EMIRATES Interview what is happening there??
 

Just recently I had my second chance with EMIRATES , first time could not prepare for 737 Simm because as far as I know ,no 737 Simms where I live and work in Africa, so I failed!! no explanation given ,second time I managed to book 6h in a Simm in another country during with holidays ,failed again !!! ,despite writting to the examining team to ask for the reason ,he replied unable to provide for any reason due to EMIRATES policy ,Ive found out 80% of candidates failed somewhere along the line , is there anything wrong with us ,really?? isnt it fair to know at least the reason for out failure after all the effort money and time involved so we can at least we can learn from it?? ,I honestly believe I did quite a decent job and I could not do much better.
Just wanted you to know whats going on there ,I believe something is going on there .
Thanks guys good luck.

pablo2973, commiserations and better luck next time. There is always another open door as one closes. Take sometime to look around carefully or perhaps you might have to use another "key" to open that same door (EK) you want to get through.

One of my greatest life experiences is that failure is a sign of effort and I would never point a finger elsewhere to justify it but rather to myself (one finger points away as three fingers point back at you). It's never colour, race, religion, et la but rather I not being good enough on that occasion. So I have always prepared well for this sort of thing to give myself the best possible chance to succeed. There is no way an exceptional candidate can be turned back even if there "is something there" as you have put it. So don't give anybody that chance if you think so. Now that you know what to expect at the assessment, give yourself enough preparation and overwhelm the assessor and the rest will be history.

That aside, I know of many pilots Emirates has recruited from Africa more recently. I can understand your disposition on why success hasn't turned to your side but it might be a question aptitude on the day of assessment and nothing to do with your personality at all but meeting the challenge before you on assessment.

Emirates needs pilots from any part of the world and if their requirements are met they will take you.

this section of the forum is more for people looking to get into flying, not switch jobs as direct entry, best off posting in the Middle Eastern forum, though be warned, you should not expect to be welcomed by anyone there with open arms ...

Thanks for your time to my letter I really apreciate your words, good luck to you too,I will keep searching my goal elsewhere as you said,thanks once again.
