Becoming EMIRATES Cabin Crew (part I)
You’ve seen my previous post “Becoming Cabin Crew“?
Now, that we have a hint where to start in this aviation career, this post will give you an idea how such airline conducts their recruitment procedure.
In behalf of my brother-MGA, we want to give you an overview how he was able to reach the training period of Emirates Airlines. If you’re eyeing for this airline, then this will be a good guide for your future application.
Emirates Airlines conducts mass hiring in selected country. Since, Emirates is from UAE, they’re mostly conducting mass hiring in their nearby countries like Bahrain. As frequent as twice a year they are having this schedule of recruitment. They are usually posting it in the local newspaper or on their website.
If you already have a target date to attend on their mass hiring, then it is advisable to fill-up the on-line application form Emirates. Be sure to have your detailed resume & family information with you upon filling-up this form, because this will require a lot of information. Anyway, if you missed certain info, you can update your data from time to time. You just need to remember your application number (account information – email & password). If you pass the entire application process, you will be using this filled-up form too.
Preparation for the Selection Date…
Appearance – Pleasing personality is one of the requirements for the position of 
cabin crew. It is an advantage if you will show yourself in a very neat & pleasing appearance on that day. As much as possible you shouldn’t have that much pimples in your face & you’re arms should be free from allergies or scars. For girls, apply some make-up on your face. Don’t wear too heavy make-up. Just apply some colors on your face that you will feel comfortable & beautiful as well. Tie your hair as if you’re already a flight attendant. For boys, have a haircut on the day before the selection date. You need to be careful as well in choosing the accessories that you’re going to use – accessories from shoes to jewelries. This LINK will give you more précised information in choosing the right attire for the big day. As for me, nothing goes wrong in aligning your personal appearance into two words – NEAT & PROFESSIONAL. Remember, first impression lasts!
These are some important things Mark considered upon the preparation for the recruitment day;
1 – Got a hair cut the day before the recruitment date.
2 – Prepare the suit. Find the right color combination of Polo & neck tie.
(Tip: Light colors give a light impression to the dresser.)
3 – Clean the face. Shave mustache if necessary. Have a concealer that perfectly matches the color of your face. This will be a great help in covering dark spots on the face. For men, asked somebody to teach you how to apply concealer on your face.
4 – Visit a dentist & clean the teeth on the day before the selection date.
(Tip: It always feels good to smile, when you knew that you have white & clean teeth.)
5 – Clean your fingernails.
Documents – Emirates will ask you to submit resume (with passport picture), passport copy & whole body picture on the selection date. Now, with these pictures, it is also an advantage if you will set a specific date for yourself to have a nice photo shoot. Well, digital picture might be a great help in some point but don’t edit the picture that much. For the whole body picture, you should wear as if you’re going to their selection day itself. Do not make an unusual pose on the picture. Just stand straight, relax & smile.
The resume must emphasize that you are capable for cabin crew’s major responsibility – high standard of customer service. Like the impression you want to set on the recruitment day, the resume should go along with that too.
This is the format what Mark did in his resume. He specified his major responsibilities in his job details & his achievements as well. Since you’re applying for flight attendant position, then, responsibility & achievements should have connections with the flight attendants’ duties & responsibilities.
Research & Study – Many of us presents ourselves in a job application event without “proper” preparation. MGA & I have been in job haunting experience for so many times & we realized how important it is to do certain preparation beyond a normal one.
When MGA, got a schedule for this Emirates Selection Day, we took time to searched some important information in the net that we felt would be needed. Well, it’s not really hard to analyze what would be needed on the selection day (or in any particular job application event). This list has been our guide every time we’re doing this process;
1 – Company’s basic information – This includes certain information on the history, core values & mission/vision. Know the idea, how this company performs in its industry. In such way, if they will ask you in the interview about your career objective/goal, you can in-line it in the company’s future objective too. Remember, companies will hire for someone who they feel will be a better contributor on their team.
2 – Details on the position you’re applying to – This, I may say the most important one. This is usually the subject in the job interview procedure. So, as an applicant, it is better if you fully understand the duties/responsibilities of the job position that you’re eyeing for. You may also want to include an idea of the salary range for that position. Most of the companies include in their questionnaire the salary range an applicant is looking for, & most of the times applicants where confused on how to deal in this question. It is better if you we’re able to gather an idea for the salary. In that way, if they will throw you a question regarding this, you know where to start your negotiation.
3 – Sample of interview Questions - Internet has been the most powerful tool when you’re looking for certain information. Just includes these words in the search engine – SAMPLE, INTERVIEW QUESTION (specifically for that JOB POSITION) – & holla! You’ll definitely find a link that will lead you on those questionnaires. Print it, read, study the questions /answers & finally, PRACTICE!
I found a perfect site for the aviation career – ALWAS BE PREPARED FOR INTERVIEW . This was just MGA’s reference as he prepares himself for the Emirates’ selection day. With regards to Emirates information, we just refer to their EMIRATES GROUP CAREERS site.

