@hugochris.....................a forumite ask a similar question few weeks ago and this was my honest opinions/advise to him based on what l have seen in the UAE as a result of my wide interactions with different people, maybe you/your cousin and others can learn one or two things from it, l might as well call it a simple manual for those heading to the UAE to have at the back of their mind, it is on page 192 of this thread:



1. Arrive with enough cash minimum recommended/suggested on this forum is $2000 due to the extreme challenges you will deal with on arrival, the UAE is very expensive.

2. Prepare your CV in a simplified form, and enumerate all your skills,competencies, qualifications & experiences

3. Start submitting and posting them to different job portals in the UAE on or before arrival

4. liaise with sincere / honest Nigerians in the UAE on or before arrival

5. Dont come to the UAE with over the board expectations, that is dont expect when you arrive with your WAEC /NECO certificate you will be offered a job as a bank manager.

6. If you have a good job in Nigeria, don't just jump into the next available flight heading to the UAE and expect to get a fantastic job on arrival

7. If you desperately desire to leave Nigeria to work in the UAE,it is advisable you arrive during your vacation, scan around for jobs, compare/contrast and see if you can face all the competition and drama in the UAE.

8. As a fresh graduate from Nigeria with or without experience, be prepared to start with a low payed job.

9. Be prepared to face stiff competition in the UAE with the rest of the world.

10. Whatever qualifications you got from Nigeria, be prepared to see and compete with similar or better qualifications from different parts of the globe in the UAE.

11. If you are patient enough, you might climb your career ladder fast.

12. Dont arrive and be looking for white collar jobs alone, think outside the box, by this l mean don't arrive the UAE and expect to be employed immediately as a cashier, receptionist, administrative positions, accountant, Engineer, bank manager, customer service executive, medical professional etc, some of those jobs requires some kind of upgrading / bridging /new certifications obtained in the UAE to enable you stand a chance of been employed, again, most of the white collar jobs are also what Americans,Europeans,Asians, Middle Eastern countries are looking for, so it is damn competitive and it takes a big miracle to be considered for those positions, although, not impossible.

13. If you are business inclined and you are smart, you will break even within a short time in the UAE, so you can add business with your job.

14. Dont forget to network with the big and master of all networkers " GOD ALMIGHTY ""

This are my honest and personal opinions based on what l have seen here in the UAE.

Enjoy your day.


Notice: a quick addition to what l listed above, l recalled my Cameroonian friend, his cousin arrived a month ago as a qualified automobile engineer with years of experience, the summary of what happened to him,was that of all the companies that tested him,none was ready to pay him more than between 2,500 to 3,000 AED,he was looking for something better,but, as l write today, he is back to his home country, his visa expired after 60days search for a fantastic job.
