Thanks so much Emma! You're a doll.
Hey don't trouble yourself getting the address for me alright. I am glad there are optical shops there. I will look around and find those shops

Hi guys!

I feel disappointed.. I have been waiting for 3 weeks and a half and still no answers. The last medical examination that I sent to them was a 2nd CBC. My OD was on April...Its been a long time -I dont know what to think.. If I get an answer, Im sure that it will be to re-do the CBC (this means to wait another month+another month if I get hired)...Do I have to lose all hope?

after you sent them your second CBC result, did they tell you that she has received them and forwarded them to the medical centre? when if yes?

pistoleros99:

don't give up!
my FI was at the end of February,
and I only got confirmed this month...
I know it's disheartening,
but the best thing you can do is just get on with your life
in the mean time and send them what they ask for each time...
They have standards to adhere to and until you meet them,
they will have you on hold.
So chin up!
Hopefully you will get an answer soon,
and we'll see you in Doha...

HI Usagi27

Yes, they confirm with me the receipt of the email.

Hi Elizabeth:

Thank you very much for your recommendations, I appreciate it. I think that I have nothing more to do than to wait and continue with the monotony.

As soon as I receive an aswer I will let you know guys, greetings.

Don't worry there is no question of you getting stuck on short haul, it doesn't work like that. Yes we do have a bidding system, it's new and it works well. Emma is right about the aircraft types you will train on first, you will do your 340 training after a few months and then after that Boeing and so forth. Always more block hours than 65. You will never share a room!!! Some girls used big handbags instead of briefcases but they were business like, a normal handbag would never be big enough. You are issued a handbag and a strolley with your uniform but you won't be wearing your uniform except for grooming and graduation but it will be issued a few weeks into training and then tailored for you. You can't use the bag for training because apart from anything else it wouldn't be big enough it also wouldn't be allowed. Remember that it's quite chilly in training school. If you're shopping at the moment, get plenty of nude, matte, tights and pop sox also skin coloured camisoles for under your blouse and any hair accessories you need like a doughnut. Good luck.

Emma_Gemma

Hi!
I understand that a full medical check up will be taken in Doha.
Will it be the exact same process as what I have taken in my country? (pre-employment medicals, step by step)

Lastly, should I submit the Xray films as well?

Many thanks

[Shailaja]

Shailaja...

Hi guys!

I have received the confirmation on the 3rd of Aug to fly out on the 5th of Sep as i requested for 1 month's notice...my training will start on the 7th...so excited!!! Anyone besides "girlwithquestions" joining on the same date as me? Perhaps you can PM me to exchange details...

Emma,you're really sweet to help us so much,thanks dearie just would like to know are we allowed to wear pant suits as business attire for the training or it's strictly skirt suits for the trainings? Thanks

[Emma Gemma]

The medical examination in Qatar it's required by the government before they can issue you a work permit. It's a basic general check up. Nothing to worry about.

Trousers will be fine!

Hi Ppruners,

It's just hit me today that the uniform does not come with a veil. ..................I mean what the .........I just assumed it did like etihad/emirates and other ME airlines.

I know this sounds pathetic but thIS is a HUGE deal for me. I am REALLY REALLY disappointed as I think it is extremely fashionable and attention grabbing. What a shame! Does anyone know if there are talks to bring in the veil???

Please say yes...........Thanks

PS Shailaja I've sent you a PM

[irishbecky]

Well sorry to disappoint you...no veil and really unlikey to ever have one, it sets Q.R apart from the others!!

[diana.sky]

i retook my audiometry. having a hard time hearing 6000-8000hz. did anyone experience the same thing?

QR letter was confusing. It said "repeat tympanogram" but what I took was audiometry. So we repeated the audiometry.

If I need to take the tympanogram, it's not a repeat, since I haven't taken the tympanogram yet.

I'm hoping the repeated audiometry exam will suffice so I dont have to keep taking a day off from my job. I've been working in the company for a month today and I've already had 3 absences. My boss warned me already. Might as well resign if I keep at it. This is really taking a toll on my career.

Hoping to hear pieces of advice on how to handle this.

Thanks gals!

[bunny_gal]

Thanks Emma_Gemma!

Hey Shailaja!
Congrats!

I was hoping you would depart with me!
Oh dear... Flight will be in the early morning. 225AM!

Take care everyone

[Shailaja]

Long wait finally over...

Hi bunny gal dear!

I was hoping to depart with you too!!! So sad that i got leave later,but i hope we could see each other there! I will give you my details in PM to you,so keep in touch,dearie all the best to you in Doha and everyone who's waiting for their medical clearance

Can anybody tell me about cabin crew assessment day with Qatar, please

[Emma Gemma]

Emma Gemma, thanks,
tell me please about the topics of these essays and topics of group discussions.

[Emma Gemma]

The topics could be anything and not actually relevant. It's your participation and how you interact with the other people in group that you should focus on. It really doesn't matter what you say, unless it's offensive or racist, but it's how you say it. Don't interupt others, be acknowledgeable and polite, keep eye contact and think of your pose.

[diana.sky]

Hi, just want to know what would happen if while working for QR I want to get married but still want to work as a stewardess?
