For UAE recruiters, it’s absolutely vital that a recruiter knows the exact amount of experience that a candidate has. You need to include the months that you started and finished that position on your CV. Most positions will require that you have a minimum amount of experience, so exact dates are so important. Similarly, if there are any gaps in a candidate’s professional history, it’s very helpful if these are explained on their CV. Similar to having specific work dates listed on a CV, it’s just as important for candidates to specify whether or not their previous work experience was achieved on a full-time or a part-time basis.
You should know that things that don’t really make any difference on a CV in other parts of the world make a huge difference when applying for a job in the UAE. When applying for a job in the UAE you must include your contact details on your CV-it's important to include international codes in phone numbers.
UAE recruiters need to know what countries you have worked in previously, specifically a candidate’s most recent company, so listing the city and country in which you have worked is crucial.
It's preferable to lists your visa status on the CV ,it makes the job of a recruiter so much easier. In Dubai, for instance, getting a work permit is usually dependent on an offer of employment for up to three years.
