Every week thousands of people land in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Ajman hoping to “figure it out.”
99% fail because they arrive unprepared, with a weak CV, low savings, and zero strategy.
This is the REAL UAE job preparation guide you should follow — written from experience, not theory.

1️⃣ Your Budget: Stop Guessing. Bring the Right Amount.
If you're coming on a 2-month visit visa, and you don’t have a survival plan, your job search will collapse in 2 weeks.
Minimum budget: 6,000–7,000 AED
Here’s the REAL breakdown:
Expense Cost
Bedspace 600–900 AED
Food 500–800 AED
Transport (Metro/Bus) 300–500 AED
Printing/Photos/Interview travel 200–400 AED
Unexpected emergencies 1,000 AED
Safety backup 2,000–3,000 AED
Coming with 1,500–2,000 AED and “hope” is not a job strategy.
This country rewards prepared people.

2️⃣ Mandatory Documents You Must Prepare BEFORE Arriving
Don’t land in Dubai and then start creating a CV. That’s how people waste 10 days.
Prepare this complete folder:
✔ ATS-friendly UAE CV
✔ Professional photo
✔ Cover letter template
✔ Passport copy
✔ Visa copy
✔ Degree & certificates (PDF)
✔ Experience letters
✔ Passport-size photos
✔ Driving license (if available)
In UAE, presentation matters.
A bad CV = No calls.
A fancy, colorful CV = Rejected by ATS.

Follow ups with HR
Send personalized emails
Network with employees inside companies
📌 Night

5️⃣ Common Mistakes That Kill Your Chances

❌ Weak CV
❌ Only applying online
❌ No networking
❌ No walk-ins
❌ Expecting 5,000–7,000 AED without UAE experience

6️⃣ Mindset You Need to Survive UAE Job Hunt
UAE employers look for people who are:
✔ Consistent
