1
Today I'm going to answer one of the most asked questions I get on every single platform,
2
which is what are the most common Emirates interview questions?
3
I was a flight attendant for 10 years and not only did I have to go through an assessment day,
4
I also had to go through different assessment days throughout my career to go through the different grades information,
5
what are the questions you might get asked, and what's the best way to answer them.
6
Are you ready?
7
Let's do this.
8
Before I get started with the questions, let me just give you a quick reality check,
9
and that is that Emirates interviews are not just about what you say, but about how you conduct yourself.
10
entire time.
11
Even when you get small breaks between the different stages, they're still watching you.
12
They're assessing your image, meaning did you put makeup on?
13
If you're a guy, did you shave?
14
How did you do your hair?
15
Your communication skills, how social you are, your confidence.
16
They're basically trying to see if you fit their brand.
17
Because guess what?
18
You're going to be a of thumb,
19
just think that every answer that you give them needs to show professionalism,
20
teamwork, cultural sensitivity, and customer service excellence.
21
Alright, let's dive into the questions and how to answer them like a Pro.
22
Question one.
23
Tell us about yourself.
24
Classic, right?
25
Listen, they don't want to hear your life story.
26
And this goes for every interview I've had pre and post Emirates.
27
It's the same thing.
28
They really don't care about your life story.
29
You want to keep it short, professional, and really highlight the things that Emirates is looking for.
30
So I don't know, for example, I grew up in the US,
31
but I am That is one of Emirates values.
32
Of course, they're going to care about that.
33
So it's about trying to pull those details, highlight them so they know that you're a great brand ambassador.
34
You can also mention adaptability or, you know, your love for travel.
35
If you've done a trip that you've liked, if you've had customer service experience, also highlight that.
36
adapted to each job.
37
So for example, you could say something like, I'm passionate about working with people from different cultures.
38
I'm used to working in a very fast -paced environment
39
because I used to work in blank job or I work in blank job.
40
And I'm excited to bring my customer service skills because I've worked for X amount of time in customer service.
41
And I've learned all the tools And I think it'll be a great asset for an international company like Emirates.
42
Don't think you're being cocky.
43
You can also say it in like a cheeky way.
44
I was like that in my final interview and the interviewers were laughing with me.
45
We were having a great time.
46
And I honestly think that's a huge part of why I got the job because I was being myself.
47
And I'm very sarcastic as you've probably seen if you watched my videos.
48
I love a little sarcasm.
49
So I let that shine through.
50
Sue me.
51
I'm not great at the advice. and a sarcastic comment.
52
Some cheese.
53
Question two.
54
Why do you want to work for Emirates?
55
This one is everyone gets it.
56
I got it.
57
People I know got it.
58
It's classic, right?
59
And how you answer shows if you've truly done your homework.
60
So I'm going to give you a small tip on how to answer this question.
61
There are a few things you should mention or could mention Emirates reputation,
62
global network, multicultural environment slash crew and commitment to excellence.
63
a career in aviation because you're truly passionate about it.
64
I said that and I did well and I was actually honest about it
65
and I did have a great career in aviation.
66
So, hey, it's also about saying what you truly feel and believe because that shines through.
67
Don't just be a robot, you know, repeating these answers I'm giving you.
68
Add your own touch, but do your homework.
69
So, for example, the way you could answer is, well, Emirates is the leader in the aviation and travel
70
work with a company that sets the standards for customer service and innovation.
71
I'm also very excited about being part of a multicultural team while traveling the world.
72
I feel like that would be so enriching for me as a person.
73
And to be honest with you, it really just aligns with my passion for hospitality and personal growth.
74
Please don't just write down and say it, it if it's not genuine guaranteed because you're gonna be a little nervous
75
and also it just comes through
76
that it's not really you know they're they're not your words
77
so make it your own
78
but this could be this gives you the gist of what
79
it could sound like question three describe a time you dealt with a difficult customer I got this question
80
and I remember my answer until today and that was pretty easy.
81
So I'm not going to tell you, okay, this is what you should say, because you should be speaking from experience,
82
of course, but I will give you a method that will help you set up these situations.
