Hello everyone,

Finding a job in Oman is no easy feat. From applying for a job all the way to job interviews, the etiquette can be different abroad. Specially job interviews, that can already be pretty daunting, can feel even worse when set in a whole new country. If you聮ve gone through a job interview in Oman before, how about giving a few tips to someone who might be preparing for one?

Do interviews usually take place in a formal or casual setting in Oman? Do you have any pointers for job interviews that take place over a lunch or dinner?

From application all the way to the job interview, what is essential to make an candidate stand out?

Culturally speaking, are there specific do聮s and don聮ts? What is the general take on bringing a parent on the job interview or a gift to the interviewer?

Can you tell us a little about your experience? What worked and what did not work for you?

How important is it to have a solid professional network prior to a job interview?

Please share your experience,

Priscilla

To be convincing to an employer you simply have to demonstrate creating value to the company's business.聽 Along with this several other factors shoud tie up like your integrity, attitude, communication style, knowledge, your attire and so much that it has to match their overall expectations..

Hello
It is so difficult to get job at Oman for expatriates female specially administration job,but for male it's ok no problems
If you read any job offer and you send your cv majority of company don't reply for women's request so they doesn't give chance for interview

I, Myself, always found this very pathetic in many ways, if fortunately you are being called for an interview there are a dozen reasons for not getting succeed, the element of personal liking disliking, nationality, language play their roles brutely, moreover, REFERENCE is the only key in up to 80% jobs opportunities.
