Don`t feel so bad about it, 6 months will go by fast. I agree with Dilvinay, sometimes is a matter of luck (specially during OD where 100s of people apply). Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

You keep trying, DONT GIVE UP!

Fly Rules:ok:

to all
 

i have questions to those who already got call from EK and proceed to medical and more tedious paperworks.
what entry permit are they refering to? i didn't receive mine with the email. Flyrules, we are not talking about the entry permit we filled in during final interview.
what ID and badge form ? i didn't receive such forms.
lastly, do you email them the whole 10 pages of acceptance of offer after you signed or only the page 8....
pls help.
thanks

For next OD
 

Hi Jess

I read your posts and was very sad to hear that you did not make it through, even if you would have travelled to malaysia for those interviews. I am flying for Ek and it took me 2 open Day to make it! But from the first i learned! It was also during the fisrt group discussion! If you have talked too much, than it was the reason why you were dismissed!!!! Because in that discussion only those are taken over to the next round who don`t talk too much!! I don`t know why but you can believe me! I remembera girl, whih was also with me at the 2nd OD and when i told her not to talk too much during the fisrt round she did not want to belive me, but as we were both arabs, she finally did and we both made it through and all, really, all who talked that much were all sent back home!!! Keep this advice only for your info and do not let it everybody know, may be everyone will tell it to anybody and EK will change these things!!!! Kep it for yourself! I only advice severel people with this behaviour during this discussion and i also did it to you to help you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Good luck and keep fighting Girl!!!

Best regards!!!!!!1

bit though to keep the advice for yourself if you post it on a public forum :rolleyes:

i think you misread my forum. Of course, I made it through, why would i asked those questions if I didn't make it ??????
maybe you can help me with those questions. thanks.

Jessmin,

Did you get my email? I will definatelly email you those missing forms (if I get them in my package). I was told by EK that there are some forms to be completed online (EK recruitment website). Have you done it yet? What was it all about?

Fly Rules:ok:

Flyrules
 

hey, yes, you have to fill in the online joiner which can be found on the ek web. however, you can only do that after you receive email from them cos' you need your confirmation to access to the online joiner. you should receive your email tomorrow...

flyrules!
 

congratulations! you must be feeling great! mmm i envy you! :)

Hi Alya!
All kind of certificates that You have (about Your education and work).
Application form signed and dated from the online registration,just print it. CV also .

My OD was succesfull.Next Day I had my final interview . It was almost one month ago.

It was serprising for me that You had recgnized this poem.
You are from Istanbul, You speak English and may be some gut russian...
What is Your nationality:).... I can only imagine how many people of different nationalities visit this forum...and how many languages do they speak....;) This is amazing....This second wannabes thread exists may be one week and there are 2000 visitors alredy....

jess.s
 

Just don`t give up. In 6 month You can try again, and the expirience that You `ve got will help You. My first OD was also a very big and helpfull expirience for me. Good Luck.

Flyrules
 

Wow ,it is great....! Cogratulations!!!
As I have already said , I can only emagine how do You feel right now.
Now You have to make Your medicals and in 2,5 month You fly away to Dubai.:ok:

Yay, well I have just got through to the final one on one interview with EK... I went to the recruitment day in Brisvegas... I think about 40 or more of us were retained for one-on-one interviewing, so I have some q's if you all don't mind...

1. What will I be asked in the final interview?
2. How many of us will be hired out of 40 do you anticipate?
3. This is my most pressing q - I cannot start for 2 and a half months. Is this going to be seen as me 'not being committed to the job' ? Will it go against me?

Thank y'all!!!

SHFG

Thank you!
 

Dilvinay/InLoveWithEmirates,

Thank you both for such sweet words. I am rather excited! I already made all appointments to start with the 1000000 medicals on monday!

I will keep you all posted on the progress.

Fly Rules!:ok:

hello inlovewith emirates!
 

well i don't know if i can give some personal or private details here but please someone let me know if i am wrong! i won't do it again!
ok i am T,was born in Germany/munchen and was also grown up there. i studied russian language and literature so it is quite normal for me to know pushkin (can never forget- yevgeniy onegin :)).i have been in england for sometime so as a matter of fact i can speak 4 languages.i am not from istanbul i am from Agean see from izmir it is in turkey as well!
as i understood you are german aren't you?
the thing that makes me upset here i think i am the only T interested in this forum. i wish other T people could be interested in here. because i am addicted and it is perfect!so i think!
soo it comes to the reason i am here i have 4 days to go!

1. Evrything about your current job or study. Different situations. Actually You cant`t prapare any answers for the final interview. If You speak good English, this is enough....Try not to be very nerves and just be yourself.
2. Nobody can´t answer this quastion. May be nobody, may be some of them....it depends on...? ;) I really don`t know.
3. You have to say it when You have Your final interview. But actually , after the final interview You have to wait for the answer from EK..it usually takes some time till they proove You. May be one months,may be 2 may be 3....
As I have read in this forum one girl has got her approvement after 6 month.

