  • “Laid off in Dubai: CV and outreach plan to find a new job”

    I'm looking for coaching on how to find a new job after being laid off in Dubai. I'm a marketing manager with ten years of experience, the last four at a real estate developer, and my role was cut in a restructure. My notice period ends in about six weeks.

    I've applied to around 30 roles on LinkedIn and Bayt with almost no replies. I think my CV is too long and my LinkedIn doesn't say clearly what I do. I'm also not sure whether to widen my search to Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