Hello,
Ola,
I really want to be emirates cabin crew.
Is there any more tips, could you put them up or email me. Please put details of ALL the steps on the assesment day.
please
thanks
I have applied for emirates for more than 10 times i go to the interview and i fail, i have a problem with the group discussion, but this is my dream to be a cabin crew with emirates family.. what should i do? any advise ?
hi emmy!
welcome to “THE JOURNEY”
with regards to your concern, im quite confused on your question. At what stage you received a goodbye note? on the stage of group discussion? but you mention there about interview..is that the final interview?
anyway, did you checked my post “Becoming EMIRATES Cabin Crew- Selection Day”? I mentioned there that according to MGA, during the group discussion, an applicant should learn how to deliver his/her own opinion nicely without offending other’s opinion. But this not necessarily means you just need to get along with other’s opinion, its better if some cases you’re opinion is different from others.
i hope this enlighten you in some way..
regards!
Hi,

This interview includes the panel group discussion & one-on-one. Do we have a less chance or an advantage for both of us to get hired? Please reply me as soon as possible because I still have a chance to change my date instead on saturday, i can be on sunday. And my husband will remain on Saturday. I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
Thank you very much in advance..Have a nice day..
hi shirlene,

Now, i do not mean any offence to this crew. But he is not exactly slim. Now, I am not going to be predujice or whatever but if youre thinking “oh I weigh x and I cant lose x”…this shows they hire a wide range of people. Ek mainly look for quality, their personality not their looks.
Sorry…
hi anne i want to be cabin crew for only emirates, u know this is my first and last wish befroe i die belive me now i have problem that my education is only 12 but also dont have a background of like related field but im lookin fare and also good in english but u know tell me if i will join the emirates crew traning college then it wil be helpful for me ???
…to join the emirates crew training college?! i got confused there..anyway, as far as i know, to enter in EK training a certain individual should pass the selection day, final interview & medical examination. just check on the links under CATEGORY 5 you might get informations that might enlighten you, especially the post BECOMING A CABIN CREW.
Hi Annie! Just wanna tell you that I got the final approval email this morning for a Jan joining date! thanks so much for all your help. Your blog has really been a source of valuable information. Now that I have hurdled over the application process, can you share with me how the first few months are like? I bet ill get super homesick so how do newbies cope?
hi my name is abhrojyoti karmakar from india………and i have been try to work for emirates for 2 years ….but failed .
I have applied several times through internet but no reply.
can any one help me to be a cabincrew with emirates
Yep Annie. Emirates do not discriminate. Just recieved a damn big email from my cousin who is nearly in his 3 week of training. He is loving it and mentions he has lots of home-based assignments. Nice apprtments blocks but too much traffic. If anyone has questions, I can put them to him like Annie to MGA regarding training. Annie – what was MGS’s prelim. flight on Graduation day?
Thanks Anways
hi annie, i got the job for EK, i fly in december, im really worried about money though, i herd some people saying take at least £1000 for the first couple months, i was wondering how much of your own personal money you wud need for the first few months or does the wage emirates pay tie you over ok. i will want to buy bits and bobs for my room, a couple cushions a throw for the bed and hopefully have 1 or 2 nights out a week but will i need £1000 for this. please please help
EK Provide all well most of the furnitatre-y stuff for your. They apparently also give you a start pack, including ironing board, cutlery, dinner sets,starter food pack. Also, if you have an old hand appt mate chances are you have lots of stuff like TV’s,Toaster blah. My cousin took around a grand, however Emirates will provide you with 2500Dhs when you arrive, but 2000 will be deducted in the first couple months wages’.
Hope it helps.
P.S: Its easy to blow everything in Dubai Nightlife. LOL-My cousin can’t drink alcohol or go to nightclubs so he’s saving all the pennies for a shopping spree in Carrefour!!!!!!!
hi annie! u got a very great page here! hereby,i would like to ask u couple of questions. i’ve made tru de finals for EK,and right now,i would like to know what they provide and wht should i bring there?opun arrival,will they give us some money?where do we stay?Is MGA ur hubby? pls reply! thanks a lot!(reply to my email)
