"From day one, when I saw the training facility during my induction programme and realised how much of an effort was put into it, I knew I wanted to be a trainer."

Rana Ismail joined the Al Tayer Group in October 2005 as a sales person for Jimmy Choo. She moved to a training role in 2007 and has since become a key member of the team. Her responsibilities include the induction and oriention of new employees into the company.

" I come from a conservative Egyptian family and after much persuasion my parents allowed me to go for the Al Tayer Group interview. When I did get the sales job my mother had to be convinced by the recruiters to allow me to take up the job. So finally after some struggle I came to work in Dubai from Cairo.

From day one, when I saw the training facility during my induction programme and realised how much of an effort was put into it, I knew I wanted to be a trainer.

After a year and a half, the vacancy for a trainer arose and I applied for that position. We were interviewed and had to make a presentation. I had researched a lot about presentations on the internet which helped me succeed in making a good presentation. It was better than that was expected of me and so I got the job. "
