None of Zara's tops are bra-friendly. You either need a strapless (which never works) one or the kind of bras that are invisible to everyone. Thoughts?

Hi guys, do i need to get an NOC from my current bank to change salary crediting to a new bank? I have no outstanding dues/loan/credit card with the bank. My new bank didn't ask for one either. But the ignorant customer care lady keeps saying I still need to take one from them. Is this true? (They will be charging 52 aed for this NOC i don't need.)

Hi everyone, I could use some career advice from people in PR, communications, or content.

I've been working as an English content editor/content creator in the public relations industry for the past 8 years. I currently work for a local PR agency that serves several government and private-sector clients across hospitality, real estate, tourism, technology, and other industries.

Over the years, I've developed, drafted, and edited speeches, media interview briefs, press releases, talking points, reports, and other communications materials on a daily basis. For the last 4 years, I've worked closely with a government-sector client, which has given me strong exposure to the inner workings of a government communications department and a solid understanding of the PR landscape.

Here's my challenge: I'd like to move on to a new role and advance my career, but I'm struggling to showcase my experience. Most of the work I've done has been ghostwritten or produced on behalf of clients, so I don't have bylines or publicly attributed pieces to point to. I've never maintained a blog or published articles under my own name (i know that is a big mistake :().

So my questions are:

• How can I build a portfolio when most of my work is ghostwritten and confidential?
• Should I create new content specifically for a portfolio? If so, what would be most valuable?
• How can I market myself effectively when my strengths are largely behind-the-scenes?

I know I'm good at what I do and have accumulated a lot of relevant experience, but I've never been good at selling myself during a job search/interview (I have been applying for new positions for almost 3 years now, with no luck) At this point, I am kind of desperate because i feel stuck.

Also, are there any courses or certifications I could pursue to increase my market value or help me transfer these skills to another well-paying field?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
