All the emirates, etihad, qatar airways' flight attendants that I saw on social media are the most supportive and the cutest ones. Many thanks for all the information.

Hi! I was at Emirates open days about 5 days ago. I was ther for the open day and they reject me in first phase... I was like what did I do wrong. I was fully prepared to introduce my self to posture the way of me communication with other. They dont even give you a reason why you are not accepted. I was disappointed, I know i can do more... they didn't give me time to show my self, but thus will not stop me to try again after 3 months.

[@JetstreamGinger]

Hey, sorry to hear that, but I love that you’re not giving up)) Unfortunately, they never tell you the reason for rejection-it’s more like “figure it out yourself” 😂 Try to analyze what might have gone wrong and avoid it next time. Wishing you lots of luck 🫶

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@illyriangods8657 do you already have any ideas on why they might have rejected you?

[@illyriangods8657]

@JetstreamGinger Thank you so much!

Your hair colour looks pretty natural to me. As long as it’s not crazy colours like pink, blue, green etc. it shouldn’t be a problem. Red/ginger hair is natural so it should be allowed.

[@JetstreamGinger]

Believe me, it wasn’t just about pink, blue, or green 🙈 Before every departure, we had an Image and Uniform officer who ensured we met strict grooming standards. If anything was off, they would stop you and expect it to be corrected before your next flight. They were incredibly particular, especially with blond crew members, often scrutinizing the exact shade of their hair. For example, a friend of mine, who had naturally highlighted hair, was stopped and told to dye it because they assumed her highlights weren’t natural. She had to fight to prove otherwise. The Image and Uniform standards at Emirates were no joke. I even dyed my hair back to my natural black before joining to avoid any issues😬 During training, there was a girl with dyed red hair who was asked to return to her natural color, even though her dyed hair looked very natural to me. So, they are really picky 🙈

[@Faran.]

@@JetstreamGinger WOW that’s insane 😭😂

[@syafiqfirdaus1620]

I want to attend the Emirates cabin crew assessment day with a beard because, over the years, I have attended many airlines cabin crew interviews clean-shaven but have been unsuccessful and never received a golden call. I believe trying something different, like keeping my beard, might bring a positive change. However, I am fully willing to clean shave if I receive the golden call and am required to fly to Dubai for training.

[@JetstreamGinger]

I don’t think the issue was that you were clean-shaven, it might have been nerves or something else. Being clean-shaven actually shows that you have attention to detail and follow the I&U guidelines before Open Day. I know one guy with a beard who passed, but he was asked to shave for the final interview. However, he was exceptional and had a bright personality, which is likely why they made an exception for him (though they still required him to shave later). Ultimately, it’s your decision. If you feel you have better chances with a beard, I won’t try to change your mind 😊

[@StevenMawejje-e8n]

Thank you far the advices

[@JetstreamGinger]

My pleasure 🥰

[@GargiSingh-yu2dp]

Hey my application is still under review and the interview day is within a week I did not get any rejection or a mail of invitation what to do I am sooo worried

[@JetstreamGinger]

If it’s an Open Day, don’t wait for an invitation, just attend. If it’s an Assessment Day, unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do, you’ll need to wait for the invitation to attend( When did you submit your application? Maybe they haven’t reviewed it yet

[@djihanexo]

But why they didn’t reply of any application? I applied 4 month ago in customer service role there is no response for my application and it’s still new application in my application review on my emirates account

[@rinarosalia182]

How to pass the second group discussion? Only two people were taken from my group. When explaining I was stuttering out of nervousness.

[@JetstreamGinger]

Hey, check my video about “how to pass Emirates open/assessment day”, I do explain in details what are they looking for and how to answer)))

[@emanuellenunes7839]

In Brazil the agency that recruits have this sort of their on filter, if youre anything less than 165cm youre not going to receive an invitation for their assessment day. Also anyone 30+ dont get invited. However if you change just that in your application they call you asap 😅

[@JetstreamGinger]

Honestly, Emirates generally doesn’t hire applicants who are 30+. It’s not written anywhere, but it seems to be an unspoken practice. I haven’t flown with anyone who joined after 30. I would say 28 and 29, yes, but not beyond that. There might still be some exceptions, but they’re extremely rare. As for height, I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe you could attend an Open Day in a nearby country?

[@Ukozak]

Do I need to wait if they reject me after the final interview?

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@Ukozak If you are not successful in your final interview, you can apply for the same role after 6 months)) good luck next time 🍀

Hi maam I will be applying for emirates cabin crew But i have an issue with my appearance i.e i am bald by nature but i wear a wig which is neatly combed and presentable , will it be a problem for me if i get selected?

[@axxxa25]

There are no open day's in my country as they hire through a third-party organisation. So is it ok for me to attend an open day in another country that I'm not a resident or citizen of?

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@axxxa25 yes, I’m Ukrainian, but attended my Open Day in Poland, for example)

[@axxxa25]

Do you know what the cooling period is after rejection? Is it 3 months or 6 months?

[@felipereis5142]

3 months

[@Zunaid_Lawrence]

Is there any advise for male cabin crew? Is it easier for them to get the job?

