Questions & Answers 1

1. Do you think that the company will still be recruiting in 2019 with the same frequency that it does right now? I think so. Why not. Crew still come and go and because of that they will still need new joiners.

2. How expensive is life in Dubai? Dubai is expensive city, similar to NYC, Tokyo or London. What makes the difference is the fact that your accommodation, as well as all the utilities and transportation to and from work is provided by the airline. Your only costs will be mobile phone, internet and food. And on layovers you will get extra pocket money, called allowances, so you don´t have to spend your money there :-))

3. How many types of accommodation is there for cabin crew? Nowadays there are about 31 buildings for Emirates cabin crew in Dubai. Every building has swimming pool and gym, free for cabin crew. Some of them are located in centre of Dubai, some of them are situated near the airport... It depends on your luck :-)) Names of some buildings: Pink building, Al Hai building, Millennium Tower, Union Property Tower, 21 century Tower, Sahara Tower...

4. Tips about what to dress up. Business attire for sure! For girls knee-lenght skirt and jacket (usually black or grey colour), white blouse, black high heels, beige stockings. And dont forget the golden rule - SMILE! :-)))

5. How many days off and days of vacations do you have? We have 30 days of vacation per year and about 10 days off every month. And dont forget free days on layovers :-))

6. In what countries have you been in work so far what was your favourite one? I´ve been to Mauritius, France (Paris), Melbourne, Singapore and UK (London) so far this month and the winner is Singapore for sure!!! And tomorrow I´m going to Geneva (Switzerland) so I can´t wait!

7. How old are you? I´m 22, still one of the youngest here and everyone here calls me baby because of my age :-))

8. Can you have pets in cabin crew accommodation? Yes you can. But you have to consider the fact that you will be sharing an apartment with somebody else. This person may be allergic to cats or simply not an animal person. Both flatmates have to agree when keeping a house pet. And of course pets are limited to small animals that wont make noise and disturb the rest of the crew population. But cats and small dogs are fine :-)) But dont forget that sometimes you will be away from home for couple of days... :-))

9. Do you think I will have a disadvantage comparing to others because I never had any experience or jobs? Look at me!! I just finished my bachelor´s degree in June 2012 and went to Open day in October! Don´t worry, you won´t be the only one without job experience, trust me. Just be honest to them. And put all your fluent languages to your CV.

10. Why did you wanted to join Emirates? I always wanted to do this job because I love travelling and why Emirates? Because they are one of the best! And my best friend works here :-))

To be continued... when I come back from Geneva (maybe from Geneva, because I have 48 hours layover there) ) Thanks for reading and good night!
