I've received hundred of applications on LinkedIn, but I want to send all the candidates who've applied a mass email inviting them for our Open Day. Is there a way for me to download all the applicants in one go rather than individually downloading AND saving (since LinkedIn doesn't let it go straight to your downloads tab)?

Thanks.

My bf recently told me that he's "one big event away from ending his shit", and big event refers to something like his mom dying. Since this is just a hypothetical, I just heard him out and didn't offer any words of advice. But I thought about what I would say if this 'big event' actually happened if we were married, and I was trying to convince him to keep living.

Once parents die, I guess other people keep on living for the sake of their children. Motivates them to keep trying, harder and harder. I can't ask him to live for me, that's kind of selfish and narcissistic. I feel like if I bring up things like travelling the world, our cat, etc. it would just seem so small, insensitive and futile in front of his mom dying.

What could I possibly say at that point? I'm a bit of a nihilist so I anyways have an indifference for life and can't hype it up too much even when it comes to me...

When a company asked me for my expected salary recently, I asked for +2500 dhs more since it's in Abu Dhabi and I'm based in Dubai. Usually, I ask for +2000 dhs more but my dad said I should've gone even higher and asked for +5000 dhs...

It got me thinking and I'm curious to know how much other people get when they switch roles? Would you leave for +1000? +2000? or double?

Edit: for context, I currently earn AED 10,000 so this would be a 25% increase. I’ve been working for 3.5 years. No clue what their budget is.

I remember when I had 0 UAE experience and was a fresher, there were plenty of internships and assistant level roles in my field. Now that I have almost 4 years of experience and am looking to switch companies, it's extremely hard to break into it. In fact, there's barely any openings even. But for managerial level roles, there's plenty of vacancies again that are being posted which I can't apply for.

Is it like this for everyone?

I know the structure is supposed to be simple, but I've heard certain two column templates can actually be ATS friendly. How can we spot which ones are not ATS friendly?

I connected with someone from a company that posted a job opening and surprisingly, THEY reached out to me asking me what it's like to work at my current company. We both shared insights and had a short chat but it fizzled out quite quickly.

Now, I want to ask her to refer me for the position but I don't want her to think I'm "using" her? Lmao I know I shouldn't care but is there a way to phrase the question naturally, and without seeming too desperate?

People always recommend your CV to be 1-2 pages long max and that it shouldn't be a repeat of your job descriptions. Rather, it should be about your achievements.

However, many job ads and descriptions mentioned there are super long and they mention a lot of specific responsibilities. I'm talking 4-5 sub headings and at least 4 bullet points under each one.

If I meet all those requirements but I'm not supposed to make my resume lengthy, how do I show the recruiter that I'm the right candidate?

I wanted to visit Barasti beach club during the Eid holidays because I heard it’s free entry. I don’t mind paying fees if there are any as long as it goes towards food and drinks.

Will we be able to access the pool and cabanas with no problem? Is there parking nearby? Will there be showers/changing room inside?

I’m a girl and I’ll be going with a guy for reference.

I've read recently that South Asian women tend to have iron deficiency, along with vitamin D deficiency.

I want to get supplements for those but also for Omega-3 and I'm worried if I'm doing too much lol. So do you take any of these supplements and which ones have you found to be the most helpful?

I want to hang out with my friends after work in Dubai, this way I can socialise and also avoid peak traffic hours to head home.

I like areas where we can get dinner at an affordable restaurant and then head to a free park/third space to just chill, walk and talk.

So far, areas that I like are:

- Barsha park, it has the food truck area nearby

- Oud Metha, many restaurants and small park nearby

- Alserkal Avenue, kinda pricey though but can spend some time at least

- Dubai creek harbour, nice views and areas to sit

Does anyone have better suggestions or areas I can check out? Thanks in advance!

I devoured a large salted popcorn at reels cinema last night completely forgetting that I’m supposed to be on a calorie deficit lol. How much damage did I do…

I'm interested in marketing, sales, business development, so I wanted to know which unis offer good bachelor's programs. If you have good recommendations for MBAs in the future, please share that too. Thank you

Whenever I see online posts about how men are treating women wrong, eg: cheating, the comments always accuse the man of being fruity or gay, or say that he should go be with his homeboys since that's what he truly wants.

Or they'll use stickers and gifs of the man going down the stairs in a princess costume. All of this is meant to strip the man of his masculinity and 'embarrass' him in a way.

So my question is: isn't this homophobic? Why are we slowly going back to using gay as an insult, or saying that if a man is acting feminine (like the princess sticker for eg.) it's bad? Aren't we insulting gay people and women in the process?

OR, do people *genuinely* believe that the men are gay?

Isn’t there something called WPS compliance? How is MOHRE not flagging the companies that impose salary cuts without amending the contract?
