Skype Interview
 
I've got invited to a 15-minute Skype interview, after the online tests which i've done last week. This is my second application and i hadn't been called for one, six months ago. Any suggestions?

Happy new year.

I guess it depends on cases basis? Now they keep quiet about my application. Just wondering when will they get back to me after ive updated my docs.

I have received the link for the aptitude test, what website do you recommend for the training, or the examples that they provide in the test is enough.

Privatepilotantalya,

My honest advice is not to spend too much time and money to prepare for the online tests. Just be sure to fully understand the principle that stands behind the verbal reasoning and critical thinking ones. The examples provided, although very very very simple, should be enough.

I've heard of many guys that bought study packages online, yet some of them had not passed the psychometric screening.

Best of luck.

It's just a relaxed chat to check your english level. Nothing technical to be asked.

I agree with Papagolf; but just a heads-up i'd like to give: The sentences in the critical thinking module tend to be longer in the real test than the ones in the exercises. Just try to catch the "all"s,"some"s and the "none"s.

In the inductive reasoning module, the series of symbols have two or three attributes. What i could observe were like these:

1) Black-white repetitions
2) Countable series (like one dot, two dots, three dots and so on...)
3) Rotating symbols.

All series have at least two of these attributes changing according to their own sequences. If you catch these sequences one by one, you can eliminate the false answers below the question. Hope my english was enough to explain though... 8]

As said before, neither of the tests is that hard when you catch the logic behind the questions.

Good luck.

Is it considered as the interview or you have to wait for them to call u to go to doha and do all the tests?
And what position did u apply for? Thanks.

APU_inop 3rd Jan 2017 12:44

I think they still have the normal interview when at the assessment in Doha.
The online one is probably just a screening so that they don't spend money and sim capacity if you won't make it for reasons such as not speaking english well enough.

Oh, ofcourse there is the real interview in Doha, waiting. The interviewer told me that i was gonna be called to Doha (even mensioned me that the tickets and the hotel would be provided) and also briefly stated the next steps there (the presentation, 50-question knowledge test, the panel interview and the sim).

Skype interview was just for checking your english, as the interviewer openly said, too.

Hi guys,

Qatar has asked me for a letter confirming my ATPL passes, i've sent my ATPL course completion certificate and also my ATPL exams results, but they insist in a letter from the UK CAA. I've emailed the CAA asking for one, but the reply was that it'll take 18 days to look at my email.

Does anyone know if they issue this letter?

Thanks

terroroftheskies 4th Jan 2017 12:48

Ive got the link for the psychometric test, any advice before i do it? Thanks in advance.

privatepilotantalya 4th Jan 2017 13:39

How long after finishing the psychometric test will they send the skype invitation and how much time they give you for doing the skype interview , do you have to choose from specific dates or what exactly

terroroftheskies 4th Jan 2017 13:42

Disregard my question. Saw the tips. Ehehe. Thanks guys

I completed the psychometrics the next day i received them. Also, the day following my completion of the tests, which was on the 29th Dec, they sent me the Skype invitation. It was asking me to tell them a couple of my available times in the day of 2nd Jan.

Ps: I still haven't received an invitation to Doha.

TonT, if you fail the ATPL exam you won't proceed on the assessment.

You'll have to wait 6 months to apply again for the role.

Study material for the 50 Tech Questions
 
I have an FAA ATPL and the first time I went to the QAexec interview they give me a 50 question exam and I had no idea of half of the exam. I am going for the second time and I want to pass it.
Then I find out it was EASA ATPL questions and nothing to do with my plane.

Is there a book or program to study for this exam?

Thank you,

AM

Sorry to hear that. Just Google'd some for you. If you're looking for whole sets (hard or soft/online copy), they look a bit pricey, around £1500:

Cats Aviation ATPL set

Pad Pilot was useful for our cadets in my ex-company

CAE Oxford looks a bit cheaper

You can also use less budget for limited-time membership for the question bank in this site (my ex-company was using this one for its cadets)

Alternatively, you can go for that famous www.latestpilotjobs.com . What this site basically do is compiling all the in formation and feedback about each airlines' screening processes and present them in an orderly way. For Qatar (both Airways and the exec, which are almost the same), they give out a 600-question database which you can practice on.

Personally, i was looking for a good set for myself, to keep in my ipad just as a source for reference. Thank you for being a reason for me to make a quick research 8)

TrevorPhillips 14th Jan 2017 13:55

Hi everyone, i'm sorry if i'm asking out of topic question.

Does anyone knows when Qatar Airways sponsorship programme will re-open in CTC ?
Or is there any other school provide sponsorship programme with Qatar except CTC ?

I think it varies greatly; applied for the Airbus rated FO at QE around same time and got response just this week.

Could anyone highlight average days off a month currently at Qatar Executive?

Finished test on Friday afternoon. Received mail on Tuesday.

Mgggpilot 22nd Jan 2017 04:38

Hi guys. I request your thoughts on this.
I twice applied for A320 FO position at Qatar when I had not reached the minimum requirements. I got an email disqualifying me.
But now I have met the requirements needed. How do I delete my account and start application afresh? or rather can I start a fresh email and re apply?
Thank you for your input(s)

Black Pudding 22nd Jan 2017 11:46

New email and reapply

c560xl 26th Jan 2017 17:34

Gents Can any one please tell me if there are any consective days off every month max n min

lfbb 26th Jan 2017 17:54

Mgggpilot, yes a friend of mine did it and worked. Just create a new account with a different e-mail. Good luck!

c560xl, 4 days off in a row every month that are called "Golden Days Off". Conditions apply though, leave and training days may cause you not getting them... but on a regular month you should get it no problem, but not necessary on the requested dates. Maximum days off that you can bid for is 6 days, but unfortunately with the lack of pilots around here is impossible to get it, specially captains.

c560xl 27th Jan 2017 17:15

thanks lffb have a great day

Mgggpilot 28th Jan 2017 02:50

Thanks lffb and others. New account has worked and I am now invited starting with online thingy.
