How to work in Dubai?

There are several ways to go abroad but I would be sharing how to come here and find a job.

Most people who came here have relatives to support them as they know more a lot the rules but for the readers who don't have and wish to try their opportunities here, the following information is beneficial for you.

To get visa, you can apply with the travel agencies here in UAE, you can go to Mardan travels and ask them to process your tourist visa. They will need a copy of your passport and AED 1000 to AED 1200 thats approximately 14,400 in peso. You must atleast 18 years old to guarantee the approval of your visa.

Once you have a visa, you can start applying for work even you're still at yoir home country. You can go to dubizzle.com and upload your cv then you can search vacancies for the job categories you have. If an employer have called you tell them you are just on vacation and will return in a week. Send as many cv as you can to reach more employer.

While you are arranging your itinerary from your home county to Dubai (dxb) you need atleast 20,000 pesos (AED 1500) to sustain yourself and provide rent for your accomodation. As much as possible, dont waste your time for pleasure once you have arrived because the tourist visa is only valid for 30days. You can enjoy after you have secured an offer letter. 

You can comment if you have any inquiries.

JOBS IN DUBAI 101

A few months back, I got a message from my childhood friend about him going abroad which it happens to be the same country where I was; Dubai.

He is really excited to migrate and start to work which is normal for first timers. I've seen constant post of him telling his excitement and happiness to be in a different country. I guess this is a normal disposition of human being, we are happy to celebrate events which would be a stepping stone into our dreams.

His visa is a tourist for a month, it means that he has a 30 days to look for a job. This is an old system of people travelling here. The country is open to all its visitors. The first 2 weeks was really hard, although his feeling is on the rush with positive vibes to get a stable job and great offer. The problem is there are too many fish on the sea willing to squeeze inside a can. The competition is undeniably the hardest, you need to have the basic skills which are acceptable communication and the angst to give growth to the company or else go back to your home country. A little harsh it might sound but its reality.

Most people wasn't able to make the requirements, they are unlucky to get job on the given short duration of time. Now, where do they go? They take the courage to stay in an isolated island like Qeshm and Kish, waiting for another month to get their second chance (an issued visa). 

This is the cycle of opportunities here, make it good and then you will get the job. Remember, if you are planning to go abroad for greener pasture. Do your very best to grab on to something you can hold on into. You need to be smart not usually by books but how you deal with people.

By the way, that childhood friend of mine my was able to get a job. He is now working in an hotel with a reputed company. I guess it pays to be hard-working and persistent. I told him that if you want sometimes you will continuously do whatever it takes to get that opportunity.

Most of the Human Resource Interviewers has specific factor or what we usually say a ‘check list’ for a candidate to be considered in a vacancy. Regardless of what position you are applying for you must imbibe the following skill set and behavior upon taking that scheduled interview you have committed to attend.

Communication is a medium to express ourselves. Imagine yourself applying for Customer Service Representative which most of your clients are foreigners then the only language you recognize is your native language back to you home country –this would be disaster. You need to practice speaking in a language known by many and that is International English. The communication skills vary in the aspects of Work Descriptions. There are Jobs which doesn’t require extensive knowledge of English like House Keeping, IT Skills, Graphics Designer but it will always be a plus factor. Having able to express oneself is enough to be considered on his/her dream job.
