Shadowing-Übung: Emirates Assessment Day | Quick Guidelines & Tips | Real Experience | Cabin Crew Interview | Success - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

hi everyone welcome back to my channel i hope you are

all doing well um for those of you who are new to this channel my name is rugbyr singh um

and i'm a daily vlogger you can say i travel i vlog about travel food

and pretty much everything that i do

and for those of you who are returning viewers thank you

very much for your support since day one now today's video is a little bit different from our previous videos

because today we're going to talk about an experience

that i had yesterday and

that experience was the emirates airlines assessment day for the position of a cabin crew now

if you are planning to be uh or

if you're planning to attend the emirates assessment or recruitment

or open day they call it i suggest you stick around in this video

because i'm going to give you a quick quick overview of

uh what it was like to to attend the assessment day

uh what do you what you can expect to do at the assessment day

and what you should and what you should not do

so i'll give you a very quick overview uh a very

like um quick guidelines to help you uh master through uh the day

and probably also suggest some some things

that you must try to avoid um at the assessment day

so let's start off with the first thing that you do um

that is um try to arrive actually the first thing

that you should do is try to arrive at least 30

minutes before the the start of your um your your your time

so let's say if you were

if you were scheduled to start at nine make sure you

get there at least by 8 30 8 45 now the first thing

that you're going to do is register now registration usually is

done online however yesterday they were not really prepared for it

and they had to do i would say about 80 percent of the registrations are on the spot

because a lot of people just thought it's an open day

and they popped up at the venue

but i had my registration then online at their career website

so be sure to double check with that

if you're heading to the open day without any registration or you got an invitation by registering online on their website.

Now the registration is done then you will be given a candidate number

and based on the candidate number you will be divided into groups.

So depending on the number of people

that are present at the day of assessment you might be broken into a group of five or a group of ten.

for us we were split into a group of 10 after you've been divided into groups you will be

asked to present yourselves in front of the whole room as a group just a very brief self-introduction

and that self-introduction should be about 40 seconds to 50 seconds or at least 30 seconds

so 30 to 50 seconds try to keep it between

that now 30 to 30 to 40 seconds is actually not

a lot of time for you to explain like to introduce yourself because usually

when we go to interviews 30 to 40 seconds you usually take up by just telling your name your age

and uh that's pretty much it you know

so uh you really have to be sharp and to the point with what you say um

usually what they're expecting you to say in this self-introduction is obviously your name, your age, any customer service experience.

That is what they want to hear.

And these are the main three things.

And another interesting thing that they might ask you, like for us they did was, if you are actually selected to be a cabin crew at Emirates,

what would be your first dream destination to fly to?

And so these are the four things

that they asked us to mention obviously i did mention

that oh my name is rugby saying i'm 29 years old

and i've had several years of customer service experience

because i've worked in the food and hospitality industry for about two years

and i've also had a front-hand sales experience dealing with customers walking in to the stores

and online customer service experience as well so that's what i mentioned

and my dream destination was madrid

because as i said um i am a really big football fan

and i really want to see real madrid play

and at their home stadium so you can just make things up for the last questions

but for the first three parts you have to make sure

that you are really confident in what you say um this first part of the assessment day is really important

because this is where they eliminate almost 50% of the candidates.

So we had about 100 people um yesterday at the at the assessment

and after the first round only 48 were left and we were really everyone was pretty shocked

um to how um how big the numbers were when they

when people were walking out the door

so um i didn't know i i actually made it through the first round

so what they're looking for um uh in this first round

is how well you're able to articulate yourself how well you are able to

express your ideas in short direct and a proper manner

and your body language when you're when you're giving yourself introduction

that really matters as well and obviously your language skills you know

if you are a bit nervous you're a bit shaky

so these are the type of things

that they're looking for obviously they want someone who is confident who is loud

and clear and um just to the point you know that's what they're looking for here now

round one's done you've made it to the next round right now the next round is uh really interesting

because it's a group discussion

and it's the same thing in the group you might be divided into a group of 10

or group of 12 in our case it was a group

of 12 after you're done dividing yourselves into a group

and you're sat together in a circle your group will be given a topic

a situation actually and for us it was a situation that we are flying from dubai to new york

and on the flight there were seven situations

that occurred at the same time and we as a crew had to prioritize each

and every situation based on its importance and its priority

so as a group your your aim is to prioritize each

and every one of those from one to seven and give a presentation

at the end of the 15 to 20 minutes discussion to why your group thinks

that this is number one number two number three and

so on and

while you're discussing amongst your group um the the recruiters the hr they will walk around the hall

and they'll try to take notes

and uh also one of the recruiters will set up the height uh measurements

100

so um for emirates i think the minimum height was 165 centimeters

101

and the minimum reach was 212 centimeters now their minimum reach is slightly higher than other airlines primarily