I think I can reply to some of that.
MGA is Annie’s Brother not husband!
You get given appartments plotted around Dubai, you will find out once you arrive. Usually on Sheikh Zayed Road. They tend to be modern ones and yiu have to share them with 1 or 2 people, same sex due to Islamic Laws,similar nationality. My cousin is with a Business Class crew.
They give you DHS2500, of which 2000 will be minus-ed in your first couple of wages. Take essentials, take a camera if possible, take what you think is a neccisaty and would take if were moving house to another country. 50kg is the limit. On PPRUNE members reckon you should take 1000GBP.
Thanks!
thanks alot for the replies!~
hi annie n ahmed!
don’t mind telling me,what do they meant by (04photo with the size of 3×3.5CMs? what do they want? formal attire or casual?) to submit it once arrive in Dubai.like head to toe or just half body? hope u able to answer my question! Thank u so much!
sorry! missed out (background colour)? is it in blue or any?
i want to be a part of emirates but i think its my bad luck that i couldnt get work in emirates
Have youi been employed by Emirates or are going to an open day?
If they have accepted you, you need 24 sky blue background pics.
Annie will explain more…won’t you Mrs…!
How you doing matey- Wahey you reached your 10,000 mark *hint hint*!!!muhaha
Many Many Congratulations on your wedding, and pass my congrats to the Mr and Yoanna” xXx
Nads- Do not give up…that’s all I can say.
hi miss annie, could you please give me your email add? meh ssabihin po sna me sau about this career, eh mejo personal kse.. =) tnx po!
what should i wear on an open day interview? a business attire or anything casual?
business attire..like what i’ve said in BECOMING EMIRATES CABIN CREW – PART I Apprearance is one factor..Either your applying in Emirates or in any other job application / company.. being Neat & Proffesional will always make you different from other applicants.
Hi Annie
How are you
This blog looks very helpful, I am new to this blog. I just wanted to ask you a question.
If you have been recently married and have been accepted into emirates as a cabin crew what would be ALL the options available to us in terms of accomodation? Does emirates support you in terms of finance, or is it half-half or can your partner live with you in the apartments?
Would marriage be an issue?
Would it be a problem that you are married.
Hey
Thank you so much for your prompt response, really appreciate it.
I guess in general I want to know if you want to apply to live outside with your spouse for obvious reasons if Emirates will pay accommodation allowance for me at least in terms of the rent & etc… if so how much approx?
I was informed Emirates even do that for singles if they decide to live outside the Emirates facilities. ( I don’t know why you would if your single) hehe I want to know if this is true?
I just want to know my options in terms of accommodation if living with spouse.
Married life wouldn’t affect my career it will be more difficult but this has been a dream of my since I was a little girl and I am fully ready for it! My spouse is very supportive and we both love Dubai!
By the way are there other crews that are married? it will be interesting to know how they have settled into Dubai?
If you can tell us anything else in regards to accommodation please do so as we are confused!
All the best, Take Care
Can I also ask another question, I am aware that you don’t get flying time till you finish your training which means you are only paid your base salary for couple of months, so does this mean from the third month you should be getting your full salary, base+flying time?
also I was told we fly 70-80 hrs a month approx? That’s not much…how is that calculated.Is this true? doesn’t that make you sort of part-time….depending on your rosters ofcoarse.
oh yea can you explain what “Layovers are” how they work. so sorry for all the questions but I guess that’s why this blog is here to help us all!
yeah thanks, it would be good if you could find out from him, also about the salary as well mentioned on the top.
Cheers
Sara
I heve’nt experience in the airline because I was studying university ;;;
the third context and last I Can to complete the studies in the College of Aviation commanders and work together, and what graduation certificate _ I am particularly devoted economy .
Thank you ………WAIT
This was the culprit. It took me awhile to find out that this post alone along with all of its comments are too much for the importer to handle.
But we got it!!!

Hi,
I’m currently staying here in Dubai, and I’ve heard that there are walk-in interviews where you could drop your resume in Dnata every Sunday. Is this true? I plan to go on Sunday, and if so, should I talk a lot and sell my skills to the interviewer? Do they still hire male cabin crew? Thanks in advance!

