The Most Winning Interview Questions

“Prepare In Peace, Perform In Pressure”

In this article, Hire Me Gulfs proudly presents a list of frequently asked interview questions. Most people aren’t prepared for the questions, and once they get the interview seat, they get numb and stressed. But in this post, one by one, we are revealing the most common questions that every hiring manager will ask.

Do you have your own visa or require a company visa?

The major reason that they want to know about the visa type is that a visa costs money. According to the labour rules and company regulations, having a sponsor visa or a freelance visa is more profitable to the company than paying for an employment visa. So, that doesn’t mean you will get thew job just because of having a freelance visa or a sponsor visa.

Own visa or sponsor visa holders – I’m currently on a spouse/freelance visa(depending on your current visa type), which allows me to work with NOC (Non-Objection Letter) or without any visa preparation, I can join immediately.

Employment visa Expectations – I totally agree to work under the employment visa provided by the company.

What is your current salary expectation?

Here’s the tricky part. If you didn’t prepare for this, you have to accept a salary lower than you expect or reject it. You know your core values and skills, so here is the chance to demand them.

The most suitable answer for this question is like “my current company salary is (X) amount per month, which includes all allowances, accommodation/transportation, and medicals. After my research on the job market rate for this position with my (x) years of experience and skills, I’m looking for (Y) AED, a total package.But I am open to negotiate the depend on what your company provides.

Do you have a valid UAE Driving License?

The reason they ask depends on the position, and areas also matter in this question. Some areas, such as the metro-connected line, and if you didn’t drive, perhaps you can’t show up on time to work. That’s not the only reason; sometimes companies prefer a driving license during work time, as they have to move to different places and cities. So having a driving license is an extra point.

Simply, if you have a driving license, better mention it with the grade, or if you don’t have one, don’t hesitate to mention it.

During Ramadan season, how do you handle work?

The reason they might ask is because of the different working schedule during the whole month of Ramadan. They might wanna see the interest of that and how you fit yourself during Ramadan.

if your non muslim, it doesn’t work effectively much, but if your muslim, mention that you’re fasting like other an flexible for shift duties or split.

How do you communicate with workmates?

The winning answer for this is better; you say that you respect every culture and avoid sarcasm.

Are you comfortable for 2 years of contract?

This question is vital because most of the UAE companies are legally contracted for two years for the employee, except for freelance visa holders. But we would like to mention something which has been a critical issue after a candidate signs the contract for 2 years and leaves the company within 3 months without completing the probation period.

Answer: I have read the labour regulations and rules, plus 6 months of probation period, so I totally agree to work for a two-year company contract.

Why did you want to join with us?

Most of the candidates got rejected here because of the negative answers. Mentioning the previous company issues that reflect your character, and it might have a bad effect on you. You might have had issues of work in a previous employer but don’t reveal it. Instead, provide a positive and honest answer.

I’m about to finish my contract with my current employer, I love that work culture, and I gained skills there, yet I feel like I’m limited to expand myself for more growth. So I decided to find another opportunity to grow.
