Creando lección...
1
Hi guys.
2
My name is Karla, I am forever dead -liked and welcome back to my channel.
3
Today we're going to talk about 11 questions that you might get for your final interview for Emirates.
4
This is a subject that I've been talking about before, but I never compiled a list of questions.
5
And I've been talking with people that had their interview recently, and I've been digging in my memory to try to remember the questions that I had.
6
And I'm going to try to give you some, I don't know, guidelines.
7
as to how to answer them. So let's get started!
8
First of all...
9
I'm sorry for the background noise.
10
My dog is here!
11
Second of all, I know I've been quiet lately, I haven't posted in a while.
12
I had to move from Mexico to Romania.
13
A lot has been happening, but now I'm back and I can't wait to share more of my experience about Emirates.
14
Maybe, just maybe, I can help you get your dream job.
15
So, today we are gonna be talking about what kind of questions could you get for your final interview with Emirates.
16
So let's assume you went through all the stages, you passed all the rounds and you finally got to your final interview.
17
First of all, congratulations if you're in that position.
18
You made it so far.
19
Second of all, maybe right now you're really stressing about what type of questions are they gonna ask, how are you gonna answer them, so that's why I'm here.
20
I wanna give you some guidelines.
21
Like I said, I have a list of questions that you might get and maybe it's gonna help.
22
But before we start, I want to say that these questions are not foolproof.
23
They might change the questions.
24
There might be some variations.
25
This is not a proper, you know, Emirates approved lists.
26
So don't expect to have exactly the same question.
27
I'm not going to give you word by word answers.
28
I'm just going to give you some guidelines help you answer them.
29
Also, the list of questions is not going to include the, you know, the typical questions like tell me a bit about yourself.
30
What's your work history, you know, all these questions that you get in every interview.
31
Now, let's start with question number one, which is a bit of a regular question, but I want to talk about it.
32
Question number one would be, Why do you want to work for Emirates?
33
And here they might attach a little bit of another question.
34
What do you know about Emirates?
35
With this question you really have to do your homework.
36
You have to go on the website, read about Emirates, read articles, I don't know, maybe know the company values,
37
where they fly to, you don't have to know all the destinations but you know.
38
approximately how many destinations they have, what type of aircrafts.
39
You have to know a little bit about a company
40
so you can talk about it and make them see that you really want to work for them, you want to be part of this company.
41
Here I'm gonna give you a tip.
42
Emirates is very proud that they are the safest airline in the world, they never had a crash.
43
Maybe you could mention this in the interview
44
that you want to work for the safest airline you know they haven't had a crash ever
45
and that is a very important point for you and that's why you want to work for them.
46
There you go, I just got this idea.
47
Okay, another question that they might ask and this is a series of questions about yourself.
48
They might ask: "Where have you traveled so far?" or "What's your opinion about
49
different cultures here they just want to know how open you
50
are to you know working with different nationalities different cultures this is again a very very important aspect for them
51
because they are very proud
52
that they have 120 i believe nationalities working for them they want to make sure
53
that whoever they hire is going to be happy to be part of such a diverse group so this is very
54
here that you have no problem with any nationality, you're open -minded, you're curious maybe about different cultures and their customs,
55
the way they, I don't know, cook their food, that's very important at the end of the day.
56
You are gonna work on every flight with different nationalities, different cultures, you're even gonna live with someone that is not
57
from your country it's very important that you're open that's why they also ask where have you traveled before because
58
they also want to know if you you know
59
if you've never been out of your country maybe you don't
60
know what different cultures mean you don't know what to expect
61
so they want to see how well prepared you are and also how open -minded you are for you know
62
this whole experience.
63
Another personal question that they asked me in my interview, this I remember very clearly,
64
they asked me how close I am with my family and if I'm gonna miss them.
65
Maybe they asked me this because I was very young, I was only almost 21 when I went for the final interview.
66
Yeah, they asked me how close I am with my family, if I ever lived far from them.
67
I remember I mentioned that I have a baby brother.
68
and they asked me if i'm close to him
69
if i'm gonna miss him
70
if i've ever been you know away from my family for a long time i had the luck
71
that i did live for three months in a different city in romania
72
but you know i know it's nothing at
73
that point i thought wow i lived for three months away from my family uh now i know that it's It's nothing, but I think it helped.
74
They seemed to believe me when I said that yes, I'm gonna miss them but I'll manage.
