<br />Dear DxB.Raf,
I am an ACCA Affiliate with 2 years of experience...one year in an unknown audit firm and one in a Platinum Approved bank in Pakistan. I am coming to Dubai on the 11th of October. I would like to know what sort of preparations should I do (such as research)beforehand. I would also like to know what form of job hunting should I adopt, like applying in newspapers, online applications, posting ads...etc.
Any help would be highly appreciated DxB.Raf!

Make sure you are in posession of VERY effective comunication skills. Be ready to talk about yourself, your skills, your future plans, your CV and the type of experience you have. Start being comfortable with making tall claims about your skills during interviews. Make sure you will never go quiet in an interview and your body language looks confident and relaxed. Go through some basic accoutnancy book knowledge like CAT level and outlines/summary of IFRS if possible.
Make sure you have a really nice CV. Personal information, Career objective, key strenghts, achievements, education and latest job information should cover the first page.
Apply online through job portals. No need to look in news papers or go to employers to drop your cv. Send as many cvs as you can on daily basis and wait for calls.
If you already have your UAE contact number on your cv, start applying 7 days before you fly.
