POV: You're Fired from Your Dream Job
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- This week it's your turn to be curious... I'm sure you're wondering where I've been!
In this video, I am getting a bit personal and shedding a tear or two, as I share my experience leaving (or being asked to leave) my dream job of being cabin crew in Dubai.
I still consider the experience one to cherish, as I got to experience living abroad as cabin crew in the Middle East and there's genuinely no feeling that can compare to feeling your dreams actually come true.
I want you to experience the same thing someday, whatever your dream is.
In this video, I share what happened to me though so that the same thing never happens to you.
The airline industry is once again booming and people want to travel. If it's your dream to see the world as Cabin Crew for Emirates, now is the time to apply so don't let my video stop you if it's what you want. Just know what you're in for by watching this video!
What we discuss:
- Is Emirates strict as a company?
- Do looks matter to the company?
- Why was I fired?
- How did I get fired? What was the process?
- What happens after you get fired?
- Where I've been this whole time?
And more!
I really hope this video helps you be more prepared, answer questions related to my personal experience, and help you see that it's not that I forgot about you guys at all, trust me. I missed you just as much if not more.
Thank you so so much for watching my channel!!
See you next time!

Every rejection is a redirection, your destiny is bigger than this. You deserve better and greater things love ❤
Thank you
Absolutely 💯
Every rejection is a redirection. That’s a beautiful sentiment. Most of us have had rejection in our lives 😢
@@kathyt221 It's all about how we handle it that matters ♥ You can do it
You’re capable of anything! You’ll have another great dream and it will become a reality!
It’s not your loss, it’s Emirates loss , any airline would be so lucky to have you. You’re smart, beautiful, speaks different languages & you have so much to offer. Good luck✨🌷🦋Here’s to a new adventure💥
Thank you for your positivity 🤗
Unfortunately, Emirates throws people away because there's always someone else waiting for your job and they have all the money in the world to train them. There is no scarcity at all so they don't need to have a heart.
Emirates didn't lose anything - stop pandering on RUclips like a simp. They got plenty of actual high-quality women who are truly modest and self-respecting who don't tat themselves up to serve high-value clientele
Definitely not a good company to work for. Besides their amazing cabin crew there is nothing good about this company.
It takes alot of courage to tell your story, and it's so encouraging to hear you share what you're going through. Not alot of people are transparent but your kindness and positivity has always been admired. I know you'll find what's meant for you. You deserve it.
Awe thanks Josephine. I am really grateful to be acknowledged like that! Haha I should have brought you to the disciplinary hearing as my witness 😭Comments like these give me hope that the best is yet to come. Thanks 💕
If a company can get rid of you and dispose of you quickly,than they don't need your loyalty.
That's true. I am not saying anything bad about them though not because I'm loyal, but because that is just not how I am.
Sure, and she doesnt need their super lucrative salary she probably wont have again in any other job lol.
@@WickedlNl I already made more after but thanks for your concern for my financial well-being
Follow the rules and don’t be entitled thinking you can get away with it
@@TwilightAudio-yt1ge Please take your shadiness elsewhere
Getting terminated, accepted and then terminated again means that you are meant for something else. You can always try the private aviation sector. NetJets, Vista Jets, or another international airline.
Thanks! I never thought of that. I appreciate the suggestion 💟
@@catbeingcurious Yes. With some, to an extent, you can make your own schedule, as you are a contractor, not an employee. I think there are even agencies that will offer you flights.
I'm a former Airline Flight Dispatcher and interviewed with such companies.
go to Delta, American, United etc. Don't give up. If you must go to Emirates then after a year try again. By that time you would have a ton of flying experience with orher airlines. If you don't persevere they win with they're petty rules. You may find you like the other airlines better. Best wishes. BTW don't put people on a pedestial. The top pedestial is the Lord himself. I'm sure she is NOT that beautiful, not inside anyway
@@dgale1023 She literally said she's not allowed to work for Emirates ever again.
@@MishkaTravels that's good for her, there are other airlines. I've watched other vids about Emirates. What I've seen she is better off.
This is a high quality woman in a class of her own. No hatred, no bitterness, assimilating intellectually the circumstances that have led to her current situation. Hopefully some great employer will see the caliber of human being she is and give her the opportunity she deserves and at which she will surely shine.
You're so articulate and thoughtful! Thank you very much for these kind words. I am genuinely so grateful to you for leaving this comment. Take care of yourself
Sure..
Hello sweetheart! Just watched your video, re: getting fired from EK. Now, I don’t usually comment on posts, but I’ll just say this - It’s their loss and in fact, they did you a huge favour.
I was employed by EK for a number of years as cabin crew, back in 2003. It was toxic then and is clearly not much better today. People from all over the world, desperate to join an organisation that will one day, only disappoint them in the end. The thrill is in the chase, the dream job that is….or so they think. Most crew don’t stay long, they’re happy for about 4 - 6 months until the novelty of flying wears thin, the genuine smiles fade, they’re exhausted. The reality begins to shine through. It wasn’t what they expected at all.
