hi gus!
Much thanks... 
oh well, I am not really sure about that 'coz it will be my first time ever to apply to any international airline. the best people to answer your question would be those that have already experienced applying to QR, or the current or ex-employees of the company. You might also want to send them an email and ask them regarding your concern, or just go ahead and try applying online first. If you do receive an invite to go to an assessment day, then that means that you might probably be eligible. I did check the QR website though, and they only stated the minimum age requirement which is 21. emma gemma might be right. You can go and try for Amiri, although you must at least have a minimum of 3 years First Class experience prior to your application. All the best to you!

Shannon,
As far as I know, there is only one elimination on the actual assessment day which is based on your entire performance throughout the day: impressions, measurement of your height and weight, language test and participation in group discussions.
It's really difficult to say why your friend was eliminated and in which part of the assessment day.
In the group discussion it's important to participate nicely and show that you can actually work with others. Don't be too dominative or too submissive. Be ackknowledgeable and understanding towards the other people in your group and do not interupt. It's not actually WHAT you say but HOW you say it, unless you would say anything rude or inappropiate of course.

Hey shannon!
I really think that what they are looking in a person, is someone who can work as a team and someone who has enough stamina to deal with several hours of work without losing his charisma.
For example , if you look tired ( your sitting position in the chair, your posture , your face ) , if you're trying to hard ( look at the recruiters like saying ' look at me' ), if you don't respect your mates opinion ( like saying ' I think you're wrong' or interrupting someone when he is talking ) or if you stay too quiet and shy...END OF THE ROAD FOR YOU THAT DAY BABE!
Good luck there!
Cheers!

Thank you ArthurNielsen for your answer.
I have decided to attend the open day in Nanjing in China cause it's just closer to me. Flights to Singapore weren't that cheap from Japan.
The thing about Nanjing is that it says "CV Submissions Only" on the website. I thought all open days were CV subsmissions only, is it going to be different in Nanjing? Just to make sure. If anybody knows please let me know since I will be be coming a long way for that open day.
Thanks and good luck to everybody.

Hi guys, I attended the open day(resume Submission) today in Mauritius. They said they would give me a call later in the afternoon. I left the building at 10AM and its now 10PM, still no call. I assume I havent been shortlisted and Im fine with that. However I find this rather unprofessional.
you dont leave a person waiting for a whole day for a phone call that might not come. ive been stressing for the whole day for that phone call and it never came. A NO would have been ok, at least id know. You cant just not call when you said u would, thats really unprofessional and rude. Anyway, after reading that thread im happy I didnt get selected. Im a person who really likes his freedom and it seems that this is not an option when working for them.

Hi Ichenel,
Didn´t they give you a time frame to call? Like in Brazil we left the open day at 2pm and they said that if you didn´t receive a call from them till´ 6pm that day, it means you were not short listed.
So basicly you would instantly know the answer if you didn´t get the call by 6pm.
Best regards,
Monique

hi Flygirl00.
No they didnt. They just said that they would give me a call later this afternoon. I went there with another friend and the lady told her the same thing. She got the 'yes' call at bout 4:30 but I got nuttin. she should at least have given me a timeframe as they did with you. OH well, doesnt matter....sounds like QA isnt the way to go at the moment anyway. Im probably lucky I didnt get selected, now im not losing precious years of my life trapped and treated like a kid. I wonder how the other older cabin crew deal with that kind of stuff. I mean, if you wanna get married you have to ask the CEO's permission?!?! what?!?!? Basically it just sounds like the company 'owns' their personnel. Not cool!

Hi
I attended QR open day a month ago,wanna go this weekend again... I didn't make it through the final interview, should I wait 6 months ?
I'm confused...I dunno what went wrong last time, I'm the same person who was good enough to join emirates. Especially if they picked some with "me-myself and I" attitude, who would actually tell the recruiters they didn't like teamwork).

Yes, yes and yes. Morale is very low (if even existent at all).
QR is recruiting all the time because crew are resigning and getting sacked in huge amounts every month. They never have the right numbers of crew.