102

because of their a380s yeah so

103

while you're doing your group discussion you will be asked to come out remove your shoes measure your height

104

and do the reach and once you're done doing

105

that dress yourself back and go back to your seat

106

and continue the discussion

107

and uh again uh in this in this round uh apart from the height

108

and reach what they're looking for is how well you're able

109

to uh uh give off ideas in a group discuss uh

110

some people tend to be more assertive on top of the

111

others however this is what they do not want you to do

112

because the the biggest thing um in a cabin crew is

113

that you should be a team player and

114

if you're trying to assert yourself onto others um

115

that is going to be a big turnoff for the recruiters obviously uh you would want to lead

116

but lead in a way that you listen to others as well

117

and obviously you have to speak up

118

because since they're walking around there's there's only

119

so many people they can look at and if you speak loud

120

and clear they'll be able to you know you'll able to stand out

121

so that's what you really want to do be loud

122

and clear and really just just sell yourself the best you can in the group interview right

123

so when the group discussions are done your group will come out again you'll stand in line

124

and then pretty much just explain what are the priorities

125

that your group's at and then explain

126

that you you will divide the roles amongst your group who will be saying what

127

and who will be doing what

128

so that's very internal depending on your group now once

129

that is done you will be given another 15 to 20 minute break right

130

and after the break when you come into the room they will have this projection screen

131

and on the projection screen they will show numbers so

132

if your number is on the screen congratulations you moved on to the next round now

133

if not then you're out and you can reapply for this position six months later

134

because that's a cooling off period

135

so let's say you moved on to the next round

136

and what is going to be the the next round that is the English language test.

137

Now the English language test, there's no standard

138

questions because it's an online test that you have to do on your phones

139

or on your tablets uh on your gadgets whatever you bring along with you

140

and uh they will show a qr code on the screen you scan it

141

and then they will probably uh redirect you to the to

142

the link where the test is uh the test is is is really simple i mean

143

if you've done i also toffle i think can get through it i'll try to find a link

144

and i'll i'll leave it in the in the description below

145

so if you want to have a mock uh english language test for emirates click the link below

146

and then you can probably just uh try to practice once

147

or twice before you really uh go for the assessment of

148

the recruitment days now after the english language test is done

149

you've passed with flying colors uh you will be uh moving on to the last part of the assessment day

150

which is the one-to-one interview now the one-to-one interview can be really daunting at times

151

but again it's just going to be a mixture of mixture

152

of the first two rounds basically you will be asked to uh give you give a self-introduction

153

but a very detailed one now you'll have a lot more time instead of the 30 seconds

154

maybe you'll have one minute one minute and a half

155

or up to two minutes for you to do your self-introduction

156

and once you're done with your self-introduction then it's just going back

157

and forth with the recruiters answering questions uh like why you want to work for emirates why do you feel

158

that you'll be the best candidate and what do you feel are the best qualities of a um

159

qualities that a cabin crew must must possess

160

so it really depends on how well you plan these questions uh plan for these questions

161

and uh again the main thing is be confident uh don't

162

try to uh give a lot of big pauses in your answers

163

because then it really shows

164

that you're not ready you're not confident in what you want to say

165

and just try to be logical with your answers because uh

166

they also know that there's there's a lot of things going through your mind

167

but you know so So if you try to be logical, if you try to be direct, then it'll be pretty good.

168

And after that, then it's just a waiting game.

169

You know, once you're done the face-to-face interview, they'll thank you for coming and then so on.

170

So if you are not successful after that, when you get home, you'll probably get an email saying thank you very much.

171

In my case, I was not successful as well.

172

When I went home about 7, 8 p.m., I got an email saying thank you for your time.

173

unfortunately we're not able to process uh go go ahead with your application

174

but be sure to apply for other emirate opportunities

175

or the same position six months later uh however

176

if you are um uh accepted then you will get what they call a golden call

177

and uh with the golden call usually comes around a week

178

or a month it really depends from people to people uh

179

once you get the golden call you will be flying to dubai for their eight week intensive training

180

and eventually if you pass the tests

181

if you pass the practicals then you will be ready to fly as a as an emirates cabin crew congratulations

182

so let me just sum up everything once again

183

because i know there's a lot of details

184

that i mentioned a lot of things that i mentioned

185

and you might have missed out

186

so what happens on the assessment day is number one registration

187

number two self introduction for your group number two group interview scenario

188

and prioritizing the tasks that they've given you

189

and number four the english language test and number five the one-on-one

190

or face-to-face interview with the recruiters

191

and eventually number six would be the ideal situation for everyone

192

that is the golden call right so um some things to keep in mind dress well uh the

193

main thing would be to tidy up your hair properly go

194

clean shave now obviously i had my reasons i couldn't shave

195

so i told them they said it's okay no problem in the interviews uh we can excuse it

196

but if you're selected then you do have to do it

197

and i was like yeah no problem um so clean shave for men

198

and wear a dark colored suit a nice iron shirt with a proper tie

199

proper shoes belt leather belt try to wear a leather belt black or brown really depends on your choice or your

200

what color of suit you're wearing and for ladies try to be really professional as well.

