Qatar Airways Open Day Interview Tips Part 2

I will be discussing the different tips that I have for each

and every step of the Qatar Airways Open Day process

you can definitely use the tips that I'll be giving in this video for your

interview for other airlines

I hope you enjoy this video!

You entered a room. There's a lot of people waiting in line

You are waiting in line literally standing up outside the

ball room area or outside the room where they conduct the interview

After you wait for about an hour or two hours on that line,

You are now finally able to get in the ball room or room.

First of all, Wait! Wait until the girl in front of you is finished

after she left the table

The recruiter will be writing. When the recruiter is ready,

You have to stand up. Things to remember:

Eye contact... Smile... Posture...

Even when you are waiting, You have to make sure you are in a good posture. Sit straight.

Pay attention, look at them (recruiter). It's okay to talk to your

colleagues here and then but when you're on that on the first line

when you are about to give your resume, you will be having all these nerves

cruising throughout your body, you will be having a nervous breakdown

try to keep it together, be cool. Breathe in... Breathe out.. Focus!

It is your time to shine. Now the recruiter is looking at you

You stand up, eye contact, smile and posture.

Bring in your resume and your pictures

Hand in your pictures and resume.

Shake the hand of the recruiter.

What I do, I think of something not everybody has told them already

especially if you have been waiting in line for a long time

What I would personally say is...

"Hi good morning, welcome to Cebu, Philippines!"

it's just a little bit of char! :D

I just want to stand out

The conversation will start flowing.

I would not know what kind of questions they will ask you on September 27.

What I can do is to give you the questions that they have asked me years back then.

What they would ask me is "What is your current job right now?"

"What do you know about Qatar Airways?" "Who is our CEO?"

"Why do you want to apply for Qatar Airways?"

These are the things that they ask.

Last time, They asked me "What is your current job?"

"I am currently working as a flight attendant in a domestic airline here in the Philippines."

The recruiter asked, "Oh, so you are already flying is a flight attendant,

why do you want to apply for Qatar Airways?"

The key is, if the recruiter would ask you about your current job

make sure that you sound positive and that you are just looking for a new

challenge in your life and sell yourself.

Sell yourself in the two minutes that you have

make sure that you practice what you will be saying on this time

when you practice, don't make yourself sound like robot

when I say practice, I mean practice sounding spontaneous

I wrote this in my blog about interview tips

You have to write your answers,

memorize it and then you practice how you would say it in a spontaneous manner

"I love working for my current company. They have given me experience, knowledge,

and skills about the industry. I believe that I am now ready for Qatar Airways

to benefit from the skills knowledge and experience that I have."

The key is make sure you sound positive and you are ready for a new challenge,

you have the skills, the knowledge, and the experience and their company will benefit from you.

I don't know how you will write it down in words but when you do read it

in a good way, very nice like you are a salesperson and the product you're

selling is yourself!

I'm sure that if you've gone through this first day

the eye contact, smile, posture and your memory script then

You will get a text that night and just be positive about it.

climb it!

You would have to register yourself and you will have a number,

a number that you have to put on your coat

Once you have the number

You will be seated in the room and they will play a video about Qatar Airways

Their history (Qatar Airways), the country's history and the company's history.

The recruiters will also introduce themselves and tell you

something about what you are going to do through the day

The key here is once you enter, make sure that you have the right posture again!

make sure that you have the right posture and whoever is speaking

put your eyes to the lady who is speaking

don't look at the other recruiter who is sitting on the other side

because the person who is sitting while the other one is standing

she is sitting and writing down her observations of each and every one of you.

you have your numbers here clearly visible and she can just easily write

your name on the failed list or on the name of the passed list

I don't know what they're doing but that is just how I imagined it

If ever they see you yawning, looking at another person while somebody is

talking in front, talking to your seat mate or whatsoever

looking at your phone, I think they will take note of that and you will not pass

that around even if they're just doing the introduction

The moment you enter the room, Think! You have to be aware that they are watching you.

Every move you're making. They're watching you.

make sure your phone is off

you focus on that day and it is going to be a long 30 minute video even though I personally,

have seen the video a thousand times

maybe 10 or nine or eight...

eight times...

anyways, I've seen a lot of times

I make sure that does not show, I make sure that they see me

it's still interested in this freaking boring video (just kidding)

My point is just make sure that you are paying attention to the video

when you enter the room,

there will be a pencil and a paper in front of you

it's a good idea to write down every year here and then just write something

down every now and then. If you are not really looking at the video make sure

that you act like you're looking at the video and putting down some notes

That's my very first tip because there will be two recruiters

one will be handling the class and the other one will be observing all of you just

like big brother

so make sure that you behave well

after the presentation, you will have to take an English exam and while

you are taking the English exam

all of you will be called by the number and all of you will have to go to the

back and do a reach test

You do a reach test and then after that they will ask you

"Do you have any scars, tattoos moles in your body?"

