To the Jobless: You Can Forget Dubai!

Published by Damien in Business News, Career on September 28th, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Dubai seems to be the destination of most people today for work but apparently this piece of news may not be that enlightening for the people looking for work. Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo planed in to Dubai with the hopes of negotiating a pact to help remedy the growing number of unemployed Filipinos today. But upon her arrival, she was told that job opportunities over there have dried up.

According to Emmanuel Geslani, Dubai has lost its status as a corporate financial hub and many unemployed migrant workers are now finding out just how tough are the laws on debt, immigration and labor in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Geslani aired the warning Sunday, in the course of pointing out that Ms Arroyo’s trip to Dubai to meet with prospective employers of Filipinos did not mean that thousands of jobs were still available there.

“My advice to [Filipinos] is: Don’t go there for nothing so you will not suffer,” Geslani told the Philippine Daily Inquirer on the phone.

He said Filipinos applying for jobs in Dubai and other parts of the UAE should verify from their would-be employers if a working visa or permit would be eventually issued to them when they get there.

Geslani, a 30-year veteran of the recruitment industry, is a former vice chair and three-term director of the Philippine Association of Service Exporters Inc. (PASEI).

His clients include Manila-based recruitment agencies belonging to PASEI, the Federation of Manpower Exporters and the Overseas Performers Association of the Philippines.

Career People Investing in Higher Education

Published by Damien in Business, Business News, Career, Jobs and Careers on September 21st, 2011 | No Comments »

Recession is unavoidable and while there is no telling how long this economic plague will be around, some career-oriented individuals have done the next best thing for now – STUDY.

College graduates today are no longer assured of landing a job right out of college. In fact, some of them find themselves idle right after finishing their degree. And while some would bum around or relentlessly look for a job, others are investing in higher education such as investing in a Law or Masters degree. Honing up education seems to be a viable investment for now.

Besides, after they complete this second degree, the recession may be over. Further, they can stand tall as they have better qualifications which are bound to capture the eye of companies during the climax of the recession bug.

Oxford College of Marketing has seen an upsurge in graduates applying for relevant Chartered Institute Professional marketing courses. In fact enrolments have increased by 25% when compared to last year. As Rosie Phipps (Principal of Oxford College of Marketing) says, “Vocational qualifications that easily transfer into the workplace are the differentiator that prospective employers are looking for, and the Chartered Institute of Marketing qualifications are designed to make people effective in the workplace.”