83
And my advice to you is sit down and write three to four of these examples using this method so that,
84
you know, you might, you're going to remember at least one of them, which is what you need to do.
85
So here's what the method is called.
86
It's called star method.
87
And STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Results.
88
To be honest with you, I used this method recently, well, recently, a couple of years ago, in other job interviews I had, and I also did great.
89
So this is something that really, really will help you in any job interview.
90
Here's an example of what it could sound like.
91
While working at blank company, I had a customer who was very upset about the way a service was delivered.
92
listened actively, apologized sincerely, and offered a small complimentary service to make up for what had gone wrong.
93
The customer left very happy and even left a positive review.
94
There you go.
95
That's your situation.
96
Star, remember.
97
Question four.
98
How would you handle working with people from different backgrounds?
99
This is a big one because trust me, you're going to have people that you may have not heard of before.
100
Like it was the case for me because every time I would step on an aircraft, unless it was a Spanish speaker,
101
no one would know where Uruguay was.
102
Everyone would always ask me, oh, but is that in Europe?
103
Is that in Asia?
104
Is that, where is that?
105
So yeah, you're gonna meet people from all over the world.
106
Small shout out to my Uruguayans who struggle with having to explain to foreigners where our country is
107
and what we're famous for.
108
Although you do usually get "Oh, Suarez, Forlán" with the accent.
109
Shout out to you guys, I feel your pain.
110
So yeah, you gotta remember Emirates is multicultural
111
and what they want to hear is that you're flexible and you're open -minded and that you're respectful.
112
when you get the job, because we are already saying that you're getting the job, that's it, the job is yours, that's how you're gonna walk into this interview with that mindset,
113
but when you do get the job, you are gonna have a conflict or two throughout your career with people from different countries, even if you're not a conflictive person.
114
I'm not, I'm very laid back, I'm chilled, but I've had situations where, you know, maybe something I said was misinterpreted
115
me and we had to clear things up and we were able to
116
because I was very you know open to the fact
117
that okay maybe I offended this person
118
and then it also happened you know the other way around
119
but what I always try to think is okay this person is coming from x country
120
and you know their customs are completely different than me I also thought in advance
121
and this happened as I worked for to how their culture was.
122
So for example, I already knew that if I worked with certain people from certain countries,
123
you know, maybe I wouldn't be as touchy -feely as I would be with people in life because, you know, Latin Americans were very much about like hugging, kissing, this and that.
124
And maybe that wasn't the case for a lot of other countries.
125
So I always had to keep in mind, depending on where that person was from.
126
So the best way to answer this question is basically by
127
cultural diversity and that you know you're very open -minded
128
and you're actually also very excited about learning about other cultures
129
but that you also always keep in mind the fact
130
that people have different you know upbringings and backgrounds and
131
that you're more than happy to adapt you've done it
132
and you'll always do it because that's who you are i don't know something like
133
that question five how would you handle an emergency on board i wasn't asked this question
134
but i did see it a lot articles I read.
135
So I thought it was worth mentioning because, you know, unless you were cabin crew before Emirates,
136
I mean, for me, it would have been hard to answer or I wouldn't have known what to answer.
137
But here's what you need to keep in mind.
138
What they're testing with this question is your calmness and your ability to follow SOPs,
139
which you'll hear about a lot during some things that I would personally try to mention.
140
And number one is stay calm.
141
And actually, trust me, I've had a zillion emergencies, medical, safety, security, everything.
142
And a lot of the crew, even crew with a lot of experience under their belt, didn't stay calm.
143
So it is important that you stay calm.
144
So number one thing to remember to mention, second, following training,
145
in order for you to be the best cabin crew you can be and be able to render first aid and, you know, even put out a fire,
146
you know, handle a drunk customer.
147
So yes, follow training.
148
That's something that you have to add to your reply at some point as well.
149
Prioritizing safety, of course.
150
And, and this is important, working as a team.
151
Because you're not the only one inside the aircraft.
152
You've support you, but you got to think about them too.
153
So I don't know.
