I have come back to what I would call home in the United Arab Emirates after a 4 year stint in London. Hoping for a brighter future and a better tomorrow bearing in mind the avalanche of unemployment in Europe. I have been here, now almost 2 months and after applying to hundreds of vacancies haven't received a single phone call from a recruitment agent or an organisation. I feel things were better in the UK, taking into account I was at least being approached by recruitment agents.
However my unemployment cannot really be blamed of external circumstances alone, at the age of 29 I'm not entirely sure of what I would want to do, he Oil and Gas sector seems very lucrative but I haven;t the slightest experience in it. How I have tried my utmost to exaggerate my experience in my resume, all to no avail. I try to keep myself occupied, I have been blessed with a good friend who is keen to take me out and introduce me to his social circle, though it cannot last very long and I am often embarrassed when I realise I can't even pay for my own drinks. Friends are good to have but the less you ask of them, the better the relationship. I have always been a giver and never a taker though it seems my misfortunes and lack of pace in my career is largely due to the fact that I never asked anyone of anything. I do hope things will look up, I am not getting any younger and hope god will grace me with employment so as to support my family and maintain my self-respect.
