Hi everyone! 🤍 Thank you so much for showing up today! As always it was such a pleasure to practice and prepare together. The recording is now live and in the highlights you can find the English test practice. Make sure to go through the test before our next session. You will find the full answer key at the end of the Google Doc. Next week we are continuing with the Emirates final interview practice and one more group discussion scenario, so come ready to participate, practice out loud, and push yourself. See you next Wednesday! 🛩️

Today, I want you to learn from someone else's mistakes that led to a rejection at the Etihad Open Day in Prague. One of my recent students reached out after receiving a rejection and asked me to analyse what might have gone wrong and how she could prepare for her next attempt. Below is the email, with only her personal details changed to protect her identity. After her email, you'll find my analysis and the key lessons that every future candidate should take away from this. "I went to the open day place 8:50am so I started with the other candidates from 9:00. There were 40-50 people at that time! For the CV drop, they actually said they wouldn’t take any paper CVs for sustainability reasons, so I didn’t have a chance to hand them my CV. Instead, we needed to fill out the form after the interview was done. I talked with a male recruiter, and our conversation was like this: Me: Hi! How are you? Recruiter: I'm good, how are you? Me: I'm also good, thank you! Recruiter: What's your name? Me: I'm Ji-eun. Recruiter: Sorry, could you say it again? Me: I'm Ji-eun Kim. Recruiter: Where are you originally from? Me: I'm from Korea! Recruiter: Did you come all the way here from Korea? Me: No, I'm currently living in Berlin, so I came here from Berlin. Recruiter: What are you doing in Berlin? Me: I'm working at a café and a souvenir shop! Recruiter: Oh, a souvenir shop! How did you know about Etihad? Me: I actually wanted to join Etihad from a year and a half ago, and I really love the company's atmosphere and also the beautiful uniform. Recruiter: I appreciate that, thank you. Do you have any friends in Etihad? Me: Yes, I actually have! I heard she's going to join in August! And then he asked me to scan the QR code and I left the room. I filled out the form after I got back to my hotel. I actually couldn't give up, so I changed the email address and applied online again that same night." After reading through her conversation, these are the biggest lessons I want everyone in this community to take away:
