Job In Dubai

As Dubai Grows Vertically So Does Consumer Confidence.
October 18, 2008

If this recent global lending crisis has proven anything throughout the chaos, it's that markets worldwide have never been as integrated and interdependent as they are now. When leaders of the most powerful countries are under constant duress to issue assuring statements of caution, and pledges to put tax payers' money to good use under growing deficits, it's obvious that this ominous atmosphere has everyone's guard up. Governments in the United States and the European Union are making daily decisions on which faltering companies should be saved and which should be left to go under. So, if it has come to a matter of staying afloat on emergency loans or sinking, does it make sense to drive against the economic tide by showcasing multibillion-dollar real estate projects?
Well, Dubai did exactly that recently during its seventh annual Cityscape exhibition. Involving over a thousand exhibitors from around the world, Cityscape 2008 opened on a particularly bad day for markets. News about the recession, sharp falls on available credit and a worldwide warning of market corrections left the stocks plunging. But in the grand halls of Dubai's International Exhibition Centre, there was a flurry of regional and international investors, developers, architects and visitors left in awe. With mock displays towering up to three stories, like Nakheel's $38 billion tower - planned to be the tallest building in the world standing over a kilometer high - Cityscape's message seemed to be the exact opposite of the fear and reluctance apparent everywhere else. The mind-boggling designs on display would all cost an enormous amount. Then why would the emirate, which is slotted for a property prices correction of 10-20 per cent, sponsor such costly projects?

The answer is the only word with the potential to avert a global depression, and that word is 'confidence.' With US Treasury secretary Henry Paulson making it an economic imperative, 'restoring confidence' is really the only way out. So, it's interesting to note that long before politicians and economists were able to articulate a solution, Dubai remained confident in its commitment to hosting this exciting event. Cityscape is the largest business-to-business real estate exhibition in the world. It features residential, commercial, leisure, retail and industrial projects backed by comprehensive teams of visionaries, builders and investors. It also attracts an international celebrity crowd, featuring big names such as Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones and even Sharukh Khan. It seems that Dubai is not only going against the tide of the real estate slump, but it's doing it in style and packing a big punch at the same time.

With plans to build a new Sports City and superstructures like the Dubai Pearl, the emirate has consistently proven another point clear, and that is its expanding job market. Jobs In Dubai has daily postings for positions in architecture, engineering, hospitality, construction, sales and virtually anything else you can imagine. If you want to be part of the movement challenging this recent trend of market fear, join the portal and make your mark in Dubai.

What Every Job Seeker Needs to Know

By Stephen Van Vreede

Resume writing is not a standardized industry. Although some states are considering legislation to require licensing, so far, the industry has been open to operate without government regulation.

THAT IS GREAT NEWS!

And not just for the resume writer, but for the job seeker as well.

Why, you might ask? Well, it means that the field is wide open to choose from, that it is currently being standardized by professional associations run by none-other-than résumé professionals (and not by government bureaucrats), and that prices are set based on market demand and not on government restrictions.

If you think resumes are expensive now, just wait until the government starts playing around with the industry! Not to mention the fact that the number of writers out there will dwindle down to where job seekers primarily only have large-scale firms to choose from.

Of course, the lack of regulation also means that job seekers can get swindled if they aren't careful in picking out their writer. But armed with the info from the Real Skinny on Professionally Written Resumes guide, and some basic commonsense, seekers should have no problem finding a reputable firm.

This guide is broken into two sections: (1) for those that are either still in the searching stage, just trying to find a service to work with, and (2) for those that have already purchased a service and aren't feeling too sure about the product they received. Our Common Resume Misnomers section is meant to help sort through the vast amount of misinformation and confusion that is out there, and provide job seekers with a solid understanding of how they should be weighing their resume.

So who am I anyway? Why do I think my advice is so valuable?

My name is Stephen Van Vreede. My company is called No Stone Unturned, and I have been in the career consulting business since 2002 with 8 years of hiring experience prior to that. You can check out my website at http://www.nostoneunturnedllc.com

The short story is that I have a B.S. degree in Business Administration & Finance from the University of Maryland and an MBA in Marketing from Villanova University. I am a certified professional résumé writer (CPRW) and a member of the Professional Association of Résumé Writers and Career Coaches (PARW/CC). As I mentioned, I paid my dues in the corporate world eventually running a large-scale call center for a major truck rental company, and I have spent the past 6 years with No Stone Unturned, assisting job seekers in achieving their goals.

I know that my products will work for you because they are based on commonsense principles leveraged with good, solid expertise and knowledge of the job search process. After working with countless job seekers, I have become more and more convinced that most of them do not properly prepare for a job search and rely way too much on online sites and trendy articles to tell them what to do. Thus, they waste a lot of time, money, and energy.

If you still aren't sure whether our services are right for you, feel free to give me a call toll-free at 1-866-755-9800 or e-mail me at [mailto:steve@nononsensejobsearch.com]steve@nononsensejobsearch.com.

Networking

What exactly is networking in job-seeking terms? Basically, it’s a group of people willing to offer their help in your job search.

Don’t be afraid to approach friends and family members. Remember they already know you and will be more than willing to keep an eye and ear out for you.

Don’t use networking as a last option. If possible, make networking a daily part of your personal and professional life. You’ll never know when you’ll need the help. It helps to keep an open mind of your network. Include friends, family, friends of family, step-family, etc. If possible, include even your local pastor, physician, dentist, accountant or attorney. Maintain positive relationships with people you meet at your workplace and retain their contact information. If you are part of a trade, being a member of your trade associate is also useful. This way, you meet other professionals in the same shoes as you. Even use your customers and, if possible, your competitors. Always do favors for people before asking them for anything.

You’ll have to learn to establish a reputation/name for yourself, which is what most job seekers would do in order to become available to employers. Attending professional events such as trade conventions or career fairs usually gets you face-to-face with executive search professionals. Once they see you taking initiative and interest in showing your credentials, they’ll feel more confident showing your resume to a hiring manager.

Don’t under estimate the power of the World Wide Web. The quickest way to get your name on the Internet is to get involved in discussion forms. Albeit you’re sharing your wisdom and knowledge with other professionals but you’ll be surprised how many executive recruiters and corporations are out hunting for professionals in discussion forms. This way, your name will begin to pop up in Internet searches.

Don’t neglect reaching out to people whom you may not know personally. Chances are they will be happy to help you and keep a look out for you once they know what you’re about. This way, you begin to view people as acquaintances not strangers.

Bear in mind that you don’t put anyone in an awkward position or compromise professional relationships. At the same time, approach people whom you feel you can trust. It takes some time but you’ll get used to it.
