After Final Interview...

The final interview was very intense with extremely specific questions on previous customer service experiences...but I could deal them pretty well and gave necessary information the recruiter was looking for. I went out of the lounge and felt really good and secure of myself, my gut told me I did my best...so guys, let's sum up my journey really quick:

Here is my updated agenda with EK:
1/29 Attended OD
1/31 Final Interview
2/19 Got a call from EK asking for more personal detail
2/24 Missed 2 calls from EK (was 2:23am!)
2/27 Received the Golden Call DOJ April 18th
3/02 Received the Employment offer email with all medical forms.
3/11 Medical forms sent and passport coopy sent to process my security.
3/12 Got an email confirming all document were received and will get back to me shortly.
3/24 Got another email telling me to kindly wait for final approval email.

Successful achievement

I attended the Open Day on Jan 29th and we started with 82 applicants and after the height test (which means you must reach out 212 cm with your arm and on toes, men with shoes and women without shoes) and groups discussion (2 topics) the number was cut down to 17 (amazing elimination though...some people felt so dismissed without any explaination), and unbelievablily I was among the 17!!!...then sometime later we started with the English Test for about 60 minutes, as you all know once the test result came up, there were only 13 survived...and again I am in. I finished the Psycometric test and I was invited to be there again at 8:30am for some more activity and elimination process...the 2 recruitment ladies are so friendly and easy access persons...one from Australia and the other from Iceland...both are wonderful.

Next morning Jan 30th, I sucessfully passed the second group discussion on a such a tough topic and situation...and we started with 13 and now only 10 of us are going to Final Interview, the last stage. But no more elmination until we get the "Golden call" from Dubai...so we are all going to the final interview under a different schedule. We are only 4 males and 6 females...and I encountered my ex-collegue among the 10 finalists!!! What a coincidence!!! Both of us are in, and we have passion to be flight attendants...and now seems like the reality has become true, well quite a bit. I am looking forward to hear from Dubai after the final interview, and hopefully not having to wait that long like others.

Finally, I was invited to attend the final interview on Jan 31st...well groomed and prepared! See my invitation letter from Emirates. Coming up sum up my journey with Emirates strict selection process...

Creating my first blog!

Hello people!
Very excited to welcome you to my blog, I will start editing and updating this journey as much as I can. Finding myself on the way to explore my career as flight attendant (cabin crew) with Emirates Airlines in United Arab Emirates! Let me set out my journey starting with Costa Rica, my second home country.

I was born in Taiwan and have been living here for 11 years, holding dual nationalities, taiwaness and costarican at the same time. It's been a drag thinking of being flight attendant and be able to fly around the world, visit and explore different countries, cultures and people. I love planes so much and always wish someday become one of those cabin crews working on the plane...well, this dream stays in my heart for a very long time until January 2008 I attended Emirates Airlines first Open Day (Recruitment event) in San Jose, Costa Rica. I must thank my current coworker "Kathya", she was the one mentioned to me that the newspaper had a such advertisement with Emirates Airlines looking for Cabin Crew on January 29th 2008 10:00am. Suddenly, I was in shcok and talking to myself "Oh my goodness, this couldn't be true...am I dreaming or what?" Emirates! One of the best airlines in the world coming to Costa Rica to hire people to be part of their International Cabin Crew team.

How could I loose this great chance! So I applied inmediately online and since then I became so vicious on researching information about Dubai and Emirates Airlines.
