Answer 1

Dear Friend,

You may ask them for a telephonic interview. If the company is a good one they will allot a time slot to you for the interview either by phone or by other media (depending on the organization.

Most of prestigious companies in UAE, recruiting top/middle managerial level positions by screening the CVs, then according to their previous/current employer, and some other criteria only, then they will do only telephonic interview, if required. If the direct personal interview is must, then they will provide the travel and other allowances for you (still depending on the company)...

Best of Luck

Thx

Surely call them up first find out if the interview can be held over the phone if not then time venue should be asked for then u have to travel there.Secondly if u do get the job be sure to find out about housing as its frightfully expensive all ur earnings might just go in paying there exorbitant rents

A phone call or web cam interview is not unheard of in Dubai. If the position offered is of middle to higher management level, most of the companies I know (including mine) either flies the employee in or we have a representative fly there or ask a third party consultant to do the interview for them. Either way, a decent company would mostly cover for the trip expense. Otherwise, if you do plan to go to Dubai for a leisurely trip and perhaps to get a feel of the environment, you can always arrange for yourself to go there.
