Referrals
 

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone could please assist me with my query. I am very keen to join Emirates and after a couple of failed open day attempts I am starting to lose hope, however I know someone who is currently working for Emirates. Apparently in this industry it's helpful if you know someone who is already in it. Does anyone know someone or has anyone on this forum joined Emirates through the referral of someone else who was already working with Emirates. If so, could you please tell me how you/they went about it.

Any replies relating to my query will be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.

P.s., I also want to wish all the EK wannabes all the best. I hope we all get there one day! :)

Mornin all,(well it's morning here) geetha, they gave my daughter dhs500 when she got there plus dhs2000 advance from first salary payment then a little later I think they get another dhs2600.Obviously this is deducted from your salary. She also said they give you money to get a kettle, toaster, hoover, which you don't have to repay! They also advise you take some money with you on day you fly out, both local currency for use at airport and dhs as most places are shut Fridays in Dubai, as you prop already know! Re. weather: yes, my daughter said it is v. hot, but she likes the hot weather, and has even managed to get in some sunbathing time!! I hope s
he's enjoyed her days off as tomorrow it's back to the training;)

Joining EMIRATES?!
 

Hello to everyone!My name is Ana,I come from Belgrade,Serbia and I attended open day in May 2006 in my country.I have passed through all the stages and the final interview and didn't receive call from Emirates until 11 August.More the 3 months!My application was suggested for final approvement and I did all medical tests and faxed them to CC joiners.That was last week and now I am waiting for answer.I would like someone who passed through this procedure to explaine me what and when I can expect?I was told that my travel date will be 20 Oct.
Any answer means a lot to me!
hope to hear from You!
Regards to all present and future Cabin Crew!

Hi, Ana.

I'm approved Emirates joiner, with start date 29th Sept.

I have past all this procedures , so I will try to be as clear as possible. Basicly you should wait now for contacting with approval on your medicals. Then in 2 weeks may be they will send you a offer letter, which you have to send them back- signed by you. And then you will get your ticket and visa. SO, dont worry. Since you pass the medicals, you are in!!!!;) It is a big waiting yes...but it's really deserves!

BTW, I'm Elly, from bulgaria- Sofia. So, our languages are quiet similar!

Best regards and Good luck!!!:ok:

Big hug. Regrads:
Elly

Hi Elly!! Training will start after the medicals and other formalities are completed. And so if we land in Dubai on Friday and Saturday is a holiday than Sunday onwards the medicals would start ( i m assuming here).

Popins, Semangeline, Newnz, Elly
Congratulations to you all and keep us posted on how your training goes..

the small one blue background
but im sure they gana ask you to take the photo with your uniform...
you can take the photo at the college...it was 4 photos/15 dirhams (im not sure..but it was about that..)

online joing quiz..
don't worry im not even did those quiz...but im flying now~~~
but if you can do it do the quiz it help you to know the company..

Open Day in Bucharest October 7th
 

Hello guys,just wondering if anybody on this forum is planning on showing up at the open day in Bucharest.

Goyangee
 

Hi, dear CC of ek!!

Thank you for your post...It is really helpful! Apreciate your advices and info that you and Mother Hen give us!

So, let me ask you - as far as you are infromed- are you sure that all new joiners are placed in hotels? Still, it is better than your accomadations, right?;)

Then, I'm flying on 29th this month, but will start my training on 5th OCT, is it normal this? I was supposing that will start in 2-3 days my training..

However..Thank you again!

ANd best regards:
Elly

welcome
 

AnA_stw_SER, Riya_nea:
hi there.. welcome to the forum and all the best to u.
goyangee:
hi. thanks for sharing the info.. i'm sure it b of great help to many of our new joinees frm our forum.

all th best to u too.

TK CARE...
GOD BLESS!!

Hey Elly,
I just received my e-ticket and visa today. I also spoke to one of the HR team regarding a few questions I had - one of which was regarding accom. She told me that she believed the company accomodation was now complete (last few days...) and that I would most likely be taken straight there rather than to a hotel once I arrive. Will see you over in Dubai!! Am leaving on Friday. :)

Oh yeah, and thanks Goyangee for your advice! Looking forward to meeting you hopefully!

NewZL
 

Hi, dear.

I'm very happy about you!!! :D Also happy about the accomadation- really hope that we will stay in a new nice places!

Wish you a pleasant flight, and looking forward to see you!

Take care and keep us inform how is there..once you arrive...;)

Elly

Hi there,

this site has been really helpful for preparation.
I am a M'sian that attended an Open day in Melbourne, I only registered/submitted my resume but they didn't call me for a screening/interview the next day.Do I need to wait 6 months or can I just go for the next Open Day in Melbourne, S'pore or M'sia? I would think i won't have to wait for 6 mths as I did not attend the interview. what do u all reckon?

Any info offered would be appreciated.

Thanks
Libran

Same position...
 

