Emirates Inteview Questions

I applied to work as cabin crew for Emirates a week or so ago and have been doing lots of research about the recruitment process.
The next step for me hopefully is to receive an invitation to an assessment day in the UK next year, either Jan or Feb, that's if I pass the initial screening ( they screen all 15,000 applications they receive per month!! ), they can be picky as they receive so many applications for all over the world.
The assessment day is normally conducted in a posh hotel close to your home town, mine will be probably London. The day starts around 9am, the days consists of group exercises, maths and English tests. Apparently, if you are successful at this stage you are invited back for an interview the next day. The questions are something like following :
1. Tell us about yourself
2. Why do you want to join us?
3. What would you like to do in five years' time?
4. Do you prefer working with others or alone?
5. What are your biggest accomplishments?
6. What are your favorite subjects?
7. Why should we hire you?
8. What are your hobbies?
9. What is the worst feedback you have ever got?
10. What is the most difficult situation you have faced?
11. How do you measure talent?
12. How do/would you optimize performance and lift standards in a team?
13. Have you ever dealt with a customer making an unrealistic demand?
14. How would you respond if you were offered the job?
15. Tell me about something recently that really annoyed you.
16. What will you bring to the job/company if we employ you?
17. Tell me about the culture at your last company/employer.
18. Tell me about your life at College or University (or even your time in your previous job).
19. What do you want to be doing in 2/5/10 years time? Or: Where do you want to be in 2/5/10 years time?
20. What is your ideal job?
21. What did you achieve in your last job?
22. What are your strengths?
23. What are your weaknesses?

I hope this will help anyone applying for Emirates too!

Fingers crossed, an invitation will be in my inbox soon!
