Qatar Airways Cabin Crew Recruitment

Anyone knows whether Qatar Airways is recruiting cabin crew?

What is the interview like? Since I'm an European citizen, will I have to fly to Doha if I wish to attend the interview or is it possible the interview would be held in any European country?

Their always recruiting matey, they do interviews over in Europe.

But would seriously think about it before you apply just do a search on them in Cabin Crew or Middle East to see what people been on here about them.

Good luck but you should try EK more stabilized and organized

I have read a few of them and understand Qatar Airways is not a worth airline working for.

However, I have decided to apply for them. I have filled out the application form and will be posting it soon.

I speak Danish, English, French, Norweigan and Swedish fluent. I also have knowledge in German and Spanish.

Pulse, I have. But I feel uncertain about my application. Should I send it by post or email?

I have a feeling I stand a better chance with Qatar Airways than Emirates. Everybody seems they want to pursue their careers with Emirates and not with Qatar Airways. This is why I have chosen to apply for Qatar Airways.

How picky are Qatar Airways?

Hi everyone.

I have applied for qatar and gulf too. But I have not receive any news from this two airline. DO you think they recruit from Asia or Malaysia. I dont think I would want to fly out anywhere to attend their interview. The plane ticket alone is going to cost me a bomb...

I had an interv with EK 2 weeks ago but wasnt sucessful. I will try again in 6 months but in the mnean time, I am applying to other airline as well. EK's competition is pretty stiff but the actual interv is stress-free compare to other airline I went to.

So what are your opinion on gulf air? I heard a lot on qatar already!

Hey Lads,

Ignore the disgruntled pessimists!!! Qatar Airways is fine to work for! Iv been with them for a few months now and Im having the time of my life with them and keep in mind I came from AerLingus before this so If they were treating me badly I sure as hell would not keep my mouth shut!!!

Anyway, Interviews are held all over Europe but you need to keep an eye in the newspapers! Usually in London, Germany and Czech Republic.

Anyway, Good luck with it and I stress again...Dont listen to the garbage you hear! Its all what you make of it!

All the best!

A friend of mine was currently undergoing the flight attendant course with Qatar Airways. One week later he received a phonecall from Emirates saying he was successful of the interviews he attended two months ago in Malaysia, before he left for Qatar. He decided to leave for Qatar a few weeks later since he hadn't heard anything yet.

The CEO of Qatar Airways threathen him if he did leave Qatar, he would send a copy of his passport to the UAE which could him from working with Emirates.

Is it really that bad?

Oh yes! There is (allegedly) a no-poaching agreement, due to the large number of defections to EK in the recent past.

t3953,

Is qatar recruitment team in Asia? I am from malaysia and I didnt hear any news from them. I think they are not as strict as EK.

Adde,

SAd to hear that about your friend. I noticed taht EK takes a long time to give a reply to the application. Frankly, I wouldnt know what to do, whther to wait for answer or accept the offer from qatar. Hope your friend is happy now with qatar. by the way, have you applied for ek yourself?

sad but true

Adde if u want to work for EK "Casper" will demand u stay in QR and he will personnally make your life a misery,especially if u are of eastern decent now that he knows u have applied to EK.See tons of crew have in the past left QR and gone to EK,so u have to leave one to join the other.Now Aerlingus person I am not a disgruntaled employee I decided to leave QR and I keep posting here cause I went true the same process a time ago and I saw how badly people were treated so I'm just spreading the word,3 months is not really a long time.EK is the better choice,but thats just my opinion,bye bye.

Hey everyone!

Kenaco!!! Like you said, you went through the process some time ago when it was small and pretty much a regional airline! The airline is getting a little big for himself to keep tabs on everyone now so it doesnt happen anymore! Now if you cant beleive that then thats your problem but stop insisting in spreading RUMOURS around the place for people who really want to give it a try down here, thats something kids do in school! As I understand it people did the very same about EK and look at how you speak highly about them!!! Plus there isnt exactly a huge amount of jobs in the market at the mo so the last thing these people need is scare-mongering (please feel free to correct my spelling)! Now from someone who actually CURRENTLY works for the airline, ITS A LOT OF FUN! And as for the EK - QR thing, thats mostly bull too! If you applied for Ek and QR at the same time and took one over the other while you were waiting to hear, than its not a problem to move. If your employed with one while you go for an interview with the other than thats a problem, I know this because a week after I arrived in Doha I was offered EK and I was told it wasnt a problem as my Visa was still to be issued! But I decided to stay with QR because promotions were more forthcoming!

Anyway guys/girls giving QR a shot, best of luck and dont beleive everything you hear. This is a RUMOUR website after all! See you in MAN from next April!!!

Cool

Hey Kenaco!

I dont doubt any of it is true! Iv heard the stories. But like I said, things do change. Iv met the man himself, nothing exciting to say about him but certainly not someone Id be afraid of in a hissey and same should be said by anyone who meets him!!! As for your spelling...I need a bleedin dictionary beside me for mine!!!!

Cya!

T 3953

I have to chuckle really...

I had a fab time out there, but it APPEARS that you might be one of them kinda people that drools over AAB.

Stick it a bit longer and get back to us!

He HAS done some great things for the airline, but never really taking the crew into consideration.

It must be SO exciting for you I guess!

Cheers

Taba

Drool????

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

HE WISHES!!! Believe me, the laughs I have about Ali B at the dinner table would prove otherwise!

I just dont think its right people bad mouthing a company they no longer work for and putting off potential applicants! Sorry if that leaves me open for criticism but wont make me think twice before putting things in here!

But at least you agree that the place is a laugh!

Take care!

t3953

Cant believe you turned down a company like EK mate, sorry have to say it.

Yes I did love the place and had the same attitude like you did after all 3 1/2 years out their and kept thinking that things would change, some did I remember when we did tea/coffee and headsets on the DXB runs every flight. and on the B727 as well with useless bev makers. Brings back fun memories.

I have gotten a lot of my info from current crew so dont think its all bull t3953, but do hope you enjoy it, keep thinking that it will be a brilliant airline but until they get rid of The Bouncer from Mothercare things will still be the same yes it will get bigger but the way he treats the crew will still be the same.

Glad your enjoying it hope to catch up with you for a beer and a laugh
