r/UAEjobseekers

Hello,

I am a 39-year-old Kenyan lady, mother of two teenagers, offering my services as a nanny, babysitter, and housekeeper. I am available to work 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, on a live-out basis.

I am honest, dependable, and passionate about caring for children and maintaining a clean, organized home. I was recently laid off due to the current situation, and unfortunately, my previous employers never to processed my visa as promised, for over a year, leaving me in a very difficult position. Currently, I am based in sharjah, currently living with my husband, who was also laid off just 2 days ago.

I am seeking a kind, respectful employer who values trust, dedication, and reliability. I take pride in creating a safe, happy environment for children and ensuring the home is well cared for.

If you are looking for someone responsible and experienced, please DM.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi ! Been reading so many post about the job market. Well, i was working in Dubai like in the year 2024 for about 7/8 months I worked in Legoland but had to leave because of the management. Then came back to my native country and here worked for JP Morgan Chase process. and now again moving back to Dubai just in 5 days hoping to get a job. People are calling me foolish to go in this current situation but they don’t know I’ve put my faith in Allah and trust. Because, he’s the best of the planners. My friend just got a job in Emirites NBD. So, so what deep down I do have that small fear what if I won’t get a job. But believe me the trust that I’ve put in almighty is on another level. I would try my best to land a job for myself. When I do I will be posting it here. So, if there is anyone else with the same mindset, I just want you to know don’t stop yourself. go for it the world is not ending try and find it for yourself. I’m someone who extremely negative but somehow I’m not thinking anything negative.

I’m so tired of applying again and again just to get rejected. I’ve applied to like 500–600 places across every site possible. Some say I’m too young, but how am I supposed to gain experience if no one gives me a chance?I need a job to afford my degree. Even 2.5k–3k is enough for me right now, I’m not asking for anything crazy, just something to survive and cover basic needs. Wallahi I’m actually crashing out 😭 every job out here asking for 10+ years experience like be serious?? I’ve done two diplomas and they’re not even helping at this point. If anyone has any recommendations, referrals, or knows anything please help. I’m open to working as a receptionist, assistant, literally anything atp 🥀, I even got visa and shi OR just guide me I'm gonna cry.

Assalamu alaikum everyone,

I hope you are all safe and in good health.

I came to the UAE in December on a visit visa for the first time, hoping to build a better future. In January, I joined a company as a Digital Marketing Executive. They initially promised to provide me with a visa, but after one month, they informed me that they would not sponsor it and expected me to have my own visa. Unfortunately, they also did not pay my salary for that month, so I had to leave.

In March, I joined another company in the same role. They told me they would provide a visa after completing some formalities, including a company inspection following their trade license renewal. The inspection is now complete, but recently there have been rumors that the company may temporarily close due to the current geopolitical situation affecting business.

My boss has called for a meeting, and I strongly feel it will be about the company shutting down. Although they treated me well and paid my salary (Alhamdulillah), it seems unlikely that I will receive a visa from them now.

At this point, I am in a very difficult situation. My visit visa will expire on the 23rd, and returning to my home country is not an option for me right now.

I am humbly requesting help from this community. If anyone knows of any job opportunities with visa sponsorship, I am ready to work in any role — office work, field work, or any honest job.

Please help me if you can, or guide me in the right direction.

May Allah protect and bless us all.

JazakAllahu khair.

All these posts and vacancies we still see on LinkedIn despite the current situation, are these ghost jobs? Are people actually getting interview calls at this time?

I'm an Indian grad (expecting my EMBA in Finance this April) and I've been trying to break into the investment and banking scene in Dubai. Honestly, the job market right now is rough layoffs everywhere, companies cutting costs left and right and as an expat trying to get a foot in the door, it feels even harder.

I'm mainly looking at roles in financial analysis, equity research, and portfolio management. If anyone has been through something similar or knows how the market is moving right now in the UAE, I'd really love to hear from you.

Any tips — whether it's about networking, which firms are actually hiring, how to position myself better, or just general advice for someone coming from India trying to make it work in Dubai — I'll take it all. Even knowing what not to do would honestly be helpful at this point.

Thanks in advance, really appreciate any help!

I arrived here about 2 months ago, and I am, in the true meaning of the word, a “fresher.” Like, the definition of a fresher is me.

