Job offer *stallled* - or am I being taken for a ride?

I am not sure, but I dont think you need to worry, such quotas are usually made for us (poor people coming from third world countries)....westrnes are always welcomed in this country for any position and at any time, they consider their existance a sign of modernisation and progress.....wish you all the best...

Hi Andcat,

Cheers for the update. I had the impression the people in Sydney were being up front but at the same time I have wondered if I should just forget about this application and move on. I was told there was more work to be done in HR - so it sounds as though I should be patient.

Do you mind me asking what your impression of the hospital and the working environment? Bear in mind I have applied for a one of the senior IT positions and that Dept. may operate differently to other departments.

Cheers

Hi rockwallaby,

After 6 weeks of work at the hospital, my impression so far is that it is and will be a great place to work. The staff are friendly, the facilities (although all of which are not plugged in yet!) are excellent and the hospital will be a world class facility once it opens next year. I cannot speak about the workings of the IT department as I don't work in that area, only to say that the guys that are working there now are very professional and always very helpful.

Hope this helps and good luck!

You at least got through the process !
I am a Sport Medecine Doctor, from France and could not even got a way to contact anybody there.
I had a bad experience with some fake website, in which i posted my resume added to the fact that sometime they just delete the mail without really reading it that I wonder if you could help to guide me to this hospital HR Dpt.

Any hint, help would be appreciated

Merry christmas and happy new year

Hi all
I was told about the abovementioned comments about the American who was sent home but spent 4 months in IT.
What a crock! I work at QOSMH and I am in HR and there has NEVER been anyone in the role of Infrastructure Manager. We have not sent anyone home to the US or any other country for that matter. All of our staff are still on board and nobody has been fired or had their contract broken.
So, wherever you get your information, it is of very very poor quality.
Let me assure you all that our hospital is a world class facility run by world class professionals.
Get off the rumour mill and do something better with your time. If you are going to repeat a story - best for your reputation that you make sure it is correct.

Hi canuk,

I tried many times www.qosmc.com then there is only 3 options: about us/ services/ contact with only a telephone number.

Did i miss something ?

Thanks

Tarik

Great to hear some positive comments. From what I had heard from other sources the place is very good and the potential is enormous.

As mentioned before, the fact I now seemed to be on the outer because of the ratio of nationalities employed is quite a disappointment. I had applied for both client services manager and infrastructure manager.

By the way - got a good payroll and hr system happening? I am the technical manager for Frontier Software here in South Australia. That is a bit of a joke really; I am not pushing the product - I seem to be dealing with a few hr and payroll managers since I have been in this position and it is unique to talk to one about a new job instead of providing technical support.

Cheers

I've just got a job there & I'm Australian (coming from Bahrain - don't know if that makes a difference). My visa took about 2 weeks.
However - I had to wait about 3 months before my employers made the decision. I have heard that quick decision making is not a Qatari virtue.
My feedback for what its worth is that visas for Pakistanis and Indians are difficult to get because their quotas are near full but that for westerners its comparatively easy.

Tarik,

Sorry, I don't know how to help you, short of soming to your house and clicking on the links myself. look at the website, in the top right hand side, there is a link for jobs!

i have tried it!!!!!!!!!! Several times! in fact!!!!!! There is ABSOLUTELY. DEFINATELY a jobs link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, re-read my post. got to the TOP RIGHT Corner of the screen, right above the CONTACTS box. At the very top, you will see Qatar orthopaedic and Sports medicine Hospital as Title, go a little to the right and you see the word Home and just to the right of that you see a word Jobs. click on the jobs and you get a listing of positions (although I am not sure if it is updated) and you can find a contact for HR there.

that said, if you have already applied and been in cotact, there isn't much information otehrwise as of yet.

Thanks Jolene, Canuk and Bardu

From your respective comments, the only logical story is that this link was existing but was removed at one point for some good reason....or a software imcompatibility :-))

Being open minded, i tried again this morning and no way to get to any HR link, like Jolene ..
Canuk, since you can enter there, would please send me the full link that you have on your browser adress like here http://www.qatarlivi...

Other way, If somebody is working there (seems some are a lot on this forum in which a HR), could he kindly ask the HR Dpt on how to apply when there is no website link?

Thanks all

The 20% quota on Australians has been lifted.
Try your agents again.
How do I know?
I just signed a contract for the hospital yesterday and I am an Aussie (was also informed by the COO the quota has been lifted).

Hi All,

I don't have a great experience with QOSMC either. I was contacted by an agent after he viewed my CV on Monster Jobs. He made me aware of a CSSD Managers position, for which I am fully Qualified. He contacted the employers who agreed to call me on Thursday Morning..... They did call, but only to tell me this position was no longer vacant!!!!! Gob Smacked.

If anyone knows of any similar jobs, please let me know.

Cheers

Sorry Gary but for some jobs the competition is fierce I heard they grabbed an outstanding expatriate person from Saudi for that CSSD manager job. Just bad luck. I know they are moving fast to fill all the pre-opening positions.

The main vacancies I know are left in the sports Hospital are in IT, Nursing (theaters), resident doctors, ward clerks and receptionists, catering staff ( waitresses through to cooks and valets), finance staff, male physios. I saw this in their in house newsletter so its reliable.

Oakspan,

You seem to be contradicting yourself............

You may want to clarify in your last postthat you were quoting someone else reagdring - "The Hospital has the potential to be World class, but suffers from its relationship with Aspirezone, which is a complete and utter shambles. Aspirezone effectively controls key QOSMH decisions, and incapacity to make rational reasonable decisions for themselves, unfortunately affects QOSMH. There was an IT/Infrastructure Manager in that position until recently. He lasted only 4 months, and was sent back to the USA. Be wary, be very wary!"

At first read, it looked like this is what you were saying. I actually thought you were some coward, changing your name from deoscientiaque and posting the same misinformation I read previously. Only on re-reading your post did I realize you were quoting deoscientiaque.
