UAE career advice
UAE hiring has its own logic. A professional photo is standard, nationality and visa status sit near the top of the CV, and Dubai and Abu Dhabi recruiters read very high volumes of applications fast, often through Bayt, LinkedIn, GulfTalent or a recruitment agency database. These guides cover the conventions specific to the Gulf: the UAE CV format, exactly what personal detail to include or leave out, and how to run a job search from abroad without falling for a recruitment scam. For universal advice on structure and achievements, the global career advice library goes deeper. If you are applying from Sri Lanka or India specifically, start with the international job seekers guide.