[@JetstreamGinger]

To be fair, there’s really no difference for guys and girls when it comes to the selection process) I actually go over some tips for male candidates in my video “How to Become Emirates Cabin Crew in 2024,” like how to do the right pictures and dress to make a good impression on Open Day. Check it out, if you’re interested and good luck)😉

[@danielaguillar1849]

Hi ma'am... I got two surgeries done on my feet to correct them as they were crooked but now they are in right position and i would like to know if Emirates hire people who have already got surgeries done

[@JetstreamGinger]

Hi) Emirates typically focuses on your overall health and physical abilities rather than specific medical history, as long as you’re fully recovered and able to meet the physical requirements for the role. However, it’s always best to be honest about any medical history during the recruitment process. Good luck 🤞

[@LokkimaCape-Town]

I got invited for a assessment day I applied the day before but I can’t attend the assessment day because it’s not in the same city that I live in how long do I have to wait before I can reapply because I won’t be able to attend the one I was invited for 😢

[@JetstreamGinger]

I suggest reaching out to them to request a reschedule for your assessment day. Let them know you won’t be able to attend on the originally scheduled date. This way, you won’t need to reapply - just adjust the timing. Someone in my comments had a similar issue and they were able to reschedule successfully. Good luck🤞

[@LokkimaCape-Town]

@ thank you so much I will do that

[@ganeshwagh5346]

Hello i completed hospitality management so i want become cabin crew in Emirates as well as i know everything about customer service and food & beverage knowledge i have one dought its what is English level must needs for Emirates according i should prepare for English language

[@JetstreamGinger]

You should be fluent in English, as it is the main language of communication. I believe you need at least an Intermediate or Upper-Intermediate level to start. Eventually, you will improve even more. However, if your level is below Intermediate (preferably Upper-Intermediate), it’s better to work on your English before applying.

[@ganeshwagh5346]

@JetstreamGinger thank you so much from my bottom of heart❤️ ultimately I got properly guidelines which is the more advantagable for me and I hope I will definitely work on English fluency as well as I am currently working in 5 star hotel so I have stuck between food & beverage department another is front office which department reference is better for Emirates they can appreciate my customer service experience☺️☺️

[@Wokatoka143]

Hi dear I have applied but still I didn't receive any update, I am waiting from last month on the response of my first submitted application so what can I do now should I apply again

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@Wokatoka143 sometimes, it takes a long time to get a reply from them. If you can attend any Open Day, this is the best option if you don’t want to wait for the invitation to the Assessment Day. If pre-selection in your country is handled by a third-party hiring company, you need to contact them directly. Check the recruitment events in your country and see how they are organized there.If you need help with this, check out my video titled “How to Find Recruitment Events.” Hope this helps))

[@yahiakhouni5998]

Thank you irina for the effort you’re doing for us i have a question I applied online and they said that I’ll hear an update in 72 hours it’s been 4 days and still nothing the problem is the assessment day is within a week any tips ?

[@JetstreamGinger]

Hey) Sorry to hear you’re still waiting, especially with the assessment day coming up. The problem is that it can take much longer than 72 hours, they receive a huge number of applications daily. Unfortunately, some people wait months for a reply. There’s no way to speed up the process, all you can do is wait(

[@yahiakhouni5998]

[@BethAnn-ti2pk]

Will i be rejected if i have a lisp. So i can't say my 's' proper. But everyone can still understand me

[@JetstreamGinger]

It’s hard to say whether it would be a problem since I can’t hear you. However, if it isn’t noticeable and everyone understands you without any issues, it might not be a concern. That said, it’s really difficult to judge. You could always try your luck on the Open Day, if you make it through all the assessments, that’s a clear sign it’s not an issue😊

Thank you for this information, I'm going to be 30 in December and I don't know if I should put my age in CV

[@JetstreamGinger]

You enter your date of birth when creating an account on the career website, so they’re going to know it anyway. If you’re worried that your age might be an issue, you could try applying with Etihad-they are less strict about the age))

[@adesewaadesanya2547]

@ thank you

[@adesewaadesanya2547]

Etihad didn’t ask for it when creating an account

[@JetstreamGinger]

I am trying to say that there’s really no point in leaving your age off your CV, as they’ll still ask at some point. If it were an American or Canadian airline, they wouldn’t ask, but Middle Eastern airlines do🙈 As I mentioned, Etihad is the least strict airline when it comes to age. Emirates is quite well known for hiring mostly 21-23-year-old candidates, but I flew with people who joined at 28-29. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard of anyone being hired at 30. But that doesn’t mean they won’t consider you)) good luck anyway 🤞🍀

How old are you? Where are you from? Are still living in Dubai? Be a fight attendant has been my dream

Hi) I won’t lie, practice shows that they do tend to prefer younger candidates, but 28 should be fine. I know a few people who joined at 28 - one of my batchmates in training college was 28 as well. So you definitely have a chance 😊

[@JetstreamGinger]

I’m sorry to hear about your experience😞But it’s worth reflecting on what might have gone wrong, maybe it was about finding the right balance. Emirates values leadership, but they also look for strong team players who support rather than overshadow others. I actually have a video about the Open/Assessment Day where I explain what recruiters focus on during group assessments, you might find it helpful. And remember, recruiters are human too, and their choices can be subjective)) Don’t give up, sometimes, it’s just about the right timing and a bit of luck. Wishing you better results next time ❤️🍀

[@JetstreamGinger]

Qatar is well-known for its strict rules for cabin crew, while Emirates is more relaxed. Plus, Emirates is based in Dubai, where the rules are less strict compared to Doha’s Muslim regulations. Salary-wise, Emirates is also better. If you’re interested, I can make a video about Qatar Airways 🥰

[@vsstud]

Why anyone would choose QR?! It’s modern day slavery, horrible employee treatment, very strict rules, terrible work culture, reporting, back stabbing. You would have to be desperate to choose QR over EK or EY.

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@vsstud a lot of people don’t know about Qatar’s strict rules and toxic culture until they’re already there (due to a lack of research beforehand). I can’t say Emirates is the ideal workplace either 😂😂 but it’s definitely better than Qatar! I think some people choose Qatar because it’s been rated the best airline in the world by Skytrax for years. Yes, it’s the best for passengers, but definitely not for the crew 😅
