Hired locally by Hamad

MissRN
By MissRN

Hi.

I'm a Filipino Female Nurse and was interviewed by Hamad Medical Center (Al Wakra Hospital) in February. Luckily, passed the interview. But until now (May 9,2013), I still haven't started work with them. They asked me to submit my Passport copy 5 days ago. Can you guys please tell me, if you know how much more months will I be waiting for so I could start?

anyways, I'm under a Father's Sponsorship, since Hamad woundn't give me a Sponsorship from them.

Thank you. Your answers regarding this query will so much be appreciated.

God bless us all.

I am currently in KSA and was offered and I accepted the offer from Hamad. As per HR my visa is under process. I asked the if I will be endorsed to an agency in the Philippines the answer was no. Is this possible? I asked my point of origin and they said my ticket will be from Philippines. They said my formal contract will be signed once I arrive in HMC but from what I know POEA will require a copy of my contract if its new employer for the issuance of my OEC.

Anyone here experience the same hiring process like me?

BTW positio is an admin job

hi Im applying work to HMC as anesthesia tech... documents such as CV, copy of transcripts,license and passport was sent to them as requested.. then one tume this HR called me again then un fortunately the line connection was not clear so he said he will just send me email... from this email he said ....

that my documents were sent to the hiring managers and said that they reccomended another role for me and the nursing team will get in touch with me to talk about that role... I was curious about it and I ask them if I didnt fit on my chosen position... He just said im good for that position but they said Im more suitable for this another role based on my qualifications and experience....

what does it mean... Im still curious about it and few days after that mail I ask the followed up about it but he did not give me a response.. almost two weeks from now and still waiting for their response..

Since Hamad is not accepting CVs in the respective HR of the Hospitals, you have to pass your CV in the Main HR together with the photocopy of your QID. Then they'll call you once you're shortlisted for interview. :)

to ORNURSE- you can ask your husband. you will need the same documents as what your husband submitted before when he is the one who applied in hamad. the only difference is, depend in which job you are applying. if you have the same job with your husband, same documents you will need.

Good day! I just got my family visa under my husband who is now working in hamad hospital. I just want to get your advice because I am a nurse too and want to work in hamad. How did you apply in hamad locally? And what documents I should prepare?thanks in advance

Hamad do not accept applicant under family visit visa, business visa or tourist visa. They only accept local applicant under husband or fathers sponsorship with valid residence visa.

Hi everyone.. I've been told already that HMC won't accept if your visa is Family Visit. How about if it's a business visa, will they accept?

Hi Doodeesoo. The Prometric Exam of Qatar is different from Saudi Prometric. Try to inquire at the Supreme COuncil of Health Qatar. Regarding the Hamad Application, try to pass your CV to their HR. :)

before they submit your papers to credentialing department they'll see to it that you don't have a gap of more than 6months or beyond..like 7months perhaps..i got the offer a month after interview yours taking too long..you better follow up

you can apply in hamad a medical insurance. its 300 riyals per year. it will be deductible in your salary for 25riyals per month. be sure you have a health card before you can apply a health insurance. once you have a health card, all the check ups is free and beside hamad has a staff clinic for all the employees.

By MissRN• 10 May 2013 12:05
MissRN

just like my Dad, he has Medical Insurance (AXA), is it covered by HMC or is it my Dad who'll have it for me. Like he's paying just 50riyals per visit on check ups.

By richard000• 10 May 2013 12:01

what medical insurance?

By MissRN• 10 May 2013 12:00

very honest answer. thank you so much. I'll have patience waiting for my documents here at Doha then. :)

how about the Medical Insurance, how would it be since I'm locally hired?

sorry for asking too much questions. :)

if you apply in unistaff, you will be overseas hired but there is no guarantee that you will be hired because there are lots of applicant lets say, that is better than you and the interview process there is difficult than here. and also the waiting period once you are hired there is very long. some applicant waited for 6 months to 2 years before they came to doha.

