It shouldn't be a problem.
Giving you only two days to complete your medical examination is ridicilous and not very realistic in Europe. Email and let them know it will take longer than that and if they can't wait, it's their loss.

Yeh your totaly right emma, i think its absolutely stupid that you have to complete them within 2 days! Im happy that i got this oppurntunity but also aprehensive regarding all the negative comments about Qatar and how they treat their staff, i know a few people who are working there and love it, but i do suppose its different for every single person! They are recruiting all the time and now have more dates to recruit, is this because they have alot of aircrafts coming or because of the current crew leaving?
I think i just want to make sure its the right decision i make!
Thank you for your help x

Megan,
It's probably a bit of bit of both but QR has probably never had any recruitment freezes as crew keep leaving en masse. Most people on here seem very positive, and perhaps a bit ignorant, about QR but reading through everything written and take a serious consideration might be good!
Hope you get your medical sorted out. Inform them ASAP about it!

Yeah thanks for the advice! I have informed them yesterday and had reply back and they seem fine with me getting them done in a weeks time, i will still try and bring them forward though!
I have read quite alot on the forum and it is quite offputting at times, but then again its an experience and i would probably regret it big time if i didnt take it, i read that they are geting alot more aircrafts so will need alot more crew, so that could be the reason too!

I got the congratulations e-mail just now! Thank you everybody, this forum helped me a lot!
I just can't believe they want the medicals done within 2 days, some results can take over a week right? Plus it's holiday here in Japan....
Anybody knows anything about this?

Email,
GirlWithQuestions, congratulations!!!
Glad you got the email! Hope your medical goes smooth as well!
I still didn't received the email yet, and it's over with the waiting 3 weeks! Should I assume I will get bad news and give up? Even though, weren't they suppose to send something?
Trying not to, but getting upset...
I wonder if they forgot the members from our OD...

Medicals in Madrid
Hey everyone! 
I've been following this forum for a while and it's been most helpful with my recruitment process. I attended the OD in Madrid and I got through, my final interview was las Tuesday and I'm now waiting for the magical "Congratulations" email from Qatar airways.
I'm a bit concerned about the medicals though. It's not the easyest thing to do here in Spain. Does anyone have any kind of information about where to do it or at least where should I look? Private clinics? Is it maybe easier to do it in some other European country?
How is it in the UK? If anybody could give me a piece of advice I'd be really grateful!
thanks and good luck to everyone!!

Hey minoboy!
met a lot of Spanish here in Doha , and they all said that it was impossible to get the medicals quickly , so take your time to do it. Some took almost one month to complete everything! some paid private practicians to go faster.
I did my medicals in Ireland and it was a hell of a task , but luckyly everything was done in like three weeks , got my confirmation and in the same day flew into Doha!
Good Luck with the waiting! Someone told me there was like 400 people in MAD OD! so that's something you must be proud of!
BTW: Changed my blog address!

hey ChinoA!!
Thanks for your super-fast reply! I like your blog very much, btw!!
Yeah, It was my first-ever attempt to try joining an airline so I didn't really know what to expect but yes - the lovely recruitment girls told us that we were more than 400, they should know, right? ;-).
I figured we're now 24 wannabes left, 12 from each group (there was one morning and one afternoon group on the 1st day of the recruitment process). We don't know how many people they're gonna take but I'm guessing around 15?? Anyway, I have a really good feeling about it, the final interview went on great that's why I wanna prepare for the exams so I'll be ready when Qatar says GO, do the medicals as fast as you can!! hahaha. It took you 3 weeks?? Wow, I thought it would only take me a couple of days...
Just so you know, you've been a real inspiration case to me, reading your blog and dreaming of the day I'll follow your footsteps has really motivated me.
Vamos ver se a gente se ve em Doha logo!!

I had to repeat some of my Tests for example,CBC,because the first one had no differential count.
I emailed the new results today and now i'm waiting.
Mail me too, when you receive the final email.

Hi ChinoA!!
Hi, well I've been following you thru this forum, and today I finally got registered ,so here I'm.
I'm going to the Open Day here in Buenos Aires this coming Saturday May 9th and to be honest I'm really scared, hehehehe, but I know it will be alright, it just scares me that a lot of people has been talking so many bad things about QR, but I do dream of flying , so I hope I do get in.

Hey! of course you have probably read a lot of things about QR , I know I did before I attended the OD and had some doubts too.
Even so , I do believe that every experience you have, must be based in your personal impressions, so even hearing those comments and feedbacks , I decided to give it a try ( as like you , I always wanted to fly ). And everything went just right , I can't complain now, I am having a great time, they have many regulations? THEY DO! the country is more strict than the UAE? IT IS! but how things go , and wether if you like it or not, it will only depend on you.
Buena suerte ahi!!!

Cape Town open day
Is anyone attending the OD in Cape Town on May 23rd? I am a bit weary after hearing all the bad comments. Are there any current QR crew that have something nice to say about the airline? Also, does anyone tell me if one has applied online for the OD in CT and doesn't hear anything until then, does that mean you shouldn't attend or can you still attend because it's an open day?
