If they think they can train you in customer service they WILL DO IT !
-6 Passport Size (4.5x3.5 cm) Photographs > business attire, neatly groomed, looking gorgeous, no scarfs, light make-up for women, non for men !and most importantly SMILE (even french citizens should smile on those Passport photos).

Hey DJ Brazil,

I responded on your bIog. I am currently living in India and they do not have any Open Days up on the schedule here. They have a global assessment day but that is for people who speak indian languages(Bengali etc)

I am Irish and American! (I speak English and Spanish)

Do you know how I can find out about Open Days in Dubai and perhaps fly over for it? I am so anxious to join Emirates Cabin Crew! Do you have o speak Arabic?

Please advise. Thank you!

Hi! You're welcome!!! It's possible, but you need to apply on the internet and have someone overthere reference you to get that AD. I had my brother who works for the company reference me to his manager, thats the only reason why i went overthere for my interviews, plus they were'nt having interviews in Sao paulo Brazil during that time... Because its required to speak Arabic to have the interviews overthere, but sometimes they allow other people to go. Anyways, just try to submit your application to them and see if they will respond... Good luck!

Hey DJbrazil,

What sorts of answers do they expect from you?? and can you help me with it.

Just wanna reconfirm again on the open day, are we goin thru the initial test??

Many Thanks
Chris

Hi,

I will send you a private messege with some more advises about that!

Hello DjBrazil. I hope you're doing well. First of all, Thanks a lot on such an in depth information about queries regarding the Cabin Crew job. I wanted to ask you if you could provide a few answers from the questions that were asked in the interview? It could possibly give me an hint on how your answer should be. Regards. Good day.

HI,

WELL, BASICALLY YOU NEED TO USE YOUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND MAKE SURE TO HAVE ALL THIS ANSWERS IN THE TIP OF YOUR TONGUE AND BE HONEST ABOUT THEM, DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE IT TOO MUCH AND MAKE UP LIES… TELL THE TRUTH AND ALWAYS HAVE A POSITIVE CONCLUSION TO ANY OF YOUR ANSWERS… THINK ABOUT ALL THE ANSWERS AND WRITE THEM IN A PIECE OF PAPER SO YOU WILL MEMORIZE THEM, AND TRY TO ONLY REMEMBER THE POSITIVE ONES… AND PRACTICE THEM AT YOUR HOUSE BEFORE THE INTERVIEW IN FRONT OF A MIRROR, SO YOU WILL BE CONFIDENT AND NATURAL TO ANSWER THESE TYPES OF QUESTIONS AT THE INTERVIEWS!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Thank you so much DjBrazil. You have given your interview I understand and are on a hold at the moment in regards to a confirmation *I do hope you get it soon* :-) Another query that I have is, I have worked in the Automobiles Industry before, in Dubai that is. My brother owns his own Showroom and I was a Sales Representative there. Could that be mentioned in the part where you have to state your previous employment? should I ever mention that it was My own Family's company. Regards.