In your case, count your lucky stars above, your termination was a blessing in disguise. 😎
However, important to note that just sometimes….what we can’t have or don’t get can play havoc with our ego…..be mindful of this. In other words, be careful what you wish for and be sure to let go of any remaining disappointment surrounding this experience…..so it doesn’t trick you while hanging around in your head….causing you to reflect and think all sorts. In short….don’t obsess on this experience. Let it go.
Btw….I worked for Etihad too, as cabin crew. Same as EK, just smaller. Someone up there is definitely looking out for you! Your Guardian Angel perhaps!? There’s no such thing as coincidence! The reason for this experience and inner healing will reveal itself, let this happen and when it does, smile and don’t look back!…….There’s bigger plans for you, young lady.
You come across as an intelligent & respectable individual, you present yourself far beyond the requirements of EY & EK. You’re natural and sincere.
Get yourself into VIP cabin crew flying, if flying is what you truly want to do right now. I’m sure the private airlines would only be delighted to recruit you.
DO NOT APPLY TO QATAR AIRWAYS…….🤣
Thank you for your thoughtfully written words. You sound like an angel in disguise yourself!
Please take care 💗
They treat you like children. You're well rid of that type of working environment.
I applied for a job at this big airline as a gate agent. The interview was cut short and obviously I didn't get the job. Months later I found out they have a high turnover and employees complaints. The same position has been open for a while.
My God blessed me with a good job right after I left that interview feeling like a failure!! 🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼
That happened to me,too, in both the airline and railroad industries.. That's how I learned that God is real and loves us like no other can!
@@KutWrite Amen 🙏🏼✝️ I'm happy for you!!!!
Thanks for having the courage to share your experience. I know how difficult it is to lose a job that you spent years preparing for. I wish you the best. You have to roll with the punches through life's ups and downs. You deserved better than that. I spent a painful last few years. I was a caregiver for my parents and the last six months of my mother's life were very difficult physically, mentally and emotionally for me while my brother did nothing to help. We called him out on it, he didn't even go to her funeral blaming us that we told him not to come, not true. He then turns around and sues her estate claiming we took money from the house after I devoted eight years of my life helping my parents. Things have finally settled down but I worked 34 years to be able to travel and enjoy life and the first few years of retirement have been very difficult. So hang in there. I can tell you are a beautiful and sweet young lady with tons of potential and it only takes one person to realize that and you"ll be on your way.❤️❤️🙏🙏
Hey Catharine. Wow what a post. First of all you deserve an applause for being so open and vulnerable on video, and still wanting to put other potential EK candidates on the right path. It shows your true colors and you can only be very proud of that.
I won’t even start about the security lady, because people here have commented enough about it, but I do want to mention I felt that and it’s definitely unacceptable in every human way.
The other thing is you mentioned towards the end of the video that ‘maybe i shouldn’t put my whole heart into something, because you get hurt if it goes wrong’ part; Please don’t ever change that. It’s obviously who you are and part of your uniqueness, personality and talent. It’s like what Steve Jobs said years ago… Stay young, stay foolish… you be you, never apologize for it, just be yourself always. And whatever you do don’t lose yourself and that beautiful authenticity.
I have a reasonably broad network in the aviation industry, and there’s a ton of airlines that are dying to hire you. Also ‘going private’ could be an option, and consider flying Corporate jets (or private jets if you’re one of the lucky few)
Your story truly touched me a lot and I can only wish you the very best. Whatever you do always put your whole heart in, just take setbacks as learnings and focus on what’s next and when next. Let me know if you need anything.
Go ‘n kick some ass Cat, and hopefully… many happy landings 🛬
Thank you very much. This is probably one of the more articulate responses I've had and I'm grateful to have such kind, thoughtful people watch and comment on my videos. It makes me believe in the goodness of humanity. I appreciate your offer and wish you all the best
Thank you for sharing this with us. You are strong!
Thank you for watching and sharing your kindness 💞
When one door closes another opens. You’re destined to do great things, and those two airlines are going to be missing out. Doesn’t mean it hurts or disappoints any less though. I’m sorry. I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors ❤
No words, just love, hugs, and respect. I know you are more than enough to have an amazing life. These two companies can’t afford what you truly deserve. You have no idea how much you touched and inspired me today thank you for sharing your story. Iloveyou!💕
I love your comment. Thanks for being so positive 🤗
Oh I'm so sorry for your heartbreak! It is devastating to hear you speak about it. You are wonderful and a bigger dream awaits you. Don't lose hope ❤
I'm so sorry to hear your experiences but I'm happy for you for being on your way to make peace with it and share it with us. I think sharing it takes away a lot of the pain as one part of it is shame and as you can see, people here are so supportive of you. I'm sure it's not easy. But I really hope you are able to turn the situation around and when you are on the opposite side of this, you'll look back and see that these current "lows" is what makes your next chapter sweeter. Like the other comments say, you are beautiful and intelligent. Be confident. And I would suggest to try different airlines, if you are still interested. Maybe Cathay Pacific or Jetstar or something like that. But maybe best wait until it's completely removed just to be safe. Good luck and love from Indonesia!
