QANTAS would be a great employer, however the move to Sydney and foregoing a Big 4 opportunity here at home doesn't seem like the right choice for me. I'll just apply to QANTAS after a few years in a Big 4 I think! |

The attrition rate is low because the jobs are very airline specific, with only two major airlines in Australia their skills are in low demand. This is not the case for IT though as skills are transferable, but it seems Qantas has outsourced most of it to Telstra, IBM, Tata etc. |

I wouldn't say it's extermely false, yes there may be demand overseas, but like I said there is only two major airlines in Australia, so if you want to stay in Australia you are pretty much stuck at Qantas. |

If your resume shows that you can't hold a job for more than a couple of years will find it more difficult. why...because they wont invest tens of thousands in your training only to find you hop from job to job!! |

OK just to clear a few things up based on what I know. Those mature people that a looking for long term career with Qantas will be more likely to be employed. there has been talks talks about offshoring IT jobs overseas, The psychometric test I did with Qantas was face-to-face with HR and managers, but it was a role for experienced professionals. Not sure how its done for grad roles. From what I have heard, Qantas doesn't have the most efficient grad program recruitment process (delay wise)... so unfortunately I guess we just have to sit tight and hope to hear from them soon! |

Well, I worked for Qantas IT for 6 years, until very recently. Yes, they have out-sourced a lot. yes, jobs remain for roles such as Business Analysts, Project Managers etc. But something in Qantas IT has died. It's not a very pleasant environment. |

I would advise you to think twice about how much of a "great employer" they really are. Yes, they used to be and in some ways still are. But I can tell you this for nothing, if you're ambitious, there are NO opportunities for career progression within Qantas IT. In other areas of the company it is possible to move around, be promoted etc. Not in IT. Not anymore. |

I hope QANTAS IT's grad placement is better than it was when I joined them in 1997. |

Does anybody have a phone number or email to contact Qantas regarding the progress of my application? I feel like I've looked everywhere - past emails, on their website, google search, but I can't seem to find anything. |

Try (02) 9691 3636 which is the Sydney head office and just ask them to put you through to HR. |
