Rating: +2 Applicants are to be 21 years old minimum to apply for a Cabin Crew position with Emirates. Rating: +1 Minimum arm reach of 212 cms (on tip toes), which will enable you to reach emergency equipment on all aircraft types. Rating: +1 You will need to be educated to at least high school standard. Rating: +0 You need to be fit to join Emirates. They will ask you to provide an in depth, detailed medical file prior to joining the airline. You'll have to submit all sorts of blood/urinal tests as well as general check up. If successful, and once in Dubai, you will undergo a complete check up (blood/urinal tests) again with the company clinic. Rating: +0 No. Emirates only hires applicants with a minimum of TWO FLUENT languages. One of them has to be ENGLISH because the training and the company language is English only. You're have more chances to get selected if you speak Arabic. Rating: +0 Yes, definately. Background experience in a customer service related work environment is pretty much essential to get the job with Emirates. Although, previous applicants from other industries have got the job. It depends on how you get on during the interview. Your interpersonal skills then come into great appreciation. Rating: +0 Anyone who will be the sort of person who has the natural ability to provide excellent service within a team environment. Rating: +0 There's only one place to start your career with Emirates. Log on to http://www.emiratesgroupcareers.com/ and look for the menu button named “Cabin Crew Opportunities” on the upper menu. Read all the pages provided and then click the given link, and you’ll be taken to the online application form… You’ll have to create a Cabin Crew Application that they’ll refer to until you are actually successfull to join. Fill in every single thing they ask. It will take you quite some time. Never close the window until you’ve completed the whole form or you’re information won’t be saved. Rating: +0 After you’ve completed the form you’ll receive an automatic confirmation email with your reference number, password and what have you… If you fit in what they are looking for they will send you an invitation to a Open/Assessment Day nearest to your home. Rating: +0 You’ll be given a date, time & place via email if you have applied online. Usually a conference center or hotel with conference rooms near an international airport. Rating: +0 - Updated CV in English ONLY Rating: +0 Well, this depends on the Recruitment Officers, but certainly that's a negative start to your career with Emirates. They will most certainly remember your face, and send you home early. Rating: +0 It's mainly vocabulary and understanding of English along with a small essay. Nothing to worry about if you've taken English at high school Rating: +0 You’ll be given a group number in which you’ll have to evolve within a group discussion on a given topic/situation. The aim here is to see if you’re likely to develop and react well in a group/team. There’s no right or wrong answers, you only have to dose your contribution to the group in a good way, politely with confidence and without interrupting your colleagues. Reacting to their opinions and balancing with yours… Recap, recentre the discussion if necessary, you and your team will have to focus on the objective given by the recruitment officer. She will take notes during the whole process and she will then ask if you have all agreed on the situation/topic and will invite you to wait outside while she takes a decision. Rating: +0 As part of your Job Package, Emirates will provide you with free accomodation from the date you join the company. You'll share your 2/3 bedroom flat with 2/3 other occupants. Each occupant will have their own bathroom (few exceptions). The flats are fitted with furniture, kitchen appliances (washing machine, cooker, fridge, dryer etc...). There are almost 40 buildings in which Crew are in. These are scattered around the city. Rating: +0 At your Open/assessment day, you've chosen an Annual Leave Destination (ALD), this destination should be the closest Airport to your home which Emirates flies to. This is the where they will fly you from for free. Later on, your ALD will entitle you to an Annual Leave Ticket (ALT) free back to your home country. All other charges from your place to the closest Emirates Destination Aiport will be at your sole charge. Rating: +0 Yes, once you land into Dubai International Airport, you'll be greeted by the Marhaba Girls, they'll be dressed in Yellow and will cruise you through the airport customs with priority so you don't have to wait in the queues. They will then lead you to pick up your luggage and proceed to an Emirates HR representative. You'll be asked to give your passport and give your details. That same Emirates rep will then hand you over to the driver who in turn will take you to your accomodation. Rating: +0 The whole process should take around 4 to 7 weeks. You'll get a call from Human Resources and they will tell you that you're successful. If you're not successful, you are most likely to receive an email within 2 weeks after Final Interview. Depending on how busy the Recruiting team is, these can be delayed. Don't panic, instead call them after 6 weeks and ask about the progress. Rating: +0 Ahah, the trick is : wait for the robot to say, "press 0 (zero) for assistance", you'll then be directed to a desk. Ask them to transfer you to "CC new joiners". They will be the one taking care of your file. Rating: +0 Shouldn't be too long if your medical file is complete. However, if they're missing something, they will most likely put your file to one side. If you don't get any call or email from them after 