Activities At An Emirates Assessment Day
Emirates organizes Assessment Day’s in locations where they have identified a need for a particular type of crew member – such as nationality or language skills. If you need to travel overseas to attend an Assessment Day, then Emirates will not be able to reimburse you for any expenses incurred.
Remember, that Assessment Day’s are ‘invite only’ events – these are not advertised widely and you shouldn’t travel to one unless you’ve been specifically told to attend.
Let`s now go into a detailed explanation of what happens at an Assessment Day event.
This is a five-minute interview and is more of an informal chat with one of the assessors. There are generally two questions that you will be asked. The two Emirates cabin crew interview questions are:
Why do you want to work for Emirates?Why do you want to be a flight attendant?
For these questions, it is important to remember the key values that we have mentioned so far and try to incorporate them into your answers. A further way of preparing for these questions is to practice saying your answers out loud. Perfect your interview skills with our interview preparation package.
After this interview, you will each receive an envelope which either invites you to continue the day or is a rejection.
Most candidates will then be asked to take this Emirates English test. This is a long test with various different stages. First of all, you will be given two short stories to read through and answer five questions for each story. This tests your verbal comprehension abilities that are used daily in in-flight management. You are then given a letter and answer five questions pertaining to it as well.
Following this will be another elimination
introducing some good places to visit in a country, writing a thank you letter, and writing a report about a holiday that you have recently taken.
In this assessment, you will split into groups of about 20 and given a brief along with the following lines: There has been a mix up at the airport and even though 20 people had placed orders for hire cars there are only 10 cars available. What should you do?
There are similar variants to this situation as well. At the end of the discussion, one of the assessors comes in and plays the part of someone who didn’t receive a car. You have to comfort her and this tests your empathizing skills as well. In order to do well in this group discussion you have to bear in mind the key values, mentioned above as well as not being too overbearing.
Following this, there will be a further elimination.
After the third elimination, if you have made it through, you will be asked to complete the Emirates Cabin Crew psychometric test. However, you may be given directions on it and told to take it online before your Emirates Cabin Crew final interview which will be held at a later date.
The Emirates cabin crew psychometric test is a personality profiling test that normally takes 45 minutes to complete. There are 180 questions to answer in this psychometric test. It has been claimed that it is impossible to prepare for these tests but extensive research has proved this to be false. In fact, with proper preparation, understanding how these tests work and appreciative of what the employer wants you will be able to answer the questions in a line that is in sync with what Emirates want.
At a date that has been previously arranged at the Emirates assessment day, you will face the final interview. This is the last step of the Emirates cabin crew recruitment process. Some popular Emirates cabin crew interview questions include the following:
- Can you describe a time when you received constructive criticism?
- What do you find challenging?
- Describe a stressful event in your life and how you dealt with it.
- Have you ever had to deal with a difficult client? How did you do so?
- Why nationalities do you think you will have the most difficulty dealing with?
- Tell me about a time when you had to make a difficult decision.
- What was the worst mistake you have ever made?
- What do you know about Dubai?
- What do you know about Emirates Airlines?
These questions are just a sampling of what you will receive on the day.
