Hi All!
I received an invite to the UAE Expat selection day in mid-June but was not in the UAE at the time so couldn't attend. I sent them an email reply but never heard anything since so am afraid I screwed it up a bit and missed my chance! Anyone else write into EY saying that they couldn't attend the given date and heard anything back? Anyone know whom to contact at EY or have a telephone number?
Thanks...and good luck all!

It has all been mentioned before on this post. Basically, day one is only for written, multiple choice tests on basic math, physics... about 5 or 6 tests. Main issue apparently is time. Since they dont let u use calculator, you will have to multiply and long divide on paper and that takes longer than with a calculator. It has also been said that they are not looking for the smartest guy, they want someone who they can sit next to for a 10 hour long flight.
I believe there is no personal contact on this first stage.

No worries ZaaZoo I got it from Switch board at recruitment. I was going to call him back but I figured it may actually only damage my chances. I was going to ask a silly question like when will I get my email telling me what time to arrive etc. I just don't want to waste his time.
So what are the CTC tests like and is there anyway to practice for the Compass test?
I think we should all have passed the team work objective by now :P

Cadets
I would strongly suggest NOT contacting Akram.
1st- He is not is charge of this!
2nd-He is very busy with a million things, not just cadet pilot recruitment.
Whoever put his number on the forum, I would suggest in the strongest terms you remove it.
Those contacted will be contacted again in due course.
As other people have said practice some maths, I have no idea what compass tests are but its not what EY are using!

CTC assessments aren't that daunting tbh. it's a case (as you've probably heard a thousand times) of 'it's either you have the aptitude or you don't'.
they included hand-eye co-ordination (through use of a joystick, witht he aim of keep[ing the crosshair in the middle of the screen...hands, where you are given voice commands of different scenraios with relation to what the 'man is holding in his hands'...flying though boxes, again with the use of a joystick...identifying patterns within patters...and multi-tasking with hand-eye co-ordination and counting.
have a read of the CTC topic. all the info is on there. but you havent got anything to worry about.
not sure how much it correlates with the etihad assessments.

It has been said that whoever is in charge of the cadet program is not exclusively in charge of it, and has a million other things to do. It's also been mentioned that whomever has already been invited to attend the first stage, will be contacted again for further details. In my opinion, contacting etihad at this point wouldn't do anything but harm to your application since patience is highly expected in these kinds of process.
All what's left to do now is wait and practice long division... no calculators allowed.
