Open Day Brisbane March 10th

Is anyone going to the OD in BNE on March 10th? I have applied online a week a go and my application is still in 'applied' mode. I have applied few times and got rejected. I went on two open days got rejected as well. The last one was in January. For those who did not get through they told us to apply within 6 months, however heard reports since its open day and did not go through the FI, and group acitvity, the wait for 6 months does not apply.

yeah,that 6month only apply for those who got thru the assesment day. If you didnt only came for the open day and didnt get selected. you doesnt need to wait 6 months . The recruiter told me the same thing when i asked her
good luck Ekboi

Casual pictures

Hi guys ! I have a question !

I got my FI last week end; and I don't have the casual pictures yet (yes, my computer is dead !).
I can take some new ones on saturday, I don't have a camera right now.
Is that ok if I send them on saturday (6 days after FI), or it is too late ?

Thanks a lot, I worry ... !

Age is no problem, I got hired when I was 27, and I know some people who got hired with over thirty ;-)

Hi Seja. Do you know something about a weight limit? There are chubby girls at Ek? I'm a little bit worried about this...

Yes the weight limit is BMI in a healthy range for your height/body type. Sometimes if you're borderline they might ask for confirmation of this from a medical person. (This criteria also applies to pilots)

And btw, im reading ther posts....
I am 31 now and it means there is no strict age limit probably.
And also im not some kind of slim boy .


Depends on ur personality i think.


Just be urself, follow rules listen carefully what recruiters talks etc....

Just few informations about Qatar Airways....
I am also exQR cabin crew.
I informed my recruiter that I worked with QR 12moinths ago (FEB/2011) and is it OK with her that I apply.
She just asked me is it now 12 months between and I showed her document from QR so she saw there is 12 month in between.

What I can say is that I really like how they approach OD. Very professional way, no matter if someone worked or not before as a cabin crew etc...
Stage by stage - I was selected and now I am waiting for golden call or e-mail that I am not selected.

Givemewings is right, your body just has to be in proportion. There are some chubby girls but some of them also are put on a diet and the company asked them to lose weight. in most country it is against the law to give a weight limit, otherwise they would do it for sure ;-)

Hello everybody!
2 days ago I applied online for an AD, which is next week on Wednesday. It was not to late to apply only now?
Yesterday I got a mail and they told me the recruitment crew will check my application. If I don't get any answer in 3 months I can apply again after 6 months... so that means I can't try any OD next month for example

i have got a question about post-ponding the DOJ. i read on another forums that you have 6 months to join EK starting from the day you signed your contract. is this true? when in the process do you sign the contract? after getting GC?
do you let the GC caller know immediately that you need to post-pond the DOJ if the date provided is too early?

thanks!!

Final Approval

Hi,

Just wondering how long some people have had to wait for final approval. I uploaded my documents 3 weeks ago and had to provide a couple more details, however I've seen people on here with their GC and DOJ after mine who have already had their FA, just seems odd and am getting nervous, although I shouldn't be as I'm perfectly healthy???
