Open/assessment day Brisbane Australia July 2010......
Hello Everyone just wanted to share with you my Open Day here in Briabne Australia. 17th July 2010.
So day started around 09:00am at Avaition Australia there was a turn out of about 350 people. All so Glamerous...
We were all taken up stairs and sat down, were had these two beautiful ladies Louise and Allanha, who would be interviewing us.
We were then shown a Viedo on Emirates and the culture.
After this we were asked what we new about Emirates etc... Then we watched another Video and then we had to ask the ladies questions...
After everything the ladies then told us the process and what would be expected over the next few days.. we were also told to removed any un-nessary paper work from our resume's as they had weight restirctions on their luggage when returning and to also attach one photo.
As time went by we were seen one at a time, and we had about 60secs to sell ourselves to the ladies and answer any questions they through at us.. Allanha did one side of the room as Louise did the other..
From this the ladies informed us that if we were successful to the next stage we would recieve a phone call by 05:00pm that day...
By the time i left it was around 01:30pm.. The rest of the day went soooo slow. Around 05:35pm i recieved a call asking for me to please return the following day @ 10:30am. And please wear exactly what i wore that day... being( a light gray suit with dark blue pinstripes, white under business shirt, full face of make-up, hair pulled back, i had it up and in a hair doungh-nutt with hair net, hair sprayed so no wispy bits showed, skin coloured stockings with court shoes+polished, red lip stick.
Arriving the next day i got there early just in case10:00am, once inside i found out that there was in fact three other groups one @ 09:00am mine @ 10:30 and another @ 11:00am... there was about 20 people in each group, so aroung 60 i think made it at this stage.
Once the first group had all the cuts there wasnt many that made it .... It was my time to shine ... So first up we were split up into 2groups, two circles of chairs, in each group we were told to talk amounced each other until they were ready.. we were then told to discuss with each person on our left their most embarrassing moment in life. Then we had to discuss it to the group clockwise. After this we were then called one by one up for a reach test, and asked if we had any tatoos or scars any where and if so where??? we then were told to wait down stairs until called back up..
We waited down stairs for about 6mins, onced called back up we were told to just come in stand around and one at a time we would be called up and given a slip of paper, on this paper it would state if we were successful or non successful... Me being #40, i got called and as i walked out i was terrified to look, but yay i had made it through again i was so happy....
Eventually we were then called back up to the room, being left in our group there was about 7 of us .. We then had to sit again in a circle and were given a topic to talk about. Our Topic this time was: We are all a commitee from the IOC. International Olympic Commitee and we had to discuss the next 2 up comming olympics, the london and the Brazil....
From these to games we had to take out 5sports from each, all 10 being different ones, due to the Golbal Financial Crises, we had to discuss which sports and why they were needed to be taken out??? throughout the whole discusions the ladies were watching all of us like hawlks.
After this we then went back down stairs and waited to be called up again... Second time round we were also given a slip of paper like the first and in this slip was the same information.. And once again i had been successful.. i was over the moon and also one of the gals in whom i had made friends with had made it all the way as well.. her being #41
So after this we were told to come back @ 01:00pm for another assessment. whislt group3 did there cuts..
A few of us headed out for a coffee and some lunch. when we returned the 3rd group was running way behind.. we ended up going back in around 1:50pm.,,
At this stage there were only 21 of us left out of 350.. WOW...
We were all then asked to come back up stairs and into a different room.. We were all then informed that we had all made it to the final interviews yay
We were all handed DVD's and alot of paper work, this all needed to be filled in so perfectly it wasn't funny...
We were then all told wat to wear the to the next interview, right down to the point, i'm serious it was full on, the lady used me as a example of what to look like i was like omg so embarrassed. After this we were all given 3 sheets of paper to choose our interview time for the next three days, Monday the 19th, Tuesday the 20th and Wednesday the 21st..
We all came to a decission that people who travelled to Brisbane from other states would go first and ten fill up anything after that,, i was placed on the Tuesday sheet @ 12:15...
After all of this We then had to do a test, it was a personality test and it took about 45mins to do, once finished this we gave it to the ladies and headed home for the day, "4:30pm".
Tuesday the 20th had finally come and i arrived quite early to my interview as thats what the ladies requested we do.
I got there aronf 11.30 and was seen very shortly after . Once inside we sat at the bigest table i have ever seen in my life, the sat accross from me while Louise asked me question Allanha wrote rappidly my answers, they were very impressed that i had all my documents and photos to profection and that they had all the boxes ticked on my application form. Some of the things i had to bring were one full legnth business attire photo, standing with feet together with left foot slightly back, hair up and very very neat. 2Casual photos smiling in all, as well as 6 pasport photo's so perfect as this would get us a yes or no for the job). ALso copies of every Cert i have ever gotten, Year`12 Cert, Letter of employment, all our application form's and 2 coloured copies of our Passport.
Some of the questions they asked me were to do with my currant job ( Checkin agent for VirginBlue).. from the questions they asked me the give spicific examples and what i said and as to what other said.. Some were
1.Have i ever had a conflict situation with a team member if so what was it?
2. Can you give us an example of when you went up and behond for a guest?
3. Can you give us an example of, have you ever suggested anything to better your team environment if yes what was it and was it implimented?
There was some more but i cannot really remember anymore...
From this the ladies then told me that i were successful and if i could take another test,
They lead me into another room and there Louise sat me down, told me i would be doing a aptitude test, there were about 180 questions i think all in sections, i had 30mins to do it but 45 if i needed it... when 30mins hit i would have to mark where i was up to, and continue... i finished it in 25mins .. i then went back and said my good buys ... all now i have to do is wait up to 6weeks,,, i hope this helps other.s thanks guys cause i now all your post's helped me x

