Etihad cabin crew recruitment process
Dijanas Etihad cabin crew journey. Very informative. To you newbies out there, you will find some tips and tricks. You will get some insight into the recruitment process. While the recruitment process change a little bit year from year. The basics are still the same. The ''system'' is still the same.
Dijanas successful Etihad assessment and interview experience:
My Assessment Day was in Belgrade. It started at 8:00 in Hyatt Regency.
I showed up twenty minutes earlier. One recruiter from Australia was standing at the entrance of the hall. She had a list with our names so you should tell her your name or ID number.
I decided to wait for my friends, two lovely girls with whom I practiced my English and answers for final interview.
We checked in at the last moment and sat for a round table which was in the back of the room. Two recruiters were in the other room.They were taking the documents from applicants. During this process I was asked couple of questions ( what is my current job? about Wimbledon?) and I did the reach test (210 cm). (210cm is from year 2013. Today 2020 it is 212cm)

I was the last one with the number 96.
Then they made a presentation and gave us information about the company and Abu Dhabi. After that they asked questions in order to test our listening skills and then explained our first exercise.
They gave us 5 minutes to find out one interesting thing about our new friend who was sitting next to us. So, we should stand up and speak in front of the whole room:
Hello everyone. My name is .... and my registration number is ....I would like to introduce to you all my friend .....She works as a .....What I found interesting about her is ....for example that she loves pats, she would like to go skydiving, she likes to read and her favorite book is ....
After that we had an English test. Test lasted 15 minutes and had 4 exercises.

After that we had an English test. Test lasted 15 minutes and had 4 exercises.
I - elementary grammar: provided answers a,b,c,d and you should choose the right one
II - answer the questions about text: again provided answers a,b,c,d
III - text with missing words: you have a list with this words and should choose the right spot for them in the text
IV - answer the questions about the text but this time you should write down the whole sentence
Then the results...
They read the registration numbers and names and those who heard his/her name should leave the room. I was in the group, left the room and followed the others. We went to other room where they again read our names and then congratulated us. We passed, 50 of us.
The next stage, testing our teamwork skills.
Eight of us and one recruiter were sitting for a table. We got a task on the paper. One of the girl read the task and then we had to agree about the steps that we would take in that situations.
We were receptionists in 5 star hotel and we had a guest Mr. Smith who was complaining about the room. What would we do in that situation?
We were really good team and we all got through the final interview. We talked about apology, empathy, extra service (free of charge massage, spa treatments, special meals, free sports activity), about discounts, upgrades, VIP cards.
After this part of testing, they again read the names and registration numbers. But this time, if you were lucky to stay in the room you had passed this stage.
It was 13:00 o'clock and 33 of us made through the final interview. Some interviews were done that day and some people were asked to come back tomorrow.
Before interviews started they had made one more presentation. This time they told us about the conditions, salary, training...
I had interview that day and I was waiting until 18:00 for my turn. We could not go anywhere because we did not know when they would call us. The interview was 2:1, one recruiter was taking notes and the other was asking questions.

Emirates open day and assessment 2020
Recently I came across this very interesting and useful Emirates open day and assessment day. It is written by a candidate that went through this process. This candidate has written his experience in great detail, and that is why I wanted to share this. This candidate did not go all the way to the final interview, but he experienced a long way through the process. I find his experience very useful and interesting to read.
Hopefully this will be to some help for whoever reading this 😊

Emirates - Recruitment event - March 2020
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1) Beginning:
We were expected to be present at 09:00 AM at the Hilton Hotel in Antwerp. At that time we were with 40-45 people all together. Around 09:15 AM we officially started and unfortunately 3 girls came in late and were send home immediately (so be early!)
2) Registration:
The recruiter asked us to grab our smartphone and sign up and register on the the Emirates website (link below). We had to add our personal information on there with a photo (just any photo is alright, it's only for identification and you could still change it later). If you already created an account at home, you still had to visit the website, because we were given a special OD Code so the recruiter could immediately search for all created accounts, so she would have a full list of names as well.
This is the link: http://www.emiratesgroupcareers.com/cabin-crew/
3) CV Drop-off:
After registration we were asked to come forward to receive our number and tag (sticker with your number). At that same moment we also had to hand over our CV and immediately go back to our seat (the recruiter didn't go over our cv at that moment, so there was no time to say something or give a quick impression of yourself). Some people brought a passport photo as well, but this was not necessary. People who forgot to bring their CV were asked to write a little summery of their CV down on a paper and hand it over afterwards. In the link above from Step 2 you can also add your CV digitally, but it was also required to bring along.
4) Introduction:
The recruiter wanted to show us 2 introduction videos about Emirates and Dubai, however her laptop was facing issue. So she decided to tell us all about Emirates and Dubai herself and did a great job. The recruiter was very nice, represented the company very well and showed a lot of enthusiasm (and she was funny!)
5) The first assessment:
At this time it was about 10:15 AM and we were divided in 2 groups of 22-23 people each group. We sat in a circle and were paired in couples. The assessment was to get to know your partner a little bit better and introduce them to the group, by asking the following question: "What's your favorite movie, and why? If you don't have a favorite movie, what's your favorite song, and why?". I did not expect this question at all, but it was a super fun way of getting to know your paired up partner. I expected to receive a card with an image and 4 questions that you could talk about with your partner, but that didn't happen. We were given about 10 minutes to talk to each other and afterwards introduce each other to the group.
6) What happened:
Each couple introduced their partner. Some people only needed 30 seconds to introduce their partner and tell about their movie, and some were talking about 2-3 minutes until the recruiter stopped them. Overal I thought everyone did a nice job listening to each other and introducing each other. There were a lot of fun and enthusiastic personalities, but you could definitely see that everyone was very nervous. I also noticed that most people were talking about "what happened in the movie" instead of 'why the person likes that movie", or what personal experience the person has with that movie (example was given: this is my favorite movie because it reminds me of Christmas with my family).
7) After 20-25 minutes:
The second group went in and did the same assessment. In the meantime the first group had some time off to chat and connect with each other.
8) The result:
Around 11:30 AM - 11:45 AM the recruiter came outside of the room and posted a list of numbers of the candidates who made it to the second round. Out of the 40-45 people only 11 made it to the second assessment. Unfortunately I failed even though I felt like I did a great job. I was aware of my smile, body language and chose to keep the introduction short and detailed.

Hopefully this will be to some help for whoever reading this 😊
