Eman h: sorry for the late reply.. If you can wait for the head nurse position please do. As I observe here in hamad, if you sign a Charge Nurse position you will be a charge nurse for the rest of your stay here in hamad. Depending on your boss if He/She will promote you
yna27: congratulations!.. and now your waiting begins.. :) ..as for me and my colleagues. During our interview in the Philippines, we passed the interview in the morning and we got our offer letter in the afternoon on that same day.. :)
hi everybody! I recently passed the skype interview of HMC via UNistaff agency on oct this year. But until now i havent received any offer letter from them. For how long i have to wait for an offer letter? Thanks in advance!
Seems it got a bit slow lately. Here you are the news:
The delay in sending the offer was due to HMC improper handling of the whole thing. I am not sure, but seems there is sort of lack of communication inside the place.
Got in touch with agent lately and was promised to get this sorted by this week!
i have got my visa since 2 wks. i,m waiting for the ticket.
is it take too long?and i started with them since June 2013 on a head nurse position and they told me in the interview that position will be available after 6 mths. the available now is charge nurse i agreed to save time . can i change the position after coming to Hamad.
Grade 113 is a Senior Managerial post. If I am not mistaken Doctors are given grade 113 also.
patience is virtue :) ..hamad will surely test your patience after passing the interview.. I myself waited for 6 long months before being deployed. some of my colleagues even waited for 18 LONG MONTHS or 1.5 YEAR after passing the interview.
salary is GOOD in terms of grade 113 and a lot of people in hamad are dreaming to be in that grade. :)
visit me in Bio-Engineering Heart Hospital as soon as you get here. :)
elbachir: In my experience.. HMC accommodation are very decent and nice.. They give us a Fully furnished flat (apartment) fully furnished means complete appliances, fridge, stove, bed, sofa, fully air-conditioned rooms etc. if you have a family you can bring them here (under your sponsorship through HMC) and HMC will give you a whole flat with 3 bedrooms and 3 toilet & bath.
Thank you ECOOO for the information.I hope you are doing well.In fact.I called HMC and they told me they are checking my document ...2 weeks they will contact me! so am witing .Plz ,I read a lot of comments about Acommodation issue and am a bit puzlled coz a lot of people say that HMC includes in the contract the term "acommodation provided " would please share with me your idea about the contrat issue.if possible ask for about the info of the grade of "Senior Medical customer representative " any info you get is well appreciated.
I'm new here, hoping to get info that can help me decide if i'll accept HMC's offer or not.
I am not a nurse, my experience is mainly with Supply Chain/Purchasing. I was able to passed a skype interview for Materials Management Technician post, after a month, Universal Staffing contacted me for the offer letter.I'm having a hard time deciding whether to accept or not as the difference of their offer with my current salary is around 40% only, can anyone please advise what are the other benefits that I can expect from HMC? does salary increase yearly? is there a room for promotion? is working environment good as well as accommodation? Really appreciate your help. Thanks!

hello Tinkerbellalive! been reading your blog about qatar adventures and find interesting. i was scheduled for skype interview next week for Heart hospital so hopefully i can nail it and be a part of HMC people. Any advice for me? Also, i am waiting for the part 5 of your qatar experience :).
Hi guys! I'm new here and found this Kabayan forum.. anyway, i have an invitation for a skype interview next week for Project analyst position in Heart Hospital.. Do you guys have an idea if the interview will be as hard as it gets? I'll be doing my very best of course for that because all i know, based on my research is working in HMC is great opportunity.
Did you guys attend to this interview as well? how long you've waited after the interview to go to the next step? also, do you know what is the salary range for the said position?
If any of you have more questions my experiences might guide you... Just go to my blog for you to be more prepared than I am as you go to Doha... :) Feel free to post and ask any concerns.. Just
Hi guys nice to know that you were able to go to qatar already and work. I signed the contract last year June. Sent my verifications as instructed but the unistaff agency still say just wait for a txt or call. Its been 8 months already. Is it ok to wait or should i apply to other hospitals? But i would really like to work at Hamad.