Thank you so much for your kind message 🤗
This video randomly showed up in my feed, i was so interested in the title,so read on & was mesmerized by your story ,how arriculate you are, & how resiient you were to immediately try for another airline..I'm an old lady now,but WAY back ,long before you & your subs were ever born,i applied for a position at a now defunct airline, was rejected & was devastated, i was so devastated that i stupidly would not try for any other airlines ( something i have always regretted.)
So,keep on trying, even if this leads you on a different path,just never give up!
Best wishes!
Hello, Cat.
This video randomly popped up in my recommendations and after watching it I feel a desperate need to tell you some things. Please excuse my English since I’m not a native speaker.
1. You’ve probably been told this a million times before, but your manner of speaking reveals you as a very intelligent, deep and thinking person. I don’t care how ridiculous it sounds considering I’ve only watched a 20-minutes-long videoclip of you - such a person is visible immediately, from the first sentence they utter. I can also tell by how genuine and open-hearted you are that you’ve overcome some challenges in life, Emirates being just one of them, and managed to remain a good person. It’s so uncommon to run into someone like this, both on the Internet and in real life. I’m happy I came across your channel and I’ll follow your journey, no matter what path you’ll choose.
2. I’m really sorry this happened to you since you are a perfect candidate for this role, for sure. Hearing stories like yours always turns me to reflection about how ruthless and dismissive this corporate culture is sometimes to an individual, their story and potential. In my opinion, YOU are a missed opportunity for Emirates, not vise versa. Please, try to think of it this way, because it’s true.
3. It’s super random, but I’ve never met a person who speaks 7 languages. I’m very impressed and curious to know which languages are these and how you’ve managed to not only learn, but also maintain them. I can guess they are Spanish, French and English, but what are the rest?
4. Please seek your dream and never give up, no matter if it’s aviation or something else. I’m very afraid to give any advice, because I know how ignorant and out of place it may sound from a stranger, but I guess you can reapply for Etihad, FlyDubai or AirArabia after you tattoo removal is done. I know what it feels to be lost in life - I’ve been there myself.
5. You are a strikingly beautiful, talented, intelligent and strong-willed young lady. You have everything to be happy. Your situation deserves understanding and sympathy, but you as a person do not deserve condescending pity, you know what I mean? Everything will turn out the best possible way for you.
Once again, excuse my English.
Greetings from Belarus!
Hi, thank you so much for your articulate and thoughtful response. I really am grateful that this video has resonated with people I did not anticipate on RUclips... Your words are so kind and supportive, I can only imagine how great of a person you are too.
I speak English, French, Spanish, Italian and Farsi fluently and some German and Portuguese. I intend to make a video about this so stay tuned to find out more
Thank you once again for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your words 💝
@@catbeingcurious wow very impressive!! will stay tuned for your language videos
Nothing to excuse
Your English is superb
@@catbeingcurious Ahhh. Your name and mastery of Farsi probably said "Iranian" to the Emirates AND Etihad people. As I recall the two countries are at opposite ends of Islam and have fought often.
If that's not it, I suspect it's something similar would have gotten you disqualified at some point. May I guess there are no Jews, especially Israelis, working there?
I agree about Cat's beauty. I can only imagine the looks of the lady she thought was so beautiful.
this is so sad. Life is full of hard and painful lessons. i pray that you overcome this & one day look back thankful bc your firing lead you somewhere better. ❤
Thank you
Every rejection is a redirection!❤
💖💖
This is EXTREMELY heartbreaking. Especially knowing that it was such an innocent mistake. I literally just flew into Vancouver today for the assessment day on Tuesday but after watching this I don’t know how I feel. I feel your pain and I wish you could have a do over with Emirates. 😭 I know it’s hard to believe but there’s better things in store for you and God will reveal that soon. Sending you lots of love ❤️
Thank you very much for your comment. I can feel how kindhearted you are in your words. I don't mean to speak poorly of the company in this video, or to discourage you from pursuing this field if that's what you want 💟Thanks for being a light
You are a winner because you learned a lot out of this experience and you dared to do it and share it with the world. Such a brave girl 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️
Thank you for your kindness
Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable. I worked for a company for years that had similar physical standards and it’s exhausting being under that constant pressure. It’s a 24/7 job. I truly admire your resilience and positive attitude.
