I was a long time ago in QR. You had to be out of QR for at least 6 months to do the interview. OR, you had very good connections. I am quiet sure that this "gentlemen"(haha) agreement goes as well in the other direction.
Left QR long time ago(thanks god) and applied for EK about 8 months ago. Got an invitation for interview short after. After a bit of thinking (and reading the ME threads) I decided that I am just not willing anymore to return to the "sand pit"(why would somebody go to the QR snakepit coming from EK, no improvement at all??!)
Part time/Commuting? Haha, good one. In case you are serious, read the EK/QR threads and you will understand. What I heard QR improved a bit in terms of OFF in a row,(I had sometimes 3 days at all in Doha), but asking for part time or even commuting would open pandoras box for QR(as everyone would like to have that).
Good luck.
