09 Reasons Cause Of Failure To Not Find Job In UAE

1)    Wrong time to choose to visit Dubai.

Visitors’ main cause of failure to find a job in Dubai is the wrong time to choose to visit UAE. Especially in the month of Ramadan (Eid Al Fitr),  Eid Al Adha, and December (Christmas/New year). Because during these months (events) hiring process is almost no longer active. The best time for job hunting in Dubai is other than these events months like February, March, April, September, October, and November.

2)    Wrong decision of visit visa stay duration.

Once you decide on the traveling months, the second mistake visitors make is the wrong decision on the duration of stay on a visit visa in Dubai. Some visitors do not research the Dubai market and blindly get a visit visa only for one month. This is a most common and big mistake they make because at least they need a long-term visa for 03 months because one month they will spend just understanding the locations, city, and market behavior. It's highly recommended to get a minimum 03 months visit visa.

3)    Preparation of documents before traveling.

The 3rd mistake visitors make after getting a visa. They do not prepare the proper documents as per their experience and field. You must bring all original documents with you even if these are your educational degrees, certificate, or experience letters from your previous companies. Might be possible in any interview HR can demand these documents and of course, you don’t want to lose this job only because of your document not with you.

4)    Jobs in Dubai without experience, Degree, and Skills.

The 4th mistake job seekers make is they visit Dubai without experience, skills, and degrees. Without knowing the demand of the international market, they come with zero experience or skills, and without any professional degree, in resulting they give up in a very short period. Do not underestimate the competition in the international market, especially in Dubai. All over the world job seeker visit the UAE with a high-profile background, because Dubai is one of the best and highest opportunity hubs in the world.

5)  Your (CV / Resume) is the main key to helping you to find the easiest way how to get a job in Dubai.

The 5th and biggest blunder that visitors make unfocused boring CV / Resume. CV is the first key to opening the door for an interview. 50% of your success depends on your CV / Resume if your CV format is not perfect and attractive then 95% are sure that HR will refuse your CV / Resume without reviewing what you mention on it. 

What is a perfect CV? is a long chapter for discussion which will be covered in our next article with a complete guide on how to make a perfect CV / Resume which forces HR to give a call for an interview.

6)    Focusing only apply for jobs online

The 6th worst mistake most job hunters do is depending only on one source for apply jobs which is Apply CV Online. That is a totally wrong way as per our observation depends only on a single source, which means you are hunting only 5-8 sites and sending your CVs on daily bases, and waiting for an interview call. After 1-2 weeks you got nothing and give up and start blaming websites and your destiny that is wrong you did not try to find why nobody contacted you for an interview maybe this is your fault you are applying for a wrong vacant position which is not matching with your CV / Resume or maybe your CV has not perfect format again, it refers to point no. 5 focuses on your CV format and content only this reason generate the question in your mind that “why I am not getting interviews for jobs”

7)  Drop Off CV/Resume in The Hands Of HR VS. Sending by Email

The 7th reason why visitors fail to find a job? is not dropping off the CVS in the Hand of HR instead of sending it by email. Sometimes job seekers thoughts that both ways of sending a CV are similar but the truth is else. Job advertisement generates hundreds of CVs per day by email it is difficult to sort out for HR or CV screening software to select your CV for review.

 You must drop off your CV by a physical visit to the HR office its more power full way because it increases the chances of getting a job in Dubai on a visit visa once you are available physically in the same place you have the opportunity to introduce yourself in front of recruiting manager and might be possible he keep your CV for finalizing it later after recruiting the online CVs and maybe the same time he makes your interview and hires you to save his time while recruiting online CVs/resumes. Also, this method differentiates you from other candidates who are applying online.

8)    Do not underestimate the power of social media.

The 8th common mistake job seeker make is ignoring social media and underestimating its power of networking. How important it is for job seekers you can't imagine. In the current century all over the world are connected through social media and people are sharing information only because of social media medium.

It is true according to research 92% of recruiting companies are connected with social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and other networking sites. We recommend creating a strong profile on a powerful weapon to search for jobs on LinkedIn and Facebook. Mention everything related to your education, experience, and knowledge, and join the groups, jobs & careers-related active pages.
