It all started one year ago, when I spotted by chance on local website (onet) an article about Emirates airlines starting Dubai-Warsaw direction flights and that they were carrying out recruitment for cabin crew based in Dubai. I already had a job in IT well-known company, had been married for a month (!) and had been living in Warsaw for just a 4 months right then. I liked my job, although it was not perfect, and definitely not so much well-paid, but it was stable, and with a future - as IT is a fast-growing sector not only in Poland.
I decided to attend open days just to feed my curiosity. I was absolutely not prepared for what I experienced there! There were approx 300 people, young pretty girls mostly, gathered in one place to follow their dreams. For some of them it was 4th or even 5th time attending Open Days! I was truly shocked, I admit it, I didn't realize how huge this venture could be.
And then it all started....
and I just fell into a trance by the presentation of the life in Dubai and the life EK cabin crew was leading...
It was so stimulating and fascinating! I started about dreaming about becoming an Emirates stewardess immediately... :)
Sooo, I dropped off my cv, came back home and in a few hours I got a call inviting me for the assesment day being held just the next day. I was very happy! I did not make it through that time and was rejected just after the first 'competition'. I was kind of surprised as I thought I did well (still do!), however, I got over it pretty fast and smoothly.
The whole issue kind of settled deep down in my head and after almost a year I attended AD again. Previous time I had met two very nice girls and we met again on another recruitment! This time I was successful all the way up to final interview, which was huge achievement and I was really proud of myself. One of the girls, Iga, made it too! Now we are waiting for a final decision from Dubai. It has been 5 weeks since I had the FI and it's getting more and more exciting now :)
As this post is going to be a little longer, and the whole topic is quite wide I will divide it into parts.
The next parts will be about my personal thoughts about the job & lifestyle in Dubai, recruitment process and whatever else would come into my mind :-)
