FAQ
Who does ASTUDIO hire?
People who can hold a luxury brief end to end: strategists, creatives, social and digital specialists, producers, photographers, film makers, developers and account people. ASTUDIO has worked from Dubai since 2006 with global and Gulf brands, so we hire for judgement, craft and the discipline to deliver work a global client signs off.
What should I prepare before I apply?
The application is one form on this page. Have ready your CV as PDF or Word under 5 MB, a recent photograph under 2 MB, your LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok links, your portfolio, the position you are applying for, your languages spoken and written, your education, the industries you have worked in and your earliest joining date.
What do you expect in the "Why do you want to join ASTUDIO" answer?
A few honest sentences in your own words: the kind of work you want to do here, one piece of ASTUDIO work that made you apply and why, and what you bring that a global fragrance, fashion or jewellery brand would notice. Specific beats long; we read every answer.
Does my portfolio matter more than my CV?
For creative, production, social and digital roles, yes. Show finished work with your exact role on each piece, and keep your Instagram and TikTok links current if they carry your work. For strategy, account and development roles the CV and LinkedIn carry more weight, and a short case of a problem you solved helps.
Which position should I choose if none fits?
Choose the closest position; the field is required so every application reaches the right reviewer. Name the role you really want in the “Why do you want to join ASTUDIO” answer, and tell us whether you are applying as full time, part time or freelance in the employment type field.
What happens after I apply?
Every application is read and rated, so a strong, specific application gets noticed. Shortlisted candidates receive a two-part Strength Assessment to complete within two days, then a short call and a Practical Assessment with three to five days to show real work. Pass those and you meet the hiring manager and ASTUDIO’s founder, then references, documents and your offer.
Will I hear back about my application or assessment?
Every application and every assessment is read in full. Because of the volume we receive, we are not able to give individual feedback on each application or test; if your profile matches, you hear from us about the next step by email and WhatsApp. So give your application and your assessment your best thinking the first time.
