am just giving you a hint,,,illegal to the airlines but legal to you,,,if you failed then told to wait for 6months no need to wait,,open a new account,you will get a new reference no and you never know you might just be lucky!

Hey Mimi... don't you think it might just be kinda risky if we tried doing you are advising? Am tempted to try it but what could be the consequences behind it? Believe me despite the fact that interviewers get to see many faces...they are a bit keen...its one of the traits they possess...anyways..as for me, my 6 months are almost over (2 months to go)and am patient...remember...to be cabin crew...you real got to be patient with everything

Od croatia
Hello everyone..
I went to the OD in Zagreb Croatia, yesterday, and didnt pass the screening..
I really don't know why
I was in my business suit, had an Emirates bun though,I'm not fat,and I tried to look my best,mingled with, made some new friends, and smiled all the time. But I think it might be couse I only had highschool education in my CV. I didn't wanted to put my college educations couse they are still in process .And I didn't put that I am learning arabic and tukish couse I just started learning those languages.. so... I thought they might look at it as a minus.. maybe I was wrong.
Anyway did anyone from Bosnia or any other place attended this OD?
Can you guys here give me any tips how to pass the screening?

Qatar open day, bucharest, april 9th
Hello everyone!
I just want to share my experience with Qatar at the OD held in Bucharest on April 9th.
I must say that it has been a very interesting journey of 3 days (I had today my FI) but very hard as well...On Saturday (09.04.) we had the CV drop off...there were around 300 people and we stayed in line at a very nice hotel to hand the cv to one of the recruiters and answer the questions (or not) she had for us. There were Ms. Adriana and Ms. Mazura, 2 very elegant ladies and very stylish as well...I went to Ms. Adriana and I smiled a lot while she was asking me about my current job. We bonded,let's say and at 4,30 that day I received the call to come again on Sunday.
That was all for Saturday.
On Sunday we were like 60 girls (no boy although there were allmost 20 at the drop off CV's). They started with a very nice presentation about Doha and Qatar Airways and the english test followed...I must say that although I am fluent in English, it has been a little tricky...logic questions and text comprehension and also an essay...less than half made it to the next stage, luckily me too (group discussion) ; we had some themes to present and here is where the real fun time happened - some girls were in a real debate, others were voting against each other, etc..all of those who were lousy and bossy went home...after that, they handled us an application form and some giudelines for the pictures and we went home, after establishing the schedule for the FI.
Today, it has been a more relaxed discussion, I was talking more about myself, my interests, what I like,etc. and it l;asted like 15 min. In 3 weeks time I will have the final response but I must say that it was a very interesting and pleasant experience!...the most amazing thing has been to find out that the recruiters have been with Qatar for more than 8 years now...amazing, if we take in consideration the discussions and opinions on the forums....what do you guys think? Is there anyone here already in Doha and can share his/her experience?
Have a great evening!

yey!!!
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that today I have received the congratulations email from Qatar!
Until now, this has been my journey:
09.04. - Open Day
10.04. - Assesment Day
11.04. - Final Interview
18.04. - Congratulations Email.
I have to start ASAP the medicals and i hhope I will be able to send them the results this week as well.
Until further notice, I am tentatively booked to travel in the month of May, from Bucharest, if everything goes well with medicals (hope so, i am a little nervous!).
Some advice, guys? I'm a bit scared by the stories I've heard about Qatar but I believe that now it's time for me to follow my heart and instincts and I will try this oportunity!
Hugs,
May

Well I will give you a glimmer of hope through all the bad comments about QR, I worked for them for several years and undoubtedly it is very hard to comply with some of the ridiculous rules and that's the problem...nobody minds discipline and rules but when they are absurd it's hard to take. Since I've worked with EY I am amazed at how "programmed" I had become, ex QR cabincrew are very easy to spot!!! However, I still have many friends in Doha and also many ex QR crew who have moved to EY and because we all endured the extreme regime of QR together we have bonds that could never be broken......so in hindsight if I had not followed my heart and joined QR I now would not have these fabulous people in my life. So, as much as I would like to tell you not to do it - because believe me it is pretty awful - I couldn't be that hypocritical. You will meet some good people but you will be up against a lot of discrimination towards Westerners, don't try to understand the policies of the company because they will make no sense, just accept them, do not have an opinion because nobody will thank you for it, never let your guard down..not for a minute....crew who report their colleagues are rewarded and the temptation is just too great for some to resist, a lot of Asian crew will accept anything thrown at them because they are frequently supporting family back home and for them to get sent home is worse than putting up with the BS. Hope and pray that the chief never sets his sights on you because if you turn him down you will be out on your ear!! Go with the goal that you will stick two years to pay back your service undertaking and put it all down to experience. The training is thorough and most airlines will view you favourably when you are seeking your next job..well except EK will make you wait a year for the opportunity after QR...I stuck it for four years, I resigned and within a week they sacked me!!! Work that nonsense out!!!! They asked me not to resign because I was all the wonderful things under the sun (which roughly translated means that I was one of the few Westerners to ever stick it that long!!!) and they even offered me an alternative position but when I declined all the offers and resisted all the flattery they called me into the office and sacked me!! LOL!!!!

Expatinaction:
I have a question regarding the period that EK makes you wait if you're coming from QR... This rule is just between QR and EK? Or there's some restriction for people going between Etihad and Emirates?
