Intresting... Maybe you have too much flying experience, or they don't take ex-pursers (leader role) or they don't take ex-etihad crew.
Emirates would suit you much better with this experience. They are going to Bukarest in a couple of weeks. They love to take experienced crew and they put the majority of them on the A380.
Good luck!

Floaty & littlemissamanda
@Floaty: Hi, I don't know anything about any max. age rules at Qatar. I know a girl, she's just doing her training, she's 33, and has a few years of experience as a cabin crew. So, if I were you, I would try. 
But, it's true, that you will get the same training as anyone else, you'll be sitting in the class with many 20-25 years old people, who have never been flying before. Some of them even didn't have any job before, just graduated from university...etc. However, if you'll get in, you'll do your 7 weeks of training and you're on your own again, flying all over the world. And 7 weeks only, it's really fast. Because of your previous experience, you may also get on a fast track, which means, you can get a promotion maybe after 6 months only, instead of others, who'll definitely have to wait at least 1 year. So, you decide.
@littlemissamanda: Yes, there are many people who had to wait for a long-long time. BUT, for me for example, it was very fast. It was only 7,5 weeks between my final interview, and my date of departure to Doha. (however I had to repeat my ECG once) It can happen really fast. Just do everything the company requests (medical, result sending...etc) ASAP!!! Good luck!!!!

CARGO
Hey
Anyone going to doha anytime soon?
I have a question regarding flying my belongings via Q Cargo.... I emailed them but haven't got any reply just yet.
Anyone knows the rates, term& conditions etc??
I know QA is supposed to give us the money back, bust still, will that be very expensive?

As a male (21y.o.-almost 2 years' customer service experience-although no CC experience) who attended the FI on Feb, 8, in Istanbul I guess I can tell you some news that can make it a bit sensible to you... 1 week after the FI they sent me an email stating that my application was being considered and that they would establish further contact shortly. It's been more than 3 weeks since my FI by now and I called them a couple of days ago to find out what's going on.
They told me that the male recriutment was on hold, that's why I was being kept waiting, and that they did not now when they would withdraw the hold...
So I'm guessing maybe after this they've become more picky with male candidates?
And btw are there any males that received the congrats email since mid-Feb?

The open day, all you are to expect is a presentation from Qatar Airways representatives, followed by the CV/photo submission. At this point you will be asked a question or two by the recruitment officer, eg about previous employment or what you do at the moment - just be yourself, try not to seem nervous, answer concisely but with plenty of information - you need to stand out from the crowd but not take up too much of their time. If successful you will receive a phone call from them later that day inviting you back the following day, where you can expect an English test followed by group activities, where again you should just be yourself and not be nervous. After this you get invited to a final interview, quite relaxed and informal, again the best advice is to just be yourself, answer their questions as if it's a normal conversation.
Photos - would be great to have the full-body one done professionally if this is an option, though no problem if not. Must be against a plain background, white is not recommended, especially if your shirt is white. Wear a business suit, jacket optional, depending on whether you feel you look better with or without it. Stand tall and straight with arms relaxed by your sides. And smile :-) This must be postcard sized, and the passport picture passport-sized, strangely enough. Just be sure your hair is neat and you smile.
Hope that answers your questions :-) best of luck!

Hold On Male Recruitment
Hi guys,
I attended the OD in Johannesburg on the 20.02.2010 and FI was on 04.02.2010. After reading the posts about there being a hold on male cc, can anyone confirm that this is indeed the case? I'd hate to think that they still taking guys through to the FI just to have them rejected back at QA headquaters. Please email me [email protected]
Also, I know that they said to wait 1-2 weeks before we get some sort of correspondence from them, but has anyone received email within a week after the FI?

They update the web-page according to their requirements. I've seen them changing this before too, so nothing to worry about. Until and unless its specifically pointed out that its FOR FEMALES ONLY, anybody falling under their general requirements can apply for the role of FA.
All the best..!

Ksyusha & Flying Adobo
@Ksyusha: Yes, they do. I know 2 girls, they are just doing their trainings. One is 31 one is 33. Regarding the marital status: no problem if you are divorced. There are divorced cabin crew here. There's one thing that's important, if you're single now, and you'll get the chance to come here, you'll have to stay single for the next 3 years. It's not allowed to get married. So, your age is not a problem especially if you look young, and your marital status is also OK. I would apply if I were you.
@Flying Adobo: I just heard about this here. I can't confirm, couse I'm not working at recruitment, however, yes, we heard about this. What it exactly means, for how long and from which date they don't wanna train guys, no idea. If you got any positive answer, I would advise you to do your medicals ASAP, and to get ready to travel ASAP, so maybe you won't have to wait so long, or you can catch one of the last batches. But I repeat, I can't confirm anything, I just heard it from someone, who also heard it from someone...you know what I mean. But, anyway, I wish you good luck!!!
