I applied online. I interviewed at Etihad Airways (Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi) in Jan 2026
Interview
I applied in January and completed the initial video interview stage. My application was held 'Under Review' for almost four months. In May, just one day before my 21st birthday (meeting their age criteria), I finally received the candidate information/declaration form, which explicitly stated that further details would be discussed during the interview.
After raising my hopes so high and making me wait for months, they suddenly sent a generic rejection email just 9 days later without any specific feedback. Holding a candidate’s application for months only to offer false hope just as they meet the requirements is highly misleading and unprofessional. Recruitment management and communication clearly require significant improvement.
I took the virtual assessment last February.
1) Introduction of Etihad Airways and Abu Dhabi
2) Self Introduction + Group Discussion
- no given guideline for self introduction but it was short and brief and all candidates were asked to stand up to show full body
- 1 minute was given to read article and question and 15 minutes for discussion
- every candidate had to answer at least one of the question
3) Final interview
