Hello guys, it's Dubai boy again. Based on several requests and popular demand, I decided to make a video about tips to get jobs faster as a Nigerian in any foreign country.. particularly UAE (Dubai).
Firstly let me debunk the rumours that after the Hushpuppi saga, UAE stopped employing Nigerians. No, they still do.
However, I will be frank with you, being African and most especially Nigerian poses a disadvantage, and no it isn't racisim. Rather it is the results of the deeds several Nigerians are perputuating at these Arab countries. But Nigerians still get jobs everyday in Dubai, and I will tell you how they do it, and how I did it
So, here are the tips.
1) C.Vs are needed here. Some people think you can just come to Dubai and get employed to any blue collar job without CVs, but that's false. You need to write professional Cvs before you can get called for jobs, and since this is the first identity
Your CV should should be personalized according to the job you are applying for and should contain
A) Experience, Achievement, Education, and Experience! I mentioned Experience twice because it's the most important. In UAE, experience counts before certificate
B) People in these fields have a higher chance of getting employment fast - Finance, procurement, marketing, construction, I.T, hospitality, tourism and sales
2) Don't come around June, July or August, December, if your main intention is to look for jobs. You won't find! Why? These months represent the peak of summer in which many people go on vacation. There are usually lesser employment opportunities during this period
3) Make use of Job portals like indeed. They are a good resource for finding jobs easily at UAE. I listed some links under my YouTube video
4) Use of specific keywords in your CVs because sometimes companies scan the words to see eligible CVs. For example if you are applying for a sales or related position, use words like Target. You can always check the source for more information
As a result of expo 2020, more job opportunities now abound in the country, and I am sure if you try well enough, you will get one and come give testimony on Nairaland.
Thanks. Lalasti.clala interested in a snake rearing job in Dubai?
Dosvedanie: Doing fine depends on individual aspiration, desire and contentment.
I've experienced guys who resigned from their jobs (100k+ salary) in Naija and came to Dubai, but ended up going back home after 3 months of job search. Some settled for jobs with same pay cos of the stigma that comes with returning home.
I advise people to to always have a plan B.
I agree with you 100%
If anyone is earning up to 100k in Naija presently, don't look to Dubai, the reason is, In Dubai you have to start from small to big and the situation might be difficult compared to how you are presently earning 100k.
The question is, How many people earn 50k sef?
Before I left I was earning 13k, but today we thank God
About #3, I still believe smoking on the street in Sharjah isn't allowed.
Also, I don't know if alcohol drinking is only applicable to Fujairah alone. Because I know Dubai is mostly the only place you can drink alcohol without fine or jail. I also know that alcohol is illegal in Ajman, that's why I am asking if those things are allowed now in all the states or just Fujairah and Dubai?
Bro, u might be right, my info were mostly based on Dubai. Will find out about the Emirates you mentioned
Dosvedanie: Dubai……. I lived there for 3 years and no regrets.
Dubai used to be a place filled with opportunities, but things don change. To get a job now isn’t easy, though people still get.
If you have funds, being on your own residence visa is an advantage for you compared to being on a company’s visa ( depends on company). AVOID OVERSTAYING YOUR VISA.
Attest your result from Nigeria before travelling.
Least paid are cleaners/housekeepers/nannies within the range of #100k to #150k. Construction na die, though I see few Naija guys doing it.
There are too many fake agents who promise you job but they themselves are illegal without jobs. They survive on their victim’s money.
Finally, if u doing fine in Naija, don’t be fooled with sweet stories to abandon your livelihood for greener abi na desert pastures.
Your last paragraph is the main point, but how do you describe DOING FINE?
