Yes Sir, I am on it now, prep is difficult because it's a competency based interview, so will be loads of scenario type stuff

Think of a few easy ones, think of a few tough ones and prep answers in your head for both. Relate the answers to previous scenarios that you have dealt with and bingo.

Also - know your own CV inside out (don't be surprised I say this, loads don't).

Thanks Scamp I appreciate the help, I'm a bit nervous but excited nervous, plus Mr Lanark will be v impressed if I arrive in Dubai on Wednesday am and get a job in the pm :p

Gone over the CV a bunch of times, thought of interesting points and have gone through the JD with a fine tooth comb and made notes regarding relevant experience etc, any other thoughts?