Salamat!

hi annie,
pinaka-unang international aircraft na sinakyan ko papuntang abroad (Dubai) ay EMIRATES Airline.
hindi ko makalimutan ang unang biyahe ko palabas ng pinas kaya hanggang ngayon, EA pa rin ang pinakapaboritong airline ko.
lagi kita nababasa sa forum natin pero hindi ko alam na former FA ka pala.
Sensya na rin at ngayon lang ako nakadalaw sa blog mo.
MARU’s last blog post..Bituin Ang Itawag Mo Sa Akin
Hi Annie,
I have attended numerous assessment dates of EK here in Manila and as it turned out, I always get a goodbye note every after group discussion. I have tried several tack ticks on how to pass that level, from not sharing your thoughts to expressing your thoughts and even tried just giving out A single idea about the topic…name it I’ve tried it. Even the advices that you posted here. I have not graduated college, worked with an international contact service company as CSR, and even managed the operations of a certain resort in the visayas. Despite the customer service background that I have (I have that pleasing personality [as what most of the people that I meet said]and have always had that smile on my face), still I am not successful. I tried EY as well but their affiliate manpower agency told me that it is a strict policy with them to only short list those who have attained a diploma in college(graduate).Its just too fraustrating.What else can I do to be able to get in? I am now having my training with International Air Transport Association (IATA) Training and Development Institute in Singapore for “Airline Cabin Crew Training” hoping that it will help me getting the job. If you have any other inputs, please…please…let me know. Thank you….

hi annie
i just attended interviews yest, but im not one of d lucky one to get into final interview anyway. i guess the interview we undergo is diff from other countries (after wat i read the process of selection from the forum)
well, i failed the screening n assessment stage.
is that a consequences of just contribute a bit in the whole ssession of group interview..??? we started at 9 smth, n dey select 15 applicants out of 64/65 candidates on screening assessment round 2 ( 3 pm ++). n they divide into two groups.. im one of d group 1 wit bout 7 candidates.. unfortunately i did not pass thru that round .. its pretty disappointed though, coz like wat i mention from 1st to 2nd till 3rd.. n all this while waiting n keep on compete , by d end of d day couldnt reach final stage..
p/s:there are few applicants who r fluent in eng n gd at giving opinions n they did not make it to 2nd round which is screening stage.. its pretty surprise huh?

Hi…
Can somebody help me please? I would like to join the assessment day in Houston which takes a place on 20th of September, I booked a place but I am not sure how it works? I clicked on the link for the Houston assessment day and then I put my information filled the form etc. I think that’s how it works. But I thought they contact with you to invite you for the assessment days/open days, But I haven’t heard from them yet. I just want to make sure how it works? DOes somebody have any idea? I was checking it with my friends and she told me that I just need to go there (it’s like a seminar-the open days) and then you meet with the recruitment team then they decided to have an interview with you or not? Is that how it is? Please help mee, pleaseee…Thansk so much..
Hi Nly,
It’s a Global Assessment Day that’s about to happen in Texas on Sept . 20 ..
As noted in my recent post;
http://annie-thejourney.com/?p=1004
(which is also in reference of Emirates official website)
Global Assessment Days
Interviews are by appointment only. Apply on-line by clicking on the destination link below. Alternatively, forward your application via mail to: Emirates Airline, Emirates Cabin Crew Recruitment, P.O.Box 34211, Dubai, UAE
It’s either you apply online or mail your resume to Emirates Dubai office & wait for the invitation.
Since it’s just few days from now, you can call Emirates Recruitment Department to double check your online application & verify if you have invitation on the said date..
goodluck!
Hello Annie,
is there anyway you can ask someone already employed,maybe MGA, about how much was the salary increase they recieved thier first year in May for both the FLYING RATE and BASE PAY??
and about how much was the bonus?
Thanks soooooooo much,
Dana

