Dubai Internet City to Jebel Ali Free Zone to Thanksformyjob.com

Television said a lot of job openings are happening in Dubai, “maybe”, I say. They also said that for you to apply for a job, you need to hand carry your CV (or resume) to your prospectives. The last film about Dubai by Claudine Barretto and Aga Muhlach states that if you ever forgot your belongings in a certain place, you can find it to where you left iyour belongings even after hours. The finder will make the effort to return your belongings coz they are afraid of the law. I’m thinking “maybe” again. Few days ago, a “Kabayan” (tawagan ng mga pinoy dito) after getting out of the taxi, the driver flee. Kabayan still have the 8 bags of goodies, etc. that she bought from MOE na ipapadala sana nya sa likod ng taxi. Tsk, tsk tsk – see!

 It’s like a good painting! (another point)….

 For weeks now, I still don’t have a piece to be proud of. My wallet is becoming thinner and thinner every day. I am lucky though that I have her to assist me for my daily needs. She never leaves me behind. Hehehe. The next day I arrived, there is a job fair in Knowledge Village. Knowledge Village is near Dubai Internet City and Media City (I’ve been through here as well dropping my CV though I need to enter the back door of the building since the receptionist at the front don’t allow applicants to drop their CV, they say online is better – another point that I want to iterate to her that physically hand carry CV’s a thing in the past!) I’m about to accept the job offer but it’s far from where we live (that is the reason I went here is to be with her and not to have a long distance relationship again), so I didn’t accept.The offer was in Abu Dhabi, QA Analyst or something and they got my credentials (photocopy, hehehe). I didn’t know back then that you have to carry the original documents during interviews coz you’ll never know that the company you’re looking for is just right in front of you.

Moving forward, the next stop is at Jebel Ali Free Zone, to which you need to have a pass to enter the zone.  The pass will be given by the company who invites you to come over for an interview, and I don’t have any that day. I said  try lang. The security let me pass saying “God Bless in looking for a job”, when I told the guy that I’ll be dropping my CV in free zone. He further instructed me to say to the security when I go out of JAFZ: “If you go out from here, tell the security you came by Taxi, that’s the reason why you have no pass”. I’m a bit happy back then and feeling lucky, unfortunately I don’t know where to begin. The place is deserted, with long winding dusty roads. I see no one like me moving around dropping CV’s to every company he feels comfortable with. The receptionists are mostly Filipina’s and they told me it’s better to give my CV online – another poiint not to hand carry CV’s.  Picture yourself in a village with no trees only asphalted roads with sand everywhere and buildings surrounding you, under the heat of the blazing sun, with no umbrella or head gear. It’s not a good picture when you’re there. Tanning lotion is useless, hehehe.

 Since the net was cut off to where we live, I don’t have any other reason but to pay for thanksformyjob.com (150 Dhs). Some of friend’s friend told good stories about it; some said it’s a bad choice. Well, pera lang yan compared to the physical discomfort when applying personally, your taxi’s, your everyday food while applying, your fare…mababayaran din yan pag me work na. If possible, use all available resources. Kahit na ung mga kakakilala lang sa bus station or bus stop, sa mall, etc. Use them, be a user, not used. Unfortunately, there’s nothing happened to my last resort (thanksformyjob). Yeah, they emailed a lot but mostly your emails will be returned due to: misspelled email address, or the recipient is no longer using that email, or the recipient’s mail is full and cannot accept anymore, and the like. So my AED150 went into a total waste. I’m not against this institution ayt, this is my blog so I can write anything I wanted. This is what happened to me and I’m only sharing what I feel most sharing.

This country with the seven emirates I consider a place for the rich and the feeling rich. From wheels to branded stuffs, its all here, including a mixture of culture and nationality.

I have been teaching quantitative (math) portion of GMAT, GRE, SAT, etc for many years. Please contact for home tuition.

After taking lessons from me for 2 months, you won’t need a calculator anymore. For example, you’ll MULTIPLY any two digit number by an other two digit number in 10 to 15 seconds it’s for sure. Or you’ll be able to DIVIDE any big number by any two digit number in less than a minute. Or SQUARE any two digit number in 10 seconds. Try then believe.

I have SHORTCUTS of Algebra, Geometry, Word Problems, any topic that’s covered in GMAT, GRE, or SAT.

I know how to use my 2 hands for multiples of 9, the multiplications of 1 digit number and my knuckles to determine the number of days there are in a given month too. It’s not new for using the fingers to multiply 2 digits with another 2 digs but I can’t recall how to do it and I know you can be a great help to everybody who wants to learn that. I somehow learned that stuff when I’m watching a once so called TV program “Mathinik” in Sineskwela, for primary pupils and children-at-hearts in the Phils. Thanks for sharing my friend! If you want to contact this guy, replace 050 with +97150 for international calls.
