Preparing for an interview in Dubai or an
interview in gulf countries? This article is for

Every time you attend an interview, there are few
things an interviewer wish they could tellyou
but never gets the chance to say so! Here are few
things the interviewers really want toconvey to
you. Next time, you go for an interview, keep in
mind the below points, they wouldgreatly help
you to position yourself in a way the interviewer
likes you!
1) Be pleasing and likeable
Every interviewer wants their next hire to have a
pleasing personality. The candidate
needs to develop some sort of likenesses from
the interviewer. Smile, be social, be
warm, show corporate manners, be positive, sell
your candidature professionally - theseare some
things which would help you develop likeness of
the interviewer.
2) I want you to have content
Beyond everything else, an interviewer expects
you to have good knowledge about yourrespective
industry and subject. Make sure you are well
educated on the subject and onthe position you
are being interviewed for.
3) Make yourself unique and impress me
An interviewer interviews quite a few candidates
for the same position you are beinginterviewed
for. Try to make yourself unique and have a
unique selling point. Just asthey want you to
tell them why should they hire you, you need to
tell them why youlike this job and why you would
be a good fit.
4) Ask me questions - sensible ones
Interviewers expect you to ask questions. The
reason being, by asking questions, theywould be
able to judge your reasoning skills, your
interest in the position and howconstructively
you look at things. Give them a feeling you are
an innovator and creativethinker. If you could
distinguish yourself by your way of creative
thinking, you stand ahigher chance to get hired

Importantly, they expect you to be yourself. Be
original. If you have career gap, so manycareer
movements in a short time or lower CGPA, be
honest, give the real answer. If youare not sure
of something, admit it. More than you not knowing
the answer, they wouldlike your attitude to
admit shortcomings. Never argue with the
interviewer. Do notcover up things.
6) You should know the company and little bit
about myself
Never attend an interview without researching
about the company and the interviewer.They
expect you to have knowledge about the company,
nature of work, work culture,reputation etc. Ask
for the interviewers name when the interview is
set-up and look forhis profile in LinkedIn and
do a basic google search.
7) I want you to follow-up
An interviewer expects you to send them a
follow-up Thank You note. You could say itwas
great meeting him/her, appreciate for the
knowledge and insight shared with you.Express
gratitude for sparing time and how excited you
would be to work with them.
8) I want you to bring change
With every new hire, the interviewers like to
bring about positive change in the
company and the team. Be fresh on ideas,
generally and on your domain. Give the
interviewer a feeling that you would bring in
fresh ideas and innovation into the team.