You will have to answer.

You may think if you have scar, "Oh no, I will not get the job anymore!"

The thing is, it doesn't matter if you have a scar, mole or tatoo

The way you would answer them,

the way that you would show them,

that it does not bother you.

You will feel you are self-conscious but don't let it show when they ask you this,

just smile and say "Oh, I have a beauty more here and here, here and here

and here and still be graceful about it.

don't say like...

"I have a scar here"... You get the idea it's just exaggerated

just make sure that your face doesn't frown,

doesn't show self-consciousness and all that stuff just still smile like a

beauty pageant girl

That's it for the moles and scar.

After all of you have done the reach tests and have taken the

exam, you will have to pass the exam and then all of you would have to go out of

the room and then you have to come back

that is after their deliberation, you have to come back

They will be announcing the numbers of the candidates who

made it through that round and a lot of times I got rejected on this round

because girl I'm so naive and I don't know what I was doing

first few times I applied

The group activities are different at many times

sometimes they would ask you to create something, they will give you

materials to create or sometimes they will give you a question and you

will have to come up with the answers as a group and sometimes it's not even groups

it's just pairs, two of you

what you have to do is introduce the other ones. Don't be competitive on this round

it's not the best recitation award

It's not the best talker wins type of thing

what you do to get through this round

make sure you show them that you are a team player, should listen to the

instructions and make sure you follow them some instructions are like:

"You will be given just two minutes to work with each other"

make sure that you time yourself for two minutes

They will also say "I know all of you have the same nationality, but this

is an assessment and we want you all to speak in English."

don't speak tag-lish, speak english!

Just speak English all right even if it's just a whisper.

speak English and when they say "Don't mind us, don't even

look at us, think as if we're not in the room and just work on the activity"

They mean it! Coz those times that I looked

at them, I can't help it. We were talking I just look at them because it's

so weird they're walking around our circle and just observing us,

every time that they saw me looking at them,

I'm out! I'm out of the next round.

make sure you don't look at the recruiters, follow the instructions

Focus on the task ahead

During the task, you have to talk because you also don't want to be just

sitting in the corner and not saying anything at all

What I learned is, you have to talk but not too much

You have to be polite at all times

do not talk over another person

do not cut them while they are talking. That's a sign that you're polite

when you are given a chance to talk, then you talk.

After you talk, you include others

"How about you Maria, what do you think?" That's a point for you.

You provide positive feedback to somebody. Somebody would suggest

"Oh! I would suggest that a flight attendant should be punctual."

You would say "That's a very good idea or that's a very good suggestion,

definitely we'll put that in the list." Something positive.

You tell it to the person something positive, you compliment them in the way

that they have provided some

solution to the problem. When you give your idea

after that you involve others. Got it? Three steps!

Those three steps will get you through the team assessment / group discussion

You have to remember in the final interview, they will be using

natural lighting in the room. You will be in a smaller room, there's a big

window and they will open the curtains, the natural light will come in

vcand they will see your face as if you are in the daylight

make sure that no scars are seen and it's properly concealed. That's the tip!

Forms or Qatar Airways application form is properly filled already

when I did this, I was out of time and I still have to

redo my pictures and I don't have that much time and I was so stressed

so I decided to make it on the day but then it was so quick. The interviewer is quick

I think it's just 15 min/person where it's supposed to be 30 min/person

that I wasn't able to properly fill the application form right

When you sit down, you'll be sitting down in front of two of them

just like you're talking to your girlfriend, because that's

what they want you to think or that's what they're actually doing

It's just like you're making "chika" so you'll sit down

you have to be relaxed but still in good posture

you have to sit properly

put your knees together and your other leg on the ankle of the other

I'll try to find a picture and show you in this video

I will show you somewhere here

your hand on top of the other

make sure that you have proper grooming as well

your makeup is done, your nails are good

and you have your smile on.

Your hair is in side part style.

Wear full makeup and studded earrings and your watch.

Your body language is very important.

When you speak or whenever you speak