Hey Ana...

Keep us updated!

question
 

just a quick question about open day interviews.Do I need to receive an invitation from Emirates to the open day interview?or do i just show up on the specified day?

The reason I am asking this for is because I've already registered for the open day scheduled for Bucharest on the 7th of october,but upon registering for the interview I received an automatically generated script saying that they will look at my application and that IF I am short listed i will be scheduled for an interview next time they come to my country or a country in the vecinity of mine.

Does this mean that if I don't receive an invitation I shouldn't bother?or that I should just go ahead and try to meet them and try to submit my file personally(which I will try to do no matter what).
Hope I get some answers on this one,thanx in advance,safe flights

Reference letter with company header/ stamp
 

Dearest Elly , Newnz and all the sweeties here..

I havent received my eticket yet..:{ :{ :{

I am a bit shocked actually when i received an email over the weekends that my reference letter need to be sent with company header/ stamped. I had given them during my final interview but along the way perhaps they had overlooked.

I am in a rush and my heart was so heavy last few days. Manage to get my letters again with company letter but email couldnt get through. :{ :{ :{ Will call Emirates again.

Well the relieve thing is Emirates called today and said my ticket is ready and i will receive my final briefing once they received my revised ticket. So Newz you are absolutely right that your plane coming to pick me up.

Guess i am leaving my hometown in a little rush but i be calm for now.

See you guys in Dubai soon.

Cheers

semangeline
 

dont worry... abt the refrence letter thing.... evrything vil be fine. did u call them up?

congrats on confirmation of ur ticket. u must be excited and at the same time a bit restless i believe:) ..

gud luck!

GOD BLESS

Hello everyone,

Good to see the emirates forum is back in full swing and good to see familiar names again.

Motherhen - Thanks for all the updates on your daughters progress during her training in Dubai, it is awesome to gain insight on what happens over there once you arrive. It is a mission within itself getting to Dubai for training, but by the sounds of things it is all worth it and thats very comforting to know. So keep the daily updates coming because I am sure that we all anticpate you news.

I am currently going through all my medicals at the moment, gee talk about a mission and a half, just got minor work to do on my teeth which will be done next week and once that is done I will send everything through to Emirates and play the waiting game yet again......is there anyone here flying to Dubai in November or December?

Ticket
 

Hi, dear friend.

I've just got my ticket. Flying on 29th;) . Now, I'm waiting for my visa.. Can not wait to start my training in EK. Guys, keep us inform how is going the application process, and everything....

Best regards: Elly

hello guys
 

Libran

Hello,hope you are doing well. well,am not a person in the know but i would think that since you were not even called for the screening, probably you can apply again now.
P/s: Get to know what you could have done wrong and didnt get the call..................we should be reading from you soon as to when you will be flying out to Dubai to start your training;);)!!!!!!

Black Sheep X

Hello,hope you are doing well. well,am not a person in the know but from what i understand from this forum on EK open days, they are open for anyone to attend. Maybe someone else who knows more would clariffy this for you more. and it might be wise to get there early enough!
P/s: Get to go for the Open day................................we should be reading from you soon as to when you will be flying out to Dubai to start your training;);)!!!!!!

I wish everyone else who wants to join EK, (including myself) all the best.
Hope we will meet there soon.

Bucharest open day postponed
 

Hello everyone .Very dissapointed today.In the morning got the invitation to the Open Day in Bucharest on the 7th of October,evrything was perfect.Couple of hours ago did my usual check on Emirates site and to my surprise I was amazed to see that the interview was postponed till the 28th of october.
I was stunned considering that this happened on the same day that me and a bunch of friends got the invitation via email.
Has this happened before?Anyone knows what their reasons might be?Think there's a chance that they will postpone again or even cancel it?
I'm asking because on the 13th there is an open day in Belgrade and even though the drive will be more than 1200 km I am willing to make it.What do you guys think?Any suggestions?Is there a contact number where I could call or an email adress I could write to to ask for a confirmation for the 28th?
I am really puzzled,don't know what to think or do since this happened out of the blue.Please someone reply and give ur opinions.What could be the reasons for the delay?

Thank you for taking the time to read this,I'm so sad and frustrated

Hi there,

Congrats Elly, Im sure you'll have so much fun when you get there,,im gettin excited,too.:}
I went to the open day at auckland on 19th Aug. I guess you went to the july one ay? Anyway, hope all the trainig and things go smooth with ya, I'll catch up soon...
Just a question, Ive faxed all the medicals last week, do you know how long its gonna take to receive an update of medical form?
GoodLuck!!!!:ok:

Hi Fieval,

Its nice to see you again, Ive faxed all the medical forms last week and now back to waiting game..I dunno how long its gonna take em to give out the update on medicals but I guess we just have to be patient here..
Im leaving on 22nd Oct..hope to see you there:)

Keep in touch

Hey MTAN065

Good to hear from you too, it was a little hard to keep in contact after the last forum got closed down, but here we are again.

