yes i do have chronic inflammation and i never knew about it until now lol since i got the CBC (has no symphtoms).
hmmm my guess is that they can receive mails up to like 2 or 3 megas, but i didnt risk it, i sent them basically one by one XD always less than 2 megas. but i think if you dont receive an error email that says your email has been rejected (which i did when i tried to send my pics) then it got through anybody else has some experience on that?
Anything from a few days to a couple of weeks before the assessment as they sometimes don't even have a scheduled date and only decide of the date when they have received enough applications.
about shortlisting o.o when i was attending the OD (which was right before the assessment day) it was like this: theres the OD where you hand in your CV, right? and then this ends around midday and they tell you they will call you till 6 pm that day if you are shortlisted. i was called around 4, 4:30, but some friends of mine around almost 6.
For cronic inflamation and other disorders, only an aeronautical doctor can say if you are fit to work as cabin crew, since the human body behaves dfferent in the altitude and atmospheric pressure of an aircraft.
In argentina medicals are taking really long, why is that? I completed my medicals in 24 hours, but still I´ve been waiting for a response for 4 weeks now.
It took them 2 weeks to reply they got all my certificates but I had to ask for that confirmation first (of course very kindly).
Hmm I´m getting very tired of waiting, so stressful!!!
omg two weeks to confirm that they have received your medicals? wow. then i should not worry either lol gonna take a while more for them to confirm.
patience.. patience..
Hi guys, I have been following this forum for the last couple of days and it has really opened my eyes, i must say. Some of the posts were really hilarious and some were "serious posts straight in the face"...I'm a Singaporean who attended the Open day on the 13th of June at the Hilton Hotel in Singapore. I'm one of the few lucky ones who got selected to attend the Final interview and received the "Congratulations" email on the 23rd of June. ( How many of you guys attended on the same day as me and have received the "Congratulations" email?) That was like 7 days after attending the Final interview. I sent in my uniform forms on the 25th first as i had delay with my medicals.(as all of you guys) I sent in my medical reports on the 29th of June through fax and sent in an email to Ms Avina to let her know of the reports. I'm still waiting for my medical clearance and I'm a total nervewreck right now waiting. I'm scheduled to fly out in Aug and hope the results come soon. To all those waiting, all the very best and hope to see you guys soon! Ciao!
P/S: Emma, it's very sweet and nice of you to guide and go the extra mile to help all of us-cabin crew wannabes...a big thank you to you.
I was just wondering if the waiting time for medical clearance and 'congrats' mail after the FI varies from country to country or some unknown reasons.
For the 'congrats' mail after the FI, I had waited for only a week. Same goes to my 2 friends who had previously applied for QR. However, after reading this forum, it seems that some had waited for over 2 weeks?
As for the medical clearance, my 2 friends had waited no more than a week before they got their DOJ. Strangely, some folks over here had been waiting from 2 weeks to a long 4 weeks!
Today marks the first week since I submitted my medicals and I'm still waiting eagerly,worriedly and excitingly for their reply just like everyone else here. Will I get their reply within this week or will I still be hanging in the air for another good 2-3 weeks? I really do not know.
The only thing I guess we can all do now is to wait patiently as the saying goes 'Good things are worth waiting for'
However, I just had a burning question in mind.
'Could anything go awfully wrong at this point in time to render me failing my medicals?'
i was wondering about that myself too :o my guess is that everything depends on the place of interview. buenos aires was beginning of may, belgrade was beginning of june and ppl from the two places are BOTH submitting medicals now. i think its coz they will be in the same training course, so they ask things from them at the same time. but well this is just my wild guess from the things i hear.
good luck to us all XD on those nasty medicals
To all those who have made it and will be flying soon, Brace yourselves for a whole new life and a lot of studying.
You've got to be very strong.Adhere to all rules.That's the only way to be safe.
Another way to be safe is to keep a very low profile, stay out of gossip, don't put your nose where it's not wanted and don't question any of the managers and instructors.
If you happen to meet AAB in the corridor or end up in the same lift as him when he's having one of his mood swings, say a prayer. Been there, done that. Sorry. Never mind the place. It's all about his mood.
All of this will be advised at the open day. Our recruiters made sure that they told us EVERYTHING involved in working for qatar. It seems like very hard work and they do expect a LOT from you. They were very honest and open with us at the open day in Heathrow last month.
There were almost 400 people there and only 19 got throught the final interview, but not all got the congrats email. My guess is that there would be more or less the same amount of people in gatwick for the open day. I suggest you read up on the advice offered here at the forum so as to get through the stages. You will learn everything you need to know at the open day and we spent more than an hour asking questions to our hearts content. They were EXTREMELY forward.
They were honest in saying that promotion was very quick for those who played by the rules and had a 'clean' file. Anyway I suggest to go to the open day and ask your own questions. At least give it a go!
Homosexuality is forbidden in Qatar and it's all happening underground. People know it's happening but nobody is talking about it. QR is tolerant about it as you would find a lot of gay crew and as long as you behave yourself in a good manner you should be fine.
The apartments are furnished and nice depending which building you end up in. You would be sharing with either one or two crew members. These days they have a curfew and you need to be home 12 hours before duty or you would find yourself in serious trouble. Visitors are not allowed between certain hours and this is obviously for your own protection and to stop you being disturbed.
Promotions are done differently. Some crew are promoted quickly for being company spies whilst others who are working hard and fairly would take a couple of years to get a promotion. To work in Business and First it should take two years. This is if you have a clean record or you'll be stuck in Economy forever. One girl I know from South Korea was promoted to CS (Cabin Senior) last year and she joined in 2005.
The culture in QR is very strict and crew are reporting each other all the time. Crew getting sacked and demoted every day and they are losing a lot of crew every month. QR doesn't tolerate any nonsense and wouldn't hestitate to punish you for anything. Best way to "survive" is to keep a very low profile and don't question anything. One thing I found really hard in QR was to trust people. You never knew if they would stab you in the back which many of them unfortunately did.
QR is certainly what you make of it and if you can stand all those regulations coming from a free country as France I'm sure you'll be fine.
I'm lucky to be one of the 15 ladies who were invited to the final interview in the Philippines last June 29 - 8 days ago. I'm praying hard everyday to receive the acceptance letter and go signal for pre-employment medical exam.
I empathize with fellow applicants who have to go through this excruciating waiting time. I was surprised that someone received word from Doha past the three weeks notice period that was promised, but glad that she got in. Better late than never.
Hold on, girls! Hope to see you in Doha before year ends.
The teamwork various. There are good crew but also bad crew. Some crew won't even speak to you and sometimes it happens when there are many crew from same country that they would speak to each other in their language only to make you feel left out. Having said that you would also work with very good crew and have a very good time and forget about the bad times.
Doha has changed a lot since I lived there. Everybody knew who you were and it could be extremely boring. Expats used to call it Dohell because there wasn't anything to do. Again, it's down to you as an individual and whether if you go there with an open mind.
Having read all the recent posts here so far, it just makes me wonder why the QR management is like that. Don't they realize that cabin crew resignation at such a rate will always hurt their business? Well sure, they can always conduct OD's on different countries to hire replacements. But man, their reputation will always be at stake here.
anybody else has some experience on that?
