This is also an Inspirational Blog/Story I came across
Getting a Job in Dubai within 3 months
To start with let me give you a hint of who I am - my name is Adam Christian C. Roxas, my friends call me adam or ian (last 3 letters of my 2nd name), I’m 25 yo, a web enthusiast, avid pinoy indy music lover and a God chaser.
As a professional, well, i’ve had my share of work experiences delving into computers so just check my site - www.adamroxas.cdofirst.org to further give you an idea of where I stand as a skilled I.T worker.
Enough said about me - so lets move into the gist of this. “Getting a Job in Dubai Within 3 Months” - I only have 3 days left until D-day and I am off to dubai where I will test the waters and seek for a more suitable, high-earning, tax-free and challlenging job as a web developer or programmer or graphics designer or systems support or anything that has to do with computers as it is my forte so to speak. In preparations for this I’ve made an online portfolio, researched on avaible I.T. jobs on the net and applied online, did a little research on the place - the way of living, cost of living and etc. and above all else I prayed to God - seeking his will and his guidance.
So far, my preparation is a bit off since I still don’t have my visa on hand but I was promised by my sister that I will get it as soon as I am in Manila the day before my departure. I’m a bit frustrated and worried since I am the kind of guy that prepares for everything before hand (i am an O.C.) and i find it hard to digest the fact that my preparation checklist is not complete but i depend on God’s provision and His timing - He gave me this opportunity and I am made calm by His presence all throughout my journey.
Ive seen a post on youtube about this guy who, for 5 months, still did not have a job and suggested to all pinoys to cancel their plans of coming to dubai and look for a job - “huwag na kayong pumunta dito mahirap mg hanap ng trabaho dito!” - as he exclaimed. Well, that’s according to him and the way he dressed up (unpresentable, not corporate, not formal) - shows his insincerity and is undeserving to have a job. Forgive me if I am rude but i just find it so degrading for people to disseminate such words of discouragement. I always say to myself to take a chance, test the waters, take a step because its the only way for us to know our limits. If you believe you can do it then why not? If there’s one thing I learned in life it is that “Life is tough” - nothing comes easy - you don’t go and venture into another place seeking for a good life and expecting that it will be served to you in a platter! You have to work harder, sleep lesser and use your head to have a better-financially-stable life. And of course, in everything you do always put God first (as my Girlfriend always tells me). Another lesson learned: “Never let the opinion of others be the opinion of you” - another wise word I’ve qoute from my Girlfriend.
So what are my chances of having a good job after 3 months? This i do not know. One thing is for sure though that I am going to look for a job like I have never looked before, I am going to exert my effort like nothing before, I am going to pray and depend on God like nothing before and at the end of the day I will thank God for the strength, the provisions, the love and the blessings for it was nothing compared before.
