A random LinkedIn message to someone I’d never met ended up changing my life. That person is now my co-founder.

Together, we’ve built a profitable business, expanded to clients across five countries (including the UAE), and were recently featured in the news.
We’re now exploring our next venture with a strong focus on the UAE.

If you’re someone who’s serious about building—not just brainstorming—and you’re looking for a co-founder or collaborator, I’d love to connect. Whether you already have an idea or are exploring opportunities, I’m always happy to exchange thoughts and see if there’s genuine alignment.
We’re based in India but have been working with international clients for several years, so geography isn’t a limitation if the vision is compelling. We are open to relocating to UAE as well.

If this resonates with you, feel free to send me a DM. You never know where one conversation might lead.

Hi everyone,

Posting on behalf of a friend who is urgently looking for a nanny position anywhere in the UAE.

She's a 28-year-old Ugandan currently based in Dubai and is available to start immediately. She's open to both live-in and live-out positions and is willing to relocate anywhere within the UAE for the right family.

She has over 6 years of childcare experience, including:

- 3+ years as a Shadow Teacher

- 1+ year as a SEN (Special Educational Needs) Nanny

She's patient, trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loves working with children. She can also assist with light housekeeping, pet care, and general household support.

Her previous employer relocated outside the UAE, which is why she's currently seeking a new opportunity.

She's looking for a salary of around AED 3,000, depending on the role and responsibilities.

If you know of any family or employer looking for a reliable nanny, I'd really appreciate it if you could comment or send me a DM. References are available upon request.

Thank you so much!

I am an embedded software engineer with 4.5 years of experience in India. I am planning to move to the UAE. I am writing this post to get suggestions/criticisms for my job search strategy.

1. Figure out the companies that hire embedded software engineers.

\\-> for this my strategy is to google around, enable job notifications on LinkedIn, Bayt and Naukri Gulf.

I am looking for suggestions on which are the preferred sites for the recruiters to find candidates. I have also enabled notifications on companies job portals, like the Edge group.

2. Connect with people and network.

\\-> Again, LinkedIn. I try to connect with people of targeted companies and try to have a conversation with them in order to get information on current openings, expected skills, etc.

3. Resume: is there any specific resume format that I need to make my CV in for UAE-based companies?

What other suggestions can you provide me to increase my chances of getting shortlisted for interviews?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my experience because I know many people here have been through difficult times.

I’ve been unemployed for the last 5 months, and it has been one of the longest periods of having no job in my career. Every day I apply for jobs on LinkedIn, Indeed, company websites, and recruitment portals. I’ve updated my CV multiple times, reached out to recruiters, and contacted companies directly, but I still haven’t been able to secure a job.

I also picked up some part-time work during this time, including driving-related jobs, just to manage expenses while continuing my job search. This goes good but my skill and education is in tech.

Over the last 4 years, I did well in my career have been among top 5 specialists in my field and built a strong professional reputation, but now after this period of unemployment, even people who know me seem to look at me differently. That part has been difficult to accept.

Despite everything, I know I’m strong in learning new things, communication, and management, and I’m still pushing myself every day.

The financial pressure and uncertainty are difficult, and I’m trying to stay positive and keep improving my skills.

If anyone has advice, knows of any openings, or can refer me for an SEO, Digital Marketing role.

I have experience in SEO, digital marketing, AI optimization, WordPress, content strategy, and online reputation management. I’ve worked with businesses across healthcare, crypto, e-commerce, and personal branding, helping them grow their organic traffic and search rankings.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I hope things get better not just for me, but for everyone else struggling to find work.

Good wishes and I hope no one goes through a long period of unemployment.

If anybody sees any reference in my similar role, I would love to give interview and join with official way. I am available from Monday onwards for interview anywhere in uae.

Note: I don’t mind posting in different uae threads untill I find a job because sitting home will not help me cover my expenses and family responsibilities.

Experienced nanny in newborns needed! Im looking for someone who actually knows how to take care of a 5 months old baby. Live in

Hello guys. I'm currently working as a Multimedia Designer. Photo, Video shoot, video editing, graphic design, store branding etc etc as long as it includes media.

I feel underpaid for the job workload.. do you have any advice or tips? is someone here working onthe same field?

Hello everyone! As the title says, I'm looking for a job while being pregnant. It's tough and I'm desperate! BTW, I'm a female from the Philippines and an administrative officer.

I resigned due to a change in management and unfortunately my last day fell during the exact day the regional conflict started. My company didn't give the correct settlement and due to the uncertainty of the situation at that time, I was forced to accept it. Then came April where I found out I'm pregnant. Maybe because of my pregnancy, employers don't want to take the chance of hiring me due to the impending maternity leave. But I maintained my honesty during interviews, not once have I not mentioned that I am pregnant even though I know it will be a deal breaker for me, I always shown my sincerity.

I'm honestly not after the maternity leave nor even the visa. I just want to be able to survive and have an income to sustain my needs and the upcoming needs of my baby. I'm almost out of money for rent and daily expenses. I can't even update my prenatal check up which puts me in a lot of stress and worries about my baby. I'm scared. On top of that, my visit visa is only until next month.

I've been an administrative officer for a long time and since it's a mid sized company, I am an all-rounder. From administrative, operations, secretarial, imports and logistics, accounting and HR support — I handle all. I'm confident about my abilities. It's just that I'm pregnant right now but, my skills are still the same.

If anyone here knows any job that fits me, or someone willing to hire me... Please.

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a job opportunity in Dubai. My background is in Graphic Design, and I also have knowledge of HTML, CSS, Java, and AI-assisted coding.

I am open to roles in graphic design, digital marketing, administrative support, customer service, or any position where I can contribute and continue learning.

I have a portfolio ready and can share it upon request.

If you know of any openings or can refer me to someone hiring, I would truly appreciate your support.

Thank you!

In 2019, I decided to move to Australia.
Spent months researching and applying for PR.
In 2020, my application was live. COVID arrived.

Australia promptly disappeared behind a giant “Closed Until Further Notice” sign.

A few years later, I dust myself off, build my career, and decide Dubai could be my next chapter.

Interviews done. Job confirmed. Things looking positive.
Then the Middle East decides to remind everyone that geopolitics has impeccable timing.

Somewhere in between came the classic corporate line: “We’re just finalising the structure.” 😄

At this point, I’m beginning to suspect I’m not a marketing professional but a highly specialised geopolitical indicator.
On a serious note, I’m a marketing professional with 13+ years of experience across luxury, media, advertising and real estate, currently based in Mumbai and exploring opportunities in Dubai.

I’ve led brand strategy, integrated campaigns, partnerships and premium customer experiences.
If your company or someone in your network is looking for someone to manage marketing or build brands, I’d genuinely love to connect.

Until then, I’ll avoid making migration plans involving Mars… or world peace.

I am applying for roles in my field and my industry (in-house marketing).

My CV has been refined multiple times to be as effective as possible. I write short, sharp cover letters. I also have a professionally designed portfolio with real results.

Indeed: my CV isn't even being opened. I'm not getting rejected because recruiters aren't even seeing my application.

LinkedIn: almost no response.

I've hired people myself before. When you post a job, most applications are completely unrelated to the role. A CV that's properly tailored to the job description already stands out.

I'm totally fine accepting that I'm not qualified enough and HR decided to skip me.

But I can't understand why my CV isn't even being opened.

What hidden factors am I not seeing? What am I missing?
