Guys, 30M from italy. Experience in finance. Been here for a month and at an event I found a girl who referred me to a company for an account management/sales position in a jewelry manufacturing company that also sells business services of any kind that would pay 5K a month plus comms. Tomorrow I will have the details but to be honest, it is extremely low especially because business expenses like traveling and commute will probably not be reimbursed either. Aside from your opinion, what should I be very careful to look upon in the offer letter? Thank you for the help.

Ah, I am on a 90 days visit visa and I have 52 days remaining. Edit: I have been in DXB already for 41 days

Don’t worry if the work gets done or not, it will. Trust me. I just need a bit of income to keep me going.

On a serious note though, I’m currently doing my bachelor’s in Cybersecurity and I’ve got weekends that are usually completely free. I finish most of my university work and certifications during the weekdays, so I’m actively looking to use that extra time productively.

I also have prior experience in sales and IT support, so I’m comfortable with both technical troubleshooting and dealing with clients and users in a professional setting.

I’m looking for any remote part-time work, freelance tasks, or assistant roles where I can contribute and build experience alongside my studies.

Open to virtual assistant (VA) work, basic tech support, research tasks, or any entry-level remote roles where I can learn quickly and help out.

Through a vendor organisation, I was offered a job at ADIB a month back. They asked me to cancel my visa so I asked my previous organisation to do the same. (My notice was over by then) 2 days later they came back saying don’t cancel your visa, we have to put you on hold. Now I’m indefinitely on hold although I have the company offer letter. The vendor is saying that ADIB has some internal budget approval issues because of the war. Seeking urgent help to know what’s going on? I don’t want to be job searching again!

I have been working in school admin for the past 6 years. Started as admissions now in HSE/ Admin manager similar role.

This wasnt the industry i wanted to work as many of the UAE expats. I have a good reputation in my current school. Do i continue in schools? Or is there any other industry i can switch my career to? All advice will be helpful

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I moved to Dubai last November from Europe for a Senior Manager opportunity at a large company, but unfortunately my role was made redundant due to restructuring (+700 people were affected).

I have 8+ years of experience in retail, managing transformation projects with multi-million aed budgets.

Since then, I’ve been applying, networking, and actively searching for new opportunities across project management, transformation, customer success, and retail excellence.

The market is tough right now, but I know the value and results I can bring to a team.

If anyone knows of relevant opportunities in the UAE or internationally, I’d really appreciate any leads or connections.

Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m a female Emirati university student currently looking for a remote/online job. I don’t have previous work experience yet, but I’m a fast learner, good with computers and technology, and I have flexible working hours.

I’m open to part-time work, customer support, data entry, social media assistance, admin work, or anything similar that can be done remotely.

It would honestly mean a lot if anyone could help, recommend opportunities, or guide me to where I can apply. Thank you so much!

Hey everyone,

I’m 19 , business student currently doing my bachelor’s in Finance & Business Analytics at uowd in dubai. I honestly don’t have many technical skills or much experience yet, but I really want to start somewhere and learn.

I’m looking for part-time internships, beginner-level roles, unpaid internships or even small opportunities where I can gain experience, improve my communication and business skills, and build my career step by step.

I’m willing to learn, work hard, and improve myself. Most internships I see ask for experience or advanced skills, so I wanted to ask:

- What skills should I focus on first as a finance/business student?

- Any advice for finding part-time opportunities as a student?

Would really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Dear All,

I hope you're having a great day.

I am a Marketing Specialist with over 6 years of experience in Digital Marketing, Performance Marketing, and E-commerce. Throughout my career, I have managed and optimized campaigns across various digital platforms, driving growth, sales, and brand awareness for multiple businesses.

Unfortunately, I have been unemployed for the past 6 months, and the current UAE job market has been extremely challenging. While I have been fortunate to receive interview opportunities and often progress through multiple rounds, many processes have resulted in lengthy delays, hiring freezes, or no further communication despite positive feedback.

I am actively seeking new opportunities and would be grateful if anyone is aware of suitable openings or would consider my profile for a relevant role. I would be happy to share my CV, portfolio, and details of my previous work upon request.

Any referrals, recommendations, or professional connections would be greatly appreciated during this challenging period.

Thank you for your time, support, and consideration.

Hi, I’m 29F from India and I’ll be visiting UAE in August. I have 9 years of experience in India across customer experience and HNI travel concierge. I wanted to understand are there good opportunities in Dubai or UAE for my profile. I’m also looking for opportunities which pay a minimum 9k. I do have some savings and I can easily stay in Dubai for at least 3 months. I have contacted a few recruiters on LinkedIn and all of them want me to be in UAE to proceed further for an interview.
Also please do let me know it’s a good idea to come to UAE and if my Indian experience will count. Thank you.

So I’m current a Creative Director at one of India’s leading media network. My total work ex is 10 years and I’ve worked as a social media content strategist, content (video) director/writer, brand content lead - across the decade. I’m at 30L+ per annum presently. My spouse has received a job offer of ~30,000 AED from Dubai and we are contemplating our move. My question is - will I be able to secure a job in a similar industry on a similar designation and a progressive hike, in Dubai? Does advertising industry in Dubai hold space for such roles or is it less likely given my debut in Dubai? Will my India experience hold weight or am I better off continuing in India?

13+ years as a Senior Backend Engineer in Dubai and now looking for my next opportunity.

I build scalable backend systems and microservices — Java, Python, Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, Docker — and recently completed Stanford's Advanced AI Professional Certificate. Built production AI systems using AWS Bedrock and RAG at Almosafer.

Looking for Senior Backend / Engineering Lead roles in Dubai or Saudi Arabia. Immediate joiner.

If you're hiring or know someone who is, DM me and I'll send my resume. Any lead is appreciated! 🙏

Post:
I recently went through a job loss in Dubai, and I’ve been trying to understand if this is something others are experiencing too or if it’s just my situation.
From what I’m seeing, there seems to be a shift in the job market more layoffs, longer hiring cycles, and roles taking much longer to close than before.
I’m curious:
Are others experiencing job loss or instability right now in Dubai?
If yes, are people choosing to stay and rebuild here, or are they leaving the UAE and going back home or elsewhere?
What’s been your strategy to stay financially stable during this period?
Would really appreciate honest experiences, not theory. Just trying to understand what reality looks like on the ground right now.

Salary is up to 8000 AED subject to experience

• Previous managerial experience is a must
• Previous experience in central kitchen or production facility is a big advantage.

Job description includes;

• Overseeing production quality
• managing around 8-10 staff
• Maintaining HACCAP and DXB municipality code

Gonna keep this short and to the point. The Market has been rough, things have been hard and I am just trying to support My Mother and Father

I have 10 years of senior level in Dubai specifically. Having worked with companies such as Nike, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kuaishou Technology and Redbull to name a few.

I can speak both English and Arabic with full native fluency, I work extremely well with teams plus I believe that I am excellent when it comes to client facing situations or when ideas have to be relayed in an articulate/ accurate manner.

If you have any connections to a social media agency or you yourself are looking for someone. I am your guy. I can share both my CV and portfolio upon request. Give me a chance to show you exactly what I can do.

I can also do very, very high level Marketing campaigns and have the evidence to prove it.

Any help would seriously be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. Hope you have a great night. Take care of yourselves everyone.

PS. I have also been told I am mildly funny, so that’s a pro too I guess? 😅
