What should a UX designer know about CSS (for a job interview?

How much is the salary of a Filipina entry-level Junior Graphic Designer in Dubai UAE?

• I have no working experience that's why I'm going to look for a company who'll give me a chance. I'm confident with my technical skills and creativity when it comes to photoshop, illustrator, indesign, paintoolsai, flash, after effects and dreamweaver. Since I can't show you my portfolio that I'm currently finishing up which includes photomanipulation (simple retouch to extreme), illustrations, product design, page layout, all sort of print designs (logos,brochures,calling card, etc), short animations, digital painting (which is my number one favorite although I'm not an expert like on concept art games kind of level), video editing, web interface design, banner ad design, basic and essentials in html, css, and flash interactivity (that i have to be honest about is one of weakest point but I'll make sure to improve on some time). My website portfolio is under-construction so I can't show you as of now and I'm about to finish school on flash interactivity and after effects. In general, those are my skills but if I were to start myself into a junior graphic designer on an entry-level that focuses more on print media with a portfolio that looked as if all the time and effort was used to make it look outstanding and my confidence to back me up in the interview lol. It's just that I've been anxious crazy searching all over google for other people's answer but they all sounded iffy. I read 2000 - 6000 dhm, it all depends on the company but my question to people who have experience in dubai as a graphic artist filipino or not as long as in dubai uae, is what it most likely be my start-up salary if it was me applying for a graphic design position? For example, it could in the company your in now and sharing your personal experience as a starting designer is welcome. Forgot to mention I'll be going with a daughter's visa. Please give me some tips on how to apply for a job there based on my summarized resume so that, I would know what to expect and have a finalized idea to get ready on what I should do. Obviously, I'm too excited and anticipating what would be the fruit of my labor. Sorry for talking too much this just have been bothering me for days. Advance thank you for people who will take the time to help : D

• Answer:

  Your detailed question is very informative but one thing should always be in your mind. When you join a company or organization, do not make extra expectations from the company. Aim in your mind to focus on your quality work not on salary. If you have ability of good work then no doubt you can earn 6000 to 8000 Dhm.
