Following up after an interview is key. In the UAE, sending a polite thank-you email within 24 hours is a professional gesture. Mention one or two points from the conversation to personalize your message and reinforce your interest in the role.
If you don’t hear back within the stated timeframe, a gentle follow-up email after a week is acceptable. Recruitment in the UAE can sometimes take longer, especially in government or large corporate sectors. Patience and persistence, with professional courtesy, go a long way.
