Qatar Airways

Hi there! I'm new and although I have gathered all the info I need from this fabulous forum I just wondered if there was anyone out there from Qatar Airways to help me please! I have (like many others) been waiting 15 weeks for a formal offer of employment and only receive the management approval emails. Do Qatar Airways recruit for positions that do not exist at the time of application?. Nothing was mentioned in my interview about a 4 month wait. Is this normal? I would love to work in Doha but at this rate may be forced to take another path! Any info would really help. Thank you x

I would say thats pretty normal as far as Qatar time goes....speaking from experience, I got my official offer in July last year and only received visa in mid December. It was mind-boggling to experience such record processing time.....but its a Qatar thing, you get used to it. Other than driving, theres not much sense of urgency here.

Many companies, at the moment, have their recruitment frozen.
