questions
i don't have any tattoos anywhere, but is it against the rules if i was to get one in a non visible place? Does anyone here have any tattoos? Also, if theres anyone form NZ or australia here do you know if electrical stuff like my hairdryer will work in dubai? I have brought an adaptor plug thing but the man in the shop said my straightner may not work cos it has high voltage or something?
Thanks!! |

Sydney???
Hey all,
Anyone know when Emirates are recruiting back in Sydney again? Hope everyone is well :) |
Hey Jess, CONGRATS!!!:D I am so happy for you. I hope this means I will be contacted early next week as well! (my final was may 30th).
kimberlyk, I actually do have a tattoo on my upper back, a very small one though. I told them about it during the final interview as they asked me about any birthmarks or tattoos. They said, that was not a issue whatsoever as it is not visible at all. I had it done when I was 19, a revel and a :mad: teenager! ...one of those things I do regret now days... skychild, Check www.emiratesgroupcareers.com for Cabin Crew Global Assessment Days & Open Days Fly Rules:ok: |

Dont worry, as far as I know there are alot of russian cabin crew in EK.
Even when we watched the video on the Open Day. There were some Cabin Crews giving an interview ,they were of different natanalities and a russian girl was also among them. |
hi! i'd like to ask if Emirates really strict with the teeth? because my lower teeth are misaligned and I have an Emirates assessment on July1. I'm scared that I might fail d screening because of my teeth.

Just a thought.
Hi Everyone!!
I’ve been reading these forums for a while but this is my first post. Firstly Congratulations to everyone that has recently received AWESOME, AWESOME news! I hope that I will be joining you soon in Dubai! Ok yes I know that this is my first post but I have to gt something off my chest. This thread offers some VERY relevant and VERY useful information – if you bother to look for it. (So thank you to everyone who has contributed to this) What I really don’t understand is why the same question is asked 1000 times.:ugh: I know that most of you – like me – really, REALLY want a career as cabin crew with EK, and again, like me would have a million questions, but what I don’t understand is why people don’t take the time to look for themselves for the answers to their questions. There are some really amazing posts by people who take the time and write about their experiences at open days, what to expect, what to wear, what type pf questions will be asked, what the medicals include, what living in Dubai will be like, the length of stopovers, what company ethos is like etc etc. The information here is VAST!! People if you are serious about working for EK, or any airline for that matter - do your OWN homework - don’t ask for it to be done for you! Airlines like if you have something known as initiative;) Asking when the next open day in Timbuktu is, is crazy. The best place to find out information like this is at the EK WEBSITE! http://www.emiratesgroupcareers.com/http://dxbmiww99.emirates.com/hrrecruit/CC_OpenDay/CC_OpenDayList.asp Honestly I don’t understand why this wouldn’t be your first port of call. You will find important and essential information there – including WHEN and WHERE EK is recruiting. You will also find that they tell you, what to wear to the open day, and what to take. They even have a section dedicated to what to expect in Dubai. I know that ALL your questions won’t be answered at the EK website. Even after reading this forum I would be surprised if you were left with no questions, - BUT most of your questions, if you DO bother to read WILL be answered. I’m not attempting to offend anybody, I just think it would be beneficial to everyone if we thought and read previous information before we posted (I think you will find you will remember the answers to your questions a little better if you do your own homework too) Anyway, that’s my rant. Congrats again to everyone who was successful!!!:D And good luck to all you wannabes like me!:ok: Cheers! |
InLoveWithEmirates
Hey, no worry, they will call you. I have similiar situation. I sent my photos 5 days later after my final interview. they called me after 4 weeks. they emailed me the following day regarding contract and medical requirement.
wish you luck |
Hey guys,
Please do not hesitate to ask the same question over and over again! As far as I am concerned and if necessary, I am willing to give the same answer again, and again, and again... That`s what this forum is all about. Eventhough the recruitment process has been pretty much the same for each one of us, there is always a little twist. We all have learned from those unique experiences. I have read every single message posted in this forum and everyone`s is unique because it comes from a different person, different culture, different perspective, and that is what EK is about: diversity. I DO agree with sandpit however, people should read the EK website (completely) as it contains general information, guidelines and details about the process. It should be your first resource. So please, let`s keep this a friendly environment:). I know some of us have bonded while sharing our experiences. We all hope at one point, to join EK and eventually meet in person during training in Dubai (or at least that is something I am looking forward to!) So peace! and don`t bang your head against the wall too much (oouch!) Fly Rules:ok: |
hmmmmm
I don’t think sandpit was being hostile or unfriendly....and I really don’t think that sandpit meant to offend; I think the meaning was simply to have a good read and make the most of your opportunity to research through other people’s experiences, and to be a little proactive and use common sense. :)
|
sandpit here i come was not being hostile - he/she was absolutely accurate.
I know that many, including the mods, are astonished by the number of people posting on this (and the Eitihad) thread who are unprepared to make even the most basic efforts to do their own research and yet expect to be hired, presumably by divine right. It is very kind of you all to offer to accept the same questions and then regurgitate the same answers time after time to people who simply cannot be bothered to read the available information: I promise you that you will tire of it eventually. Moving to another country and starting a new career are major steps in your lives - you need to be very cool and hard-headed about the business and ensure that your excitement and optimism are balanced by a well-grounded sense of reality. People that you assist now may be your work colleaguees in the future, which is great if they work well and you get on: However in a years time when you discover that they are always somewhere else when a call bell rings on your third night sector in a week, or that somehow it is always you that seems to clear up the vomit, your assessment may change. So... Support each other as best you can: Provide useful information by all means - But don't pander to those who are too lazy to do the same work that you have done. That will help nobody, least of all those wwho may end up in a career that they are unsuitable for. |
bravo, bravo. So true:D:D