3 weeks and your joining date is getting closer, please do give them a call and ask. They deal with hundreds of files each week and can get lost sometimes. Persist in calling if you don't get through. Rating: +0 Please check their website http://www.emiratesgroupcareer.com for dates & venues for Open Days in your country. This applies for any country by the way !! Rating: +0 Advanced is what they're looking for. Rating: +0 One applicant should have at least English fluent and another mothertongue. This is due to the english speaking environment at Emirates. The training is also provided in english. Rating: +0 Your passport photo doesn't need to be in Blue Background. Only the passport photos you provide. Rating: +0 Yes I will continue updating you guys ! For your interview in Dubai or Bahrain. If you haven't been selected in other countries, please wait 6 months to retry. Your details are kept in a database. The next time they come to your city they will let you know ! Rating: +0 You speak English, Arabic, Portuguese, French, Hindi, Japanese & have a diploma in customer service + 15 years with an international brand working in a team environment, most probably as a team leader. Then you have a lot of chances ! Rating: +0 - 20 passport photos... no headgear, no neck wear, with a smile. Rating: +0 Rating: +0 If you are married, this is probably why. Emirates only try to hire "Single" cabin crew. This is due to the cost of having to fly an entire family over and accomodating them when they can only fly & accomodate one person. They do not check for your swimming at interviews (unless stated otherwise). But once in training you are expected to be able to swim a little at least (enough to reach a slide-raft, meaning around 25 metres), they will check it during a planned emergency called Ditching, where you'll be sent into the freezing cold water of the pool.... Otherwise, recall your interview, if you were overconfident, that's probably another reason. Yet again I DO NOT HAVE THE CRITERIAS, so this is a hard question to answer ! Rating: +0 A tattoo with Emirates is OK, only and ONLY IF it is below neck meaning underneath the collar (further away from collar the better) and above knees. Tattoos should NOT appear at any time under any circumstances. YES they will ask you if you have any tattoos during the interview, this is for post-mortem issues as they say. But of course it is also for them to know if it's OK. Yes many crew here have tattoos. Two girls from my batch got sent home (yes sent back to their home country) after the medical visit because their tattoo was showing and they didn't say. So be sure to say you have a tattoo or else try your luck, but don't blame them if they find out ! This is an illustration to show you exactly where you can have tattoos without worrying too much. Of course, the green part is the OK zone for tattoos. On the other hand, the red zone is the NO GO zone : Rating: +0 You have to reach 212 centimetres at least to be elligible for an application with Emirates Airline. I don't know the minimum requirements for other airlines. Rating: +0 By Visa, I think they mean passport. Not sure on this one though. Rating: +0 Pets are not allowed in shared Emirates accomodation. But if you plan to have your own home at a later stage you can bring them over. Rating: +0 Maximum age to apply for a position as Cabin Crew with Emirates is (to the extent of my knowledge) 36. Rating: +0 Maximum age for joining Emirates as Cabin Crew is 36. Rating: +0 Grade2 > Grade 1 > First Grade 1 > SFS (Senior Flight Steward) > Purser > SFP (Senior Flight Purser) Rating: +0 As Cabin Crew you must be fit to work long hours, be able to operate heavy doors, lift, shift and carry heavy stuff. Seek advice from your General Practician to know if you're fit to work as Cabin Crew. Emirates is not likely to hire underweight people. Rating: +0 The basic salary you'll get each month is 3985 Dihrams. Add to this your flying pay at 53.50 Dihrams per hour. A average month is around 80 hours. Also you allowances you entitled to at every layover (an example 600 dhs for a 24 hour Paris CDG). Your flat is payed for, as well as your water and electricity bills. Transportation to and from work is also provided. As for promotion depending on your sick days pattern, absences and performance, you should get promotion after 12 motnhs for each stage. So in theory you could become purser within 4 years ! Finally your training results do not affect your first flight. You'll start with 2 Turnarounds do close by cities then it could be anywhere ! Rating: +0 Yes. Rating: +0 Your full salary with BASIC + FLYING PAY is after 3 months. Before that you only get your BASIC because of training. Also deduct the 2000 Dhs they give you on your first day : 1000dhs the second month and 1000dhs the third month Rating: +0 No, training provided in its entirety by Emirates. As long as you height and weight are proportionate, you're fine unless medically unfit. Rating: +0 the questions will be about your previous experience with customer service. "how do you react to that situation. What is your goal within Emirates? How do you manage conflict? That kind of questions... Rating: +0 NO. some areas are more important than others like Heart issues, eye sight etc. You have a detailed form with all the medical requirements that you're doctor should sign and approve you "FIT TO FLY". If he didn't any problems then you are fine ! For the other question, so far haven't dealt with such issue, but in the event of puke we have SOLIDIZER, we sprinkle the designated area and the puke will turn into gelatine like substance, in turn very easy to pick up and also kills the smells. It's