154
To answer this question, you could say something like, if I were to come across an emergency on board, I would first of all stay calm.
155
Secondly, I would follow a procedure.
156
So anything you guys teach me at training, I would do.
157
I would try to collaborate with my team and try to handle this emergency and communicate with them clearly.
158
I will of course assist passengers quickly and work with the team to try and manage the situation effectively.
159
You don't really have to describe a specific emergency unless they ask you, which I seriously doubt because,
160
you know, because what they want is for you to come in as like, you know, this blank canvas that they can paint over and make you Emirates cabin crew.
161
I remember doing training, they would tell us all the time, forget anything you learned before.
162
If They already come with, you know, whatever it is that they learned in their previous airlines.
163
And it was true.
164
For me, it was easy because it was my first time flying and I was very, very young.
165
So whatever they taught me, I was like, okay, this is it. So yeah.
166
Now I'm going to give you quick fire tips.
167
First of all, smile all the time.
168
Don't be a weirdo and just go like, no, but smile genuinely.
169
Be nice and be kind.
170
Dress impeccably.
171
Grooming is so important.
172
that I created and it's completely free.
173
It's kind of like a checklist for before the Emirates Open Day.
174
You can download it.
175
I'm going to drop the link in the description so you could just go ahead and get it.
176
Be confident, but be humble, right?
177
Enough said.
178
And this is important.
179
Show that you understand that it's a safety and service job.
180
It's not just a glamorous, I'm going to be traveling traveling around the world, they already know that you're there to travel.
181
But what they want to see is that, you know, you can fake it a little bit and say, "Oh yes, I'm so excited about customer service and you know, I'm very much looking forward to,
182
you know, taking out trash bags in the cabin and, you know, dealing with drunk people." No, they don't want you to say that, but they do want you to,
183
you know, give them a little something something, you know?
184
If you can show them that still make sure that your personality shines through, you're going to do a great job
185
and you're probably going to go through the interview like a breeze and hopefully get the job.
186
I really hope that you found this video helpful.
187
Please make sure that you drop any comments below
188
if you have any questions or maybe you went through the interview and want to add onto, you know, the questions that you got yourself.
189
Feel free to drop them so it helps this beautiful community that watching my videos and I truly,
190
truly hope that you get this job because I know how cool it is and how much it did for me, my career, my life and,
191
you know, my personal growth.
192
So yeah, I'm sure you're going to do a great job.
193
Best of luck.
194
You've got this.
195
I'll see you next time.

דקדוק בסרטון הזה
המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|
| הווה מושלם (Present perfect) have/has + past participle — פעולה שקרתה בעבר ועדיין יש לה חשיבות או השפעה עכשיו | I've had · you've done · I've worked |
| סביל (Passive voice) be + past participle — הדגש הוא על מה שקורה, לא על מי שעושה את הפעולה | is called · was delivered · was misinterpreted |

הדובר משתמש ב-88 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו you're, I'm, don't. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.
- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: shine /ʃaɪn/, aviation /ˌeɪ̯.viːˈeɪ̯.ʃən/, shout /ʃaʊt/, passionate /ˈpæʃənɪt/, professionalism /pɹəˈfɛʃənəˌlɪzəm/

צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: cabin /ˈkæbɪn/, blank /ˈblæŋk/, sarcastic /sɑɹˈkæs.tɪk/, adapt /əˈdæpt/, passionate /ˈpæʃənɪt/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: multicultural /ˌmʌltiˈkʌlt͡ʃəɹəl/, sarcastic /sɑɹˈkæs.tɪk/, complimentary /ˌkɑmplɪˈmɛnt(ə)ɹi/, enrich /ɪnˈɹɪt͡ʃ/, foreigner /ˈfɔɹ.ɪ.nɚ/
- עיצור קולי בסוף מילה — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ בלי להפוך אותם לאטומים: prioritize /pɹaɪˈɒɹ.ə.taɪz/, offend /əˈfɛnd/, shave /ˈʃeɪ̯v/, breeze /bɹiːz/, hug /hʌɡ/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
