Emirates Video Interview

Emirates Cabin Crew Video Interview Questions - Prepare well!

In some countries, Emirates have returned to the Digital Video Interviews as a pre-selection process for the Open Day. Those of you planning to apply as cabin crew with Emirates Airline in these countries will be well aware that as part of your application, you are now required to complete a digital video interview.

The key to successful digital video interview is to practice beforehand so you feel confident with the process.  Bear in mind that a digital video interview carries as much weight as an interview conducted in person, so get well prepared.

Treat it as you are attending in person, so wear your best formal business wear, do your hair up and the Emirates style make-up.

Ensure you use a laptop or desktop instead of your camera phone. Ensure you have a nice window light as bad light could cause video issues. Ensure you have a clutter free desk and conservative background for your recording. Always do a few test runs on HireVue before you start the actual recording.

Here are some of the video interview questions asked.  

It is an initial assessment whether your interpersonal / people skills represent a good fit for Emirates. Here are possible questions that they are likely to ask.

1.  What is an ideal weekend for you?
2. What does the perfect day look like to you?
3. Tell us why you will be a good fit for the cabin crew role?
4. What was your best holiday?
5.  What do you know about life in Dubai?
6.  What do you expect from living in Dubai?
7.  How will Dubai compliment your lifestyle?
8.  Tell us about your hometown
9.  What are the best places to visit in your country?
10. What is your favourite tradition in your country?
11.  How would your describe your personality?
12.  How would you describe the role of a cabin crew?

TIPS:
Answer the questions about yourself in a sincere way and be genuine.  Honesty is the best policy.  The HireVue software can pick up if you are insincere and will score the content of your answers alongside your body language.  The communication skills you need to show are confidence, empathy, friendliness (easy to talk to and approachable), non-verbal communication (HireVue will look at body language and establish if you are stressed, insincere, uncomfortable or nervous).  Remember to be clear and concise in your responses, maintain eye contact, and use a firm but friendly tone.  Do not sound arrogant or aggressive.
