Steps to take when you enter Dubai

Get a Local SIM Card: It's very important for you to have your Dubai number while applying for a job. Hiring managers will not entertain another numbers, as they want to hire the candidate available in Dubai.
Build a Job Winning Resume: In a competitive city like Dubai, your resume is the key to your success. Focus on displaying the skills you have. In today's time, hiring managers choose skills over education.

Where to Start?

Now, the most important thing is to start your job search. Below is the list of the most reliable Job Portals in UAE.

There are many more job portals in Dubai that we are not going to include for now. The portals listed above will land you to your desired interview.

Drop Your Resume to Company's Stores/Offices

When you apply through job portals, there is a high chance that your resume will get blocked by ATS software.

To avoid this, you have to physically drop your resume at the stores and offices of the company you want to apply job. By doing this, you are showing dedication as well as avoiding getting blocked without reaching the hiring team.

Walk through the Malls, Local Markets, and search for the addresses online. Visit them and ask if they accept resumes physically. Most of them do.

Prepare for the TELEPHONIC INTERVIEW

NEVER DO THESE MISTAKES:

Not able to attend the calls: Forget about getting the call back again if you missed the call for the interview. You need to keep your phone with you all the time.
Unprepared Telephone rounds: You have to memorize and rehearse your resume as if you are getting a product knowledge.

Here are a few things to keep in mind during Telephone Interview:
