Qatar Airways

[nuigini]

Applied about two months ago to Qatar Airways (cabin crew position). When I rang them after many weeks of waiting because I thought my application had gone missing, they said the interview had been postponed (until when they didn't know).

What to do? I guess I can only wait....

Mate,

If you havent heard anything it can only be a blessing in disguise...trust me, you do not want to work for this airline! Just ask your country fellows who have a tendency to jump ship in Manila when on layovers!!!!

Try one of the local airlines, I'm sure you will have a ball with them!

;)

[nuigini]

Well, I wouldn't mind to have a go with QR despite what most people are saying, but I appreciate your concern though! :)

Goog Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nuigini]

still waiting patiently, soon to be inpatiently :)

Hi
Dont do it. Listen to what is being said and heed the warnings. You will be happy and carefree once you stay clear of QR.

You guys are known as very hard workers but if you want to feel free and enjoy your time, i would suggest heading for EK and stay well clear of QR.

Should you head to Doha and realise all that has been said was true and decied to try out EK, then you will be disappointed to find you cant. Once you work for QR it disqualifies you even applying for EK for at least 6 months.

Anyway, at the end of the day the choice is yours. The money has improved but as I ran away last year I cant say what the current salary is. I would strongly recommend that you rethink the QR route. The company and some crew will make life difficult by way of power tripping on the week and new.

Best of luck

Try Emirates first,much more money and a lot more fun.Bye bye.

Ask me about QR and I shall tell u earfull!:mad:

Drop the Idea!! its BaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaD !!!!!

[nuigini]

Still nothing! *sighs*

Working for QR was the worst mistake I have ever made - You feel like every day is your last. There is no job security at all, lots of back stabbing and demotions and terminations. Poor morale, poor working conditions etc, etc.

Be very wary of the snake Saliya and the hitman himself: Akbar

hey nuigini,

take heed dear! apply for Etihad,EK or any other airlines.

i know amidst the excitement of trying out for an airline could make you wanna brush aside the discouraging aspects of it. 90% of the flyers here have said the same THING about QR.

many who stayed on are doing so because of the money and the hassle of applying for another job while living in doha. trust me, they are not a happy lot. always in fear of being the next one to get the CHOP. morale is low.

take a chance on majority of feedbacks you've got and read from this forum. apply for another airline, where you can at least have a peace of mind.

QR is not the only airline where you stand a chance. bury this trap and look elsewhere for your future's sake!

QR interviews in MEL today TUE and tomorrow then SYD I believe.

My good friend is one of the assessors, I have not seen him in years and would love to catch up.
Can anyone inform me of the hotels the interviews are being held in both states?

with thanks

[lemmegetback2u]

Interviews in SYD being held at Novotel Darling Harbour Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 8.00am.

[fourplay]

Thank you so much.
We were beside ourselves trying to think of how we could find out were he was staying.

Any knowledge of MEL as one of us is in MEL and I am in SYD.
We want to each see him.

This site is the best! :ok: :ok: :ok:

[simply]

Is QR doing the interviews themselves or through a recruitment agency?

Good luck to all of you who will be attending!

[fourplay]

Senior cabin crew from Doha are doing them.

[apaddyinuk]

Well everyone...

I hate to say it but I really dont think Nuigini is listening to us!!! Some people are just gluttens for punishment!

[simply]

They are not recruiting any males for Cabin Crew at the moment.

[st.elmo]

Lucky for the male wanabe crew.

Since they are not looking for any male crew, may i sugest they stand outside and warn off the females going in. There are other jobs and airlines. Dont let your ladies be taken. They will never be the same again.

Fly Away!!!

[apaddyinuk]

Theyre not Hiring Male crew???? You must be kidding!!! I dont know why im surprised! I know i shouldnt be!

[Tudor]

This must be a recent development then because I was invited to an interview in May and I'm male. BTW I couldn't attend because I was on holiday - a lucky escape it seems?!?

[simply]

Quite new I think. They are probably tired of men because of the previous ones who have been in the airline. ;)

[Skunkie]

Anyone can tell me where to send C.V.for QR as cabin crew (14years experienced) and which are the bases they supposed to assume?
Do they have an internet form to fill or there is an address to send C.V.

I know it is quite "bad" but not worse than situation in Italy........
It is always an experience....Do they have age limitations? (I'm 35 yrsold)

thanks a lot everyone


Skunkie

[simply]

Sorry mate, they only take on experienced people up to 30 years old.

[nuigini]

when will they accept males? i need this job!!

[A300Man]

They are accepting males now and always will be. They haven't suspended male cabin crew recruitment ever. Don't know where this rumor came from.

[nuigini]

no not for the moment! now they are only recruiting females until further

[A300Man]

Sorry Nuigini, but they are currently recruiting males. Perhaps they are NOT from your region, but they certainly ARE from other regions. I will try to find out a bit more specifically and will PM you.

[nuigini]

and how do you know that? i talked to that woman three days ago at head office and she said no males are being recruited.

yes, i appreciate if you could find out for me! thank you!

[nuigini]

*sighing*

nothing yet! waiting every day from qatar airways. :(
