I've been living and working in the UAE for the past 4 years
I've been living and working in the UAE for the past 4 years and am currently looking for a new opportunity in Marketing, Social Media Management, Digital Marketing, or Administration.
I left my previous role in February due to circumstances beyond my control and have been actively job hunting ever since. This has been the most challenging job search I've experienced, even compared to when I first arrived in the UAE without local experience.
My background includes working at a marketing agency where I managed 14 client accounts simultaneously, supervised two teams, and handled a variety of marketing responsibilities.
My experience includes:
• Social Media Management
• Graphic Design
• Content Writing
• Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat Advertising
• Basic Video Editing
• Client Communication and Team Management
I currently hold my own visa, which is valid until January 2027.
I've attended numerous interviews over the past few months, but many opportunities either offer very low compensation or appear unstable. As a result, the process has become financially challenging due to ongoing living and transportation expenses.
For those who have recently secured marketing-related positions in the UAE, how has your experience been? Are there any industries, companies, recruitment agencies, or job-search strategies that you would recommend?
Any genuine advice, referrals, or information about relevant vacancies would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