These blogs have been very useful and comforting that its just not me going through the anticipation!!
Hope i get that final confirmation soon
xx Ilyn
So I have sent in my application and am waiting to hear back. My boyfriend and I are hoping to relocate together, he does architecture and is excited about how much work there is for him in Dubai. My question is we are planning on getting married before we move and was wondering if anyone knew how much the housing allowance was if you don’t live with another Flight Attendant?? Just wanted to get an idea of how much we can budget a month for a place to live. Thanks so much in advance!
Jen
Hi!
Im about to go for my first interview as cabin crew for emirates in a months time. However my only concern is this. I am married and have read in different internet forums that married females do not make it through the interview process because they are married. I was devastated when i found out. Please tell me this is not true!!
am I wasting my time just because im married??
P.S: My husband and i can accomodate ourselves when we get there IF i make it, so im not concerned about that I can make sure i am not of any extra charge to the company :\
Hi
I just had my final interview with emirates and I am waiting for the golden call. We were about 17 left for the final one of one interview. Do you know how many they usually take at that stage?
I want this job so much!!!!!
Also at the training at the emirates aviation college, how is a typical day? is it like like a 9 hours day 5 days per week?
thanks!

I have my interview with the emirates in 2 weeks what kind of research do you have to study for i know its the back ground on the company what else do i need to know that will help me im very nervous, i hoep you can help me.
HI ANNIE & DANA,

Im going to NY for the open day assesment next week NOV.2. after i sent my resume, emirates e-mail me back after a week…but im so confused because i passed my resume on the 16th of nov. which is by invitation but they want me to come on the 2nd of their open day… so my question is after the open day and you passed, is that mean the selection day is the day after ??????? im confused because i dont know how long im gonna stay in NY and i can’t stay too long coz im still working…. ^_^….. thanks so much!!!!

Hi,
I wanna try being a flight attendant, I shaved my hair off can i still apply as a cabin crew? or they only hire men with full grown hair..
Thanks!
Hi Ms Annie,
I wasn’t able to attend the interview in Shanghai last Nov 8 since I just received the interview invitation last Nov 6.
Shanghai is too far frm where I am staying now and need to take a plane to be there..Do u think I can attend in Hongkong if any interview will be conducted there in future?
Do you also have their interview schedules for 2009?
Thanks a lot & GodBless.
hi there, u r doing a great job in informing aspring flight attendant like me.do emirates cabin crew recruitment accept application by their postal address?? is it acceptable as it is acceptable to apply online?
hi ! just done with my final interview with emirates airlines. I did well with the interview but the only problem i have now is due to stress , my pimple pump out 2days before my interview.. BIG ONEs! one in the foreheap(visible) one on my chin…do u think this will affect the final result ?hehehe..
hello annie!
right now,im still waiting if for ipams’ confirmation email for dec.13th’s assessment day.. i was told that they would be checking if slots are still available.. then, a friend (now an emirates cabin crew) told me that they were told that emirates will no longer be hiring filipino citizens for the cbin crew position. how true is this? im really worried since employers come here every other month and since they’re comin on december, that probably would be the last? can you help me know if this is true? thank you.
Hi, – first of all thanks for the very informative information you are sharing. second, I went through the whole itnerview process and now just waiting to hear from them. It has been over three weeks, but nobody had heard from Emirates that went through the process with me (over 20 applicants). I have a good feeling however and thought I did very well. I will probably have to do the medical examination… could you please post what that entails and is it also some dental information etc…? I just had some bloodwork done in advance and it states that I am non-immune for Hep B, but I just got the vaccanation, so I will send it to them as proof that I just got it… do you think that will affect my chances…
As I said, I feel very good about my chances, but very stressful waiting sooo long… what is the reason for this long period of waiting and processing applications?
Thanks again, and I enjoyed reading everythings on this page, even as I was going through the interview process…
all the best!
long wait is indeed part of this Emirates application procedure. i know is tough..but that’s how they system goes…
it must have been hard to find right people that qualifies for international standard of service..
with regards to medical, check this link..

Thanks Annie for the reply. I keep checking your site very often, it is kind of therapeutic for me, especially with this long wait.
Today is the fifth week since the final interview and still nobody got contacted of the applicants who went with me through to the final interview.
Do you know if they will call or e-mail? Because of the time difference from Dubai to Canada, I assume they would e-mail.
Thanks again. I know I have great chances of getting the job, but still, waiting is really a killer. I know everybody goes through it, but can test the most patient.
All the best, and look forward to a reply,
Ryan

