Employers' demands for specialized experience, formal and informal nationality quotas, location of the candidate and employer, employer visa regulations, salary budgets that are sometimes tied to human capital markets, and other factors make finding a job in one of the Gulf member countries a difficult process. The following suggestions can assist you in obtaining the position you want in the Gulf.
Proper Planning
The expression "getting a job is a full-time job" was coined to emphasize that only you can obtain the job you want; do not rely on others to do it for you. Create a strategy, plan it out, then put it into action every day. Make it count! Read up on the newest advice, make an investment in yourself, and, if you need more assistance, seek it.
Updated Resume
Examine the content of your CV to ensure that it contains the most up-to-date and relevant information possible and to eliminate any achievements that are no longer relevant. Because you are not creating a novel, keep your CV brief and avoid cramming in too much material, which will make it difficult to read.
Remove any visuals, such as logos, that are a distraction from the main message. Use muted colors and patterns instead of flashy ones. Include information about your country, age, marital status, availability, the reason for leaving employment, and the names of your current and previous employers if you are applying to GCC employers.
Proficient Networking
To apply for a job, sending your CV by email and requesting to be contacted is not the most successful method. You must network, study the firms that are recruiting, contact them, and make certain that their profiles are reviewed by the hiring managers. You must find a means to communicate with the recruiting decision-makers and offer a quick description of your experience, either verbally or in writing, such as via a phone call, a video, or an email. The message should be no more than 60 seconds in length and should explain why you are the most qualified candidate for the position while also requesting a meeting.
People are typically happy to provide a hand to a friend, a coworker, or an acquaintance, so make use of the resources you have available to you. If you want to get help, you must first help others. Share your expertise, mentor others, and assist others in making contact so that when you are in need, it will be simpler to ask for assistance.
Visiting the country of interest
Visits to the nation you are pursuing may be an excellent means of expanding your network, meeting employers, and verifying that you are interested in working in the new environment, even if you are not physically present in the country you are targeting. It is not a vacation, though, and you must have a strong strategy in place as well as specific goals to achieve throughout your stay.
