Sharing my recent experience with QP(Qatar Petroleum)
Hi all,
Just want to share with you my recent experience with QP(Qatar Petroleum).
I have just retuned from my 3 days trip to Doha for site interview with QP. I must admit, I was impressed with the whole process that QP carried out during my site interview. From airport pick up until the driver dropped me off back o the airport, the process was seamless and efficient. My 1st day, I did medical check which lasted only 2 hours. Then I headed to QP for HR interview, it was more like information session rather than interview! My second day, I had the technical interview, it was more like making sure I was the guy they talked to on phone during phone interview. It lasted about 2 hours, they were impressed and told me if I could start yesterday!
I am now waiting for my offer ☺ , I am excited and looking forward to moving to Qatar. I have worked in Saudi before but I think Qatar looks much better place to live! not sure about cost of living though it seems very high!
Update
Hi kimozi... I know i am late to comment to this post, but as i am waiting for my mobilization by Qp, could you please inform me why there was one month delay for your mobilization after getting visa? Did qp inform you by mail?
Hi folks, a quick update from my end, if you still remember my original post back 2 months ago.
Well, I got the offer from QP and have just resigned from my current company! Inshallah planning to be in Qatar beginning of June. I am looking forward to living in Qatar, the process has been long and it requires a lot of patient, for the benefit of others, below is my time line:
A. Applied for Job, Oct 2014
B. Telephone Interview, Dec 2014
C. Site Interview, Feb 2015
D. Job Offer, Mar 2015
E. Visa, April 2015 (took only 2 weeks!)
F. Mobilization, June 2015.
Thanks everyone for sharing info on Qatar and I am very exited to join in you all in Qatar ☺
Hi there! I am pretty sure, the way you expressed the whole process of your interview, you will get this position. Undoubtedly, the living cost is way to high in comparison to Saudi, yet I would say that much better life style from Saudi.... I have been in Saudi and I literally RAN...!!!Any ways.... Welcome to Qatar....!!! stay in touch...
Thanks all for your warm welcome :) I will keep you posted with the progress of my application
@wissam: Qatar is only gud provided u r employed with gud firm.....else jus slavery at its worst.....management try to pressurize employees with exit permit,,,,many companies prefer dogs rather than gud breed,,,,hope it wil change soon and employee wil b free to report non sense matters within company environment to any govt. Firm or lavour department....wtf
Glad hinge went ok. Qp are professional ppl!
Best of luck and I trust you won't regret it!
Note: qatar is way better than ksa for expats