hello annie,
finally im attending the assessment on dec 13th, i just received an email from ipams agency here in Phl. i just thought of at least letting you know where im at as a sign of appreciation for this very beautiful site. ive been so paranoid for the last few months and annoying as well and now im really working hard in preparing for this saturday’s assessment. im quite nervous but im more of excited though. when i confirmed my attendance with the agency, i was told that only 60 of us will be attending on that day. the preliminary screening was really tough, i did my best to be what they wanted their applicants to look like and tried to be as smart as i can during the initial interview. please wish me the best of luck. by the way i was given the outline of what to expect on saturday so please let me share it to everybody.
What to expect:
1) A video presentation on Dubai, UAE, Emirates Airline and the job as a Cabin Crew.
2) An orientation about the host country – UAE, about the company – Emirates Airline, employment package and other information.
3) Q&A to give candidates time to ask questions and clarify matters regarding employment with Emirates Airline.
4) Stage 1 – Reach Test to determine if a candidate can reach the required height (212 cms.) of the Overhead Bin of the aircraft, including physical assessment where teeth, skin, and weight will be observed.
5) Self-Introduction and Group Discussion (Communication Skills and Interpersonal Skills).
6) Selection of candidates for the Stage 2 – English Proficiency Test
7) Selection of candidates who passed the English test for the Stage 3 – Group Dynamics (Listening & Decision-making Skills)
Selection of candidates who will be scheduled for the panel interview within 2 days, including personality test.
Hi ANNIE!!!Nice to c dis blog……..can u tell me how many days will it take to gt da contract papers n medical details once receiving da confirmation dat u hav been selected…….
Hello Annie,
Could you please tell me if you/your brother know if there are older applicants applying to EK ? I’m 42 — but look much younger !! I do not have previous FA experience, but many years with customer service in the tourism industry. I am american and speak french fluently. Thanks, S
Hi Annie! Sorry i probally have posted this but I can not find it…anyway. So is there maths on the exam? Is it just general times tabels and divison and money sums? or is it algerbra and all that silly useless stuff. And would it be ok to apply for two airlines at a time. And what happens if i was to get into both and i decided to turn one down. Cya
hi annie.. i was wondering my height is 163cm. am i still eligible for the cabin crew position coz i’ve seen in the website about 212cm? also i have applied other positions as well, will that affect th reapplication in case i didn’t make it? i have 4 yrs experience in customer service and in technical support. i really want this job and people around me have been telling that i won’t make it. can you give me an honest opinion about this. i would really appreciate it, thanks!
Thanks alot Annie. I feel much better now. I also read they rarely do the maths exam anymore unless they are doing mass hiring in places like the UAE and Qatar ect.
Is it a much more likely chance you will get the job if you have previouse experience as cabin crew and in customer service or hospitality?
Hi Annie!
Your website is really helpful for aspiring yet reluctant people like me. Just a question, do we really need to go through the selection process of IPAMS? I heard they’re quite superficial (looks first before personality) and this is mainly due to the fact that they want to present the best-looking girls for Emirates. Is this true?
I’d appreciate your response.
=)

Hi everyone,
Ok, so it’s the 1st week for me to start waiting for the call to see whether i made it into Emirates Cabin Crew, I know have 3weeks and a few days to wait in anticipation. Im freaking out because everything over the recruitment days went so well but at the end of the final interview, you know how you sit like a final iq test and you put down a start and end time. I ‘think’ I forgot to put an end time down, although the girls saw me come out of the room and cldv put down a time im so scared that this has ruined my chances! what do u think?
JANE
Hi … Ive been accepted and gave in my medicals…how long do they take to reply…its already been a week…and i m a bit scared coz of my notice period…i dont want to resign b4 they tell me to do so!
hi Annie
I just saw ur site while browsing through net–firstly i should say its nice to see people like u helping others selflessly—i jus wana know i have customer service experience of 7 years and my age is 32 i.e. 3rd dec 1976, am i eligible to apply–coz i checked wid other airlines the max age is 27, where as emirates has no mention of age restrictions on there site
thanks and best regards

I just found this site yesterday and I have been reading through your resources. Thank you for sharing all this information who are hoping to get into Emirates. I have been waiting for Emirates to come to Canada (Toronto) for the past few months. I’ve been so excited to see that they will have Open Days on Feb 21st until two days ago, there’s no links anymore. Does anyone know if they cancelled their recruitments?
HI Annie…I have been browsing through your site since yesturday…I found it interesting but do u know what nationality is Emirates cabin crew in dubai is looking out for in dubai….Is Emirates cabin crew still lookin out for fligh attendents in dubai itself…..
