If you read your letter of offer, even during your final interview. stated very clearly, you need 2 references letter with company stamp on it. if you holding a job currently, you MUST submit the form that's came with your offer of employment. with the company stamp again, scan and email it back. i know someone who just did that.
up to you how much you like to keep your job.

....
 

Theres such a thing as AWOL, meaning absence without official leave. This was necessary for us because we would have to pay a ridiculous amount if we resigned properly. All that they asked from us at the final interview is any kind of proof that you were employed by your previous company. They didnt mention anything about resignation forms and such.

ikoysss
 

Pls refer to your offer of employment page 9 and 10. Honestly I am not very familiar with AWOL,.

hey :)
 

Hey everyone

I fly out to Dubai on the 10th August and start training the 16th. Anyone else going on those dates?

HHHmmmmm:confused:

Quite interesting... We all fly on a friday to DXB and start training the following thursday. The business week in the UAE starts on sunday and it ends on thursday.

Does it mean we will have one day of training right before the weekend? or, Will we be attending training on weekends....? I assume that first week in DXB will be to finish up visa formalities, hiring paperwork and medicals, right?

FlyRules:ok:

PS: nno85, you fly to DXB on my b-day!, lucky you!:O

what do you think are in common with all of you who were hired by emirates?? i need help..thanks!

Were all of you smooth skined, flawless, and all?

...
 

I have friends who are currently working for Emirates. And i have seen their colleagues. Let me tell you what i think. Its the personality they are looking for, the sincerity towards the job. I have seen really pretty ones and ordinary looking ones. Good physical attributes are a plus ofcourse. But without the personality, one can only go as far as the initial screening. Its like dating someone. You tend to look at her physical attributes first then you assess the personality. :suspect:

I have not been hired yet. Waiting for the golden call. :O crossing my fingers :8

I made it!
 

Hello everyone! I Just got the famous call from Emirates. I'm wondering if anyone starts their training on 27 of August. :)

hi lovebird_25
 

when was your final interview? i'm still waiting for the golden call:) CONGRATULATIONS:)

From Sun to Wed you will get your uniform, visit the clinic and fill lots and lots of paper work, including your USA visa application and some people might need visa for some other countries, it all happens the first four days, on Thu it's the first day that you will attend the S.E.P. training and on the week end you will probably have to study for some test for the next Sun, and you will be tested every 2nd day at least.

During the very first week you will already start using your uniform, probably by day 3 or 4, so, the very first days you will have to wear something formal and business like, take what you had at the interview.

God Luck !!!

Leo

<P>hi there, I'm also flying over to Dubai on 10 Aug and will start my training on 17 Aug.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Nice meeting you here.</P>

email with medical info?
 

i received the call from emirates to say that i got got accepted nearly a week ago.... and i SWORE the lady said that she was going to send an email with ALL the medical attachments/forms to me in the next 24hrs...but then again i was TOO HAPPY to really listen to all the info she was giving me! the whole call was a blur :p so when i didnt get it in the next 24 hours i assumed she said within the week...?? she even quoted my correct email address?

how long was it when you guys got the email after the call?? i just want to get ALL the official stuff done ASAP, cause i am TOTALLY READY to go!! its all im waiting on!!

hi desmayani
 

Congratulations:)

cabin crew linen and starter pack list
 

"Hola" everybody,

Is anyone familiar with the "CC linen and starter pack list"??? I recieved a copy of it during the final interview but I am not sure if we will definately recieve everything that is on that list upon arrival. If that is the case, clothes is all we need to bring with us. Right?

____________________________________________________________ ___

Desmayani,

It took two weeks after the call to recieve the email with medical forms, contract, druglist and new hire checklist. After you submit all those forms via email, it will be another two weeks to get medical approval and two more weeks to get the final approval/acceptance letter.
____________________________________________________________ ___

SHFG,

CONGRATS! Well done:D

FlyRules:ok:

YAYAYAYAYYAY

They FINALLY called back tonight...

I start on Oct 12!

(pending medical, etc)

Sooooooo excited :p:p:p

SHFG:p

Open Day or Global Assessment Day?
 

Heya!

I will try to make it as short as I can :p.

This is going to be my second attempt with EK and yet again, I have been invited to attend a premilinary selection next month (yeah! fingers crossed everybody!).

I do understand that when it is meant to be, then it is meant to be (?lol?). However, would you reckon that I would have a better chance on an Open Day rather than on a Global Assessment Day?

Bear in mind that most of the time, those who come on an Open Day are less prepared, so I guess I am just trying to be cheeky :8, expecting that the chance would be better. Not too sure whether that would make sense, hence this post. For additional information, the OD will be on a different city, a week earlier than the GAS.

Please let me know your thoughts. Wish you all the best!

Cheers,
Pramugara

hi everyone
 

I'd like to ask how important the resignation form is? what if I my former company without proper notice. So it means I couldn't get the papers that I need.They won't give me those resignation forms,etc.thanks for the help

Final Approval
 

Hello Everyone,


The email says that I can now resign, scan and email the Resignation Acceptance. Quote: "Note: You will not be allowed to join without providing us with the Resignation acceptance letter".

It also says that I will recieve an email 4 days before leaving home with the e-ticket/visa paperwork. I will be able to travel just with the print out! (Thank God for Technology and the Internet! :O)

See you all in Dubai!!!!

