What Happens at Our Open Day?
Think of it as an experience, not just an interview. We've designed the day to give you a genuine feel for life at Emirates while we get to know you. Here's how it unfolds:
- Welcome & Introduction: We'll kick things off by introducing you to the Emirates way of life—what it's really like to work as Cabin Crew, the adventures that await, and what makes Dubai such an incredible place to call home.
- Interactive Assessment: You'll then take part in engaging group activities designed to showcase your teamwork and natural approach to service. Following that, there will be an online test completed at the venue.
- Final Conversation: For those who progress, we'll sit down for a more personal chat. This is where we'd love to hear your story, understand your motivations, and explore why you'd be a fantastic addition to our diverse team.