By MissRN• 10 May 2013 11:54

still the same as before. basic salary and transport depends on what grade they will give you.

if ever that I'll apply in the Philippines at UniStaff, you think it will be a good idea or I'll just wait for my papers to get done?

because I'm really desperate to start working already. :(

By MissRN• 10 May 2013 11:41

too many changes after 3 years. now, they are letting us go through a lot. :(

about how much do you think will I receive as salary and transport allowance?

By richard000• 10 May 2013 11:35
richard000

that was 3 years ago. your benefits will be basic salary and transport allowance. airline ticket is not included for locally hired. accomodation is not provided because you are under fathers sponsorship. you can only apply for an accomodation or housing allowance if your sponsor is not receiving accomodation and housing allowance from his company.

By MissRN• 10 May 2013 11:30
MissRN

Hahaha. Treat? Agad agad? hahaha.

Dunno still how much salary will they offer. and still no idea if I'll have the benefits since I'm locally hired.

I'm under Father's Sponsorship, but my VIsa is still under process by the Immigration. That's another problem for me. :(

Everything for 4-5 weeks? really? good for her. i'm so inggit. I'm waiting for almost 3 months already. :(

wow! really good for her. anyway, is she SPonsored by Hamad as for her Visa?

About how much time did she wait? approximately?

Thank you so much. these information your giving will really help me go through this. will PM you if I'll on Verification Process already.

By richard000• 10 May 2013 11:11
richard000

she just waited for the verification to be finished then after that she started to work. actually for my wife, she was not interviewed by hmc. we just submit her cv then the head of the department reviewed the cv and approved it.

By MissRN• 10 May 2013 11:01
MissRN

you're wife too is hired locally then?

really, a lot of process. so maybe it'll take more than 3-4 months for me to accomplish these things. toxic. :(

have a 5 month experience gap already. maybe I wont reach 18 months of waiting. hehe.

what I dont want is that they're taking each step so long, it's like every 2 weeks, my paper is in staying in a table for signature/approval. And also, they're asking requirements one by one.

how many months did your wife wait before appointed/starting?

By richard000• 10 May 2013 10:43

btw. HMC will only accept applicant with less than 18 months gap experience.

i am overseas hired. i have done all that process when my wife was hired by hamad hospital. if your nbi is not authenticated by dfa, you have to send it back to the philippines and ask some relative to authenticate it in your behalf then after that, you have to bring that documents to the philippine embassy here in doha for another authentication then to the ministry of foreign affairs doha.

By MissRN• 10 May 2013 10:22
MissRN

You know a lot about HMC hiring. Are you locally hired to? What hospital are you assigned?

Are you a Filipino?

There's alot to accomplish. i think it'll take a year before my appointment. OMG. i'm too bored!

How will I have authenticated NBI? I have NBI, but still not authenticated.

too much time waiting for these documents to be processed. :(

how about the medical exam? when will that be advised? what do you mean Verification of Academic and Professional Credentials? is this the Red Ribbon thing from DFA? I've done that prior to going here, is that different from what you're telling?

Thank you for your informative replies. :)

if you are not in the process of their verification and credentialing, i think you are not yet hired. maybe you passed the interview and you are now shortlisted in the list of their applicant. since they already asked your copy of passport, i think you have the chance to be hired and given an offer. just have patience to wait for a few more days or weeks. once you are given an offer, you will undergo the verification process wherein you are only given 6 weeks to finish the verification of your academic and professional credentials like documents from school, ched and prc.

OhMyGosh! I still haven't gone thru that process, I think. Because I was interviewed last February, then by the middle of March, I was told to pass my credentials. I haven't heard from them for almost a month. then last week, I received an email from them advising me to pass my Passport copy to them. then I asked what will be the next step, they told me that I'll just wait for another call.

I think every month, my documents is passing just one table for signature. :(

did you finish already the HMC verification and credentialing? if not, then it will take 2-3 months before you will start because the verification and credentialing process takes 1 month to 1 1/2 months it depends on the processing of your school and prc. but if you already finish the verification, just wait for less than a month.
