Getting a job in Dubai
I've been actively searching for a job for the past four or five months now, with absolutely no success. Mostly been looking for receptionist positions, but I've tried a few other avenues as well.
I've heard that it's all about who you know in a company and unfortunately I don't know anybody who can help me out.
All the jobs postings I've found require so much experience within the UAE, but, having grown up in the UAE, how am I supposed to get any experience within a job when they all require past experience to get one in the first place? All the postings requiring no experience that have written back to me come off as dodgy, one of them even argued with me that I sent a fake picture along with my CV, posing as somebody.
I've been doing promo work for the past six years, but I want to settle down and get a regular source of income and start working towards a life and build experience and a possible career path. I'm young and polite and presentable. It's making me feel completely helpless and frustrated.
I've tried classifieds in newspapers, recruitment agencies, expat woman job listings, dubizzle, Gnad4u, etc...
Anybody out there in the same boat? or have been in the same boat and managed to transfer into a more successful and happier moreso-employed boat? Any tips? helpful websites/info? Anything that could help would be appreciated.
