Opportunities Emerged During the Pandemic
When asked about his insight about the job market situation during pandemic, Mr. Ali said that this incident taught us many lessons. Contrary to what most of us think, the job market actually increases in some aspects sectors including IT, coding, e-commerce, social media and online related jobs and there even new positions that were created.
He also added that the market is always optimistic with different
opportunities but it needs certain types of qualifications and skills to get
in. We just need to be creative and passionate and look for all these
opportunities. It should not kill the hope in everyone’s heart but
instead use it to learn from this experience.
He also discussed about qualification versus experience when
finding a job. Mr. Ali said that even if you do not have enough experience but
have the qualifications and the willingness to learn, have a positive attitude
and enthusiasm, you are most likely to get a job. That is why it is important
to equip yourself with trainings and the right knowledge.
Talking about Expo 2020, Mr. Ali said that this would create many
opportunities in different aspects. We need to remember that this is not
just a onetime event and a onetime break. There are different
opportunities inside and outside Expo 2020 and that can continue even after the
event. It will be a great exposure for job seekers with more than 200 countries
who might even take you to their countries after the event if there is a
chance.
For his message to those losing hope during these trying times,
“if you want to be recruited, change should start from inside. If you
want to start your future, start with yourself, equip yourself with proper
knowledge and qualification. I am sure that one day your hard work is
going to pay off. Show everyone that you are optimistic. Believe in
yourself for others to believe in you”.

Fraudsters
target UAE jobseekers:
Over the years, many victims have fallen for recruitment
scams as fraudsters keep innovating. Fraudsters are using the name of a
Dubai-based visa and passport service provider to dupe jobseekers from various
countries, offering them promises of jobs or immigration abroad. They even
offer government jobs in lieu of money for visa or, in some case, a month's
salary as commission.
How to detect scams
The fraudsters post jobs online with hefty salaries and
unbelievable benefits.
There will be e-mails with the job offer or immigration promises
from fabricated e-mail IDs, or there will be offers from a company an
individual had not applied to. At times, one will receive an offer letter
without giving an interview which includes the name and out-of-proportion logos
of VFS Global with or without a fake embassy stamp.
In some cases, there will be an offer letter asking one to pay
the visa processing fee. There may be demand for advance payments to personal
bank accounts with the threat of visa application rejection. Sometimes, the
scammer will say these costs would be reimbursed once the process is complete.
Dos and
don'ts:
- Job aspirants should never
respond to unsolicited business propositions and offers from unfamiliar
people
- Do not disclose personal or financial
details
- Never publish passport or visa
application numbers on public domains or social media platforms
- Don't jump into any offers that
sounds incredible
- Check the veracity of the job or
immigration offers before paying money or sharing personal details
- If the perks offered by a
recruitment agency or any other firm are above the market rate, ensure
that the firm is real
- For immigration or settlement
abroad, go through the proper channel and authorized agencies
