At the last minute, I heard about a walk-in open house for Emirates. They are hiring more crew as they are getting a lot of new planes this year and need more flight attendants. I had tried out for them 4 or 5 times since 2005 but never had any luck getting past the open house.
This past weekend, I went along and I made it past the open house, to the group callback and finally I received an invitation to the final interview! I had that yesterday morning and they said I will know within 2 weeks if I am moving to Dubai! Wow it went so fast and was unexpected, my head is spinning! Of course, this all depends on my passing a (very thorough) medical test which I don't anticipate any problems with! I loved my interview outfits if I do say so myself, sadly I was so caught up in wanting to pass that I forgot to take any pictures!!!
First day I wore a pretty 60's-inspired shift dress with a black and white print along with a more traditional black suit jacket and patent black high heels. The second day I wore a black suit, white shirt and a pretty red-and-black equestrian print scarf (I do have a picture of that!) and the third day kept it simple with black jacket & skirt with a white shirt.
So that's my big news for this week! Oh, one more thing. The lady told me that a few successful applicants will be chosen after training to start right away flying on Emirates' flagship plane, the double-decker A380! How excitement!