201

You know, a proper business formals outfit will be really, really helpful.

202

Keep your hair neat and tidy, dress well, dress to impress as they say

203

and uh try to cover up tattoos honestly um make sure

204

there's no tattoos on your visible body parts on your hands

205

on your arms on your necks um you know anywhere um

206

so anywhere outside of your shoulders uh for you know it's a big no-no they don't like

207

because if even if it's on the arm

208

if get selected then their shirt material is quite see-through

209

so people can see your tattoos um

210

so tattoos are a big no-no just try to cover it up or let them know that i have a tattoo

211

and then they'll they can let you know if it's acceptable

212

or if it's not acceptable and so on

213

and uh be loud be clear uh be confident try not to shake too much

214

when you're speaking or move your hands too much when you're speaking

215

and when you're talking look at the recruiters eye to eye give them some eye content eye contact

216

and also look at your group mates in the eyes

217

when you're talking it really helps uh it actually then it actually shows

218

that you're actually communicating with the wider group instead of just looking at one person

219

or just looking around at one spot in the room you know

220

that really helps

221

and uh try to be logical with your answers uh some

222

people try to to say a lot of extra stuff that really doesn't make sense.

223

I was trying to look for the right word

224

and I had one in mind but it wouldn't be appropriate for the video.

225

So try to be really logical with your answers and

226

if you're logical and it makes sense then you'll be in the good.

227

Be really careful with your body language because if you're slouching too much

228

or if you're moving too much then it doesn't look really professional you know.

229

What you want to do is you want to sit up

230

straight with your hands on your knees you know as for boys

231

or for girls what i what i what i noticed a

232

lot of girls doing was uh they had their hands like this placed right in the middle

233

so that and for boys just sit up straight with your hands on your knees and uh be confident just um

234

be like you're the best person in the room and when you're standing make sure you have your hands

235

like this you know just in front of you

236

and uh don't move around too much

237

when you're standing stand still with your shoulders out you know

238

your chest up front just be confident you know just be

239

like a big guy standing like like like a bodyguard like

240

that right so that that's what you want to do

241

and uh some things to avoid is talking too loud

242

when other people are presenting uh because it really disturbs everyone

243

and uh don't be unnecessarily clapping for things

244

if everyone is clapping then you can join along uh

245

because there there were some instances yesterday where a group might be presenting

246

and then some people would just uh clap at a person's self intro

247

and that is really unnecessary you know really um just disturbs the recruiters

248

and the the candidates as well and uh don't chew gum uh it's not professional

249

if you're chewing gum on in an interview

250

and uh drink water yeah you can do

251

that you can drink water have your coffee if you

252

if you brought along that's completely acceptable uh you don't have

253

to raise your hand to ask you know we're not kids anymore

254

so so that's that's just a few things that you have to be mindful of uh but all in all

255

I would say

256

if you're going to your Emirates assessment day don't be nervous just be yourself just give it your best

257

and if you give it your best don't worry

258

if you don't make it because there were people

259

that were coming there for the seventh time I was really

260

shocked they were like oh I've been to Canada I've been

261

to Malaysia I've been to all parts of the world for their recruitment days

262

and this is my seventh attempt and I don't know

263

if they made it or not I hope they did

264

because seven times is a lot that's a lot of commitment just to be an emirates crew so um

265

yeah that's pretty much what you can expect on the emirates assessment day from what my experience was yesterday

266

and i hope you uh had something to take away from this video

267

and um if you have any more questions

268

if you want to clarify something

269

that i've just said just hit me up just comment down in the video

270

and i'll let you know

271

if you want to um ask me personally i'll i'll this

272

is my instagram id you can just drop me a dm there as well

273

and i'll be more than happy to help you guys

274

and um i'm actually now planning to uh do the etihad assessment day as well at etihad airways

275

so if i do end up being called up for the interviews i'll let you guys know

276

and we'll also do a video on their assessment day

277

and how it goes uh but that is to be seen

278

because i've only applied for them i'm still waiting for the emails on their online tests on interviews

279

and hopefully uh face-to-face interviews

280

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
