Latest Gulf Air Recruitment
Hi all!
I got an email tonight from GF recruitment inviting me to interviews in Sydney on the 23rd (or was it 25th?:P )
Unfortunately due to prior commitments I can't make it. I am wondering if there is anyone I can contact to be put on a list in case they come to Perth or Adelaide next year? Phone number or email would be great, as they didn't include any contacts on the email aside from the main web site.
Has anyone else got this email?

sky,
you poor thing, you are having the worst luck with this arent you!
are you sure you cant juggle all the things on that day and turn up anyways?
unless your getting married on that day, im sure your capable of nudging your schedule around a little bit.
you could get a job at a bar somewhere, if only for when i get my rejection letter, you can then help me drown my sorrows!
but err, as for any contact information, im not much good to you
sorry!

male gf crew
hey everyone,
GF only recruit Bahraini, Omani or Emerati (the 3 owner states) male nationals as cabin crew. To get a flying job with them if you are a male you must be a chef. Then when you come to GF you will always work in First Class.
Good luck to all those people having interviews with GF in Aus. Let me know who interviews you and how you go. Be sure to have a few customer service stories ready. Good ones/bad ones etc. Also have a speel about yourself ready that your confident in presenting to a group of people. Eg name, age, prev work experience, langauges etc. The usual. This was the first thing that I had to do in my interview and half the people were told to go home after that.
By the way where is the interview?????
Good luck,
DesertCrew

Well the email they sent me invited me to Sydney, mentioning they will be in other ports later in the year.
Obviously the actual positions will be based in Bahrain.

Yeah, sorry that wasn't worded very well. See what being overly anxious will do to you
I did mean interviews in Sydney 
I know the jobs based in Bahrain, I think that would be awsome
Well however likely or unlikely it is I have my fingers crossed to get an invite to Melbourne or Brisbane. Good luck for Monday, I will have my fingers crossed for you. Even though I\'m little bit jelouse
I wish you the best. At least then you can come on here and tell us how it went and what to expect. All the best, sure you\'ll do great

Oh, I am not going on Monday, as I am very far away from Syd at the moment!!!
I am taking up their kind offer to attend in one of the other cities in August
Should probably have mentioned that!
So no-one here has been to a Gulf interview?? I know a girl who went to interview with them a few years ago, I will see if she has any info on what it is like....

I am so surprised GF still don't recruit white males. Emirates and Etihad do, so why not Gulf? Bahrain is a great place and is on the up, and not as costly as Dubai. It's a pity.

That would be great.
Well *Fingers crossed really tightly* I may even see you at one of the other recruitment days, I figure it's always best to be positive, I havent been to any airline interviews yet so I havent become negative about it (lets hope I never do )

Mike, perhaps at this stage they don't feel that it is needed. I am not sure what the pax cross-section on GF is like, however with Ek flying to lots of destinations in UK and Oz, it was obvious many pax would feel more comfortable with (some) Western crew members.
Maybe once Gulf expand some more they will hire Western guys.
Or perhaps they never will, maybe they want it to be their 'trademark'???
Miss Croft,
Don't be too apprehensive about interviews, look at it as a way to meet fellow applicants, learn more about the industry, and possibly get a fantastic job!
Just make sure your application is in 101% tip top shape before you send it off (e.g. spelling, grammar - it only takes 2 seconds to spell check, and about 20 for the recruiter to decide if they like your resume or not!) So it pays to be thorough!
Also, try and find out as much as you can about the airline and think about all the different kinds of job/life experience you have (not necessarily paid work, either - lots of people forget about clubs or voluntray activities!)
Stay calm and you'll be

gf interview
Hey,
Someone asked if anyone had been to a GF interview. I had so thought I would give you information about the interview I had and hope its a help to some of you even though I know the interview in Oz before mine was a totally different format to mine.
When we first got there we had to register and answer simple questions like can we swim are we over 21 etc. We then got given a number and we had to go inside and talk to ther applicants. Our task was to talk to and get to know at least 3 other people and then get up in front of the group and talk about yourself and the people you had met. Most people talked for just under 5 mins maybe but there was no time limit, quality was much more important than time. By the way there was 3 interviews on the day.
After this we had abreak then after that half of the people were told to go home. We then had to fill out an application form all about our personal information and details regarding our family, like listing your parents etc. We each then had a one on one "check over" where they looked at our arms and legs for scars, checked height asked weight, teeth, skin etc. General overall appearance. We were all then sent back outside and they got groups of 3 or 4 people to come in at a time and they were given a panel interview. Questions were asked and each applicant had to answer they would pick who went first, very annoying if someone steals what u were going to say!
After this we were told they would be in contact and a week and a half later I got an email saying I had got the job. I had to send backa signed confirmation and 2 weeks after that I left Oz! It all happens very quickly so start arranging goodbye parties and packing your suitcase! ha ha.
I was very stressed about the interview the whole day cus I wanted the job so badly but looking back I would have had a lot more fun if I hadve relaxed!
The atmosphere within the group was very friendly and all the girl are really supportive of each other, I now live with some of the girls that I met on that day!
So good luck to all of you going to interviews and if u have anymore questions Im happy to help!
