Hello

To those sending their meds, this is what happened to me.

Sent everything off as one email 10 days AGO. I found out yday that it wasn't received. So the nice lady asked me to send everything off one by one AGAIN. I cant believe i wasted all that time not knowinG . I asked for a confirmation letter for the meds and whEn i hadn't heard a peep, i gave them a quick ring.

So good advice to you lot

ALWAYS MAKE A FOLLOW UP CALL/EMAIL IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD BACK ABOUT YOUR MEDS

ALL EMAILS SHOULD CONTAIN NO MORE THAN 1000 KB WORTH OF DATA. (As advised by the lovely lady in Doha)

Cheers to more waiting then....of course my fault

oh and congratz to all those that got their DOJ. Well done guys! I pray we get our soon!

Bye for now...

Help!

Hi Everyone and congrats to all those who've made it through!

I just received my congratulations email and to go ahead with medicals (I attended the open day in Brisbane on 22nd June)... one problem though, I flew to Brisbane for the interview and somewhere in the craziness have misplaced the medical clearance form they give you in the interview to take to the doctor to fill out!

Does anyone happen to have a blank one they can send me a copy of somehow or know where i can get one from? Would be much appreciated!

Also, has anyone else from the Brisbane open day received a congrats email? Good luck everyone

Medical Form

Thanks VictoriaKate - all I got though was the Female measurement chart and the uniform form. Also it said in my email "You are requested to complete the medical form that you received during the interview and the attached Uniform forms"... Could you please PM me (or anyone else) if you have a copy you can send me via email? Just reading some of these other posts i'm a bit wary of emailing HR for fear they'll take a long time to respond to me as I hear they're very busy and obviously receive a lot of emails and they've given me a week to complete everything.

Thanks again and appreciate the help!

Age requirement

Hi :] I just have a quick question.

Im thinking about applying for Qatar but i read on their website that you need to be 20 years old. Theyre coming here to Cebu this september. But im only 19, turning 20 in January. Should i give it a try or wait till im actually 20?

Some people seem to get through before their 20th birthday but they actually turn 20 before they finish training. It has to do with Qatar's regulations for serving alcohol.

They might not want to keep your offer on hold from September to January because a lot of things could happen. Having said that, I know of one guy who was 19 when he attended his interview in January but didn't start training in May when he had turn 20.

Is it IPAMS doing the initial screeing? Best thing would be to speak to them.

Dear Kim Anne

In the Open Day held in Buenos Aires this year there was people in your situation, the recruiters said that those who would turn 20 in the next 6 months could stay in the room. So... Give it a try dear!!!

Question The opening day in Birmingham

Having failed to get called on the last Sat( the opening LGW), I've decided to have a go again and am going to the another opening day in Birmingham this week. I have been feeling pretty devastated and upset since then but I will never give up(!)

Please, would anyone give me a tip for the day as I haven't got a clue as to why I failed last week and it would be much much apreciated.

Cheers everyone¬

Btw, do I have to have my pics professionally done before I submit them?
I wonder whether my pics didn't look professional enough.

grapefruit!

do not get depressed, i went through the whole thing as you did too: went to the OD and assessment day and failed, got depressed but didnt give up and went to another one later and there i was chosen. so the only thing i can say is dont give up, try to read as much as you can on how things go (read the whole thread on this forum!) and try to appear the kind of person they are looking for.
i think the key to the open day is your appearance: smile like crazy, be confident and look like their flight attendants, be extremely friendly. if you do that they usually call you back...
if the photo is not professional enough they will tell you later on anyways, but try not to give them one on which youre on the beach in a swim suit XD i made my photos myself but exactly how they requested us to do them (posture and clothes i meant, open smile)
good luck on your next time!!!

hi jackofan
im really sorry to hear all that. sadly i cant say any more than what i have: its all about appearance on the OD, if you fit for being a CC by appearance or not, thats also a reason why they dont really talk to you and if they do, usually they just check if you can speak english in a nice way with a nice CC manner XD maybe they just also take a quick look at your previous jobs to see if you fit in their range (e.g. if u were an office worker it might not work out..)
about nationality issue or being from somewhere, definitely not. it has nothing to do with the recruitment and indeed sometimes its even better because you speak one more language. i was attending ODs in buenos aires and belgrade and im from hungary..
good luck next time guys!
