My worse Qatar Airways cabin crew interview meet and great assessment day experience

[@elleeeeeeeeeee159]

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I'm Elle. I'm Asian. A few days ago, I went to Qatar for recruitment. I dressed well according to their rules. Let's say everything: I wore what they mentioned. Nothing more, nothing less. I finished my bachelor's degree in finance a few months ago at an overseas university. Becoming a cabin crew was my childhood dream, so that's why I wanted to try it so badly. I fully prepared for the interview in advance. I even studied for the questions. Finally, the day came. I went. I was shocked. So many people even didn't tie their hair in a bun. Comes in a ponytail. Some of them even wear black dresses and pants. When the time came, I went inside to meet the recruiter. From the beginning, she gave me a bad vibe. She didn't even greet me when I said good afternoon! She just directly asked me, "Why do you want to become cabin crew?" Let's say I watched many videos before I went. So I noticed this question is a frequent one. I was already prepared for this. So when I was answering, she cut me off and asked me, Do you have any experience in customer care?, and I replied yes because I worked at a call center for an insurance company while I was studying for my degree to pay my tuition. She also asked me how I handled the upset client. Both questions I was prepared for before. So I was very happy. After I answered, she said, Wow, and gave me a very impressed look. Then she told me we would send you an email. I was shocked. The girl who was next to me even couldn't speak English well, but she got selected. I'm not comparing. I saw people who wore dresses, pants, and light and dark colored shirts get selected. I saw a girl in front of me struggling to answer the question, but her recruiter was nice and talked with her and gave her an invitation. Honestly, I was so confused. I'm not saying I'm the best, but let's put it this way: I prepared for this interview in a few days for the questions and everything, but I saw people who didn't even put an effort into it get selected. For a moment, my whole world crashed down. But I met a girl in the interview, and she got selected. She went next day to English and tattoo scare text. She passed the English text. But she has a little birthmark, and they rejected her. But she told me one girl had a little burn mark, and they held her for a while and told her to declare it, and then they passed her. This is my first cabin crew interview. It's a very bad experience. But I would like to try again with different airlines. I can't try Qatar Airways anytime soon because it's traumatized me. Next month, I'm going to try Air Arabia. From my personal experience, I don't know what they are looking for, but I think it's all on the recruiter. She just scans you within 1 second; if she likes you, you're passed; if she doesn't like you, no matter how good you are, you're out. Thank you very much! Before I went, I watched all the videos you uploaded and studied everything. Even if I didn't select, I can say I did a really good job, all thanks to you! I wish you the best of luck in everything! Let's hope we can fly high one day.

Hello, I don't know you but I went through the same ordeal. I did the exact same thing you did. But I did qualify for the final interview only for them to reject me. So don't give up please you will be working in one of the best airlines there is on this earth and you'll grow to be more than a cabin crew. Cheers 🥂

Its all about the recruiter..if they like you regardless of how you look and dress..

[@juliababra]

Totally agree 💯

[@oxoxid]

I heard they choose people who look like the particular country they are interviewing from. If the come to kenya they look for darkskin (or people who typically look kenyan) so it would be hard for them to pick an Indian in kenya and a kenyan in india. I think they do that to diversify their crew. So i think that is what was the case. I feel Kenyans have a better chance in Kenya

[@juliababra]

💯 i agree with you

[@kabughosarah5292]

Omg 😳 reading this comment as a Ugandan having meet and greet in France. I'm scared

[@esther2171]

Kindly no, I will disagree with you. It's not about what you look like in that particular country. If that is what they are following then they shouldn't have shortlisted those that don't 'look like the people of that country.' they shouldn't have replied to their application at all or mention it on the job post, simple.

[@TrishVlogs]

Looking great sis! I’d love to share my experience someday. Thanks for your videos.

[@juliababra]

Thank you so much gorgeous i would like to hear

[@TrishVlogs]

Oh sure! But because I got the job (not as cabin crew, but still in the same department. I’ll comment on this when I switch :).

Hey, i saw you that day. You're amazing ❤. Keep it up .

[@juliababra]

Thank you so much gorgeous ❤️

[@LucyTendo-k6g]

In my opinion they minded age a lot, I was given an invitation for the next day and I’m African. The next day I met more African ladies with light and dark complexion. Also I believe it’s luck 🤔

[@juliababra]

Yeah it’s luck i agree but for the morning interview they were so selective also my friend was hired and she is 37 yrs old is not about age but anyway i wanted to just share for people to know is not only how how they look

Hi Barbara? I am Beata from Namibia.. i have listened to your videos for about a month now after all i have seen a Namibian citizen started working with Qatar airways earlier this this year .. i was so happy seeing a Namibian working with you guys .. i have few questions to ask regarding how to become a cuban crew .. 1. if the jobs is advertised as an open day does it allow everyone to apply or is hand in CV .. 2. Do i need to have a passport before applying or visa? 3.

[@moureenmagdalen]

honey your body language also mattes, actually it matters the most because if it was only beauty there would be many cabin crew in the airlines. so try working on the body language.

[@juliababra]

That is know and i have mentioned in many of my videos if u been keen and following me for a long time

[@patrila1377]

I saw on another video that they reject persons with nose piercings. Maybe that was also an issue? The KZbinr is ex QR cabin crew and said that you should remove the nose ring and conceal the hole.

Are you my new Subscriber swrty? Cause if u are you an oj u would have seem most of my videos i talk about Qatar airways so i know all the rules 🙏🏿don’t worry

[@jeromemapenzi1312]

I went to the open day a few days ago and asked a similar question. My recruiter told me whatever degree or diploma I have, I must have at least high school diploma. But for example if you graduated from uni and have a bachelors degree, you can submit your uni diploma to them. If your Finance diploma is higher or equivalent to high school diploma, I think it should be ok! I hope it helps☺️
