All the following tips are based on true stories, things to avoid doing when applying for a job
Tip #1
When you walk in, and a gentleman( wallahy konet labes formal ) stands up and introduces himself:"Ammar Ibrahim", don't say "3ala rasy, meet wardeh 7abeeby"
Tip #2
Don't mention that you are part of a dabkeh group, and that this is your ambition in life if you're applying for an entry level programmer. Not that only, but never say things like "Wallahy il shabab ma betgasser iza 3endak fara7 aw ishy"
Tip #3
If you designed a website for a friend of yours to impress his girlfreind; a website that has pink background, damar music, flowers & cheesy arabic poems. Please don't use that as a PORTFOLIO! And don't pull out the CD from your pocket as if it was some illegal drug.
*I actually have a copy of what this dude showed me* I'm willing to sell it for $1000, it's worth every penny. I will guarantee you will laugh like you've never laughed before.