hey everyone
can anybody please advise me what the "Entry Permit Application" is? it says i have to submit one when sending medicals etc however i have never received it and i have emailed them but heard nothing. is this something only certain countries have to fill in? Any advice is much appreciated.
Linda x |
Lindaflychick,
I remember all seven of us having to fill out one of those "Entry Permit Application" forms right before the final interview. It was prety much just one sheet of paper (photocopy) with your basic details such as full name, DOB, permanent address, phone numbers, next of keen, mother`s name, father`s name, ALL your passport details and they even ask you about your religion and, if musslim, whether or not you are willing to serve alcohol. We were told it is part of the visa processing paperwork. Just as reference, I`ve found one online at http://uae-embassy.org/documents/VisaApplication.pdf that looks almost like the one we filled out. Check it out and see if you recall filling out something similar already. As far as only certain countries having to fill out that form, I am not sure... Did you try emailing your recruitment officer? Perhaps they can email you a copy of it, as the one above (in the website), IS NOT exactly the same as EK`s form. EK recruitment officers have been very helpfull to me AND they have promptly replied to my emails. Hope this helps, Fly Rules:ok: |
Jessmin
Dont know if u remember me or not but i wanna to cogratulate u first!!

hi everyone and flyrules!
can i bother you for a few questions to answer but first of all i've read more than 700 comments here sure it takes sometime but gives you a lot clears your doubts, fills the blanks. So on the 30th of this month which means i have 8 days to go, i am going to attend the OD in istanbul. i live in izmir. First question basically i've read some information about this but my circumstance is a bit different here i think. i am flying for a company and my schedule is already set so it is really difficult to get permission especially to get another job to tell your manager to live the city to another i can hear you say what are you talking about, people are leaving their countries i know but i need your advice even though.i have got permission for the 30th of this month from my company but just 2 days which is the 29th same day i am going to fly to istanbul and the 30th to attend OD.
I've read that after the OD on saturday they might call you back on monday to ask you to take the other step like exams and so on or is it not so? flyrules or anyone could you inform me would be greatly appreciated. another question i would like to ask is i actually have bought a light coloured business attire as it is mentioned on the invitation they have send me. i know how to do my hair right ,how to do my make-up, nails and etc.i am not going to ask how to do anyway but the point is my jacket is of course conservative long sleeved though is it ok if i wear a short sleeved blouse into the jacket would that be appropriate as long as i don't take my jacket off? because in these days istanbul is approximately 35 degrees cantigrate :) another question how many days do i need roughly to complete the interview exams etc as i still have a flying schedule i don't know how to cope with that! so finally i have 8 days to go it is going to be my first try with emirates hope it would be the last :) and sure i will share every inch of my experience about OD and inform everyone here. thanx in advance and million thanx who has shared their experience. ooops! :) wish me luck Alya |