Hey guys..im already here in doha. They booked our batch through gulf air, with connecting flight in bahrain.Dont forget to bring jacket, it's cold here.
ccc123: ohhh.. newly opened hospital like Qatar Heart Hospital.. that's good!.. but it is not located in Doha.. but its good.. since it is a brand new hospital.. congrats!.. :)
i signed last oct. 19... and received the verification last 26 of nov... anyway i am still working and will be released by my present employer on february 2013 so i am not in a hurry... i will be assign at cuban hospital dukhan....
ccc123: when did you sign the offer letter?.. which hospital will you be in?.. just as what we said "patience is REALLY a virtue"..haha ..that's why they are not recommending not to resign from your current job because of the long wait..hehe
i remember, when i went to my school for the verification, i already have my TOR and Diploma copy. It saved time. With the reference inquiries, i suggest for your employers to have it mailed (special) - it will take two weeks to get there.
ccc123: I've waited for a month or so. are your documents in red ribbon already? (nbi, tor, prc, certificate of employment/s, certificate of training/s, etc.) ..after the red ribbon, you need some of those documents to be stamped in the Qatar Embassy in BGC. As for me, unistaff asked me to stamped ALL of my documents in the Embassy. =|
don't worry no hassle will happen.. you just need to prepare yourself for the long wait.. :) ..I've waited 6months.. I signed the offer letter on June 12, 2012 and I got my plane ticket on Dec. 11..
ccc123: I think I met someone in the Embassy that is the same as your case.. she just have a "authorization letter" valid I.D of the person that is applying and a valid I.D of the person doing the task. I just went to my school, then asked them for "CAV" and I paid 280php. Then after 1 week they gave me a "claim stub" from the DFA office, after 1 month my papers are done.. :)
tinkerbellealive: oohh.. don't worry I will report on dec. 8 for the briefing.. I'l update you.. :)
In my school, i did it personally, i just showed them the papers and they already know what to do. I paid more than 2k for the delivery.
PRC, there is a specific window for that near the entrance. They will instruct you to pay at DHL outside (2K + also).. The DHL agent knows the process already because he had done it a hundred times or more. :)
ecooo
Re: ticket
no ticket yet. if they don't give me a ticket this week, maybe im not included in the dec batch :(
@ Tinkerbellalive,, mind you if i ask how did you do the verification at school and prc... i'm at credential stage right now but the problem is that i cannot do it personally for some reasons. i just did authorization for someone to do it. can u please give me some infos/procedures so that i can guide that person.. your answer is very much appreciated and anticipated.. thanks in advance...
I am an MBBS doctor from pakistan, currently i am doing house job which will be completed in 5 months.can anyone tell me the procedure to apply at HMC?? Plus what is the salary they offer?Is it possible to carry post graduation in HMC??
I just received an email that they'll text for the briefing date. When I went to Unistaff, one applicant told me that it will be on Nov 25 or earlier... And I think, there's another batch also on November following Nov 25... Well, good luck to us! :)
Yup,that's what they have told me ..they are requesting to hamad for nov 25 flight. So, nov 25 is just a tentative date, it really depends on hamad. Just prepare. Are you done with Pdos?
heyy congrats!.. i told you patience is virtue.. think of it as a vacation for 5 or 6months..hahaha ..we cannot blame universal staffing services inc. staffs if sometimes they are quite cranky maybe it's because a lot of applicants are kept on calling them.. as for me, I enjoyed my waiting time really well..
really?.. they said there are nov. 25 batch?.. I called them today & asked them when will I leave.. they told me to wait for my plane ticket.. they already emailed hamad last monday and now waiting for their feedback.. I think booking a ticket won't take them 10mins.. hahaha
Ecopabillar ..yes i resigned even before the hamad inteview, i signed rhe contract last june9.. Thanks for all your encouragement.My visa has been released. I am just waiting for the medical result.Unistaff told me, they will include me to nov 25 batch, but i requested for the batch following the nov 25. Those who are waiting,keep on praying.
