Most Gulf C-suite searches are retained. Are you ready?

Retained search in the UAE and Saudi Arabia works to a brief, not to speculative applications. That changes how you prepare: target the consultant who owns your sector, lead with evidence, and treat every conversation as a long-term market contact.

Read the full guide for the Gulf on our site for timelines, fee norms and a practical checklist you can use before your first call.

Which Gulf sector are you targeting this year? Tell us below and we’ll suggest which consultant type to approach first.

“I have twenty years in oil and gas” rarely ends the conversation when you move into a new industry.

An employer may value how you organised contractors and prepared a team, but it still needs to know you understand its product and process. Before applying, make two lists: what fits, and what you still need to learn.

What is on your second list?

Ever left a conference feeling INSPIRED but lacking specifics? 🎤

Here's a tip: Next time, bring ONE burning question. Jot down a key insight and WHO shared it. Later, reflect on how it impacts your field. 🌟

So, what's YOUR go-to question for the next event? Share below! 👇

Senior career support should start with the individual, not a template.

CV Made Better was founded in 2007 by professionals from executive search and selection, and that understanding still shapes how we support executives through their CV, positioning and interview preparation.

Our Executive Interview Coaching Pack takes the same approach, working from your own CV and the role you are actually targeting.

Your STAR answer does not need every detail, it needs the right ones, chosen deliberately before you walk into the room. 🎯

Ask yourself these four questions before your next competency-based interview:

1️⃣ What context does the interviewer genuinely need?
2️⃣ What was I personally responsible for?
3️⃣ Which decisions or actions were specifically mine?
4️⃣ What changed as a result?

If your Situation takes three minutes to explain, your strongest evidence may be buried before you even reach the Action, and by then the interviewer has already stopped listening for the part that matters most. This is one of the most common mistakes we see in senior interview preparation, and one of the easiest to fix once you notice it.

Save this as your quick prep checklist 📌, and tell us below: which STAR stage do you tend to spend too much time on?

There is a real difference between describing what your team achieved and showing what you personally contributed.

Saying "we delivered the transformation" tells the interviewer what happened. It does not tell them what you decided, influenced or led.

When you prepare your STAR answers, check the Action section closely. Could someone follow it and know exactly what you did, without asking?

What is your biggest challenge when discussing team wins without sounding like you are taking all the credit?

73% of B2B decision-makers trust evidence-led LinkedIn thought leadership more than marketing.

If you want thought leadership to shift commercial conversations, it must answer a narrow business question, cite evidence and feel independent rather than promotional. Two to three posts per week using a simple claim + evidence + question template sustains engagement without burning bandwidth.

Amplify selectively: seed early engagement, reply to substantive comments fast, then use Thought Leader Ads only on posts already performing organically and targeted at prior engagers.

Which of these would you prioritise first for your LinkedIn programme?

Two weeks to attract headhunters and board selectors on LinkedIn.

This playbook shows what to pin in Featured, how to rewrite a headline for search, and the realistic posting cadence that a busy exec can maintain.

Small, visible signals — sector language, governance phrasing and one high‑authority asset in Featured — are what make recruiters and board chairs notice you.

Which pillar will you pin to your Featured section this fortnight? Comment below or visit cvmadebetter.com for a professional LinkedIn review.