I am supposedly meant to be flying 10th November but I am trying to psuh it back as late as possible, as there are few things I have to tie up here before I fly, so the latter the better definitely!!!

I will defintely make sure to meet you in Dubai if I get through keep in touch and let me know when you get the all clear from Emirates I am sure it wont be long a wait for your reply as your flying day is drawing near!

Keep in touch:O

thanks heaps...will tr my best and will keep everyone posted!

mtan065
 

Hi! The medicals are approved according to your departure date. That's why when they ask you to fax your medicals they tell you to mention your joining date on them. So someone who is leaving before you will get priority in getting their medicals cleared. There is this girl who was with me in the interviews and her joining date is late October. She was the first one to send in her medicals (sent around 4 weeks back) but has not heard back as yet. Where as the rest of us had faxed after her and all of us have got the approval as our departure date is before her.
So I would say that just be patient and don't stress yourself out. You will get the approval soon. Each stage is a waiting game but EK is very professional in their recuitment process and they will give your case importance as your departure date comes closer.

good luck
 

:) Hi everyone, mother hen here,
just wnted to wish all of you who will be flying out to Dubai tomorrow,and next week, the very best. I hope you will enjoy it as much as my daughter seems to.
She's started the exams,which she says are not difficult, just different(from her last jobs training) and intense! So far she's passed with 100%, and yesterday my son passed his driving test also! I'm really pleased for them both!
Anyway, have safe flights and hope everything goes really well for you, but I know how your family will be feeling:{
Take care all, say hello to my daughter if you see her(Kaycie),
The very best of luck, mother hen.:D

NewZL and Semangeline
 

Dear friends, have a pleasant flight Tommorow....!!!!!:ok: Good luck and write us back about the situation there!!!
We need your need info... especially me, since I'm flying next Friday. ;)

How many days before your departure day , you got your visa and your brief letter?

MotherHen, Thank you...I really hope that training is not that hard. :rolleyes:

Ok, keep and touch and see you there, guys!

Elly

hi evryone

just wanted to say have a safe journey to all of you guys who are leaving for Dubai soon...
I called the recruitment office today just to ask whether they had received the second set of pictures that i sent them an i was told that they have received and myapplication is under process and i'll know of an out come by next week...but i just checked my email and this is what i got


Further to your recent interview for the post of Cabin Crew with our organization, it is with considerable regret that I have to advise you that your application was unsuccessful on this occasion.
Should you still be interested in pursuing your interest with Emirates Airline, you can re-apply after a period of one year.
We would nevertheless like to thank you for attending the interview programme, and wish you every success with your future endeavors.

Yours sincerely,

Cabin Crew Recruitment
This is a system generated message, please do not reply.

I had my final interview in June and i sent my pictures twice and i have no idea what went wrong and at the moment i am very very sad :{ :{ because i dont know what else i'll do. So will have to wait for a year to apply again....

Anyway best of luck to everybody...hopefully i'll join you guys next year in Dubai.

dear Sabby

hello,i know how it feels to get a regret from EK.i have got two though i have never made it to the final interview...........................still its a rejection and i know it really hurts.
For now,if you are interested in other airlines,try look around and if you are a die hard EK cc wonnabe, you will reapply again later.
My 6 month period is almost over and i hopee to get the job this time (when am invitated for an interview)!!!!:ugh:

I wish you all the best and one day we will meet in Dubai!!!!!!!!

sabby_nz
 

Hi Sabby!! I am so sorry. I know nothing I will say can make you feel better. But hang in there and keep trying. There are a lot of airlines out there and take this as an experience.

I just wish EK would not take so long in rejecting candidates. Getting a bad news after such a long wait can be really heart breaking.

Good Luck to you.

Thanks guys!
 

Hey friends!

Thanks for the wishes! Am finally all packed and good to go (I'm sure I've got far too much luggage though!) Will most definitely try to get on here as often as I can and keep you all posted. I can't wait to meet you all in person once you join!

Sabby, I'm sooo sorry to hear your news, that is so odd and you must be gutted. I guess the important thing is not to take it personally though - persist, think positively and things will pan out just fine. Stay in touch.

Re: Medicals. Mine took around a couple of weeks to be approved, but to be honest - you would know if anything you've faxed away would be a problem as the doctor/medical professional would tell you.. So, c u soon!

Must fly ;)

Thanks guys for your support
 

I read the email again just to be sure that i didnt get it...yeh feeling really bad but i wont give up...one year will fly pretty quickly i guess...Emirates cant get rid of me that easily :)

All the best to you Newnz...what time is your flight tomoro?

thats the spirit sabby!

All the best and you are right,the one year will fly pretty fast.
we will all be meeting in Dubai soon!

To those flying soon

keep us posted on the training
