This is why we state don't use your real name as your username, do not put your email address or phone number on here and do not arrange meet ups- apart from arranging to meet at one of our hosted events. This is also stated in the rules of the forum... * Members are requested not to post personal details of anyone, including their own, for example email addresses, real names, telephone numbers, real addresses, work location, PO Boxes, etc. Email addresses should not be posted for the additional reason that they are picked up by email collecting robots which collect them to be spammed or similar. * Please do not arrange meet ups through the information board. ExpatWoman.com organise many fabulous events for a wide range of interest groups every week. If you would like to meet a poster please arrange to meet them at one of our organised events- for safety reasons- the internet is an anonymous place and personal safety should always be taken into consideration. Thanks in advance for your understanding. EW Admin

Please read the rules of the board http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_forum_rules_8392.aspx Specifically When making comments about companies or organisations, it is understood that sometimes they may be critical and/or negative. If someone is asking for a recommendation there is no need to post who you don't recommend- post about who you do. Please be respectful. Don't make accusations that are personal, unsubstantiated, unfounded, inflammatory, or slanderous. They will be deleted. If you have a complaint or issue about or with a company or institution your first recourse should be to contact them directly and solve any issues that way. If you don't tell them about any issues that they have- how can they begin to fix them? And... If a thread is deleted, please resist the temptation to start a new one about the same subject or asking why the thread was deleted- they will just be deleted too. And... We are sometimes contacted by person, a poster or a company, who wish to have a particular thread removed for some reason - incorrect facts, damaging to them personally or professionally, personal situations they do not wish to be discussed publicly, too much information, original poster wants it removed etc. etc. and this is done, without entering into any debate on the board, as to why a particular thread has been removed. We do not differentiate between site sponsors and non-sponsors, posters and non-posters. We will delete any thread whenever requested by anyone. Thanks in advance for your understanding EW Admin

Hi There, At ExpatWoman we take animal welfare very seriously and support many of the charities, shelters and people who do fantastic work rehoming these poor animals. Unfortunately there are persons out there who are trying to sell animals that they shouldn't be and other unscrupulous dealings. As part of this we do perform random spot checks on animal for adoption adverts as part of our care of duty- where this one has unfortunately fallen through- after your very genuine answer the advert should have been approved not rejected and for this we apologise and have rebriefed the team on what kind of adverts to contact advertisers about- we will do a thorough retraining on this. We are very happy to approve the advert now if you want us too.... we can also put the pic and the advert on our Facebook and Twitter as well to get maximum exposure for this cute looking doggy!

Also here's some great tips from our how to make friends page as well... 1. Swap numbers- so many people meet someone that could have been best friends but didn't swap numbers! 2. You take the lead- sometimes people are just waiting for someone else to make the first move- so you take the plunge and organise something be it a simple supper or a shopping trip. 3. Say "Yes!" to invites- it might not be something you would usually go to but you just never know- you may enjoy it and meet new people- you can always make an excuse and leave if you don't like! 4. Google is your friend- if you're into something get googling- there's bound to be a group for it in Dubai! 5. If you are naturally shy plan some conversation starters before you go to somewhere new so you don't get lost for words. 6. Join in, sign up- find a group or club related to something you are into and make sure you go! 7. Come to one of our coffee mornings- they are such a fabulous spring board into social life! 8. Smile- you never know how you might cheer someone's day up! 9. Don't be afraid to admit you are lonely- most people are here are without friends and family- you are not alone in feeling like that. 10. Don't get disheartened if you get knocked back- those people weren't meant to be your friends- ever onwards! http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_discover_dubai_How_To_Make_Friends_In_Dubai_10421.aspx <em>edited by admin on 26/03/2013</em>

Hi All, There are new people all the time at every coffee morning so you won't be alone... Each one has a friendly hostess who is on hand to introduce you to the people there. There are always new people joining and people come and go. It's actually great to have a mix of old and new people as the amount of advice that can swapped is larger. If you’re nervous have some topics of conversation ready- ask people why they moved to Dubai, how long they’ve been here, for advice and tips they can pass on to you for settling in and you’ll soon find the conversation flowing. Be brave and admit you’re lonely or missing your friends and family- you’ll find so many people feel exactly the same! If you click with someone why don’t you suggest meeting up again or swapping numbers to keep in touch. You have to be proactive to start to grow your social circle. You can read all about out coffee mornings here and see comments from other ladies about them http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_things_to_do_ExpatWoman_Coffee_Mornings_Dubai_10517.aspx All of you on this thread could pick one coffee morning and arrange to meet there if that makes you feel more confident. We will let the hostess know which one you are coming to so she'll be expecting you as well :) HTH edited by admin on 26/03/2013 <em>edited by admin on 26/03/2013</em>

Dear Debbiech, You really should try using the CV Bank as they are specifically looking to fill temp and part time positions by women as well as full time permanent positions. Google online for CV writing tips and examples- there are loads out there. A lot of our meet ups are on a Metro line or reachable by taxi- or as the other ladies have said look for things in your community... search on Facebook to see if there's a page for your area, check the noticeboards in local supermarkets... see what you can discover.
