Shadowing Practice: MASTER the EMIRATES Crew INTERVIEW: 11 Essential Questions - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hi guys.

My name is Karla, I am forever dead -liked and welcome back to my channel.

Today we're going to talk about 11 questions that you might get for your final interview for Emirates.

This is a subject that I've been talking about before, but I never compiled a list of questions.

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.

And I'm going to try to give you some, I don't know, guidelines.

as to how to answer them. So let's get started!

First of all...

I'm sorry for the background noise.

My dog is here!

Second of all, I know I've been quiet lately, I haven't posted in a while.

I had to move from Mexico to Romania.

A lot has been happening, but now I'm back and I can't wait to share more of my experience about Emirates.

Maybe, just maybe, I can help you get your dream job.

So, today we are gonna be talking about what kind of questions could you get for your final interview with Emirates.

So let's assume you went through all the stages, you passed all the rounds and you finally got to your final interview.

First of all, congratulations if you're in that position.

You made it so far.

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.

I wanna give you some guidelines.

Like I said, I have a list of questions that you might get and maybe it's gonna help.

But before we start, I want to say that these questions are not foolproof.

They might change the questions.

There might be some variations.

This is not a proper, you know, Emirates approved lists.

So don't expect to have exactly the same question.

I'm not going to give you word by word answers.

I'm just going to give you some guidelines help you answer them.

Also, the list of questions is not going to include the, you know, the typical questions like tell me a bit about yourself.

What's your work history, you know, all these questions that you get in every interview.

Now, let's start with question number one, which is a bit of a regular question, but I want to talk about it.

Question number one would be, Why do you want to work for Emirates?

And here they might attach a little bit of another question.

What do you know about Emirates?

With this question you really have to do your homework.

You have to go on the website, read about Emirates, read articles, I don't know, maybe know the company values,

where they fly to, you don't have to know all the destinations but you know.

approximately how many destinations they have, what type of aircrafts.

You have to know a little bit about a company

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.

Here I'm gonna give you a tip.

Emirates is very proud that they are the safest airline in the world, they never had a crash.

Maybe you could mention this in the interview

that you want to work for the safest airline you know they haven't had a crash ever

and that is a very important point for you and that's why you want to work for them.

There you go, I just got this idea.

Okay, another question that they might ask and this is a series of questions about yourself.

They might ask: "Where have you traveled so far?" or "What's your opinion about

different cultures here they just want to know how open you

are to you know working with different nationalities different cultures this is again a very very important aspect for them

because they are very proud

that they have 120 i believe nationalities working for them they want to make sure

that whoever they hire is going to be happy to be part of such a diverse group so this is very

here that you have no problem with any nationality, you're open -minded, you're curious maybe about different cultures and their customs,

the way they, I don't know, cook their food, that's very important at the end of the day.

You are gonna work on every flight with different nationalities, different cultures, you're even gonna live with someone that is not

from your country it's very important that you're open that's why they also ask where have you traveled before because

they also want to know if you you know

if you've never been out of your country maybe you don't

know what different cultures mean you don't know what to expect

so they want to see how well prepared you are and also how open -minded you are for you know

this whole experience.

Another personal question that they asked me in my interview, this I remember very clearly,

they asked me how close I am with my family and if I'm gonna miss them.

Maybe they asked me this because I was very young, I was only almost 21 when I went for the final interview.

Yeah, they asked me how close I am with my family, if I ever lived far from them.

I remember I mentioned that I have a baby brother.

and they asked me if i'm close to him

if i'm gonna miss him

if i've ever been you know away from my family for a long time i had the luck

that i did live for three months in a different city in romania

but you know i know it's nothing at

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.

They seemed to believe me when I said that yes, I'm gonna miss them but I'll manage.

The next questions that I'm going to talk about are related to your work experience.

They're going to ask you, tell me a time when you overcame a difficult situation at work

or have you ever worked with someone that you didn't like and how did you manage that situation?

For these questions, honestly, if you don't have experience or you don't know exactly what to say or how to,

you know, say the best thing maybe make up a story that's fine you have to show

that you are able to keep your professionalism in every situation whether it's a i don't know a colleague

that doesn't like you or a colleague

that you don't like whether it's a difficult situation where you lose your temper

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...

That's it.

another question that they might ask is how did you resolve a conflict with a colleague

and this is a very important question for them knowing what they're looking for

and how they want their employees to be this is a very important question

because like i said they have a lot of nationalities people

from different backgrounds people from different i don't know countries cultures So for them it's very important

that you are able to resolve a conflict without escalating it

and it's normal that conflicts arise when you have such a diverse group of people.

Here it is very important that you mention two steps in resolving a conflict with a colleague.

First of all you have to communicate with that colleague, you have to tell them how you feel,

you have to tell them what bothers you or what happened, what you did wrong, what they did wrong,

basically give them feedback on what happens.

If you cannot resolve it with that colleague

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.

So you do have to inform a superior.

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

188

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