Thank you! I'm sure you're very strong too
You’re a class act and I’ve got a good feeling that you’re going to do great things! ❤️❤️
Wow thank you ☺❤
I came across your channel/this video randomly in my feed and just have to say my heart breaks for you especially when your voice starts breaking when you're overcome with sadness.
However, I am a firm believer that when you're being rejected from something, it's God's way of protecting you and it's meant to redirect you elsewhere. What's meant for you is out there. 💜
Thank you for your kind comment 💟
That's kinda creepy that they examine you regularly like it's the 1950s or something!
Hello Cat, wow! you've been through a lot, darling. Yet, you took the bull by the horns and with the strength of a true warrior. I admire your resilience. I cannot imagine being so far from your homeland and love ones, while going through these two awful experiences in foreign countries. I wonder how many of those 'beautiful women' could still be standing in one piece and carry-on 'on their own', in similar circumstances. You are a great young lady and true role model. Never change. And about those naysayers with their comments, don't mind them neither pay attention to anyone hiding behind an screen and a keyboard in front of them. Haters or people that put down others are, for the most part, feeling bad about themselves, with nothing to offer, envious and with no guts to show their own face and admitting their flaws as you have. As a true Christian, you have proven 'by our love, they will know we are Christians by our love'... God bless you for making the world a better place in sharing your experience to help others. Keep shining with love, dear Cat.
It's strange to say because we've never met, but I know from past comments n my videos that I can always count on you for a kind thing to say. I am grateful you watch my videos. You're so supportive, the people in your life are lucky to have you.
@@catbeingcurious The world is lucky to have you, Cat. It takes guts of steel to share with the world what happened to you, while maintaining a very mature and professional attitude (I would actually say, a true Canadian attitude by being very diplomatic and polite in the entire video). You ought to work for a developed country where your brain, your strong skills, business acumen, leadership, communications abilities and work experience be appreciated to make the work a better place and impact the industry you choose. You are too humble. I know that God will one of these days show you the way, meanwhile, keep smiling, being yourself and never change your attitude about being kind, respectful and loving like a true professional. The best is yet to come. God bless you, Darling!
The company that doesn’t hire you is the loser. You’re such a beautiful, talented, intelligent and caring person. You will always be a valuable asset to any company who is wise enough to hire you. Wishing you the best in all future endeavors….😊
Don't cry beautiful Lady, you have a big life outside waiting for you full of love, happiness ups and downs, you still young, beautiful, Smart, and sure well educated, InshaAllah the best is coming to your door
Thank you
Thanks for sharing !
Things happen for a reason and you will find a path to success 🙏
I really admire you for your resilience. Thanks for sharing your experience. You are one of a kind and maybe is just God protecting you somehow. Hugs! ❤
Thank you for your kind comment 🥰I like to think so. Cheers
Wow thanks for sharing your experience Cath, I know that there are no words to console u, u tried, and tried even harder, you gave your everything and feels like u only got so much pain in return, such a hard experience, and it’s not easy to come back from there, your dream life was taken away from your hands, I def feel you. From this experience u are getting a stronger you, loving w no expectations, and literally u will enjoy how beautiful life is every single second cause everything else apart from the now is just not here. Hugs for your soul my Cath ❤
Thank you so much ❤
First time watching your channel.I’m numb listening to your horrible treatment and experience with both airlines.I have no words just to say huge loss to them,you are clearly an exceptional employee.All you did was be honest about the tattoo which has been removed.Sending you love from London xx
Thank you very much 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story. I felt your emotion in your voice. With all of your talent (speaking multiple languages) is an asset. Something will turn up for you. Hang in there 😊
Thank you ☺
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. Keep your head up and stay strong. You're an inspiration for me
That's so kind of you to say. Thanks for your comment Haseeb!
You’re made for bigger and better things girl!! ❤ That’s how the universe works. Won’t let you settle. Just trust the process 🤗
Life is telling you to have bigger dreams, from this video it seems obvious that you can do much much more than being a flight attendant
Thank you 💜You're very thoughtful
Your video took a lot of guts. Bravo! You are understandingly upset. I wish you the best!
Thank you
Hi Cat,
I just discovered your channel and wow, I have to say : you're something rare on internet --> Authentic.
You choose LOVE over FEAR to talk about this !! i admire you, truly. I subscribe to your channel because I really want to follow what life has in store for you, take care of yourself :)
Thank you for your comment 🤗 Takes one to know one. I'm sure you're pretty special too 💌
I've never seen anyone speak so honestly with all that had happened. I really do feel the pain through your smile. I really do wish you all the best, and may God bless you more than what you lost. Good Luck.
