UAE, DUBAI/SABIS TEACHING!!

Rachw444

I emailed them last night and they got back to me this morning saying I will hear a date for Dublin shortly 😊 so they must just have the Limerick ones organised first. Is it Dublin you are waiting on ? Yeah everyone is going to be in the same boat so making friends should be easy enough 😊

Where would most people like to be based. I'm thinking Sharjah myself?😀

Rachw444

I applied for English and social studies and put Dubai, khalifa City A and Sharjah down as my preferences 😊 I hope the interview isn't too bad now.

When was your interview meant to be for?:) mine was for the 11th in the raddison blu Dub 8?

They never sent me an original date just the email to say the date had been changed to ignore the first email. There was obviously some sort of miscommunication because they thought they had sent one to me. I've been told I will get a date for Dublin shortly though 😊 let me know when you get your new Dublin date please

Just got an email back there, they haven't done the Dublin dates yet, they must be just sorting the Limerick ones first and then getting back to everybody else

I'm currently in the process of sending off my application and video cv. In terms of interviews, are sabis only conducting interviews in Ireland? I live in England and feel that I might somewhat be disadvantaged if this is the case

Rachw444

What's everyone bringing to the interview with them? Do we have to get something done to our degrees first ? It mentions on the website getting documents attested or something has anyone done that? 😊

I just scanned mine and sent it in an email and they said that was fine! Same with my passport and criminal record but do need to bring the passport to the interview! I asked before do I need to have anything prepared before attending my interview? They replied with you don t have to have anything prepared for the face to face interview. So I'm guessing once you have gone through the general information sheets I & II and why intertested in teaching that kind of thing! I was gonna maybe bring a copy of my CV with me but I don't know what else? Anyone else have any idea?

Rachw444

Thanks for that. Yeah I'm sure if they wanted anything else they would have requested it when you asked before. I think once you have prepared the information and have a cv with you that should be enough? I hope so anyway 😅

Rachw444

I have mine Thursday the 10th March In Dublin too. Did ye get contracts or anything emailed to ye or just a date ?

lyons_92

I just got a date and time for the face to face interview! No contracts sent to me anyway! Did anyone get a contact sent to them?

Rachw444

Yeah my friend got his and they asked for it to be brought to the interview, I've emailed asking should we have received one aswell just incase we were meant to bring it but I didn't hear back yet.

lyons_92

Oh I've my interview tomorrow and nothing was sent to me and when I asked the first time I got notification about a face to face interview they said nothing needs to be prepared so I don't know now!!! Bit late for me but hopefully they get back to you!

Rachw444

Ok well it must not be needed immediately so. Good luck tomorrow 🍀

lyons_92

Hopefully not!!! See what happens tomorrow!! Thank you kinda nervous but I'm sure it'll be fine it's just the not knowing what to expect!! Hopefully it goes well!!!

Rachw444

Ah nerves are to be expected! I can't imagine it would be too different to the Skype interview. You will be fine let us know how it goes 😊

lyons_92

Sure will I'll be on at some stage tomorrow and let ye know what's to be expected!

Fudgey1994

Rachw444

No I didn't get one a friend of mine did though so i wasn't sure if we were supposed to have aswell. I was just checking in with others to make sure I didn't go without anything I needed.

figrolls123

Best of luck tomorrow! Yeah I got the contract sent to me.

Had my face to face there today and from what I saw, people going for primary teaching or whatever with education degrees had contracts with them. He said it is harder to get teaching licenses in UAE for people without a Bachelor's degree so if you're doing the general TEFL programme that's probably why. Interview was more like a chat, they just want to see if you have the right personality. Really grand, sound Australian man.
