Re: Resume or Interview Help..
Hi DMD,
Dubai style CV would be as follows:
Focus your CV around international experience and large companies that you have worked for.
Keep it to a max three page CV
Hiring managers like to read details on the CV .. so its important you use keywords that will catch their attention. Basically you need to bear in mind that in Dubai the recruiters are more sales people then technical recruiters who understand the intricacies of the role they are recruiting for .. so to get through the ones who dont understand technical terminology you need to use keywords so they can match CV with role easily .
I think thats about it , the key tips … Dubai is a very simple market , nothing complicated about them much unlike European and US markets … all you need is to be able to get through the recruiters who arent very smart like i mentioned above. but at the same time the hiring managers are strong people who understand what they are looking for .. so your resume should be somewhere in the middle , which caters to both the parties …
second para is pretty damn accurate - for the UAE market not many people have summed things up so succinctly … so take heed people !! Or those that still want to go to the jobs desert called dubai!