75
The next questions that I'm going to talk about are related to your work experience.
76
They're going to ask you, tell me a time when you overcame a difficult situation at work
77
or have you ever worked with someone that you didn't like and how did you manage that situation?
78
For these questions, honestly, if you don't have experience or you don't know exactly what to say or how to,
79
you know, say the best thing maybe make up a story that's fine you have to show
80
that you are able to keep your professionalism in every situation whether it's a i don't know a colleague
81
that doesn't like you or a colleague
82
that you don't like whether it's a difficult situation where you lose your temper
83
or you i don't know you get upset you have to show that you kept your cool you didn't make a It's...
84
That's it.
85
another question that they might ask is how did you resolve a conflict with a colleague
86
and this is a very important question for them knowing what they're looking for
87
and how they want their employees to be this is a very important question
88
because like i said they have a lot of nationalities people
89
from different backgrounds people from different i don't know countries cultures So for them it's very important
90
that you are able to resolve a conflict without escalating it
91
and it's normal that conflicts arise when you have such a diverse group of people.
92
Here it is very important that you mention two steps in resolving a conflict with a colleague.
93
First of all you have to communicate with that colleague, you have to tell them how you feel,
94
you have to tell them what bothers you or what happened, what you did wrong, what they did wrong,
95
basically give them feedback on what happens.
96
If you cannot resolve it with that colleague
97
and they have a defensive attitude and they don't want to accept your feedback or they escalate the situation, the next step would be to talk to a superior.
98
So you do have to inform a superior.
99
This they want to know.
100
If they hire you, it will happen.
101
Because they want to know what's happening on their flights.
102
They want to know if something happens, you know, then you're not just gonna hide it under the carpet and everything's cool.
103
No, they want to know if a crew did something wrong, they want to know if something bad happened on a flight, especially if it involved a passenger.
104
So it's very important in a conflict with a colleague to mention these two steps first, I'm going to talk to that colleague,
105
I'm going to try to resolve it.
106
If we don't come to an agreement, then I will go to a superior and ask for help
107
and tell them the situation and we all come to a conclusion and solution.
108
The next two questions are your chance to brag, your chance to praise yourself.
109
One question could be: how would your friends or co -workers describe you?
110
And here, they don't know if it's your friend's words or your words.
111
So here is your chance
112
to tell them everything that is good about you and everything that is nice and your strong points and
113
Keep.. the modesty there a bit, but this is your chance to really talk about yourself in third person
114
and say all the good things that your friends or co -workers would say about you.
115
And then another question would be why would we hire you?
116
Why should we hire you?
117
Here again you have to tone down the bragging.
118
It's very important to mention your strong points, to mention your qualities, everything
119
that you know you're good at you have to mention it here
120
because you have to show them that you're aware of your qualities that you have confidence in yourself because
121
If you have confidence in yourself, then you're gonna, you know, do a good job and you're gonna be confident on a flight as well.
122
And this brings me to my next question, which is related to flights.
123
Actually, the next few questions are going to be related to flights.
124
They might ask you, how do you deal with high pressure environment?
125
Or how do you cope with the long shifts?
126
And this is for the first question with the high pressure environment.
127
This is where you can use your confidence because you're confident in what you have to do, in what you know how to do.
128
And this way you're going to keep calm in a high pressure situation, not going to panic and lose it forget about everything that you have to do.
129
long shifts here, I don't know, if you're not a night person, a night owl, if you're not used to long hours, just lie.
130
Here it's okay to just lie, just tell them that yes, you can do it, you know how to do it.
131
And there's a very important aspect here to mention during an interview.
132
They're asking you about long shifts because fatigue is a really issue.
133
within the cabin crew because you have night flights, long flights, long hours, physical work, so you know you're jet lagged all the time.
134
They want to hear that you know how to take care of yourself so that you don't get to burn out.
135
And here you can mention, I don't know, that you drink a lot of water, that you do meditation on your days off, you exercise,
136
you do some yoga or I don't know any healthy lifestyle habits are good to mention here because
137
These habits recharge your batteries on your days off.
138
And this is how they know that you know how to take care of yourself.
139
And you're not going to end up calling sick every two flights because you're fatigued, you're tired, you got sick.
140
Also, when you're tired, you tend to get sick more.
141
So this is very important that you know how to take care of yourself and you have a healthy lifestyle.
142
They do care about that because at the end of the day, it's in their benefit for you not to get sick and for you to, you know, to go to your flights.
143
and also yours because you want to see those destinations right
144
and that's why you you want the job
145
so you can do the flights so you really know need to know how to take care of yourself Okay,
146
I think I lost count of the questions that I mentioned, but anyway, I have two more.
147
One of them is: How long do you expect to work for Emirates?
148
This is a question that they didn't ask me, but I heard that they started asking this question lately.
149
I think it's a very good question.
150
They want to know what your future plans are.
151
and it's fair enough because they're spending a lot of money to bring you to Dubai, to do your visa, your flight, to put you in accommodation,
152
your medicals, there's a lot of money there.
153
So here it's good to mention your future plans, but...
154
If your future plans include staying in Emirates only one year, don't mention it.
155
I don't know, say something else.
156
They want you to stay a minimum of three years, which is the first contract.
157
It's good to mention, I don't know, maybe don't put a timestamp on it.
158
Say something like...
159
I want to stay for as long as I'm happy, for as long as I can grow, for as long as I'm doing a good job, for as long as I enjoy my flights.
160
Whatever vague but good answer you have, you can say it.
161
But if you plan on staying only one year and then, I don't know, going back to school or going back home, don't mention it because in one year they're not going to get their money back
162
and then there's no point for them in investing to bring you to Dubai if you plan on leaving after one year.
163
And now, at the end of the interview, every interviewer, this is a very typical question, they ask you if you have any questions.
164
but it's a bad sign to not have any questions.
165
I think a good answer for this, and I'm going to be honest, I saw this in a movie,
166
I think a good answer for this is when do I expect to get a response for this interview?
167
It just shows that you're confident, it shows that you have other prospects in your life,
168
you're not just hanging and you're not desperate for this job.
169
And it also shows professionalism.
170
that you know You came here, you did whatever they asked you to do, now you will need an answer and you want to know when you will get it.
171
So that's fair enough, it's very professional but also a bit, you know, pragmatic and straight to the point.
172
I think that's a good attitude to have at the end of the interview.
173
After you've given them all the, you know, good answers and everything, you expect an answer from them
174
and emirates doesn't tell you during the final interview
175
if you got the job or not so don't really expect that
176
but i think it's a good thing to ask just to
177
ask don't expect an answer they're gonna give you an ambiguous vague answer
178
but it's a good sign that you're asking this That's pretty much it.
179
I hope you enjoyed it.
180
I hope I didn't miss for too long.
181
I'm happy to be back and as always if you have any questions leave them in the comments.
182
I'll answer each and every one of you.
183
If you have any, I don't know things
184
that you would like me to talk about also leave them in the comments i'll answer
185
or i'll make a video about whatever you want me to talk about.
186
Next week I will be a bit more personal, I will talk about my life at Emirates, what I liked, what I didn't like.
187
If you're interested in that, hit that subscribe button and maybe the notification so you can see when I post a video.
188
Like this video, save it, send it to your friends, whoever would be interested to see it.

Who Is This Video For?
This video is perfect for English learners prepping for job interviews—especially those aiming for roles in global industries like aviation. Whether you’re a intermediate learner looking to refine your speaking skills or an advanced student wanting to practice real-world dialogue, the conversational tone and practical content make it ideal. It’s also great for anyone focusing on english speaking practice with a focus on clarity and confidence, as the speaker breaks down complex interview scenarios into manageable tips.
Words & Idioms Worth Stealing
The video is packed with useful phrases for interviews and daily conversation. Here are a few standouts:
- "Do your homework": To research thoroughly. Example: "I did my homework on the company before the interview."
- "Foolproof": Guaranteed to work. Example: "There’s no foolproof way to predict interview questions, but practice helps."
- "Digging in my memory": Trying to remember. Example: "I’m digging in my memory to recall the details."
How to Get the Accent Right
The speaker’s tone is friendly and conversational, with clear pronunciation—perfect for shadowing site practice. Focus on her relaxed pace and emphasis on key points (like "safest airline" or "different cultures"). Notice how she pauses slightly before important tips, which helps with rhythm. To mimic her accent, practice stressing the first syllable in words like "congratulations" and "guidelines." Use shadow speak by repeating her sentences aloud immediately after she says them, matching her intonation and speed. This will help you sound more natural in real conversations, whether in interviews or daily life.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
