He later let me realized that it's not from the embassy but from the said company that's processing my employment visa.
According to him " They are saying we are too corropt and Africans are terminating there jobs for another after company had invested in there stay which make company to run to loss"
This is bad! We Africans are killing our reputation.
Austinekg: Dear Nairalanders, I need your honest advice, my junior colleague in the office is contemplating leaving his job to UAE to seek greener pasture. I have strongly advise him to work for more years to save enough fund and then look in the direction of Canada or other Europe countries. But he's just adamant. His net pay currently is over N152k but I'm suspecting he his being brainwashed heavily. He's a young man of just 27; just that he become a chartered accountant at an early age. I really don't know if he's making an assumption that he will get an accounting or finance role in UAE with his ICAN certificate. I pity for am, when he eye go clear, him go be like person wey one chance juju clear for him eyes. For those in UAE already, what do you guys think or have to say in this regards so that I can show him the response of those already there speaking with experience.
Regards, Awaiting everyone response.
Oga, inasmuch as ur colleague might b making a mistake, ur post made u sound as if u are jealous or envious of him. Just counsel him neutrally against embarking on job hunting in Dubai.
#150k salary is fair not to be abandoned to go and chase shadows.
steezyhere: Just got here too 4 days ago and I already regret coming. Definitely not as advertised if you’re a job seeker.
If you know of any vacancies though, I’m available
Oga, 4days and u are already regretting? Hmm... Nawa o! Did u go with hope of picking a job on ur first day of arrival? Or sleeping and waking in Burj Al'Arab and Burj Khalifa? If e easy, then everyone would have been in Dubai nah.
logon599: Bro my number is on my signature right. You should've chatted me up and let me show you my works rather than assuming. Do I need to have 2 heads to design it? I don't understand
People shaaaa...! Simple question; did u design that building?
A simple [/b]YES or NO[b] would do rather than this epistle of egoistic quote that ended up not answering d question!
The way people think and comment makes my head sick. Pls, when is it a crime to have sexual intercourse with one's wife? Who knows how many kids such intercourse will produce b4 engaging in it?
I'm waiting for answers 4rm all those commenting "you no cry out for help when u dey knack"
The only crime the poor man and his wife committed is being POOR! Such a pity.
Bross...are u ok? Your visa expires 23rd Feb and you want to start going on 14th Feb. You believe you'd get a job in Dubai within a week? Well, I love ur faith and wish u d best of luck. After all, i've never been to Dubai so who am i to discourage u?
adexyz91: Wow... I was able to read from page 1 to this point (no joke! most of my intended questions were answered along the line). My visa is out but just waiting to get a World Safety Organization HSE certification (hoping to use that to boost employment prospects. I studied electrical engineering, 1 year experience, but have teaching experience, 2years) I did last year. I hope to book ticket for Feb 14th (visa expires Feb 23rd, I hope that's safe?). With a lot that I have read on this platform (the discouraging and encouraging stories and comments but at this point, no going back right?!), I can say there's a lot to look out for in Dubai when I come job hunting. Can I begin to search for job tailoring my cv with the experiences that I have (I don't know how possible looking at not having address/phone number yet in the UAE) on the websites like naukrigolf, indeed etc)?
Cafisis: Page 160, the Jumeirah at Etihad Towers job post got me. I know many applied but the email will bounce back. Well I saw the post on 23rd December same day it will expire. To cut the gist short, the email address was a test too. Jumeirah don't want too many people crowded for the job, Only the smart or lucky ones were able to get the email right after many tries. The interview was yesterday 7th January. About 30 to 40 people were invited for the interview. At the end only 6 people were selected and offer letter issued to them. They all signed. Out of the 6 people, 5 are Male and 1 female. Out of the 5 Males 4 are Africans. Out of the 4 Africans 3 are Nigerians. Among the 3 Nigerians are 1 Yoruba, 1 Edo and 1 Igbo dude which is me.
I printed my resignation letter before I came back And this morning I resigned with one month notice.