Hope to always share honestly on my channel Thanks for watching
Cat I am rooting for you, girl! Your destiny is bigger than this indeed. I know it has hurt so much and shaken you to your core. However, there is more out there for you. Honestly, my sixth sense is that you dodged a bullet. You have huge amounts to offer. I will keep you in my thoughts, and I know you are going to heal and integrate this experience to become unstoppable. 💖
Thanks for your kindness It means a lot to me
Thanks for sharing your story. You're a brave woman. Though I feel sad for what happened to you, I also feel that you're in for better things. Have courage! As Catriona Gray said, "To anyone with a dream, know that your dreams are valid. And on your path you are never denied, but only redirected."
Your story was so touching . God has much bigger plans for you. 🙏🙏
Thank you ☺
You have shown some courage by making this vlog. It shows up the strength of your character that you are a better person.
Thanks a lot ☺
You are so incredibly brave and strong. I felt everything you said personally you have lifted me up . Best wishes from the UK.
I'm so glad I could help. Have a nice day
My child you have a sweet personality. Don't be discouraged. Our Lord Almighty has better assignments for you. Have faith in our Lord . He is working wonders for you. Soon you will receive His reward. Be strong. All the very best. God bless you my child
Don't worry you'll be fine Cat. Much love and a big hug! ❤️ 🤗
Thank you!
You are a great person for being transparent and showing all of us your disappointment and adversity. People should take note and learn from your experience. And cheer up, most important thing is that you are alive and you will live to have another dream and conquer it. This was a beautiful, heart warming and humane story.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
You are so pretty and nice . Thanks for being so honest and sharing your experience. Wish u luck and success bcs everything happens for a reason)
🥺🥺🥺
Chin up and keep smiling! A job does not define who you are, it is just a tool to showcase your inward and outward beauty. Every gold medalist in the Olympics failed sometime in their career and yet here they are with a medal. Don't settle for one career, with your beauty and brains try as many as your imagination comes up with. Life is about the journey not the end game.
What a great perspective, thank you
I can relate. Feel really sad for you Cat. Rejections lead towards your dream. Inshallah, you will get your dream job.
Thank you very much
I salute your composure and the better future continues now. I've been laid off 4x and always it gets better each time so I am very content and wish the same for you.
Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for your kind comment
Girl ❤I’m sending you a big bear hug !!! 🤗 you are a warrior. Thank you for sharing your story, you have no idea how many people you are inspiring right now. There are bigger & better plans in store you. Love you Cat ❤️
Thank you for watching 💟
You r so gracious in explaining all this without any ill feeling -this itself explains about your professionalism. Pl treat it as your temporary loss-so much to come in life-Patience and anger management is the key to success- which you already have-god bless you and keep going.
Thank you so much!
Everything happens for a reason. God is in control♥️.
What goes around comes around, so stay positive and good things will happen in your life ! God bless you
Thank you very much ☺
Thanks for sharing all this - and good luck - you'll find other great things!!
@@heartspeak3901 thank you 🙏🏼
You speak better than the people from the management of my Ex-Airline which is also a pretty big one.
You should open a new channel and be a motivational speaker or just open a travel or food vlog channel coz when you talk , I’m sure people will listen.
All the best.
You guys are so supportive and wonderful lol 🥲 I'm so grateful such good people watch my channel
Omg that's so terrible!! I'm so sorry you had to go thru that!! You sound like a super talented person and I'm sure the perfect thing will come up!!
Thank you so much!
Girl, it takes so much to share your stories and I’m truly inspired ❤. Thank you for being vulnerable through it all! I know this not the end at all for you and cannot wait to see (or not!) what’s in store for your future ❤
Thank you for your kind words
Truly sorry to hear what happened. I always believe that if something good happens to you, then that's obviously good. But of the good does not happen, then even better. Because that means God has destined you for something better than the good you had been aiming for. And this better will come to you at the right time.
You are a brave young lady. Needs lot of courage to share. I wish you the very best for your future endeavors.
Thank you for sharing your comment 🙂
Am really sorry about the whole experience dear.,it’s so heartbreaking
Am sure you will get something better that aligns with your purpose
Thank you ☺
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. i had a similar break down at me last open day in march 2024 , after i made it to the final interview i was the last candidate to be interviewed , as i sat down the recruiter hit me with the bad news, telling me that i don't want to give you hope and do an interview because i know that the hiring managers won't accept you. i literally froze and started asking why what's the reason ??! is it my cv , age, nationality, work experience or my height ????!! the recruiter said that she can not say why unfortunately, i literally started crying , like i've been here since 8:30 am and it's 8:30 pm now this whole day feeling nervous and excited that i am finally getting closer to my dream , why did you keep me till the end ? why didn't you just send me home from the first group discussion ? i asked her was it my looks , was it how i was in the group activities ? she said no, she also started getting emotional because of how i broke down in frustration, she said if you guess the reason i will confirm it , i said age , work experience , nationality , height ? she said yes , the height , i told her but i am above the minimum height of 160cm , she said but according to my measurement you are 161cm , i was confused ?! i said but even 161cm is above the minimum , and i wouldn't even apply if i knew that i don't have the basic requirements , she said i know i hope one day this will change and it would be clearer . i just sat there and cried and she even asked me have you applied to other airlines , why don't you try with Etihad , you can also apply for the customer service roles , while handling me a tissue.
so i fee your pain and i do feel that you are just a number to them , i was even asking myself , like i am not even hired with this company and i already feel like i am not treated well , what would have happen if i signed a contract and then found out how they treat their employees ? is everything i hear and see online true.
i don't know if i would try again honestly , maybe other airlines but not emirates.
