In 2014, I came to Dubai on a visit visa. Everything was new—I had no idea about LinkedIn or job-hunting platforms. I applied for every possible job, but failed many times.
Eventually, I managed to land my first job in Dubai. Not because I had a clear strategy, but simply because I was lucky. Over time, I realized there are lessons every job seeker should know:
1️⃣ Companies don’t hire out of charity
They don’t give jobs just because someone is in need. They hire because they need someone skilled. So the real question is: when we approach a hiring manager, are we showing how our skills align with their requirements, or just saying we need a job?
2️⃣ Skills come first
If you’re not skilled today, nothing will change in six months or six years. No one is coming to save you. Start learning, invest in yourself, and be ready when opportunities come.
3️⃣ LinkedIn matters
It plays a vital role for professionals, yet many don’t know how to approach people, find jobs, or build a strong profile. I’ve recorded a detailed video on LinkedIn strategy—drop a comment if you’d like the link.
4️⃣ Freshers can get hired
There’s a common belief that only experienced people get jobs. That’s not true—everyone was once a fresher. The mistake many young professionals make is applying for senior roles that don’t fit their profile. I also have a detailed video on resume building and interview preparation—let me know if you’d like the link.
✨ To everyone still searching: stay positive, keep learning, remain consistent. Your time will come.
