Hi Everyone,
Greetings from Doha! I arrived on Saturday, and just started my training on Monday.
It's nice here.
I have a nice Spanish flatmate, she's also my batchmate, so I'm really lucky. The city itself is really beautiful. I mean the city center. It is an expanding and growing city...amazing...
Everyone, who is still waiting, good luck to you and see you soon!!!
If you have any questions, write me, I will try to answer ASAP.

hello eggward
Hi I'm planning to apply an cabin crew for QR locally (in Doha). You said you applied once last year. DO they have the same procedure like assessment process, the group dynamics, and the like? Also, may I ask the recruitment's telephone number?thanks

Word of warning
To All You Qatar Hopefuls,
Careful what you get yourself into. Stop and think before you commit your self and give your life away to Qatar.
Does it not cross your mind why Qatar is constantly recruiting? Employees are constantly let go - for simple reasons - this is how Qatar generates extra income. All employees are required to pay back if they do not complete 3 years of service regardless of the choice to leave or being dismissed.
Be careful! I could go on but use common sense and look at the big picture - companies who are constantly recruiting means they can't keep staff.
Good Luck

luv2flytheworld,
I recall that you posted here in November or December that you had just gotten to final interview stage with them - can we assume that you were unsuccessful?

Hi Yani, the pre employment form must be filled by your doctor and normally you should get reports after you have done your tests. All reports must be in English, you should scan them with the pre employment form and send it by mail or fax to your coordinator.

@luv2flytheworld: yes there are staff leaving, because of many reasons.
BUT, there are lots of staff who have spent long years with the company, and they still like it. I know them, I talked to them personally, we are living in the same builing.
I know, I'm still a trainee doing my course, so do not have any relevant experience. I only can say what I hear from seniors, or what I see by myself.
Yes, the company controls your life very strongly while you are on duty, but this is one of the world's 5 start airline, it wants to have this rating in the future as well, so it needs to have own standards, very high standards, and sometimes strickt regulations also. 99% of all the regulations are told during the open day or interview. If you do not like these regulations, you should not join. No one will force you to join. It is as simple. Let me give you an example: I can not say, that it is a kind of 'punishment' being 10 hours prior duty at home. It is for the company, cause I have to take rest to be able to serve the passengers at 110% level providing 5 star service, and it is also for me, cause we are tired. Im only doing my course but Im already tired. I could sleep 10 hours every day (at least).
And I could tell many-many other examples. In my opinion, as I am receiving more info during my training I see clearly which infos are fake, or too bad or not real in this forum or at any other forums.
I am not telling that this is a princess dream. NO, IT IS NOT. Because it is a really hard job. Harder that any of us could emagine before I think. But for this job, you will get paid well, you fly more, than you could fly with any other Middle-East companies (I know, I have friends working there), and you have the possibility to travel to many-many countries.
If you want to come to Qatar to make money, make friends, see the world, and you are hardworking, want to make a fast carreer, and you are not crazy for parties and alcohol, Qatar is for you.
If you cant stand strickt regulations, you are not hard working you are a party person, please don't come, cause you'll gonna hate it.
Everyone can decide what is important right? We are all adults. So think before you come.
And 2 more things, yes, there are many regulations, while not on duty as well, but this is a muslim country, and these regulations are made to respect the local people's traditions. That's it. Maybe some rules are starnge to us, but don't forget we are 98 nationalities working for QA, we all have our strange traditions right?
And regarding the aggressive recruiting: QA receives new aircrafts every month. QA ordered new 200 Airbuses. What do you think who is gonna fly these aircrafts? Yes, the new crew. They need new crew, cause the company is expanding very fast. This is also a reason.
Sorry for writing so long, I just do not really like you to have wrong opinion. Before I joined, I was a little bit not scared, but a kind of curious, what is real from these bad news. But honestly I can tell you, things are much better that it is written at the internet by people. That is MY opinion.
If anyone has other opinion who is or was in Qatar wit Qatar Airways, please tell, as I wrote Im new, and Im interested in any information.
Have a good day all.

That's true, but they also get rid of lots of people just because of misbehavior, not passing exams. They are very strict with this. People have to choose whether or not it's worth going there.

well, I have a friend overthere that has seen with her own eyes how they fired a girl with an 80% in one exam while the company was asking a 84%. By the other hand, I don't know how difficult are the exams. Probably that girl was a bit short minded LOL.

I strongly agree to your opinion been shared!
Qatar Airways is a World's 5 star Airline, definitely maintenance and development should occur, so people supporting ,like cabin crews should stand and never give up to show how important the job is even it is strict and a bit hard. Training with Qatar Airways is one of the best trainings would be...
very well said toefike..
thanks for sharing.

Hi there!
Do you know IPAMS? this is the agency processing the application for Qatar Airways..
You can ask the the exact amount and where is the best hospital to take your medical examination.
I attended in Bahrain so we have diff case. I took my med exam here in Saudi Arabia.
I think it's cheaper than here. Discounts would be great too. lol
When was your final interview? I am pinoy, proud to be. hehe.
Goodluck! hope you'll get the results very soon.
