Dubai...

[Shamsudin]

There is this lass I have been climbing for nearly 1.5 years now. This lady has always been desperate to land a better paying job. At the moment she is at the 30k range. For the past six months, one of her very close relatives has been trying to help her land a job in Dubai. This has not been easy and now the lady has been requested by the relative to resign where she is now, so that she can travel to Dubai and start tarmacking from those areas. According to the relative, she stands a higher chance of landing a job if she operates from those sides rather than the usual online applications.

I happen to be the chiks best friend, so she wants me to help her make an informed decision about the move. I have little or no experience with getting jobs abroad and this evening this lady has invited me to a coffee date where she wants me to help her make a choice. Like any other lady, I feel she is inclined towards moving those sides maybe due to the images she bears in her mind about the place and the possible aura that comes with living abroad, but I could be wrong. So guys, what’s your experience with seeking employment in Dubai, and what are some of the things I can share with her that could help her start a new life from those sides if she resolves to leave? Just to mention, I really wish her all the best in life and her success is mine too.

she should not quit…maybe her friend/relative pia yeye amechoka kumsaidia (if he/she was indeed trying to help), the risk is not worth it!

N.V wacha tu nikusaidie, start looking for another slice. If she stays, good for you but she will never be satisfied as she will always think about the better job she could have had there. Getting a better job in Dubai is not a guarantee, they may pay better but its an expensive city which cancels out any gains she got. If she goes just forget her because huko atapata wanaume and that’s life.

Or, … worst case, akienda ati kutarmac Dubai halafu alemewe, apimpiwe. The way I know those Emirates, your visa has to have very solid facts about where you are going and what you plan to do there.

They are not very strict. Get a good agent na visa unapewa in hours bila ata kuulizwa swali moja

true…the relative/friend can also get tired of hosting her…and leave her to her own means there and then the pimping comes…she might even pimp herself out if things do not work.

@Shamsudin has she saved enough to pay for her own ticket to and from dubai and probably pay or fend for herself for atleast one month? if no then awachane na hio story

Thanks VE, but in terms of me her thingy am happy for her success. Singe mmarry so her success is of essence here, but ile kazi amefanyiwa the bar has been set so high for the next one if there is.

The thought of it makes me sick. On savings, that’s very helpful indeed. I am taking notes.

Why not try employment agencies? Akienda huko tarmacking she will end up as a house help, and am told the salo is around 1000AED or 27K kenya money.

And @kush yule mnono nafikiri ako Dubai.

[incognitus]

Huko akienda bila mpango ataumia ile serious. Hiyo mtaa is not all that especially kama huna job ya maana. atulie tu huku 254 na hiyo mshahara aweke bidii.
Unfortunately she will not listen to your advice because of all the rosy stories she hears about the place.

God forbid. She is kinda naive na si mtu mhardy vile, so if worst comes to worst, itabidi areje.

That’s a good one. Househelp ni noma, ikifika hapo heri nimlipie a return ticket kesi baadaye.

Thanks @incognitus , thats my worry too. She appears so inclined towards a move huko which is worrying since ni kama anategemea the rela fully, but anyway I will share what I feel and garner from here from an optimistic perspective. Kuna ufala flani matym ukichapia mtu reality anaona haumtaki so I will take it slow.
