Hi there,
not sure if this will be of any help to anyone interviewing for Quantas but I had an interview just over a year ago. I have been flying for seven years which includes charter, schedule and long haul etc ad was also a purser at my last airline so thought I was in with a good chance at Quantas. However I was only asked two questions during a five minute one on one interview which were 1. What can you bring to Quantas? and 2. What does Quantas represent to you? After this I went through the classic group exercise with six other people, three of whom spoke very broken English which made it difficult.

After this I was measured and weighed. At this point I was told I was a fraction of an inch to short as I had to be 5' 4" and I was actually 5' 3" and 3/4 (Their words exactly). I was told this would not be a problem and would hear within two days. I heard nothing for two weeks so called to find out and was told rather rudely over the phone I wasnt selected becuase of my "height problem". Now I appreciate the height thing if I wasnt tall enough then thats fair enough but the whole thing was disorganised, badly run and vey unprofessional. I have heard Quantas have since changed the agency who deal with thie recruitment so please disregad this if so but hope this has been of some help. Good luck to all interviewing and happy flying!!
