STAGE 1:
- Registration
- Company presentation: contract, accommodation etc
- English language test
- Measurement of your height and weight
- Two group discussions (for about 20 minutes)
STAGE 2:
- Personal interview (about 15 minutes)
\UNQUOTE
I have attended Qatar's Opening Day interview last year. During the Opening Day, the recruitors did a company presentation which is followed by submission of our CVs. Those who receive the call from the recruitors later in the afternoon will be invited for the 2nd interview the following day.
I have recently heard that Qatar now does skin & teeth checks cos in the past, they do not. Is it true??
I always did not receive the call to come for the 2nd interview. Dun knoe why either. Can anyone give good tips on how to impress the recruitors on the 1st round ? Will saying " Good morning, how are you?" when submitting the CV creates an impression to the recruitor that you have a warm & friendly personality?
I have heard from an agency lady doing 1st round of screening on behalf of Etihad saying that while the Etihad recruitors already has the person in mind who to choose, based on the warm personality, friendliness & approachability the person exudes when they are conducting the height taking test. The recruitors just do a check again on the person's suitability during the 2-to-1 interview.
U see, airlines are always changing their interviewing procedures every now & then.

In my interview, they did a skin check to see whether I had any scars (which I do, one on each hand) but they weren't bothered with it. This was done in the personal interview! Teeth check, what would that include?
I think the procedure is different when it's an open day opposed to a recruitment campaign. If it's an open day, you have to submit your application the first day and they will screen it. If shortlisted, they invite you to come following day and that's where Stage 1 and Stage 2 come into the picture. If it's a recruitment campaign, they would have done the shortlisting back in Doha and invited you (you need to bring with you the invitation because otherwise they won't allow you in). Straight into Stage 1 and Stage 2.
And yes, it might be a good idea to make conversation with the recruiters when you are submitting your application, rather than being silent, not saying anything. Ask them how they are doing, if it's their first visit in Singapore, if they are enjoying the city etc...

just be careful!!
I night stopped in Doha and one of our crew brought a friend over to the hotel.
They were looking to leave Qatar Airways as soon as possible to to the dire conditions.
Days off and leave changed or cancelled without notice and very little crew rest on their longer flights.
From what I heard they would be last on my list if I was looking to start a flying career.
Perhaps if people stopped applying to this outfit who treat their cabin crew with little if any respect they may have to change the way they treat their crew.
STAY CLEAR.

I didn't get past the screening round (opening day) of Qatar interview on 25 March in Singapore. My recruitors were Sumuthi (HR from Sri Lanka) & BiBi from Singapore. I guess I was nervous when submitting my cv, though I tried to calm myself. I kind of repeated my words.... Gosh...
I have already tried my best, but still can't make it.. Been trying different airlines for the past 3 years. What should I really need to do to make the recruitor notice me? Anybody can help & give kind advice?
Btw, my friend who got to the 2nd round, failed the 1st session- English Test & Height/Weight. She herself is rather thin (55 kg, 170 cm) & below BMI.
Bibi, the singaporean recruitor, told them that some of girls either fail english test or too thin... Those who pass will get to the 2nd session- Group discussion.

well i think its a great airline...i work for them and i am not complainin...thats why we are the best cabin crew in the middle east...not emirates,gulf air or etihad...its qatar airways all the way...4 years in a row.
well i guess there will be no prob with ur weight...even i am under weight...they usually catch the overweight ppl...but the medical check up in doha was horrible...but i got through it.
u r allowed to wear glasses...we have crew who do wear them...but it usually has to be approved by our grooming officers...but glasses wont be a prob.
hey!qatar is a good airline...i am malaysian too and am workin with qatar airways...we have many malaysian here now...its good...we have them in all departments...they r takin many malaysian...u should give it a try...well at least i am not regretting.
cheers

How long takes the Qatar Airways' contract?
Hi everybody!
I recently filled out the application form but I could not see how long the contract takes.
Takes also 3 years as Fly Emirates?.
Are there more possibilities to get on Qatar Airways than Fly Emirates?.
Thanks
