Thanks a mill, Yeah I didn't think they'd bother emailing me to send on my CV if otherwise! What do I send in my first email ? My CV, my app form and do we have to scan passport photos or can it be a good head shot? And we submit these to the website as well? Sorry about the questions, Just want to make sure I do everything right
Fingers crossed! 0 -

They said to me an electronic passport pic but I just sent a good head shot!! I sent my c.v and a video c.v about 2mins long and my application again! Did they send u the link and pass word to there site? I'm the same I have everything ready for the next bit too already!! (My degree, copy of my passport and a letter from guards as it could take wks for guarda clearance to come throu!) fingers crossed is right!0 -

Hi,
All you send with your first email is your CV, your application form, a good head shot of yourself will be fine and if you have it, a copy of your degree. I didn't post it to their website, I just sent all my info to the person who emailed me.
Another item which they might look for is a CV video... All this is really is a 2 - 3 mins of a recording of yourself detailing your CV and what you like about Sabis and reason for your application.
If you don't send this to them now, they might get in contact with you regarding this and more than likely will let you know once they have interviewed you by phone!!
The very best of luck 0 -

First I send the application form to hr and then they replied asking me for c.v, video c.v, passport pic and application form. They sent me the link with a password to upload the video. Then told me there will be a telephone interview and following that they will need copy of passport, copy of degree and garda clearance.0 -

Cheers for that, I as getting a bit apprehensive when all I could see were people on this forum heading to Oman region and Sharjah! I'm sure there'll be plenty of irish there! How are you finding teaching in Dubai?0 -

Heard it's a really nice place anyway, and have been told nothing but good things about it! Always a positive sign I suppose
Hiya,
From what I hear there are a lot of Irish out there, and it is a lovely location. Do you know anyone else out there at the moment, or are going out there with you:):) 0 -

Heading out there on my own I'm afraid, but It's all part of it sure!
I know a lot of people that are in the UAE and they've all visited Muscat and they had nothing but good things to say. A lot of Irish people there anyway, good pub scene for the expats and everything is apparently fairly accessible. I think that the school is actually a bit outside Muscat city though, maybe 25 mins or so...which isn't TOO bad really! 0 -

Hey ! I just submitted all my stuff yesterday and got this email this morning
Thank you for sending us your application form, photograph, Cv and Video CV. Kindly keep posted for further communication regarding your application.
Has anyone else got this email?
Hi Sarah,
I got this email once I submitted everything like you did. Don't be worried about it because you will hear back regarding a face to face interview. You definitely should hear from HR in Sabis within two to three weeks, maybe even sooner.
Best of luck with your application 0 -

They sent me that on Saturday afternoon. From post other people have written on here earlier in the year it seems to be the standard email they send everyone prior to a phone interview.
I was the same when I was filling in the form, couldn't wait to get it done and sent and hear bk from them. Then it started to sink in and now I'm a bag of nerves about the interview and if I get it how fast the next 3 months will fly round!! Plus I'll be going on my own... My head is spinning about the whole thing at the mo!!0 -

Hey ladies. No doubt they will contact you asap regarding the phone interview. Just a heads up about the phone interview....have a copy of your application form with you as they tend to ask questions on this. Questions like "How do you deal with bold students?, What attributes you can bring to the organisation?", and general questions about how you deal with kids!!
Don't be stressing about the interview, its just a general chit chat 0 -

They will ask you questions about the Points system and also how you feel about the culture differences... You'll be fine

Ya can midder me away with all the questions you want!! Exciting but scary at the same time alright...heading over there on my own but hopefully there will be a few others who are in the same boat as me. The people I was chatting to at the face to face interviews were heading over to people they knew or were going with friends, so that made me a little apprehensive to be honest! But sure, once I get over there I'm sure it'll be grand!!
They asked me at the face to face interview to name three places where I wanted to be based. I hadn't a clue where I wanted to go or where the best places were. Sean Cooney was extremely friendly and told me about various areas.. In the end I chose Qatar, Oman and Abu Dhabi. Got Abu Dhabi so was pleased with that.
You heading over with friends or going solo? Will you be having face to face interviews now or do you think it'll be done on Skype?!?0 -

I'll be in ur boat too so, going alone. I think the first few wks will be the hardest trying to settle in, get a routine etc. hopefully this time next year we'll be the ones saying dont be worrying about going alone! I think either Abu Dhabi or Dubai. I've thought about other place but haven't really looked into anywhere (don't want to count my chickens!!)
I don't no what the story with the interviews are now this late in the year. I suppose the Skype interview might be easier but the face to face would be nice to to get to meet others heading over too!! Scared.com 0