I have skills and a diploma in Computer Science, and I’m really good with gaming computers. I can build, upgrade, and maintain them. Basically, if you need anything done related to a gaming PC, I’m your guy. I’ve also got a lot of foreign exposure, as I used to organize esports tournaments and stuff. Because of that my original accent is almost gone, and I can speak in a very American-ish type of accent.

I’ve also done some receptionist/customer service work back in my hometown.

Now I’ve been searching for a job since the day I came here—or should I say I’ve been eating horseshit for the past 2 months. I went for maybe 3 interviews max and got rejected everywhere.

PLEASE HOOK ME UP WITH SOMETHING RELATED TO MY FIELD, REDDITORS. I CAN’T STAY JOBLESS ANY LONGER, IT’S ACTUALLY GETTING CONCERNING NOW.

Thank you, and I would appreciate any referrals or opportunities.

So here’s my situation: I graduated with my MBBS and I’m currently living in Ajman while I work toward getting licensed and preparing for the USMLE. In the meantime, I can’t practice clinically — which means I need to get creative about income.

I’ve been applying to pharma sales, medical admin, and call center roles, but the market feels tough right now. I also do freelance medical writing and Arabic-English translation on the side.

For anyone who’s been in a similar spot:

∙	How did you find non-clinical work as an unlicensed doc in the UAE?

∙	Any companies or recruiters that are actually responsive?

∙	Any remote work options that worked well for you?

Also genuinely open to any job leads in Ajman or Dubai (or remote). My background: published research, bilingual Arabic/English, strong writing and communication skills.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s navigated this. Thanks!

​Hey fellow Redditors,

​I’m in a bit of a spot and could use your collective connections. My current company (Rent-a-Car) had to let a group of us go due to the current market situation. I have spent the last 3 years in Sales/Ops here in Dubai, but I’m actually a CS Graduate. Before moving here, I worked in technical support for web hosting ( go daddy, hostgator) and gaming clients (specifically troubleshooting for Rockstar Games )

​I’m looking to get back into a tech Support or Cust Success role.

Guy with the technical "know-how," plus 3 years of local Dubai experience dealing with difficult clients and high-volume sales.

​If anyone knows a company looking for a tech-savvy guy who actually knows how to talk to people, please drop a comment or DM me!

Ive been in dubai since the last few months and the job search has been quite frustrating despite the fact that i am an experienced professional with over 15 years of experience. This, combined with a domestic situation which begs for my departure at the soonest, really gets to me at times.

I have been using all platforms like indeed, bayt, efinancial careers, Michael page, and gulftalent. ive also responded to LinkedIn job postings but I feel like wasta is the only way in Dubai. is this true? I would love to connect with other banking and finance professionals to get tips on how to job search more efficiently.

Hi everyone,

I’m an MBA graduate and recently completed my PGCTL UK Level 6 through Suraasa, which qualifies me to teach in schools. Over the past few years, I’ve taken on a mix of roles, some were professional, some were not, all of them were unpaid, with the hope that they would turn into full time opportunities. Unfortunately, none worked out, but I’ve always tried to stay positive and keep going.

Teaching is something I genuinely care about. I really enjoy helping others learn and grow, which is why I’ve been trying hard to break into the education sector here in the UAE(Preferably looking at Sharjah, Dubai or Ajman).

I have around 2 years of overall experience related to the education sector (In my university, I often helped with lectures throughout the years, I interned in a school where I thought a few business classes and helped with SEN students), but I haven’t yet had the chance to work consistently as a teacher in a school. I feel like my time is running out as I am now approaching my later 20s and I'm unbelievably depressed about it all.

In the meantime, where I wasn't able to get work, I’ve taken on event work and helped with family businesses to get by, again, all unpaid, which yet again, didn't help my case experience wise. Right now, I’m in a difficult financial situation, and I’m honestly just looking for an opportunity, whether it’s as a teacher, assistant teacher, or even something entry level in a school or institute to finally get my career going.

I’m comfortable teaching Business, Economics, Accounting, and Travel & Tourism. I can also handle early level maths, English up to high school, and some basic sciences and can do biology for high school as well if need be.

If anyone has advice, knows of any openings, or can help point me in the right direction, I’d truly appreciate it. Even small guidance would mean a lot right now.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and sorry for how unprofessional and long the post may come off, I've never opened my heart like this about my personal life but I just feel so lost now.
