Working in the UAE: How Different Is It?
On this same day last year, I was preparing to go home for my sister’s college graduation. I was already losing hope of finding a job here in the UAE. I arrived sometime September and started applying for jobs in October. I attended a number of interviews and was able to be in the final shortlist on some but still, I remained jobless. I honestly felt bobo that time. I mean hello, I’ve been working for more than 14 years and I think I have a pretty good set of credentials naman pero bakit hindi ako makakuha ng trabaho? Maybe I am under qualified? I tried applying to entry-level positions but then they told me I am over qualified. On positions that I am qualified on the other hand, hindi naman ako makalusot. Susmio, hindi ko malaman saan ako lulugar. So when I went home for a short vacation, I told myself I am going to enjoy. Because when I get back, I am yet to face again the fact that I am still jobles...
