I applied in-person. I interviewed at Abu Dhabi Vocation Educational & Training Institute (ADVETI) (Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi) in May 2012
Interview
As expected- a mini teach - delivered to staff and the usual questions about why you want the job, classroom management, differentiation. Keen to know how you will use ICT in the classroom more so with the iPad.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Abu Dhabi Vocation Educational & Training Institute (ADVETI) (Dubai) in Nov 2020
Interview
My interview experience at the Manchester Hilton for a teaching position was both comprehensive and rigorous. The process began with a written test, where I demonstrated my knowledge and understanding of various teaching methodologies, learning theories, and best practices in education. The written assessment included multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and an essay question that allowed me to showcase my expertise.
After completing the written test, I was invited to a one-on-one interview with an Emirati academic. The interview focused on the technical aspects of teaching, and I had the opportunity to discuss my experience in lesson planning, classroom management, and assessment strategies. The interviewer also inquired about my familiarity with different teaching technologies and how I adapt my approach for students with diverse learning needs.
Throughout the interview, I emphasized my deep understanding of teaching principles and my ability to create engaging lesson plans that foster a positive learning environment. I also expressed my dedication to ongoing professional development and my eagerness to learn from colleagues and students alike.
Overall, the interview experience at the Manchester Hilton allowed me to showcase my teaching skills, knowledge, and passion for education. My strong performance in both the written test and the interview was a testament to my commitment to the field and my potential as an educator.

The process took 2 weeks.
Interview
Had a two phase interview, a written exam followed by a face to face interview. The exam seemed geared to assess how you ‘deal’ with behaviour problems within the classroom with an odd IELTS writing task 1 thrown in for good measure. The face to face portion of the interview was equally bizarre. I was asked to take them through my CV, I was asked about my students pass rate. They will not offer the option to ask questions, so be sure to speak up and ask what you want.
