Qatar - maximum age
I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere already, but could anyone in the know shed some light on age limitations for cabin crew new entrants?
I am 38 and have flown 7 years... is it worth going to an open day or am I wasting my time?
Thanks

minimum age
Can't answer that one. But can advise that if you get the job you will be treated like a 5 year old. With 7 years experience I would look elsewhere unless you want to go back to kindergarden.

open day
hello you guys,
how it went for me : last year i made it through the whole process at an open day. I had my FI but it went wrong, very wrong coz i couldn't get my night off from my job and i showed up very very very tired.
so, this year i attended another open day. the recruiter asked me if a ever appied before for qatar airways. i couldn't lie and i explained what happened last year. What do you think happened next??? They didn't call me for the next day. and now, i just don't know .... was i supposed to lye?
Just for you to know , the open day was in Bucharest , Romania where showed up like 400 ppl.
And for those of you who worry about the right photos at the open day ; don't worry just show up with one photo bussiness attire (one head and shoulders or whole picture) and your cv. If you make it through the whole process the cute recruiters will tell you what to do next. Good luck!

You didn't get through the first (cv) stage this time, if I got it right?
I think that's not the reason. I reached the FI with Emirates 2 years ago and I mentioned that during the chat and they called me to the next round. Though I didn't pass through this. But the last FI is not the reason.
And I think that is the same with Qatar and your situation.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

Tips for Qatar open day
I just want to share few tips with you. When I had English test in Romania,They gave us pencil (bad quality,hard to erase) without rubber.
I do not know,It's the same in other country or not. But I recommend you to bring pencil and rubber with you.
And on CV submission day-to take some chocolate with you and a bottle of water so you'll not get dehydrated before you'll have to submit your CV.
And if you pass through FI,they'll ask you photo which you should have it prepared many day before.
colour photograph against a plain(avoid white) background
warm open smile
stand facing camera,feet in same level and hands relax by side.
For hair you have to put front hair on one side(not in the middle) and tide it back
hands relaxed by sides
DRESS CODE
Business suit with KNEE-LENGTH ,SKIRT and skin colour stockings
Please do not wear neck scarves
court shoes with heels
Conservative jewelry
I'll post photo later when I get home,for you to have idea.
It was nice experience having interview with Qatar.
I hope,I'll have positive feed back from them

I was late in my FI because of this,I do not want anyone to have the same situation. So this is my advise for female for her full length photo.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE PHOTO GRAPH TAKEN AS FOLLOWS:colour photograph against a plain(avoid white) background

Hi, I have a question for whoever is reading and thinks they might be able to help.
A few days ago I attended an open day for Qatar Airways in Romania.
I am male, 28 years old, 1.79 m, have worked for Etihad Airways until about 3 and a half years ago, I worked another 3 years as a cabin manager for a low cost carrier in Eastern Europe, so I have around 6 years experience.
At the open day I failed the first step (handing in my CV and photos), even though the recruiter seemed pleased with my profile during the brief talk we had.
I went back the next day and approached one of the recruiters, I apologised and told them I know they can't give me any feed back and I asked when I should reaply.
She said that If some other airline does not pick me up in the meantime, I should wait more than 6 months because she doesn't think the regulations preventing me from being recruited at the moment will be changed in the airline in 6 months.
I did not ask any further questions as I did not want to make her uncomfortable but it's killing me to know what regulation that might be.
Any ideas?
I'm asking myself because she did not tell me what they usually say ( come back in 6 months or try to find a different career).
If anyone thinks they can shed some light , I would really appreciate it.Thank you and good luck to everyone
