Evening!

I have been invited to attend an Interview for 1 of 12 positions in the Middle East, possibly Dubai. Now the interview is being held in Switzerland which is the Head Office for the EMEA Region. The jobs are open to anybody withing Europe, within certain crirteria.

The job is a Freight Forwarder (Shipping Clerk), I have all the necessary experience, but I would like to know what the work ethic is like in Dubai and the Middle East. I know it is a more professional approach. Hell, anything is more professional than the UK at the moment.

Anyhow, the upshot is, if I do got a position overseas it will a 2 yearly contract, with a possible residency at the end if all works out well. I just need to know a bit of gen regards Tax Free Salaries, Free Accomodation, Bank Accounts, Leasing or Buying a car, other Do's and Dont's - etc etc!

I will ask the majority of questions in the interview, but I don't want to go into as though I know next to nothing. Perhaps some of you could enlighten me.

Thanks for your help!!!
