Preparation Comes First
# Make sure its official walk-in interview (No collecting cv or registration fees)
Most of Dubai’s fake recruitment agencies do that they post walk-in interview hiring and then they request a registration fee. So you have to be very clear about this before you waste your time.
Check the company details/interview date/exact location that match the original company/details of the post/any information mentioned about the fee. Get a call to the official company and inquire about the interview, make sense. Dubai’s legitimate open interviews are totally free. Walk away if someone requests a fee for the job without wasting your time.
Company Research
# Do you own research about the company that you’re attending (Company Background)
You don’t have to know everything about the company, sure web and find out what they sell, what the products and branches are in the UAE. Knowing this information matters in the interviews. It shows that you’re really interesting for the position.
Job Winning Resume

The perfect resume? not exist but limited to one or a maximum of two pages in detail(full name, verified mail, and UAE contact number/visa status/notice period, and relevant working experience summary in detail).

# Bring your documents and certificates.
What most people do is bring only one copy of the resume, and they get in trouble when other documents are required. Sometimes open interviews are diffrent than face to face interviews. Some companies require your passport copy/educational certificates/current visa documents/passport size photo with white background, and Emirates ID if available.
Note: Always keep extra resume copies with you.
Dress Code
The open interview dress code is the primary impression within the first 10 seconds.
For hospitality, the most suitable dress code is a white t-shirt, long sleeves or short sleeves with black pants and black shoes.for office jobs, business casual dress code matches, and for the rest, labour job interviews, a polo t-shirt or white shirt.

A goldilocks rule is arriving early before the interview starts.” The early birds catch the worm.” Be there early to the interview, at least 15 minutes can change things. Don’t be late more than 1 hour. The more you are late, the less opportunity. Attending early doesn’t necessarily make rush things. can register early and, without rushing, can attend the interview.
