Are You Really Fit for Your Desired Job?

How often do you think about how fit you are for the job you're
applying for? Job searchers usually tend to act desperately and
drop their CVs even for the positions they're either less
qualified or a complete mismatch. Almost all of us act in the
same way and go out of our way in our efforts to acquire a
well-paying job. But often our desperation turns into
disappointment. Why is it so?

What actually happens is that we often apply for a job we're
neither qualified nor trained for. In other cases, our
qualifications do not fully match with those required by the
job. What we need is the realization that if we do not have what
the job we're applying for requires, we could just end up
wasting time filling out application forms. The results are
worse and being constantly turned down demoralizes us and we
lose hope after a few attempts.

The first thing is to keep your qualification and interest in
front of you and make sure that both complement each other. For
instance, if you have a medical degree and are for a well-paying
construction job, there's no chance that you'll get the job. And
even if you accidently do get it, the chances of your survival
in the job are very slim and you'll soon see yourself failing to
perform. On the other hand, if you have an engineering
qualification, a construction job can be a perfect match for
you. Needless to say, some jobs require more qualifications than
others. For example, a sales job may need a certain level of
experience, whereas becoming a doctor will obviously require
several years of training to become successful. So, you need to
think carefully about what area of work you want to go into
before you start applying for any type of job at all.

Another common scenario is the job searcher has a very specific
idea of what he likes to do, but is not sure which job would
suit him best. For instance, you're interested in making your
career in writing, and you're also very good at it, but you have
no idea of how to live off writing. In this case, a career
adviser can be of great help for you and can counsel you on how
to transform your interest into your career.

In today's time when the world has shrunk into a global village,
finding a job abroad has become a matter of clicks.
Professionals are switching to better career opportunities in
different parts of the world. One of the best global locations
for job search is Dubai for professionals from all fields. Jobs

management jobs, hotel jobs, construction and engineering jobs,

estate sector in Dubai are especially abundant owing to the