FlyRules:ok:

Date of interview
 

My final interview was 20 of June. But in my documents it's written joining date June 16. I almost completed most of my medical exams and as i mentioned before the tests were very easy.
I want to thank you Mr. Adel form HR department, he's been very helpful to all joiners.
Good luck guys...

Congratulations Flyrules!

hi Flyrules

Cairns base
 

Hi guys,

There is a rumour doing the rounds that Emirates is opening up a base in Cairns. Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks :confused:

sorry but no...
if ek were to open a new destination in oz it would be adelaide, but the current agreement ek has only allows them 49 flights a week, therefore to open a new destination they would have to bring down a frequency on another station (and currently all of them are doing quiet well, with good loads on the trans-tasman sectors).
i know the agreement was revised recently, any news on that?

Thanks for bursting my little bubble of hope :{

But seriously, thanks for replying. I thought it sounded too good to be true!

CP8,

All forms will be provided by EK along with your contract.

FlyRules:ok:

Resignation Letter
 

My understanding was that the reason that they need the resignation letter was so that they could process the UAE residence visa, as for EK to be your sponsor in the country you cannot be employed by anyone else.

When I got my letter, I asked to have it done on the company letterhead, and they stamped it for me, it just said how long I had worked there and when I terminated my employment. But then again I was a casual so didn't have the worry of a payout over my head.

Hope this helps

Teeth
 

Hello all,

I'm a 23 year old male here in Manila, Philippines aspiring to be a cabin crew member for Emirates. I was wondering how strict Emirates is when it comes to teeth; I have complete and healthy teeth however the four front teeth in the bottom row are misaligned. Would this disqualify me for assesment or lessen my chances of being accepted? Thanks! :)

To all you guys out here worrying about your teeth not being totally perfect: This is not a issue here on EK!! As long as it doesn't make you look like a freak, please do not worry!!!! Emirates have normal looking crew, and not so good looking and some good looking.. Getting the the job is all about your personality!! Please don't let this built up image about EK being all about looks fool you guys, it's not like that!

Be confident and don't try to hide your smile at the interviews:):):)

hi
 

thanks Flyrules and helfsich:)

Thanks mytcrew! I'll keep that in mind. :)

bes&dsky

i really can't say what the Emirates recruiters are looking for. but in my observation, they want you to be comfortable and confident (or at least appear confident) during the whole process. :)

cp8

your from the Philippines too right? The resignation acceptance letter may be the certificate of employment (COE) which states how long you were with the company.

You will also receive a specimen sample from EK once they send you the forms thru ur email. :)

Medical Smear Test Help!
 

Hi all,

I've just submitted all my Medical info and Xrays etc to Dubai today via email. Have a question though as there is one thing which is worrying me.
I had my first smear test about 4 years ago where they found Mild Dysklarosis (spelt something like that) which is basically mildly abnormal cells. I was referred to my local NHS Hospital's Coloscopy clinic who I've seen every 6 months for a test, my last smear in December 2006 came back with clear results (third one in a row that came back clear) so the letter I have submitted to Dubai states this:

I have recently rec the result of the smear test you had taken in the Coloscopy Clinic and am happy to report that this has come back negative (yay). You are therefore discharged back to your GP where you will require two more smears at yearly intervals. If these are both negative you can then return to your routine screening under the NHS Cervical Smear Programme (which I think is every 3 years)

Is this likely to be a problem? Arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thanks
Ell J

hi liebestraum12
 

hello:) yep im a filipina. by the way,are you with emirates? im planning to go an AWOL because we have to pay the bond of 70,000pesos because we didn't finished the contract of 2years. So it means that If I'm on AWOL,I can't get the clearance,COE and other necessary documents from them.right?thanks

Photos
 

Hey Jess,

You better find a nice restaurant to have dinner at when I get to DXB! :p

____________________________________________________________ _

Jess and Ell J,

Regarding the final addional 24 photos requested, I have taken all of them in skyblue background (3.5x4.5cms which is standard passport size). I know it says four of them have to be 3x3.5 cms (an odd size), so I reckon I will just bring a pair of good scissors with me!:p

I am not sure if perhaps the 4 photos (3x3,5 cms) are the ones for the R-type U.S. visa. I remember those were the exact same specifications when I had my US visa renewed last year.

FlyRules:ok:

PS: Do these 24 photos also have to be showing off your teeth:}?

this is from a web site in the uk.........

Is it about right ?
hope it not a problem posting this here , as it is in the public domain already
this is from a career in travel web site
many thnks in advance
ian beale


What you can expect working for Emirates
g 3 year renewable contract
g A tax free starting salary of AED 3,640 (approx US$ 1,000) plus flying pay of approximatly US$ 600
per month
g High quality furnished shared accommodation (own bedroom)

Flyrules
 

Can't Wait My Dear.

About The Photos, I Am Scratching My Head Here About The Unusual Size, U Probably Right, They Probably Need Them For Us Visas Which I Already Have For Work And Tourist.
Let Me Know If You Get Any News About The Odd Size Photos.

Cp8
Don't Worry So Much About Your Resignation Letter. You Won't Get Into Trouble With Ek, Just Explain To Them. I Don't Have Release Letter Cos I Left Previous Company 3 Months Ago. I Explained To Them My Situation, They Were Fine With Me.

jessmin