I'm sorry you had this experience but I hope that life shows you why you were taken to another path. You can't miss what is meant for you 💟
@@catbeingcurious thank you for your kind words , and i hope you achieve your dream one day and inspire many to not give up 🙏
That doesn't make any sense. Why would they not accept you if you are above the minimum height? does that mean they don't even accept someone who is 160?
@@cearaviancabalane500 It's like beauty pageants. Some of them have no height requirements at all but we all know the shortest contestant is not gonna win.
@@cearaviancabalane500 i don't know why , but I've been seeing several comments on fb groups saying that they only accept people whom are 165cm and taller , i know it's unprofessional and discriminating for such a big company , but i know one thing the recruiter can't really really tell the reason , i felt it was just to give me closure and not be sad u know, i wouldn't really know unless i try with a different recruiter , then that will conform if it's actually about the height or not .
Thank you for the beautiful testimony. I wish you all the best!
Thank you!
You deserve the best girl! keep going good things are coming your way
Thank you !!
Are yiu crying for Émirats ? Really? A company who treat their staff as slaves. I flew business with them several times and i felt sorry for the wonderful crew. Their slavish devotion it's too much. Émirats it's like Dubai, they take poor people and use them as slaves for customer services or crew. So please no more crying. You're a beautiful girl who speaks 7 languages you said, you seem to have a good soul, so God will lead you to the top. Just foget Émirats You're too good gor them !🙏❤❤🇨🇵
Merci c'est gentil 🌺
In my 76 years (and counting) I've found there are some of us who TRY to fit into the pegs they try, from childhood on, to shape us for. But some of us just won't fit. We try, and are so sad when - once again - we've been rejected.
But some of us just can't push down that spark of independence, that "Hey, I am ME!" that's in everyone to varying degrees.
Once you accept and understand that, each interview will be YOU interviewing your employer, deciding if they are human enough to accept people with a reasonable number of (what they see as) flaws. If they don't measure up, fire THEM!
Or... do something on your own or with a friend... but don't start a partnership... that's a bad marriage without the sex!
God will help you if you reach out to Him. He did it for me, and hey, I'm nobody special.
Really? Treat them as slaves? Be real FFS
@@CloughReviews YES AS SLAVES.
Agreed!
With the knowledge of 7 languages, you can become a career diplomat for your home country. I do sincerely hope you're doing well and wish you the very best wherever you go in life.
Thank you so much!
You are better than this. Every hardship is another start. Hang on, you're going to get over it, I'm sure.
Thanks
You deserve so much more than this job! You’re beautiful and smart, it is all Gods plan and this two bad situation happened to bring you to a better place where you really belong ❤️ it will take time to find out maybe, but you’ll definitely understand what was the real purpose of all this ❤️
I hope so 💖 Thank you
Your abrave and blessed woman ,dont give up yet, Life has something better for you.
Thank you for your positivity
Tattoos at 7:25. This is one reason to never get tattoos, at least in visible places. There are a number of companies that do not like tattoos on employees.
This video came up randomly in my suggested, and... I don't ever feel compelled to leave comments on RUclips videos, but woof this one hit differently. As somebody who's been through a lot of surprise changes in my life, who has also been let go from what was a dream job before, it was really healing and restorative to watch you speak about your journey and your experience, and with such maturity, objectivity, and vulnerability all at once (I mean, it's your goddamn life). And humour. You seem to be amazingly resourceful and even though the whole situation just effing sucks (my jaw was dropped for like half the video because... these companies won't ever grasp of how much of a human consequence these huge, sweeping decisions can be... because unfortunately they don't have to) I have to agree with some of the others in the comments that you're absolutely destined for something greater. I know you'll find a way to see the world some other way. Much love from a fellow Torontonian
You're so kind. Life blindsides all of us lol and it's all about how we handle it. It makes me happy that my viewers are so intelligent, well-spoken and empathetic. Hope you go far in life 💌
@@catbeingcurious I have a beard and bold, will this be a problem working in emirates ?