TICKET ARRIVED TODAY, DEPARTURE ON 18TH NOV VIA GULF AIR......see u guys in qatar.can contact me in CENTRE OF HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT. Can anyone tell me which hospital is having this centre?
hi margarette08.. when did you sign your offer of employment?.. i'm still waiting for my plane ticket.. Did you already resign from your current job?.. i've been waiting for 5months already.. it's because of the holidays.. I think the ramadan and the eid holidays are like the christmas, new year & all saints day holidays in our calendar. i think it's almost 2 months of holidays on their side.. i called unistaff and they told me no one is answering to their emails from hamad.. i think working day starts today.. i wish they won't have a holiday hang over... =|
Waiting is driving me crazy...When i asked for an update,Universal kept saying to wait for their text, so i assume I am waiting for the visa, I don't know if i am cleared on the verification stage.I hope there's no problem, since i haven't received any notice from them..I am just worried, coz' other candidates from the same department have their visa.
for ecopabillar , yes from india new HMC employess will be departing in small batches. there are batches on 11TH NOV and 18th Nov, i have requested for 18th nov batch.
well, if hmc says you're exempted from credential checks then maybe there will be no more credential checks.. i'm not sure... PDOS - Pre-Departure Orientation - done here in the Philippines. I guess, not all will be assigned to Al Wakra because I heard some will be deployed to other hospitals too.
i m joining Centre for healthcare improvement, which deptt r u in? i guess all these vacancies are for alwakra hospital, alwakra 14km from doha city centre.
I think they give visa faster to males compared to females. i am also a june 2012 candidate and i just received an email from unistaff that my visa is ready.
hmc will give papers for your school/prc/reference work - to fill out and confirm that you studied/got license/worked there. Congratulations... When did you have your medical and PDOS?
Just received an email from Unistaff that isa is Ready.... I hope everything will go smoothly!!! Thanks for the guidance eco, I'll be starting following those next week :)
Hello again.. unistaff called me today.. They asked me if I’m available anytime for my flight.. Still waiting for my plane ticket.. Anyways, I will be deployed in Qatar Heart Hospital.. Any feedback on that hospital?.. Thanks!..
Tinkerbellalive: which hospital will you be deployed?
Congratulations! I hope I can post the same in the next few days... :) As of now all I can say is that my documents are now cleared at the credentialing and I'm just waiting to be called for the Medical...
I'm a Biomedical Engineer hired by unistaff also last June 12, 2012.
I got a call from unistaff that my visa is already with them. I went for my medical last Sept. 20, 2012.
They told me that they sent my passport to the Qatar Embassy for Visa Stamping.
After 1 week they called me and told me that my passport with the visa stamp is already in POEA for OEC.
Today (Oct. 9, 2012) they called me and asking me to go to their office for the PDOS.
Tom. (Oct. 10, 2012) will be my PDOS. My colleagues (also Biomedical Engineers) already have their plane tickets; they will leave on Oct. 13, 2012.
I am hoping to leave sooner also (CROSSED FINGERS! :D). Patience is virtue..
I believe whining/complaining/getting angry/making endless calls to Ms. Marie will do us any good. Let's just wait for them to call us.
Holding our papers/visa/passports won't make them richer neither won't make them any happier, those papers will just stack up in their office. They are just following the right process so that it won't be a hassle for us when we go to Qatar.
Hello, i just arrived in Qatar almost a month ago and arrived here thru personal visit visa. I am not affiliated in any kind of agency and am looking for jobs just by walk in applications. I tried applying in Hamad hospital and they told me that i need a permanent visa. is there anyone that can help me convert my visa to a permanent one so i can apply in hamad? I would really like to work there. Thank u so much :)
I hope to see you there if ever I make it :) Is the accreditation of HMC making all people busy there? How long would the holiday this October would be?

We r waiting then. .

thank u
Thats an unpleasant initiation from HMC if they do so.
But anyhow, it might be their loss then not mine.
Thnx for input ec0o0 :)
Lol! Yeah they will surely test your patience. If the offer is better than hamad then you might think twice :)
Thank you ec0o0 for the valuable information. Your asnwer kinda gave me a laugh!
Testing my patience? If thats the situation , then they would better move on coz I am getting couple offers over!
We have moved at a better stage,negotiations has started since 4 weeks now. I was told since then "they are reviewing the offer letter"...
Very Weird!
1)What will be the amount are they offering for accommodating with family & without family?
