Amyyma,
The only tip, is to apply through staffcv, like everyone else and wait for recruitment again.
By the way, pprune probably is not a good place to tell everyone that you have a "contact" that is going to help you get your "foot in the door".
There are alot of good people on here that have spent many hours worrying, and spending alot of money just getting to the interviews.
These people have been waiting for years for QF to start a recruitment drive again . So I dont think that it is going to be appreciated that someone comes onto pprune asking for advise regarding how to call thier "contact" to hopefully get a foot in the door.
Dont mean to be nasty, Im just being honest. Your best bet is go through the process like 4000 other applicants, or keep your information about your "contacts" to yourself.
Anyway moving right on now, to something more positive....
GOOD ON YOU EVACUATE! Thats fantasic. Thats what we want to hear. A pruner that looks like getting through. Well done. Your hard work and dedication is paying off. You must be so excited.

Congratulations Evacuate, it's good to see a fine ppruner make it to the next stage. After reading your post, it prompted me to check my email. Nothing in my in box, but I found my "Stage 4" invitation in my Junk mail box. Good thing I read your post, otherwise I would of deleted it. 
Hope to see in the QF corridors in west Oz

Hi guys,
Haven't had a chance to get on here the last few days. Had my 2nd round group interview in melb on wed 11th and all went well.
I'm now playing the waiting game like alot of other candidates in melb. They said we would hear within 7 days so fingers crossed for all involved.
I have to say i was very impressed with the way in which the group interview was handled. The facilitators were very friendly, professional and made you feel relaxed from the moment we all arrived. The morning was spent conducting acivities at our tables and a short q&a about QF history and flight attending.
Overall, a very pleasent and relaxing moring.
Well done to those who have made it to stage 3 and 4 in other cities. It sounds like melb candidates may have wait alittle longer than others.

Wow what a day!!
Today is my only weekday off until after New Year. So I spent the morning doing my first/last minute Xmas shopping, and then the afternoon getting my aviation medical done and sending off my security forms to the big QF.
Aaah, don't you just love doing a wizz in a jar while there is another chick watching you!! Talk about performance anxiety! :o Not to mention the needles for your immunisation status. The things we do.
Hope the rest of you don't get stage fright!
Until the next bit of news...

They watch you while you pee???? Oh my god!! I don't know that i'll cope!!
Where did you get yours done ozlander? (I'm a westerner like you) I have to have one too (YAY!) but i don't like the peeing while someone is watching routine!! I suppose it is a drug test & they don't want you swapping samples do they?!
Do you mind if I ask how much it all cost? I'm broke at the moment so hopefully it's not too damaging!
Good luck to everyone!

Hello fellow PPRUNERS-
just got the news to say no go for stage 3 but I will give it another go again and again......am fortunate enough to have a rewarding job that keeps me happy enough until my next opputunity comes up to spread my wings and try something else.
Am looking forward to reading about MANY Pprune members' success stories in the next few days as I carry on living the moment
My thoughts and hopes are with all of you waiting to hear and also to those who have heard like myself and will PERSIST!
Take care..

next time, perhaps!!
Hi guys
Got my e-mail on Tuesday saying no-go to stage 3. Ah well, it was a great experience and met some lovely people. Obviously, it was'nt meant to be this time and will give it another go next time. I too (like Wing 8) have a job i love and enjoy and will just have another go next time. Well done to all those who got to stage 3 and beyond

ALL QUIET....??
Hey all.....not much activity regarding the QF recruitment of late??
It would be interesting to know how many ppruners are thru to the 4th stage (medical/security/reference checks).
Does anyone have any info - as in where to from here?? I am now patiently waiting as I've sent off all the above info to QF. Fingers crossed for all of us up to this stage!!

What next
Congrats Ozlyboy and all others who made it to the 4th round.
Im not sure how QF intend to run it from here but I went through MAM interviews in June this year , medical security check ref check etc and had to wait until Nov for a letter to say I was on a short list for 6 months. I was lucky as some people waited 6 months to still get a rejection letter. apparently if you pass your medical, drug test,security check and you ref checks your application still has to go "exectutive review".......
I hope you guys are imformed quickly of you success or not as this last hurdle is the hardest wait..( Im still waiting and hopeing)
GOOD LUCK ALL

Having been unsuccessful this time for QF Im trying to think positively for next time.
So what should I do re my application on the StaffCV site.
Either
1. Delete that application and resubmit
2. Leave it and hope I get called in six months
3. Any other helpful suggestions
Also congratulations to those who have been successful.
Happy Days x
