10 common mistakes everyone does to get job in dubai

1. By: vacancies.ae

2. Most common mistake that almost most of
the job seekers do is coming to Dubai in
wrong month. Dubai is an Islamic country
and weather is too hot.These two factors
along with other factors have made job
market to be seasonal job market. I will
advise never to visit Dubai in month of
Ramadan or near Ramadan days or Eid
days.The Best Month for applying jobs is
January (Year Start), December (Year End),
June, July (Mid of the year). Most of the
companies do hiring in these months.

3. The most common mistakes that everyone does
is having an unprepared or poor CV format.
Many job seekers come without unprepared CV.
They use such CV format that forced the
employer to move for next candidate.CV should
be focused.For example,If you are an accountant
then whole CV should move around accounting
thing. If you have a CV which can impress
employers in 3 seconds then believe me you got
your job. HR person are getting tons of CV on
daily basis and only way to get selected is
through your CV as they say first impression is
last impression.

4. Are you a job seeker? What is your Job
Search Strategy? Answer is I did not make
any job search strategy.This is the mistake
that almost everyone has committed. Job
seekers are unaware of art of job search.
They fail to get job in Dubai due to poor job
search strategy.Take a paper make a
complete Job search strategy during your
stay. Break down it to days. A good strategy
can lead to dream job. Job Search strategies
in Dubai can give you better insight of
correct job search strategy.

5. Job seekers depend upon only one source for
applying jobs. It’s most observed Job seeker
mistake.Normal Job seeker wake up in the
morning go to selected 4-5 websites and apply
on daily vacancies and wait for interview calls.
Many recruiters do not post jobs on these
websites. to get job in Dubai you should use
references,social media like LinkedIn , attend
walk in interview , apply on career pages etc. the
best way to get jobs in Dubai is to find out
companies who is your target company call them
or visit them personally and drop your CV in the
hands of HR person.

6. Applying for all job vacancies with one CV
is most observed and worst mistake that
almost every job seeker has done. Job
seekers think they have made a cv that can
work with all jobs position. Job seeker
should customize CV according to job
requirement if there is job which demands
specific skills highlight that skills.
Highlighting such skill will lead to
enhanced chances of getting job.
Customization is necessary before applying
for any job in Dubai.

7. Job hunters are not aware of power of social
media. Social media is most powerful tool for job
now a day.Job hunters take fresh candidates from
social media also. LinkedIn is one of them.
LinkedIn is used by many top level companies
recruiter. Quick advice is to create LinkedIn
profile complete it and fill each and every detail.
Become active on LinkedIn and Facebook Career
related and professional discussion groups
participate in discussion. Believe me you will be
amazed to see the outcomes of power of
LinkedIn,Facebook and other social media
group.

8. Networking is the thing that many of job
seekers don’t use. HR person of many
companies don’t advertise jobs in
newspaper or online website.They pick
candidates from reference. Reference can
increase the chances of jobs. Job seekers
don’t use networking. Leverage your
network to enhance jobs chances.
Referencing or networking can land you
quickly on the table of interviewer.Try to
increase references and expand your
network.

9. Job hunters don’t know how to give
interview. They don’t prepare interview
question. If they got any call from any
company they just go for interview and
lose job due to bad interviewing skills.
Interviewing skills are very necessary to
get jobs in Dubai. If you prepare your
answer of interview before interview
then you are selected for job.

10. I have observed that almost every job
seeker in Dubai apply with one CV and
on all position.This is total wrong job
search strategy.To get job in Dubai you
need to save time and money. Search for
exact match job position and apply with
confidence only for that position. Follow
up the job and your chances of selection
will be increase.

11. I have seen many of job seekers that
once they fail or see that they are not
getting jobs in Dubai then they go for
agents. Agents charge money with
promise of giving jobs to job hunters but
most of them are scam. Job seekers
become victim of fake jobs giving agents.
Never pay money to any job search agent
before getting job in Dubai.
