Read the job description and note the technical engineering requirements expected to be performed by you if you are offered that position.

If you think that you will be able to perform those jobs and electrical engineering duties then you should revise your electrical engineering experiences and knowledge to prepare for that job responsibilities.

In Dubai you must know that there are jobs related to high rise building engineering design and electrical maintenance ,road way and bridges lighting design and maintenance, Standby generation and power distribution and oil and gas related electrical  supply and power distribution systems, commercial buildings electrical maintenance.

So depending on the job you are looking or applying and the experience you already have you will prepare for your interviews in the field of electrical engineering.

Do not forget to revise and review the basic fundamental principles and Calculations involved in electrical engineering like voltage drop calculations, electrical load calculations, cable and wire size calculations

Lumens and Lux calculations for the lighting, electrical system grounding principals and grounding conductor size calculations. BSS and or NEC and IEEE standards and procedures, NERC and FERC requirements and regulations if possible and required by the job you are looking for.

 

 

Best of luck

Basicly There are three things to take into consideration for this question and they are:

1. Read the national and international standards related to electrical engineering located in middle east countries.

2. Read the profile, targets and goals of the company.

3. Understand and being objetive to answer technical questions related to work under deadlines and into an environment with different cultures.

If you are willing to work for that organisation, it is better to skim the knowledge from basic level of engineering concepts to higher level of concepts, which will enhance your career.

Self confidence

Safety first in electricity

  He talked about previous experience I went through the things entirely positive

He met with former engineers and took the general idea about the nature of work

Honestly, I am not an Electrical Engineer but a Chemical Engineer. Anyways, 

Anyways, every engineer should know the basic concepts of its engineering. Then, go out for interview  with having a faith on God.

Well for it is not a particular step or sentence that guarantees you the job , anyone who is going to make a decision to hire you or not to hire you will take a holistic view rather than trying to reduce the whole experience into a sentence or couple of words.For me there are certain competencies that are extremely critical to be evaluated such as adaptability and flexibility , attitude towards change , respect for diversity and leadership ability.
