Problem & Solution

Career Growth in UAE

             In UAE we suffer from many problems that we don’t think of or we don't try to solve. We can divide the problems in UAE to economic, social or political type. In this essay, I'll talk about a social and political problem in UAE. Many of UAE nationals don't know how to choose their work place. In this essay I'll talk about this issue from different aspects like how to determine your work, results of choosing the wrong work place and suggestions to solve or reduce this problem.

            Every one of us dreams of his future when he is at high school or university. The problems come with people who can't think of one dream or future job. This could be because of many things; one of them is the way the person is raised at home. For instance, some families don't insist in making sure that their son or daughter is able to be independent or able to make decisions. Some parents determine the study field and even the work place of their children. By this way, children don't know how to make any decision in their life and they always depend on their family member’s opinion; they work in places they are not interested in. Others are from rich families and they don’t think of working at all because they get what they want from their parents, so inability to be independent and make choices is a problem with our young nationals that needs to be discussed.

          Being unable to cope with the job is one of the serious problems in UAE. Because some of the workers don't like to work at this field, they come to work late and they don’t work as required because they are not interested at this career. This could lead to a bigger problem which is the loss of commitment at work.  These types of workers only think of working to get salaries. Moreover, National workers that choose the wrong job field will not be able to think of developing UAE by working hard and bringing new ideas to improve the economical or social fields in UAE. Moreover, some nationals who hate their jobs, ask their managers immediately to change their career then comes the problem of finding another job. This also gives a big chance to hire non national employees who are ready to work at any time. Other young citizens also will lose their chance of working because they are substituted with other non national workers; some of them are graduated from universities and they wait for their jobs but some of work areas in UAE do not trust young nationals to work well, so they prefer to hire people they believe that they will not complain one day and work hard.

In UAE, we have many ambitious and talented people but they don’t have persons to guide them. Why don’t we make a system or courses at high schools and universities to help our students in knowing what they like and determine their future jobs.  Nowadays, there are places where you can apply for a job in UAE by using websites, but it is better if we use for example mass media to announce about them and encourage people to join these work areas. Jobs In Dubai is one of the websites that give you a chance to apply for a job. They choose the most suitable parameters of your targeted job and they select the work area according to your employment criteria (Jobs and Services, 1992).  UAE University provides the students with opportunities to find careers and this has many branches and options to suit the students like Ershaad - Jobs for UAE Nationals and Etisalat Careers (Jobs and Careers, 2011). We should not forget about the family role in this issue; parents can help their children to be independent when they reach the right age, they should let them choose what they like so they can be creative at their work and keep UAE work fields up to date.(666 words)
