V Group is hiring full-time staff in Dubai for sales and warehouse work, and it is holding a walk-in interview at its V Perfumes head office.
Going to the walk-in interview
A walk-in means you turn up in person and talk to the team on the day, so you don’t wait for a phone call first. Print at least two copies of your updated CV and dress the way you would for an office job. Arrive a little early, because you may need to wait your turn.
Some employers ask you to fill in a short form on arrival, so bring a pen. Keep your documents in a folder so they don’t get bent in the bag.
- Two or three printed copies of your updated CV
- Your passport and Emirates ID, if you have them
Which roles are open
There are four openings: Sales Coordinator, Sales Executive, Warehouse Coordinator and Factory Assistant. The first two are sales jobs and the last two sit on the operations side.
A sales coordinator usually supports the sales team with daily admin work. A sales executive focuses more on building customer relationships and helping the team hit its targets. Duties can differ from one employer to another, so ask what a typical day looks like for the role you want.
If you have worked with stock or on a production floor, say so early. It matters for the warehouse and factory roles.
Who these jobs suit
The sales roles fit best if you have sales or customer-service experience, good communication and an easy way with people. Customer relationship management experience helps a lot. Handling difficult customers at a shop counter or call centre counts, so describe it clearly.
Don’t worry if your experience comes from a different industry. Retail, hotels and call centres build the same skills. Recruiters often look past the industry if the customer skills are clear on paper.

Preparing your CV
Keep it to two pages at most. List your most recent job first, and under each job give two or three results: targets you hit, customers you kept, stock you managed. Numbers make these points easier to trust.
Put the job title you’re applying for near the top. A hiring manager reading quickly should see the match within a few seconds.
Questions to ask on the day
Ask who you would report to, how sales targets are measured and what the first few months look like. Specific questions show you have thought about the job.
Keep your answers short and honest. If you have not done a certain task before, say so and explain how you learn quickly.
If you don’t hear back
Give it about a week, then call the head office or send a short, polite message asking where things stand. One follow-up is enough. More than that can work against you.