part of your job to ensure a clean, safe and frendly environment for yourself as well as for the passengers. You wouldn't leave a puke in the middle of the aisle anyway, or would you? Rating: +0 Emirates will provide you with your uniform the first or second day of the corporate induction. Bring more than one attire over. They will come in handy for your first week at Emirates. Rating: +0 I think there's pre-selection through a third-party agency, but I have no idea which company does it. No doubt the process is the same. They'll have to same criterias for sure. Rating: +0 If your medicals are ok in your country of origin, within the Emirates requirements detailed in the chart they have provided you and if your doctor says you're "fit" you'll be fine in Dubai ! Rating: +0 Your immediate family gets ID90 and ID50 tickets after your probation period. Rating: +0 Depends on how fast they want to hire, apparently these days, after final interview at the open day, they call the successful applicant within 3 weeks. Otherwise, bases on my experience, I waited 6 weeks for them to call me back. Then there's all the documents to produce and send to them, that will take you around 3 weeks in all. They will then decide a departure date for you, usually 1-2 months after they called you and said your were successful Rating: +0 Some applicants came to the Open Day without invitations and made it to Dubai, so I see no problem in you going there but strongly advise to go to an Open Day nearest to your home where ever possible. Rating: +0 If you managed to crawl your way through to the final interview, there's a good chance of you ending up in Dubai sometime in the future unless you were really not confident during the final interview. Rating: +0 nope. Rating: +0 Here's the list of vaccinations you'll need * MMR If you can't do them in your home country, they will provide you with jabs here in Dubai, don't panic if you haven't got them all. Rating: +0 Not that I know of. It's an Open Day, so anyone is free to show up. That's how it went for mine in Paris last year. Rating: +0 No maths test what so ever with regards to the Emirates Recruitment. But they expect a High School diploma, so they expect you to know how to count, at least. Rating: +0 Not as far as I know. But the harder you work, the faster you get promoted. Rating: +0 This test is a series of questions based on simple facts that will highlight your social profile as well as many other aspect of your personality depending on the answers you tick. This test is not disqualifying. It is only there for the recruiters to have a quick glance at your personality and prepare for the Final Interview. The test is also known as 16PF and is widely used in corporations around the world. I even had to do one while working as a Barman with my old employer (FrogPubs in Paris) ! You can google "16PF' and you'll find a lot more information. Rating: +0 Medical standards concerning VISON Acceptable if : - Distant visual acuity with or without correction is 6/9 or better in the better eye. If visual correction is required you must be able to use contact lenses suitable for long-term wear in the dry environment of an aircraft. Rating: +0 The training takes place as soon as you arrive in Dubai and lasts for 6 weeks. Rating: +0 It's all based on BMI (or Body Mass Index) calculate yours and check if you fit within those limits : - below 16 = underweight > unacceptable You can calculate your BMI here : http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bminojs.htm Rating: +0 Yes. MMI (Maritime Mercantile International) will process your Liquor License for 150 dihrams (they will let you choose from a selection of bottles when your License is ready). It takes around 30 days to process. MMI are red shops scattered around Dubai. You will find them at Mall Of Emirates, Sheikh Zayed Rd and many other places. Rating: +0 You'll be trained on B777-200 & 300 as well as A340-330. Rating: +0 No only one base, that is Dubai. Rating: +0 Rating: +0 Please go to www.emiratesgroupcareers.com for dates of next Open Days in your country. Rating: +0 ID90 : You pay 10% of the ticket price, but you're on a waiting list once you check in. Check-in will then issue you a boarding pass according to seat availability and maximum take off weight (or pay load). This means if a potate crate has paid for the trip the potatoes will get priority as they've paid full fare. Risky ticket. ID50 : You pay 50% of the ticket price, and you have firm tickets for your flight. You check-in as you paid full fare. You get your boarding pass as normal. Rating: +0 The topics vary from discussions to discussions. It will involve every one in the group resolving a given situation like "20 guests in a hotel having 15 rooms to spare"... some of the guests are celebrities, old people... etc. Give priority to one of those and tell us why. There's no right or wrong answers, it is just there to assess each group members ability to evolve in a team environment. Rating: +0 Check this link, you'll get all the info you need : http://dxbmiww99.emirates.com/hrrecruit/CC_OpenDay/CC_OpenDayList.asp?