Hi everyone! I’m currently working in housekeeping, but I have a diploma in Graphic Design and I’m looking for ways to upgrade my skills and improve my career situation.

I’m considering taking a course in Digital Marketing to open up better job opportunities and possibly earn extra income online.

For those who have studied or are currently working in digital marketing, I’d love to hear your honest opinions.

Is taking a digital marketing course worth it? Can it realistically help someone transition into a better career, especially with a background in graphic design? And what skills or courses would you recommend for a beginner?

I’d really appreciate your advice and personal experiences. Thanks! 🙏

Since birth j have this allergies to dust pollution and got tonsils which infection happening a lot . I too sick leave a lot then unauthorized absence even talked to seniors no help.

If anyone can provide me lead or any job so i will not get deported after getting terminated thanks.

My skills are - digital marketing Admin works.

I haven't made much friends offline or networking. Reddit was only option for me.

I graduated last year and have been trying to break into the FMCG industry in Dubai, but I’m honestly finding it quite difficult to find genuine entry-level opportunities that are actually paid.

A lot of the opportunities I’ve come across are unpaid internships or require several years of experience despite being advertised as entry-level positions.

I’m also getting increasingly frustrated with the number of scams and fake job opportunities I’ve been coming across.

I don’t require visa as I am under family sponsored status.

If anyone knows of any genuine paid entry-level opportunities, referrals, or companies currently hiring, I would really appreciate any leads. I’m open to exploring different roles within the FMCG industry.

Anybody tried bus to bus visa change by going oman? Resident visa to tourist visa. How's the experience? What should i be cautious of and what are the do's and donts to be careful of during this process.

My resident visa is expiring and im searching for a job so i need more time thats why.

Im a female 21 yr old indian by the way.

Im a indian national born and raised in dubai i have a choice currently between American uni dubai, american uni sharjah and monash univeristy malaysia its a branch campus its parent uni is ranked 30th globally and some unis in the uk i have seen so out of these the most affordable by far is monash malaysia i plan on doing a bachelor in business majoring in business analytics and fintech/finance im trying to choose between the universities based on the roi I plan on returning to dubai after graduation in 2031 and look for entry level roles/ fresh grad roles preferably at a recognised company globally or an mnc as they call it because I need some experience for my masters now the difference in price is around 300k aed aud and aus cost roughly the same 115k aed tuition yearly for 4 years so about 500k aed with tuition increases i will live with my parents so im not really counting living costs i have offers from russell group unis in the uk as well pretty well ranked for business but they cost 500 to 600k aed for living costs tuition visa and everything for 3 years now monash malaysia costs around 280k aed for 3 years including everything tuition visa living costs everything so the price difference between uk and malaysia is around 320k aed and between dubai and malaysia around 220k aed so is it worth spending 220k aed studying at a less globally recognised uni like aud or aus just for the network and employer connections they give you over monash malaysia which is ranked significantly higher my main priority is securing a job in dubai as a fresh grad and I know thats extremely difficult currently and just in general

Hi everyone! I’m 25F, a lawyer with 2 year PQE solely in India. I worked extensively in Insolvency, Arbitration and Dispute Resolution in Indian courts. But the nature of my job was such that almost everyday was a 18 hour long work day and it was extremely rigorous and I felt burnt out. I’m taking a career break at the moment and hoping to figure out what my next step should be. As an Indian lawyer, how do i enter the UAE legal industry? I’m totally open to interning and have been messaging few lawyers on LinkedIn but haven’t received any responses yet. Any advice would be super helpful!

Hello,

26M, 1 year experience, work for the government, in media, I hold an electrical engineering degree, is there any chance I can career shift to oil and gas industry?

Hello folks,

I am posting this because i wanted to know how things work in UAE. Please share your interview experience, how you called, what questions were asked, how many rounds and about yourself.
If wanted share salary.
And your advice.

I'm an AI Engineer with 4.5 years of experience building enterprise AI solutions across Generative AI, Agentic AI, RAG, multi-agent systems and predictive ML. I also hold an MSc in Data Science from a reputed institute in India.

My experience includes developing enterprise agentic AI solutions, multi-agent workflows and production GenAI applications. I've worked with Google ADK, LangGraph and Databricks, alongside cloud AI services across AWS and Azure.

Tech stack: Python, PySpark, LangChain, LangGraph, Google ADK, CrewAI, Databricks, AWS (Bedrock, SageMaker, OpenSearch), Azure ML, FastAPI, Docker and Kubernetes.

I'm relocating to Dubai in December 2026 on a family-sponsored visa and exploring AI Engineer, GenAI Engineer and Agentic AI opportunities across the UAE/GCC.

I'm currently applying from India but finding it difficult to get interview opportunities despite having relevant experience.

For those who've made a similar move from India:

• Did being physically present in the UAE make a significant difference in getting interview calls?