-->for family you will be given annual tickets up to 3 kids. An unfurnished flat but you will be given a furniture allowance.
2)Is grade 113 considered as managerial post?
-->yes
3)Is there any difference between grade 113 & 114 in terms of job profile & salary as well?
Can you please reply the above queries at the earliest as you can manage to?
-->it depends on which unit will you be deployed. salary not much.
4)Apart from salary and benefits....Is there any Annual Bonus!!!
-->I dont know about this since I am also new. :)
Grade 113 is a Senior Managerial post. If I am not mistaken Doctors are given grade 113 also.
patience is virtue :) ..hamad will surely test your patience after passing the interview.. I myself waited for 6 long months before being deployed. some of my colleagues even waited for 18 LONG MONTHS or 1.5 YEAR after passing the interview.
salary is GOOD in terms of grade 113 and a lot of people in hamad are dreaming to be in that grade. :)
visit me in Bio-Engineering Heart Hospital as soon as you get here. :)
Yes, that is quite confusing
I have got a question to:
1)What will be the amount are they offering for accommodating with family & without family?
2)Is grade 113 considered as managerial post?
3)Is there any difference between grade 113 & 114 in terms of job profile & salary as well?

4)Apart from salary and benefits....Is there any Annual Bonus!!!
Help pls!
Is Grade 113133 "as noted in the document" considered a senior position?
What is the basic salary and other benefits entitled within this grade?
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Can anyone advise me on how to follow up with HMC about the status of an interview; held early July 2013?
I need to set my 6 months plans, educational and career wise.
Hmmm..Thanks in advance!
Hello guys..
I am Dental Surgeon. Can you people help me to find job in Hamad? I got my License done in Qatar. got 6 years working experience.
Thanks
Ec0o0:
Wouldnt be a bad boss at all.
hehehehehe:) It's just annoying when you have to put couple critical things (my next degree) on hold till u get to hear from HMC managemenet.
rosette22: ohhh my apologies.. I guess you will be one of the boss here.. :)
Waiting Game..
Its similar topic at UAE,
yet the season has starting warming up (business-wise) as well as vacations are over.
Hve been always told that things take time at Qatar..
Rosette22 the vacations have just finished dear.. you need to wait a bit....it takes time here in Qatar for processing things
well i wish if it could be a season for holidays ever..lol
I hve been interviewed for a senior managerial position/non clinical side.
Are the top management back frm vacations,summer break..etc? or is it still considered a season of holidays over
rosette22: Qatar Heart Hospital is fully operational.. In fact I am working there also.. hehe ..what is your position there?.. staff nurse?..
elbachir: In my experience.. HMC accommodation are very decent and nice.. They give us a Fully furnished flat (apartment) fully furnished means complete appliances, fridge, stove, bed, sofa, fully air-conditioned rooms etc. if you have a family you can bring them here (under your sponsorship through HMC) and HMC will give you a whole flat with 3 bedrooms and 3 toilet & bath.
I want to ask is there an official name of
"Heart Hospital" - HMC?
I was interviewed last June for a post there , yet online; no official news/releases are there from this hospital.
Might be still under construction?
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thank you ECOOO for the information.I hope you are doing well.In fact.I called HMC and they told me they are checking my document ...2 weeks they will contact me! so am witing .Plz ,I read a lot of comments about Acommodation issue and am a bit puzlled coz a lot of people say that HMC includes in the contract the term "acommodation provided " would please share with me your idea about the contrat issue.if possible ask for about the info of the grade of "Senior Medical customer representative " any info you get is well appreciated.

HMC processing is a little bit slow, sometimes it takes months others take a year to process unless its urgent.
its with every one waiting since june.
I have recieved my entry visa now i am waiting for my plane tkt as well.
how can one resign untill v have our plane tkt in our hand.
they are very slow in processing. i dont think christmas and new yr are big event in Qatar. Its only till bakraeid, now muharram is approaching.
this will continue.
my medical expires in jan. so plane tkt should come by end of this month.
have patience.
hi margarette08.. when did you sign your offer of employment?.. i'm still waiting for my plane ticket.. Did you already resign from your current job?.. i've been waiting for 5months already.. it's because of the holidays.. I think the ramadan and the eid holidays are like the christmas, new year & all saints day holidays in our calendar. i think it's almost 2 months of holidays on their side.. i called unistaff and they told me no one is answering to their emails from hamad.. i think working day starts today.. i wish they won't have a holiday hang over... =|
hi margaratte,
dont worry every thing will b ok. HMC people are very lazy and slow in process , this is what my frnd at hmc told.
b patient it will take time u r dealing with govt org, which works from 7-3 but (7-1) ..