Hola,
Well, they will actually tell you that you should be available for at least 5 days. It actually depends on how many people end up showing to the OD. For instance, there were about 100 of us during the OD in Santa Cruz, only 7 got selected for the final interiew. So that's only 7 people to be scheduled for the final interview (avrg: 1 hour per person). The recruitment officers wanted to give us a whole day off to be able to gather all documents and photos required for the final interview. Also, we needed some extra time to finish up the on-line based tests. Before we were sent home the first day, we talked to the recruitment officers and explained to them that we had everything ready (docs, photos, etc). I had booked my flight back to Miami for the following evening; another guy had to be at work and couldn't take the day off. So we agreed to held the final interviews the following morning as opposed to the day after. I was the first one scheduled for interview as they knew I had to catch a flight later that day. With that said, my suggestion is: once you recieve the invitation to attend the final interview, talk to them, explain your situation. They are very understanding people. Even when you fill out the application forms for the final interview, you will be asked to let them know if there are any important events happening in your life within the next couple of months such as weddings, birthdays, graduation parties, etc. They will give you a start date based on your avalability! That is very nice of them. As far as advise on what you should wear or not during the OD, I will let that for a girl to answer. I am a guy and its very simple for us: suite, shirt and tie. Guys can't go wrong. Good luck! Fly Rules:ok: |
thank you flyrules!
yesss you are right it is very simple for you trousers,tie etc..
thank you for your answer,very useful. i can't understand who is male who is female so just asking anyway hope i will do it right! by the way if you don't mind are you spanish? Alya |

Hallo,
As I am a female, may be I can give You some advice aboute what You have to wear on the Open Day. There is a description in Your invintation what You have to wear : . Business attire needs to be worn.This includes a fitted schirt/blous, fitted long sleeved jacket and a knee length skirt with skin coloured stockings. . Appropriate foot ware would be: Court schoes with a heel and no ankle straps. Pleas do not wear open-toed sandals or ankle chains. . Pleas do not wear neck scarves. . pleas ensure that Your jewellery is conservative. . Hair: If hair is schoulder length, pleas ensure it is tied back in a neat manner. There were different Ladies on the Open Day and evrybody had business attire. But the most important on the Open Day is TO BE YOURSELF.... Just make a dicission of Your own what You exactly wear. The basic details You have already got. Wish You good luck! |
behind the sky
I don´t really know about the dental check. But I think that it is imortant that Your teeth are healthy and have white natural coulor when You smile.
I am sure there are alot of cabin crews that have fillings . And what about Your weight... It is difficult to say, because nobody knows what exactly does EK want. If You look normal ,not too fat and not too skinny....If You look nice and attraktive ,and confident with Your 85 kilos..it must not be a problem.But I can´t say You exactly. And what is Your personal feeling about Your weigt? Some people with 175 cm and have 85 kilos...but they look very different it depends on Your figer and so on. Just try....You will never know till You visit the Open Day. Wish You good luck as well!:ok: |
dankeschon in love with Emirates

If the life once lied to You Don´t let You be upset Just calm down,no regreats. You will get Your happy End! Yes in Future lives Your Heart And the Presence is too sad. Evry thing is like a wind Disappears so quick as ice And the Past will be so nice! |
dilvinay

sad and in need of help
Hi everyone! Well I had my open day today, and I am feeling rather crushed.
I smiled, talked to people, was not negative in any way, made an effort to include quiet people, and honestly was relaxed and happy. but...I didn’t even make it past the first round.... I just have no idea what more i could have done.:sad: I have years of customer service experience, am actively involved within my community, am running my own business and work bloody hard at everything I do! I’m not going to curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep, but I really am crushed.... If there is anybody, anybody at all that could offer any advice in regards to my resume I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it, because I am starting to think maybe that is part of the problem?... I kept it to two pages but clearly that didn’t help…. I intend to reapply in 6 months, but help now would be really, really appreciated |
hi! inlovewithemirates!
you are the only one who answers questions here, thank you!(and flyrules of course)
How was your OD! did you achieve or are you still waiting? what do you mean by certificates i mean what kind of certificates? application form signed and named? (have updated english cv instead) i know that poem had to memories it years ago as i am graduated from russian language and literature :). yesli jizn tibya obmanet ne pechalsya ne serdis.... Alya |
