Dubai Forums Dubai Classifieds Dubai Job Wanted

hello and thank you in advance for any response given!

Within few months I will be be graduated with master of sciences degree from one of the business schools in Scandinavia- Copenhagen Business School.

The degree has a primary focus on marketing and branding.

I also have bachelor degree in International Business obtained from same school.

Tricky part is all the job experience I got during the past 6 years were not much education related and were rather in the service industry: receptionist in the Spa, student assistant in the PR and Media department in the bank, receptionist in the hotel, sales assistant in the car rental, shop assistant, hostess at the hospitality desk, and some hostess work on numerous launch campaigns.

So now, when I want to move to Dubai and will be newly graduate basically with no much relevant to my education experience, what are my chances of landing a good job? What can I expect? I know that having a good CV is important and I believe I have one and making a good impression at personal interview also is, but I would really appreciate hearing about some personal experiences from people who were in the same situation. in Dubai?!?

many thanks in advance,

Elena

You will need a degree to work in hospitality:

Best to get a job in one of the fields you have experience in - then move up through the company or jump after a year

Uhm...

I do not want to work in hospitality though, I did it only in order to support myself throughout years being a student. I want to work within area of my education now since I ll be graduated. So the question is how difficult is it to find an entry position job being newly graduate?

thank you for your advice.