#0 Rating: +0 No differences. Job description is exactly the same from male to female. With the ratio of male to female being around 1 male to 9 female here at Emirates, aircrafts must have at least one male. Rating: +0 Yes. Short and presentable Rating: +0 No, Emirates accommodation is based on gender. You will have to find a place outside company accommodation to live with your wife. You will get a live out allowance. But seeing the yearly increases in rents for the past few years here in Dubai it is not a savvy move. And the allowance remains the same wether you rent a penthouse of a small bedroom. Rating: +0 Baggage allowance when joining Emirates as Cabin Crew is 50Kgs, if you exceed this, you will have to pay extra charges just like a usual passenger. You can also send your belongings via cargo and you will have to pay for it. Rating: +0 Depends on when their next scheduled Open Day / Global Assessment is planned. They should send you an email 2 prior to the event if your application was successful at this stage. Rating: +0 It is industry standard for male to have short hair and presentable. Long hair does not go along too well with dealing with food. Simply hygienic standards. Rating: +0 Yes, during the ditching scenario in Training. You'll have life jackets the whole time you're in the water. Rating: +0 Age limit as per my recruitment officer is 36. Rating: +0 Same as the first day ! Rating: +0 As previously answered in this FAQ, it is a requirement that you reach 212 centimeters of height on tip toes to be elligible for a position as Cabin Crew with Emirates. You will need to reach emergency equipment located at that height... Rating: +0 Annual Leave is 30 days per annum, 15 days in the first half of the year and 15 days the second. You can bid for as many days as you want. Have lets say a week of leave in April, then have the remaining days for that first six months later on (ie 7 days in June). Same goes for the seconf hlaf of the year. Rating: +0 Short, long medium as long as it is pleasing to the eye it's fine ! Meaning no dreadlocks people ! Rating: +0 When I bid for Paris (CDG) I usually get 3 of them. This is mainly due to the fact that I'm a Language speaker for the flight. Seniority and bid groups come into play too Rating: +0 I haven't heard anything that proves Crew can ask/take unpaid leave. Rating: +0 I suggest you get in touch with your once manager. She might be able to help you if you had a good relationship ! Rating: +0 You should be able to take these holidays if you're extremely nice to your manager. But do not hope for miracles. Rating: +0 No. If you speak the minimum of English it is ok. Another language is appreciated! Rating: +0 Yes it is possible. It is common to have different tickets for different legs of a trip depending on loads and wether you're trying to come back to Dubai for a duty. Rating: +0 You will need to be able to reach 212cm and be 21 years old at the time of application. Rating: +0 I stay at home. It's 15 minutes by taxi. Rating: +0 You should apply online and you'll get an invitation when the Recruitment Teams come close to your hometown. Rating: +0 Two cases : 1) You are married, you are entitled to pregnancy leave. Rating: +0 Not that I know of. Rating: +0 It depends on your BMI. Check your Body Mass Index first and find out if you fit within the requirements. Rating: +0 Business Attire is what they looking for. Be sensible and wear what you think brings out the business side of yourself. Rating: +0 Emirates all the way for me. Rating: +0 A smile is very important. Especially for Emirates. Rating: +0 As with all medical related questions, only your doctor and Emirates will have the final word on this one. I would give it a try. But please do state you have color blindness. There's no point in going all the way to Dubai to be sent back home. Rating: +0 I do not think so. Check with them at the next Open Day or Global Assessment Day. Rating: +0 I have no idea about moles. I would try my luck at the Open Days. The Recruitment Officers go beyond a simple mole I hope. Rating: +0 No. I only know about the Cabin Crew recruitment process. Rating: +0 Do it how the Cabin Crew do it here at Emirates : The almighty BUN. Rating: +0 No. But it's a plus when you're smile is beautiful Rating: +0 It shouldn't be a problem. Rating: +0 There's plenty of benefits ranging from a yearly profit share when there's no recession. No tax. Hourly flying pay + base salary (50.5 dhs per flying hour + 3955 base salary). You get fully insured. in-house clinic. and much more including free accommodation, transport and mutliple perks around Dubai as well as Staff Travel Benefits. Cut off age to my knowledge is 36. Rating: +0 Shouldn't be a problem. Seek advice when you're going throught the selection process. Rating: +0 If it's obvious you have a piercing they will most likely turn you down. If it's really discreet they probably let you go through. Rating: +0 You can get trained on A380 straight away depending on the demand. You will be able to transfer based on application and when positions are available (also based on seniority). You can quit during your training. But I think it comes with charges. You can get OUTSIDE accommodation on your own, at your own expense. But as a grade 2 you have to live with 1 or 2 other colleagues. Melissa at Tampax Towers got her own apartment because she is an FG1 (she works in First Class) and is eligible for single apartment. Rating: +0 You'll be attending a "Grooming Day" during your training. You'll be brifed on how to do your hair, make-up etc. Then you do it yourself according to the standards defined by the company. Rating: +0 I suggest calling Welfare Dept. They will be able to help you out more than I can. Rating: +0 Shouldn't be a huge problem. Liaise with your dentist. If you have a real nice smile, I think there's no problem ! Rating: +0 You will be wearing real clothes for the ditching and swimming part of the training. No swimsuits ! Rating: +0 Unless uncontrolable. It's okay. Within reason. Rating: +0 You'll be eligible to apply for outside accommodation allowance. Rating: +0 First round is the CV round and general posture. Make sure you get those two aspects right then worry about the rest.