Waiting is driving me crazy...When i asked for an update,Universal kept saying to wait for their text, so i assume I am waiting for the visa, I don't know if i am cleared on the verification stage.I hope there's no problem, since i haven't received any notice from them..I am just worried, coz' other candidates from the same department have their visa.
hi,
for ecopabillar , yes from india new HMC employess will be departing in small batches. there are batches on 11TH NOV and 18th Nov, i have requested for 18th nov batch.
Regards
data_analyst: hi you already have your plane ticket?.. you said you will leave on 18th nov. am i right?..
well, if hmc says you're exempted from credential checks then maybe there will be no more credential checks.. i'm not sure... PDOS - Pre-Departure Orientation - done here in the Philippines. I guess, not all will be assigned to Al Wakra because I heard some will be deployed to other hospitals too.
i m joining Centre for healthcare improvement, which deptt r u in? i guess all these vacancies are for alwakra hospital, alwakra 14km from doha city centre.
i m from india, medical happen some 10-15 days back, what is PDOS?
congrats , i have already got my visa now without any credential checks, so will it happen in qatar? or is it done before getting the visa.
I think they give visa faster to males compared to females. i am also a june 2012 candidate and i just received an email from unistaff that my visa is ready.
hmc will give papers for your school/prc/reference work - to fill out and confirm that you studied/got license/worked there. Congratulations... When did you have your medical and PDOS?

Hi everyone..are they deploying or releasing visa according to your department? I am also a hamad candidate,june 2012 and still waiting for visa.
Just received an email from Unistaff that isa is Ready.... I hope everything will go smoothly!!! Thanks for the guidance eco, I'll be starting following those next week :)
Hello again.. unistaff called me today.. They asked me if I’m available anytime for my flight.. Still waiting for my plane ticket.. Anyways, I will be deployed in Qatar Heart Hospital.. Any feedback on that hospital?.. Thanks!..
Tinkerbellalive: which hospital will you be deployed?
Tagal_na_sa_Doha: are you also a Biomed?..
Welcome to Doha. We will see you here.... You will really love the place and for sure, you will stay longer in Qatar...
Congratulations! I hope I can post the same in the next few days... :) As of now all I can say is that my documents are now cleared at the credentialing and I'm just waiting to be called for the Medical...
hello,
I'm a Biomedical Engineer hired by unistaff also last June 12, 2012.
I got a call from unistaff that my visa is already with them. I went for my medical last Sept. 20, 2012.
They told me that they sent my passport to the Qatar Embassy for Visa Stamping.
After 1 week they called me and told me that my passport with the visa stamp is already in POEA for OEC.
Today (Oct. 9, 2012) they called me and asking me to go to their office for the PDOS.
Tom. (Oct. 10, 2012) will be my PDOS. My colleagues (also Biomedical Engineers) already have their plane tickets; they will leave on Oct. 13, 2012.
I am hoping to leave sooner also (CROSSED FINGERS! :D). Patience is virtue..
I believe whining/complaining/getting angry/making endless calls to Ms. Marie will do us any good. Let's just wait for them to call us.
Holding our papers/visa/passports won't make them richer neither won't make them any happier, those papers will just stack up in their office. They are just following the right process so that it won't be a hassle for us when we go to Qatar.
Hello, i just arrived in Qatar almost a month ago and arrived here thru personal visit visa. I am not affiliated in any kind of agency and am looking for jobs just by walk in applications. I tried applying in Hamad hospital and they told me that i need a permanent visa. is there anyone that can help me convert my visa to a permanent one so i can apply in hamad? I would really like to work there. Thank u so much :)
I hope to see you there if ever I make it :) Is the accreditation of HMC making all people busy there? How long would the holiday this October would be?
