I've got a job interview!!

Just wanted to have a little shout out really!

I got confirmation of a job interview for a job in Dubai! I'm so excited/nervous/scared!

Has anyone worked in Dubai before?

    Congrats on the interview and if you get the job don't forget your bucket and spade
  • If you really need the job and / or it is pots of money then ok but otherwise I'd avoid like the plague. You really need to hit expat forums and do your research because you need to know what to ask for. For basic reference, housing, flights, car, holidays, education are probably up there with salary. No point getting £20k a month if you have to pay £19k a month to rent a house is it ?

    I work in Dubai. I just hope you like stupidly HOT weather as the temperature will be creeping up now.

    This is true, although housing is included in the package :)

    Sounds good! Mind if I ask the company or job you will be doing? (I'm not after your job though lol)
