gdukkoq this thread is a complete mess! Everybody talking about the interview timelines but I don't know if they are CPT, FO, fast track SO or normal SO.
For CPT, FO and perhaps fast track SO the timeline is completely different from the normal SO.
As a normal SO applicant my timeline was this:
Interview Invite (Bahrain) - Jun 6th
Interview Date (Bahrain) - Jun 15th
Successful Notice (Bahrain) - Jun 23rd
Interview Invite (Doha) - Jul 23rd
Interview Date (Doha) - Aug 31st
Successful Notice (Doha) - Sep 13th
Contract and Fleet - Pending
Yeah I know, I was one of the unfortunate guys that payed a lot of money to attend the Bahrain assessment, God knows why we were the only ones!
They said 4 weeks maximum but as you can see it's been almost 4 months.
However I went personally to the HR office on Dec 4th and this is what they told me.
"Your training will not start anytime soon, I can't promise you dates but I'm almost sure that for the next 2, 3 or 4 months it's not going to happen, I know you've passed all the stages and you deserve to be here but you need to be patient"
gdukkoq as you can see you are not the only one! And guys, please specify your rank when you come up here saying that you've got fleet and contract or joining date.
