i know a lot of great talented people with huge amount of experience here in dubai but they are with out a job because they dont have a high school diploma, i know it is a most but some times you gotta give a chance to the unknown maybe he is better than a guy with high degree , think about it
Does a degree over ride experience ?If someone works their way from the bottom upwards to management, they will have an understanding of the duties of each role and the way it works.With a degree, people often jump in at the higher levels and don't understand the true finer points of their business.
it all depends on market dynamics and forces.
if the market is currently saturated with educated and experienced professionals with degrees,why would it be acceptable for them to accept experienced non diploma holders.
it isn't personal, its supply and demand.
Dubai has a large diversity of workforce available anytime at their disposal. The law of supply and demand will apply. Yes, we have thousands of available jobs in Dubai, but the number of applicants are way beyond the number of jobs available, not to count those people who are already currently employed and has already invested on their GCC and UAE experience and then wanting to look for a better job. Dubai is a portal for opportunities. People come here as tourists and decide to look for a job once they get accustomed to the life here in Dubai. Big companies will not settle for less if they know that there are a lot of highly skilled experienced candidates out there. Dubai is the center hub of the world and professionals keep coming from any direction, West, Europe, Asia, GCC countries, it is evident in the society present in Dubai, where you can see the diversity of cultures and nationalities living in Dubai. Having no degrees or diplomas will be a tough challenge but it is not impossible to get a job in Dubai, you just have to be persistent and consistent with applying and don't expect too much out of it if you don't have the educational qualification. Start from the bottom and work your way to the top one step at a time.
When a company decides to hire someone, they look for someone who can contribute to the company in a very positive way. Big companies have the advantage of being able to choose the best candidates. It is very easy and feasible for them to acquire candidates who possess both educational qualifications and experience. Why would they compromise on either? They want both! They probably won't hire you if you have a good degree but no experience and vice versa.However, some companies may not be able to get the best of both worlds (for reasons of offering lower salary and benefit packages, not being very well-known etc.). These are the only ones who would either prefer education or experience. What I am trying to say is that if a recruited has an option to hire a person who possess both, they would definitely opt for him / her.
