Second Session :
Sorry could not come up yesterday because of two reasons,one i was busy in laundary and cooking and then one my room mate was dejected on his father illness back in karachi and unluckliy late at night we got to know that he has Passed Away,Inna Lilla hi Wa Elahie Rajioon..
May Allah SWT rest his soul in peace,then we arranged for his departure at earliest to attend funeral,More over he is oldest son..Hu Hooo,Very Sad,jany waly ko roka b nahi ja sakta,is haqeeqat ko jutlaya b nahi ja sakta ,per ye dard be bardashaat kia ja sakta hy agar koi apna paas hota tou,
Pardesioo k khushi k din tou yun khatam hoty hain jesy shadi k function se khana,or ghaam k din sheetan ki aanth ki tara lamby ho jaty hain ..khair ye catharsis choreye and lets come to the point
tou baat ho rahi thi k UAE main job k chances kia hain...first of all you need to under stand the following:
- the working experience in UAE/Gulf will not be accepted any where in the world not even in Pakistan until the company for which you will be working is registered internationally,like Big Four,Some International Bank like Standard Chartered,and any other company like that
- UAE is good place to earn money ,not professional experience that needed to be the part of Resume,but no doubt it will make you understand some other expsoures,like living in abroad while feeling not far from home,will be able to make good contacts,personal and professional but both of them will be based on common interest,interest khatam to relation khatam..fact hy ji fact hy :) :)
- How to survive when you will be put thrown back?
- How to fight with good or bad?
- Money hy tou bad b good ho jaye ga,nahi hy tou good b bad lagta hy :)
- UAE market is a trading based market,companies having billions of B/S value will be having their office in just one apartment size
- Employer is your master and you need to follow him like a slave
- No vacation for nothing :) dont worry aadi ho jata hy banda ...akely rehny se acha hota hy office chala jaye
- very expensive but afford able by evry one
- very diverse lifestyle,depends on your earnings and saving habits
- weather is hot ,always hot,main ne jan,feb main b AC band nahi kia :)
- Infrastructure is awesome but nothing is natural,not even grass and tree,every thing is imported,
- very saltish water,normally logo ki tind isi waja se hoty hy..
- will find good cinemas,bars,discos,whores what ever you want,these are the only things that are cheaper than in region including liquors
- visiting other gulf region countries is easier once you get good profession visa of UAE,your entrance will be free like in Qatar,Oman,Kuwait ,Bahrian etc,
- Nature loving people will find them selves very hard to accommodate initially because very less rains,no natural greenary etc
- Don't waste your money on trying to get driving license,untill u spend at least 2 or 3 years.
- wesy b its not good ethicall to drive your own car when public transport facility is much better
- having said that,having license means additional expenses:in form car loan installement,some time fines because of accidents,over speeding,wrong parking and many others like that,
- move freely in buses,on foot,on cycles,taxis ,what ever is in your capacity
