirates: manchester open day.
 
HI

Attended emirates open day in manchester on the 9th nov. So far i have not been contacted. I sent the recruitment team in London an email but have had no reply. Anyone in this similar situation. Does anyone know how long it will take. Has anyone who attended the manchester open day been contacted yet.

plz let me know.

SydGirl 11th Dec 2003 05:42

onlyemirates,

What upset me in your previous post is this..

Good luck with your London interview, with a chip on your shoulder and an attention seeker, u won't get through the 2nd group discussion

That is not a very nice thing to say. You do not even know the person to whom you are referring, yet you are quite happy to insult them! I think that comment is rude and ignorant, despite the fact you may have added some valuable comments previously; the above statement removed all credibility.

I personally have no desire to fly for EK, however am quite happy to encourage and support others as they go through the process. I don't think that is a lot to ask, airline interviews are already the cause of much stress - and the support of those who have been there done that is most invaluable. Sorry if you disagree.

My 2 cents.

Dear SydGirl,

Your words are utter wisdom! End of section. Thats all Im going to say on this matter.

Thank you again SG for my words of engouragement - I have my PRELIM INTERVIEW NEXT MONTH - for all of you who did NOT THINK I was "interesting" or valuable for EK!! I have been called back for the the upcoming interviews. I wish everyone and ANYONE the same! As we are all here for a positive purpose, lets ignore the plight of ignorance and continue on our way of help and supporting ANYONE and EVERYONE on this channel.

Take care all and KEEP ON POSTING!

Flying_Sarah747 11th Dec 2003 10:27

Sorry, I know we should be positive here, and stop this childish ranting, and I usually NEVER post negative posts, but I just have to say this.

Onlyemirates, for your information, the only wanna be crew here seems to be you!!!!! A lot of us are cabin crew, or training to be cabin crew! YOU'VE got the chip on your shoulder and are giving Emirates a bad name!

Enough said. GOOD LUCK to EVERYBODY who's applied, interviewed gone to open days etc. If you keep trying it WILL happen, and NEVER be put of by what ANYBODY has to say! :)

flyblue 11th Dec 2003 14:20

What if from now on we start discussing the topic ONLY and stop the personal stuff???
Thanks

touchy crowd here
 
Interesting that of the 3 people I escorted to the Melb O.D, all got phone calls from DXB yesterday and the day b4 due to one key factor.... and they have skipped the prelim and will go straight to Interv.
Interesting of the 2 people i escorted to Syd O.D, I called for prelim ( don't know why should have got straight to Interv, and the other got called last night.
I'm not a wannabie I'm a makabie. Have made many ppl happy.
To the dozens of private help requests, I'm sorry I can no longer help. Contracted til only the last Syd girl got through and she has so I'm off.
No more from me, good luck to u all
Their are MANY key factors, quite simple to get into EK not difficult at all, u have to find them out, if know them, u r virtually guaranteed a contract. Some ppl on this forum get close to it, but not in the know, others just so confused.

Asta la vista!

To the 13 I've got through see u in DXB, and take sun lotion, u will need it!!!