Hey your vid just popped up randomly and I was ex EK crew as well so kinda caught my attention here. I was let go as well during the pandemic and first of all I'm sorry that this had happened to you. I hope you recovered from this ordeal soon enough! Don't worry there is no timeline on how long you should heal.. follow your heart and if it's still not ok then you're not there yet.. I used 2 full years to fully accept my new life (away from EK dream job too) and yeah am still chasing for new dreams 😂 sending hugs from Msia! All the best in your new plans! Take care ❤
@@kfckfc961 Clean shaven for beard, but bald I'm not sure. Ask a recruiter maybe. You can find the requirements here: www.emiratesgroupcareers.com/cabin-crew/
@@krystletan8695 You're so kind! All the best to you too. I know that your new life and dreams will be much more fulfilling ☺ You're never alone 🤗
The company may have hired more people than they needed, expecting some to drop out before training day. Then when they didnt drop out, the ones at the end of the list may have been dropped. You may have been put at the end of the list because of the tattoo. When you have adjusted to what has happened, I think this is a new opportunity to go back to school and train for a new career. Teacher, nurse, lawyer, journalist - whatever. And once your in a new life path, life will be back to normal. A new normal, but you will be happy again. Im 65 and I have kids who I think are around your age. My 30 year old is a vet and my 26 year old was a registered nurse and has now started a new life path in medical school. Other youtubers have said that your job is a temporary career (for various reasons) until you discover your real life path. So now its time to get a marketable qualification.
This is good advice, thank you 💓
Their loss. You are beautiful, inside and out.
so proud of you Cat and so glad you exist ❤. youre so brave and have been through so much. ❤️💪🏻
Thanks Katie! I appreciate having great friends like you ☺
Hi Cat,
Your video popped up randomly on my YT feed and I am glad that I clicked on it and watched it.
Thank you for being courageous in sharing your story. You have such remarkable strength and I pray that you do not let these disappointments in life derail you from you are and who you were created to be. As much as it may be painful right now - and it may make absolutely no sense in this moment - some day you will look back and realise the higher purpose behind it all, and you will be thankful that it turned out the way it did. These storms in life do not come to destroy you; they come to strengthen, empower and elevate you so trust in God’s perfect way and allow yourself to be led to where you are meant to be ❤
You are intelligent, radiant, articulate and you shine wonderfully from within. These are your gifts and if certain people cannot see beyond what’s literally skin deep, that is truly their loss. You are going to make wonderful strides with your life; I fully believe and KNOW this to be true for you. Hold on to your faith, your character, your ability to transform wounds into wisdom and go out there and live life to the fullest and without regret.
Be prospered Cat. Some days will be easier than others but KNOW this to be true for you… Good things are coming your way and you will understand that the setback was only a setup for your greatest chapter yet 💛
Thank you! That's the plan :)
You are incredibly brave to put out this story to the world.
If it can help one person, bravery is a no-brainer ☺
I worked in Human Resources for many years, and Etihad sounds very unprofessional. People quit their jobs after receiving employment offers. So, they are without paychecks until receiving their "start date." Did you ever look into Cathay Pacific or Thai Airlines? When one door closes, another opens.
I think you are not really understanding why they did not choose you. It’s not anything like you are thinking. It has nothing to do with your tattoo (which could be easily hidden.). What they don’t say outright is that you are too intelligent for the job! You speak 7 languages! Definitely over qualified & smart enough to know your rights…just what they don’t want! The people they choose must be bubble heads & not fight them on anything cause they know they pull illegal & unfair work practices!!!! Do not grieve this!!! You are not aware of how disgusting these “corporations” run their business!!! These type positions are the bottom feeder positions in these fields. You can do way way better!!! May I suggest applying for government interpreter position. I believe you will find that much more to your benefit.
It's sweet of you to put it into this perspective. I appreciate your support.
