  • Have a great resume

We often get caught up in the idea of wanting to find a job, when in fact you will need to switch the narrative. That could happen as you include everything that makes you qualified for the job you need in your resume. Recruiters do not know you! The only bridge to connect who you really are and the job is your resume.

Have your resume, copies of UAE attested certificates, experience certificates and other documents sorted through and ready to send out.

  • Job Sites!

It is important to be on platforms that could connect you and recruiters, where you can apply for the job that fits you best, some websites that are prominent in the UAE are; Bayt, LinkedIn, Monster Gulf, Indeed and many others.

  • Create a LinkedIn profile

It is important to stay active on LinkedIn as not only you could apply for jobs but also connect to people that could benefit and help you. You can even contact recruiters and message them directly.

It is important to never give up and continue to grow your network!