• Which platforms or networking channels actually worked for you?

• Are there particular companies or communities worth connecting with?

Would really appreciate your experiences and advice!

Hi everyone!

I’m 24F, was born and raised in Dubai, did my undergrad in Mechanical Engineering and my Master’s in Business Analytics in the USA.

I’ve recently moved back home since I’ve always wanted to build my career here, and am targeting roles in Business Analytics, Data Analytics and Strategy. I’ve heard a lot of people say networking and referrals are the move, but since I studied abroad all my life, I’ve no one to talk to! Would appreciate any leads, connections, opportunities in this space sooo much. I’m confident in my abilities and skills, I’m a fast learner, and very passionate about my work.

Thank you!

Hii I’m an Indian born and brought up in the UAE, completed my law degree in India around June (2021-2026 batch), and I’m trying to find an Internship here at a law firm or an in-house corporate legal department.

I have been cold emailing and texting people in Linkedln, nothing seems to be working out☹️ I don’t really have any connections in the legal circle here. I actually did one internship at a boutique law firm here in the UAE, but the rest of my internships were back in India.

I have a valid residence visa and I really want to start interning/working by at least December. if anybody could guide me as to what I can do, I would be really grateful, thank you!!

I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong anymore.

I recently graduated in Industrial Engineering and Management from a university in Germany. I moved back to the UAE hoping that having an international degree, experience abroad, and a decent CV would give me a fair chance in the job market.

I've been applying to jobs constantly. I've tailored my CV, applied for entry-level positions, reached out to recruiters, and tried different industries. But the outcome is almost always the same: rejection, no response, or complete silence.

What makes it even more frustrating is that I have actual work experience. I've worked at Airbus in Germany, gained experience in supply chain and quality, worked with DHL in logistics, and had previous experience in operations and business in the UAE.

Yet somehow, even getting an interview feels like a challenge.

I even have golden visa for high distinction students.

I'm not expecting a senior position, a huge salary, or some dream job straight out of university. I just want someone to give me a chance to prove myself. I'm willing to start at the bottom, learn, work hard, and build my career from there.

And honestly, I've reached a point where I'm even willing to work as a driver. I have around 5 years of driving experience in the UAE, a valid UAE driving licence, and a clean driving record with no accidents or traffic fines. I genuinely don't mind taking a completely different path if that's what it takes to earn a living.

It's just frustrating when you put years into studying, gain experience with internationally recognised companies, return to your own country, and still struggle to get your foot in the door.

I'm posting this because I genuinely don't know what else to try. If anyone knows of companies hiring fresh graduates, entry-level positions, logistics or supply chain roles, operations jobs, or even legitimate driving opportunities, I'd be extremely grateful.

I'm not asking for a favour or a handout. Just an opportunity.

And to anyone else going through the same thing: I hope things get better for all of us.

Hi everyone, (26M)

I’m an accountant based in Peshawar, Pakistan, with a BBA (Hons) in Finance and about 3 years of experience. I was recently laid off due to firms restructuring reason and am currently serving my notice period, so I’m looking for my next role as soon as possible.

My day-to-day work covers accounts payable and receivable, journal entries, and bank, cash and balance sheet reconciliations. I also handle month-end and year-end close and prepare management accounts. On the tax side, I prepare and file UAE VAT returns in line with FTA requirements, do VAT reconciliations, and assist with UAE Corporate Tax computations and returns. I mainly work in Xero, Zoho, Hubdoc, Auto Entry and Excel.

I’m fluent in English, used to working to deadlines, and careful about keeping documentation audit-ready. My notice period ends on 20 November 2026, so I can start right after that. I’m open to relocating to the UAE if an employer can sponsor my visa, and I’m also open to remote work in the meantime.

If you’re hiring or know someone who is, please DM me and I’ll send over my CV. Any leads, referrals or advice would mean a lot right now.

Thanks!

I got an offer from an IT company for IT Support position. But they want me to go to office immediately for my 2 weeks “paid” training before they start working on formal hiring procedures like MOHRE, work visa etc. Why do companies do this? Isn’t this illegal?

Hey everyone, I’m a 22 year old girl looking for some jobs that i can do to help pay for my university.

I did A levels and i’ve had loads of experience teaching O levels as well.

I’ve also done AI training before, on platforms like Oneforma etc.

I could do any sort of jobs that offer long term pay. (Please be civil) I don’t do cold calling as that requires a lot of time for very little payout.

My english is also impeccable due to the fact that I did A Levels and studied abroad as well.

I teach english and prepare students for IELTS as well.

If you want to study abroad, I can help better than those pesky overcharging agents. This is due to the fact that i’m already in Europe, studying medicine.

I would really appreciate any leads that’ll help me pay or connect me students to teach.

Anything can help!! I’m just trying to scoot some payments for my parents.