Flyrules
 

I still didn`t get any call or E-mail from EK. I calld them 4 days ago, I just wanted to be sure if they had got my documents. I was told that they would contact me. I worry so much.

You have 2 month before You moove to Dubai. But why in September? 2 month for medicals? Or was it Your persenal ask? :) The most important You have done , I am just wondering why not in August.

InLoveWithEmirates
 

When I recieved the call on saturday morning, I was told all training classes for august are full. She asked me to complete all medicals, scan them and email them along with all forms as soon as possible. She basically gave me no other options but september 14th. She also asked me what city I was flying out of and whether or not I hold a valid US visa to travel via JFK (which I do).

When I filled out the application form, I told them I as available right away. However, in my case, there are lots of things I need to take care of before moving to Dubai (bank accounts, credit cards, etc), so I reckon 2 months is just enough time for me to put it all together. I currently have a management position with a major airline (AA) and I dont want to just walk away on them, specially since my boss has been my biggest fan through out this EK process. She supports me 100%.

I stayed in touch with couple of people from the OD in Santa Cruz (may 30th) and so far I am the only one who has already been contacted by EK. It doesn´t mean the rest will not be contacted, I am sure they will recieve the call this week or so.

So, if I were you, I wouldnt worry about it so much. I am sure you will hear from them soon. Perhaps we will end up starting on the same day!

Keep in mind: NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!

OD vs. Global Assesment Day
 

I was curious if anyone had attended the Assesment day instesd of the OD. On the Assesment day do you go staight to an interview, or do you have to go through all the qualifying rounds like OD? If not why doesn't everyone sign up for assesment day? And how many people attend the assesment day? If anyone could shed some light on this it would be helpful, because I have really heard about it just the OD.
Thanks
And congrats to Flyrules

InLoveWithEmirates
 

Thanks for support .:)

Akwasi2007
 

Hey,you can't sign up for assessment day, see what happen here is when people show up for OD, those who are chosen will be given screening and assessment date and if all goes well, you may proceed to final interview.

hope this help.

hey everyone
 

hi, good luck to those who still waiting for phone call. you be fine.
are anyone departing on 17th August for dubai...

InLoveWithEmirates

Thanks for your reply!!! Most helpful!

Everone else.... :pCan anyone add to the reply? My questions again were:

1. What do you think will be asked in the final interview?
2. How many out of the 40 retained for the final interview do you think will get through?
3. Do you think it is a drama if I can't start for 2 and a half months?

Cheers!

SkyFlyHighGal,

If you click on my screename "flyrules", then go to "view public profile" and then click on "find all posts by flyrules", you will find a detailed description of the entire process from the moment I filled out the online application form.

I am sure some of your questions will be answered. As far as how many people will make it to the final interview, there is no specific number of applicant that will be hired, it could be 5, all of them or none. All they will tell you is that there are about 4,000 positions to be filled by the time EK recieves its recently ordered new aircrafts. (e.g. an A380 requires 30 cabin crew members onboard)

Regards,

Fly Rules:ok:

Akwasi2007,

Thank you and good luck! Dont worry about having to choose between attending an OD or an Assesment Day. If you have what it takes and you are meant to become EK Cabin Crew, you will definatelly get in.

Fly Rules:ok:

Offered!!
 

Hi all,

Oh my.........! Got a phone call this morning saying my suggested start date is the 31st August, they are sending medical things through that I need to take to my doctors and once all ok and if refs are ok then i'm there!! Yay! x

hi!
 

3 days to go! :)

Alya

Flyrules - thanks will do! I had the interview this morning and I think it went well.:ok:

Congrats divilnay!! I hope I get to meet you one day soon in Dubai!!!! ;)

Dilvinay and evrybody else
 

I wish evrybody good luck!

:):):):):)

In the final interview they ask you questions all relating to customer service, such as "Tell us how you delt with a difficault customer, and what was the outcome"...Basically they just want to see how you deal with people in different situations, and weather you are a people person i guess. They said to us that it dosnt matter how many people they take from the final group, they have no limit, its just who they think is suitable for the job...And it wont be a drama if you can't start for two and a half monthes, my friend who also got thru with me isn't starting until a couple of monthes after as she had work commintments...Good luck!!!

Oh, and regarding the weight issue, I think it said your BMI had to be under 25 on the medical forms...But it could be over if your weight looked good on your height.

Essential Piece.
 

hello!

Dilvinay,

I know! someone has deleted messages:ooh: (perhaps is the moderator). I wrote a very nice message for everyone this morning and now is gone.:\

Hi Flyrules,

Thank you very much for the advise, you are right mou must be yourself in the interview and not to try to notice for them to see you, that is the worst. I also prepared myself some months, but as i told you my dream did not finish on May 30 th, so i will try 6 months later, good luck for you.

hi flyrules!
 

if it is the moderator i think he must give us at least an explanation!

Alya

Jessmin,

GREAT QUESTION! I was about to ask the same.

I am almost done with my medicals, I felt like a guinea-pig at the hospital while they were taking of these samples and doing the medical checks! Let me know when you get the final OK and your ticket to DXB.