Aww man i feel for you. Kudoos to you for being so strong and share this with the world. I hope all your other dreams whatever you chose is fulfilled
I'm sorry to hear about your what happened. Firstly you are so beautiful and very honest. Plz don't cry anymore. Don't give up everything will be fine 🙏. I will send you my ❤❤❤❤
Their loss, at least I know to never travel with them if they feel that way about tattooed people. You thought it'd be gone by then, and it doesn't show anyway if you're wearing the jacket, or cover it with Dermablend ... they're petty. A tiny tattoo that is being removed and can easily be covered with makeup shouldn't mean someone loses their job, it was a mistake, a genuine one. Hope they never make mistakes
I appreciate your compassion
This is so crazy:( I m sorry to hear that happened to you. Everything happens for a reason :)
What a horrible experience 😢, and thank you for being brave enough to share this information. Hopefully you come back again with a whole new and fulfilling experience to your story. The best is yet to come 😊
I love how you express yourself 😊 you’re beautiful
Thank you so much. Takes one to know one ☺
EK is strict .. and exactly what you said.. look comes first with them there. As far as I see, you didn’t lose much, cos after all, there’s no permanent living in Dubai. They pay you well, but they use you a lot too. And it’s a term contract where you might get extended every couple of years. That means it’s an evaluation throughout your contract. In the end, if you leave the company, you pack and go, it doesn’t matter how long and how much you got yourself attached to it. Dubai isn’t the most comfortable place to live. I worked for them on the ground.. It was a hardest job in the industry. And now I’m flying with AC. Yes, conditions are different. Yes, pays are not as great at first, but things get better overtime and we live our chill life where the collective environment protects us. Home is where your heart feels rested at, not where the glams are. I went to Dubai for my training back then, Now I know that I’m so happy to be home
Thanks for sharing this. It's a very encouraging perspective 🙂
Who knows what you've been saved from? Maybe your angels closed that door. Life is a beautiful but strange thing. I wish you the best! You are an honest and strong woman. It will all be fine! ❤️🙏
Thank you Anne-Marie 💟
Girl thank you for this video! You def got a new follower❤️ Take it easy and keep dreaming! You are special
Thank you very much 💟
Last year I found what I thought was my dream house... 3 doors from mine and perfect... I put my house for sale, applied to buy the new one, got accepted, and actually started packing... and then... the house went to someone else. It took me about a year to get over it but I see clearly that this was not what I really needed. I'm on a new path and it's going to be so amazing ❤
Thanks for sharing. You can't miss what's meant for you ♥
The reason your offer was retracted was because Emirates would have been obligated to tell them that you lied when applying to them. It was nothing to do with the tattoo itself.
Could be
@@catbeingcurious It may have been for a higher reason that has nothing to do with earthly matters.
Trust God (or Allah, if you prefer). I did and He helped me more than I could have helped myself! And I'm no one special.
Etihad did a background check including prior employment and found out she had been at Emirates and the circumstances surrounding her firing. That gave Etihad sufficient concern whether she could be trusted (I know, but the fact is she did it, period), and Etihad doesn’t need to hire someone who is willing to violate company policy and lie about it. There were 699 other candidates in that room, and 699 thousand elsewhere who’d jump at the chance to work there. It sucks but those are the rules of the game.
@@kcindc5539 It is possible, however at this point it is speculation unless you work there. Not to mention the point of the video is just to help others not really to judge who is in the right here... I am very clear on respecting the companies but helping those who don't know how long tattoo removal can take. Thanks
A lie is a lie
Honestly this is just the job culture in the UAE. Hire and fire...
But there are always other opportunities!! Keep your head up ❤
You stay strong ❤
Everything happens for a reason
I cried with you! I am happy you are moving past this. You are smart, beautiful, and fabulous. ❤❤
Bless you 🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing. You deserve an amazing life ❤️
You too!
Be strong girl 🤗 I know the pain because I’ve been rejected for my scar in qatar and indigo airlines, lateron waited 2 years for covid and finally got the job with the same scar!!!! So don’t lose hope. I know it’s painful. God definitely has a better plan. ❤
Congrats on getting it and thank you
You are an inspiration, truly. I wish you success and only success ❤
Thank you for your comment!
Sorry to hear about your story. Don’t give up your dream. I had a similar scenario that happened to me, but I just got back up, And brushed off the dirt off my knees and kept on and found a new opportunity and still there. Honestly, there are better airlines in this planet anyway. Vos vas hacer muy bien en tu futuro con los aerolíneas..👏🏼👍🏽
I had this Job and 💯 Honestly I prayed to get fired. I was housed in the White Building which was a gross old place. I had to surrender my passport. When I went to the Mall's to shop small minded shop workers giggled at me insinuating I was a prostitute when I gave my Emirates staff address. Then I had a couple disgusting female superiors who would wave their finger in my face for nothing threatening myself and other cabin crew members saying " one way ticket home" I felt bad for my colleagues who came from disadvantaged countries petrified but I was from the UK and laughed at the bullies. I was pleased I did the job but pleased when I left. UAE is a bubble everyone should experience once but get back to reality. My soul craved genuine realness. I wish you a bright future. Fortune favours the Bold! You tried and now onto another adventure ❤
The world is ready for you. Emirates isn't. And that's... okay. ❤ There are bigger things out there, things much closer to your Soul Plan perhaps!
Bless you!! I was crew for 10years and Japan Airlines for 5years and was my dream job and glad i fulfilled it but let me tell you I have a number of friends who worked for Emirates and the glory of it quickly fades as they are so ruthless and tough to work for. I know thats not gonna help as youd like to make your own experiences but Emirates turned me down after submitting my photo at the last round, guess i wasnt pretty enough but they did me a favour and all worked out great for not going through what my friends described as a golden prison and getting JAL! Pick yourself up there are a world of airlines out there and you will have every success!!! 👋👋💯💯💯
That's so kind, thanks a lot !
You're gonna be great. Life throws us a few knocks but we get back up and makes us stronger!!
Looking forward to ur new journey 💯💪
