Closing this chapter

Over the past 2 and a half years I have received some amazing messages and feedback in my inbox about how helpful the tips and blogs have been to help you through the recruitment process not only with Emirates but other airlines and travel industry jobs aswell.

I am reflecting on this journey with Emirates beaming with joy. This job has created so much opportunity for me to expand my knowledge and to meet some incredible and influential people.
As my time is now ending in my career in aviation, I feel I am so blessed to have been granted this position.
In my travels I hold some special memories but the most special by far has been meeting my beau, Omar.
In all honesty, it has not been an easy journey flying - I have really struggled sometimes with the lack of sleep and stress it has put under my body. Not only that, but suffering from a health issue that flying has exacerbated and made working at 38,000 feet that bit more challenging.
Fortunately, Emirates were incredible support in helping with my recovery back into good health. My partner Omar has made such a positive influence in my life and trust me, good relationships here go a long way! It has made all the difference in my lifestyle here in Dubai.

With life taking it's course, it's time for me to close a chapter in my book. I will be staying in Dubai moving back into the health and fitness industry, focusing on my own wellness and building a stable life with my partner (Inshallah!)
So goodbye to Emirates - C'est la vie!

To everyone still wishing to apply or going through the application process, don't give up. This is an incredible job to travel, meet new people, expand your horizons and do the unimaginable.
To those on their way over starting their position now, stick in there. Come in with ZERO expectations and just simply experience it for what it is.
Will you find out the job isn't so glamorous? YES
Will you be fatigued and exhausted in every possible way? YES
But will you have amazing stories to share with your loved ones? YES!

Please send through any questions still, my mail is all linked so I won't be forgetting about this blog. A new blog awaits :)

Fly safely