@ Mari or any CC
What type of US visa does apply for cabin crew? The RO asked about US visa but didn't specify what type is required, I'm just curious if I need to get extra photos for this purpose if I already have one (B1/B2 type).
thanks!
thanks!

Hi Jess,
It just means the status when you log into the emirates website. At the start it is 'under review', then it changes to 'approval in progress', if they are going to approve you. If not your status will stay under review.
But im not sure if this is a 100% rule that it happens this way, it just seems like most people have a similar thing happen, but the waiting time between each change can be different.
Hope that helps!

Medicals
Hey guys boring medical question...
When they ask for your haemoglobin level is that all they want? or do they want red blood cell count.. white blood cell count etc etc?
sorry if it seems like a silly question, I'm confused.

tik and hopefulk
Nairobi AD.
tik you are very welcome to nairobi, i still feel nervous though am taking the advise here seriously, last time i tried a walk in they did not allow me however they took my c.v's en photos, i talked to the lady who was picking them( c.v en photos) and told her that that was my fourth time to give them my c.v and i have never recieved an invitation, she took my c.v en photo and looked at it and wrote down something........ and this time i got the invite.
from what i saw last time.... (i actually sat out there to wait and hear from those who were being intervied), the biggest group was dropped at the first round after the video. A lady who went through told me that some people asked about maternity leaves, pay, leaves and were all dropped. actually that lady who went through did not ask any question, and was very brief with her introduction. about looks i remember another lady (model) who also went through had a "mow hawk" and had cut her hair half way, but seemed very confident and composed.really you can't tell exactly what they look for. so be yourself and be confident....that am telling myself too
, as am also trying. lets hope we all make it.

Medicals for residence visa
Can someone please elaborate on the medicals required to obtain a residence visa once we have arrived in Dubai? Also, how long do they hold your passport for? It just feels a bit weird that you will have to surrender your passport to someone for an extended period of time...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Passport photo
Hi!
Just wondering for the passport photo that you upload for security documents on the candidate portal. Do you need to be smiling or closed mouth? also its say 4.5x5.5....but the ones you bring with you to Dubai are different and some have open/closed mouth depending on what visa it is for. So which one do you upload?
Thanks!
Millie
