Recently attended selection in Doha with QR. Friendly reception in fantastic Hotel, easy going interview and simulator. If Qatar offers me a position I will expect them to deliver what they promised on their presentation. That means either accommodation or accommodation allowance. Honestly, I think people are having to find their own accommodation simply because their HR department must be busy with all these new joiners and might not be able to cope. The easy way is to just pony up the 12,000 QR and people sort themselves out. Mr. Krunch might be able to shed some more light on this but that seems to be the most logical way to go. Either way I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hope to get an offer whenever they get around to dealing with my application.

PS: Nobody during our interview mentioned we had to find our own accommodation so it might well be a temporary solution.
