Dubai has seen an influx of new professionals and jobseekers in the past few years, looking for greener pastures. In addition to the traditional, South Asian, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern countries, now job seekers are also coming from European markets to benefit from tax-free salary.
The career fair is jointly organised by TishTash Communications and Times Square Centre.
“We have more than 60 brands and companies taking part in some capacity – talks, workshops, pop-ups etc.,” said Natasha Hatherall, CEO at TishTash Communications.
“Times Square Centre aims to unite recruiters and job seekers in one venue to facilitate education, networking, and potential job matches. With the expected high footfall characteristic of career days, this event presents an excellent opportunity to bolster our community support efforts,” said Nancy Ozbek, general manager at Times Square Centre.
“The ‘Work Smart’ event will not only host job hunters and recruiters, but also offer support facilities that provide guidance, coaching, and tips on working smartly. Additionally, it serves as a networking opportunity for everyone to connect with like-minded people, sharing and discussing tips and ideas,” she added.
In addition, job seekers will also have an opportunity to get tips about CVs, using social media to find a job, confidence tips, dressing for job interviews and how to change careers. Jobseekers will also be able to attend workshops on interview role play and mindset techniques when job hunting.
