Company Websites

Most times, companies are posting their vacancies on their website and you can directly send your resume to their HR or system.

Newspaper / News Site / Walk-in Interviews
This process is OLD but GOLD. It may be a process that is now outdated, but as a job hunter, this may not hurt to try. You can check the Job Section of each newspaper and/or news site, usually company leaves their contact details for you to reach them. Another one is attending walk-in Interviews, but be vigilant, as most of the walk-in interviews are usually the agencies that require a fee. You just have to be smart and sceptical.
What's App and Facebook Groups
This is the most unsafe way for job hunters, but somehow lots of Job seekers tend to utilize this process more since this is the most accessible one. You can join many groups on Whats app and Facebook, such as M2M Jobs, UAE Available Jobs, Part-time Jobs, etc. Now, there are maybe genuine and legit job posts, however, the “scammers” or “agencies” cannot be removed from the equation. Since this is the most convenient way to reach the applicants, most of these agency personnel use these groups as well. Again, you just need to be vigilant.
With all of these ways to search for the latest Jobs in Dubai, you can always encounter these agencies that are asking for fees. Job Hunting is already hard, and we should not buy the gimmicks of these companies that we need to pay to get a job. Because we are seeking jobs to get paid, not the other way around.
How can you identify if the interview invitation is legit or not? Below are some guides that can help you.
1. Agencies sent a generic email for interview invitations. Email does not include your name or the position you applied for, there is no company name, and sometimes you send your application and your interview is set 1 or 2 hours later. Usual invitations are done via phone call and most of the time this phone call will be considered as your initial interview. Be mindful and sceptical about the email invitations sent.
2. Agencies use their personal email address or odd email address like [email protected], [email protected], etc. Although some HR are indeed using the gmail.com domain, most of the time, the company name is shown in the email address. Always check the sender before replying “YES”.
3. If there is a company name in the email invitation, always cross-check it on the website. Most scammers do not have an existing website and only Facebook or Instagram page. This should be your warning already. Most of their pages are created recently hence you will notice that there are not enough likes or followers. Once confirmed, feel free to ignore that email. There is a 100% chance that it is not legit.
4. You can utilize the Whats app and Facebook groups. One of the good sides of these groups is that the applicants help one another. Some people are posting a warning message and giving a list of email addresses of the agencies that are asking for processing fees. Copy it and save it for your reference. If you are not certain if the invitation is legit, you can always post the email in the group and ask the group to “legit check” the invitation. You will be surprised that there are already several applicants who attended the interview and ended up going home in dismay. Utilize the groups. It will help you.
