DOOHAN!!!!...I hear you matey! Welcome to the QA rejection boat!! I had my first ever F/A interview with QA in June. Tuff? No way, I was breezing it through,much to my suprise after every interview. I couldnt beleive my luck, and was glad that they could see I have what it takes. 3rd interview, didnt do anything different to interviews 1 & 2, but then was walked out and given "that letter". My heart, face EVERYTHING dropped right on the floor. Devastation hit hard. It was the most awful feeling. So I totally understand how u would have felt, to get to the very very final stage.I met a girl at the QA interview and the same thing had happened to her Yep, twice she had gone and got the medical/police report and then received the "thanks but no thanks letter". How can they wait 4 months to let you know. That is just plain cruel. It shouldnt be allowed huh??? Most annoying thing is we get no feedback. They just say apply in another 6 months. Well correct me if Im wrong, but hey Im still going to be the same person in 6 months, same background, same skills, same personality!!! And same state of health and police history if I eva get that far. I have put it down to, that it totally depends on what interviewer you have on the day. You may remind them of someone that they dislike, so how can they warm to you if this is the case. My third interviewers, were older,very large woman, and I often wonder if sometimes being a slim,young,attractive female may have gone against me just a tad. Who knows???? The mind bogals huh. I dont want to sound paranoid, but the minuete I met the woman that gave me the 3rd interview she stared right in my eyes, and it was not a warm friendly stare. I was their last interview before lunch,mind u they were running 2 hours behind. Who knows, were they a little on edge as they needed a break????Did the big gals just need some re-fueling???I dont want to sound bitter, or like a sore looser, but I honestly believe, I didnt get a fair go. But hey, what can u do cept walk out with your head held high and keep trying.Its all part of the learning process.
