In our experience, employers invariably prefer candidates who are already resident in Iran. In exceptional cases where there is acute shortage of expertise in a specific area, such as accountants with ACCA qualification, employers may consider a candidate before he/she has physically relocated to Iran (assuming they are of Iranian nationality or have work permit for Iran), but these are extremely rare.In general, employers are unwilling to consider candidates resident overseas due to perceived high salary expectations as well as being unable to have a face-to-face interview with them.

You may find a description of the company advertising the vacancy at the end of each job posting. Also, you may get more information from the company website.Reviewing the company's information helps candidates perform more professionally in interviews.

In today's professional world, it is required that you contact the employer and inform him/her as soon as possible and try to set another date if possible.
