Hey timlim, i am sorry to know that. I attended mine in singapore on 15th may and i did not get the call as well. I guess is because i stutter and emphasize on my current job too much?

1 year contract
My understanding is that too many cabin crew are leaving which is why QR have decided to change the service undertaking. A shorter contract by deducting a higher amount of money per month and encouraging crew to stay for at least one year and re-paying the bond.
Grooming is very strict at QR and they check it before every flight. It's done usually by power mad grooming officers who will make notes about pretty much everything. I remember a grooming officer who always had a clothing brush in her hand and would make every crew member do a catwalk in the briefing room!
mat2882: I think the competition for men is a bit higher because there are fewer positions available as a result of the ratio set between female and male crew (2 to 10: 20% male and 80% female). Still, don't give up!

Social life
Hello Guys..
I am new hire for Qatar Airways and I would like to ask generally how is the social life of an average flight attendant
besides this 12 hour in the hotel duty, is there a real chance to observe the destinations? - the cities I am staying at?
And besides this, when back in Doha, is there a chance for social life? I mean meet the others from the crew, spent time together, have a fun or is it more strict, people rather on their own? Is there a chance as for a male flight attendant to go out in the city of Doha with the female flight attendant, I mean have a drink, do a sport etg?
Becouse from the manuals provided to us it seems pretty strict and can not make the picture of the real social life there..
Thank you

Typical question...
Hey guys!
There is a question about weaknesses I hate to answer in exams because I never know what to say
, and says something like:
What negative points you have and what are you doing to improve them?
What are the atributes you must change to work in our Airline?
Any idea or advice is very welcome.

MissUAE
Nobody, but yourself, knows your weaknesses and exactly what you are trying to do to change them. You can say pretty much anything but you need to be able to demonstrate that you are actually trying to change.
Sometimes I judge people too quickly but I am aware of this problem and I have become more considerate.
That's a typical example. But, nobody can tell you what to say in an interview.

Emma Gemma: Hi there! Thanks for the encouragement. But it is really hard to pass the preliminary round. Do they look into your working experience? I really hope to have 1 chance to get to the 2nd round.

Marcos30: QR have many layovers (pretty much everywhere except in the Gulf) so you will have lots of opportunities to explore the destinations. Social life in Doha is what you make of it. Because of the curfew on days off and that you have to be home twelve hours before a duty can make it a bit difficult but not impossible. Go out for a drink and do sports? No problems from what I have heard! Downroute it's a different and many crew do things together: shopping, partying, sightseeing and dinner.
mat2882: They do look at your work experience but only to make sure that you have some sort of customer service experience. On top of that, you need to be what they are looking for in terms of appearance, behaviour and ability to co-operate and interact with other people.

Sometimes only few days and sometimes one month...
That's just because of procedure....
There is QRMC (qatar airways medical center) with few doctors.
And then, these doctors are doing their daily duties: every day they must to check new AB initio for initial medical, then - sick crew (daily sick situation and medical check to provide certificate) etc etc etc...
In meantime they are checking papers and documents that recruitment assistant updated and then after that doctor can give you the clearence.
If they dont inform you in first 5 days, dont worry - its not your time yet.
They will do it during 3-4 weeks, dont panic.

QR Age requirement is back from 23 to 21
God is so good! God heard what I asked and prayed for! QR brought back their age requirement to 21. Before they posted 23 y/o applicant can only apply for the Cabin Crew position, maybe there were no applicants applying for it so they brought it back again to 21. I'm very happy and excited.
May 31, 2011 they emailed me to attend the OD, AD and FI starting June 4th but I didn't go because I thought that they have still the 23 y/o requirement, but as I look onto the details on their website I freaked out and smiled! Shocked and shaking (it is not a O.A. reaction for an eager person) that they have changed the requirement to 21!
I should attended it......because that OD, AD and FI is only for Male applicant so there is no hassle as per OD Female occupy all seats! Thanks God!

Recruiters
How many Recruiters come to the Open Day?
Is said that they need many Cabin Crews, but in the end they send the successful email to 3 persons.
3 persons * 20 countries= They already have 60 Cabin Crews.
That's it.
Good good good luck...

loloy101: I was with QR for three and a half years before I resigned. Sooner or later you have to move on and do something else! I had a good time with them, even though that they were very strict, but I wouldn't want to be without the experience.

Yes, I remember you writing that things were much more different in your time. There was no curfew and the company was way smaller. You left around 8 years ago - if I remember well - and many things have changed since. Do you still live in Doha or do you fly for a different company?

If it's normal, you will be fine. Remember, DO NOT MENTION any medical history that might lower your chances!!!!!!! (For individual cases: read back in this thread.)
Do the shorter medicals.
