IMS provides expert project portfolio management consulting & control solutions in TX. We help companies increase their capability to manage their portfolio.
And just like that, the company is back to square one:
โข Another vacancy
โข Another round of hiring
โข More onboarding costs
โข Lost time and productivity
The hard truth?
๐ Underpaying great talent isnโt saving.
๐ Itโs postponing a bigger cost.
If you want to retain top people, pay them what theyโre worth from day one.
They donโt just bring skills โ they bring stability, loyalty, and long-term value.

Many candidates lose their chance not because they lack skills, but because they give weak or negative answers. Hereโs a breakdown of the wrong answers vs. the right way to answer positively and professionally:
1๏ธโฃ Tell me about yourself.
โ โMy name is Ali, Iโm 27, I like playing games and hanging out with friendsโฆโ
โ โI have 4 yearsโ experience in HR operations, with a strong focus on recruitment and compliance. Iโm excited to apply these skills to support your companyโs growth.โ
2๏ธโฃ Why did you leave your previous job?
โ โI couldnโt stand my boss / the company was terrible.โ
โ โIโm looking for new challenges where I can grow further, especially in [specific skill/area].โ
3๏ธโฃ What is your biggest weakness?
โ โI donโt really have weaknesses.โ
โ โI used to struggle with presentations, but Iโve been improving through practice and training.โ
4๏ธโฃ Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
โ โIโm not sure, maybe running my own business.โ
โ โI see myself advancing into a leadership role, contributing to projects like [X] and mentoring others.โ
5๏ธโฃ Why should we hire you?
โ โBecause I really need this job.โ
โ โBecause I bring proven skills in [X], strong results from [past achievement], and I can add value immediately to this role.โ
6๏ธโฃ Tell me about a challenge you faced at work.

โ โYes, Iโd love to know more about the team structure and how success is measured for this role.โ
Pro Tip:
Strong answers show you are:
โ Confident
โ Positive
โ Self-aware
โ Aligned with the company
Remember interviews arenโt about saying what you think HR wants to hear, but showing who you are in the best professional light. less
Donโt stop your job search until the offer is signed.

Iโve seen this play out too many times:
โ A candidate crushed their final interviews. Everyone was impressed. They were confident an offer was coming. But the hiring manager chose someone else.
โ Another candidate nailed an interview with a dream job. They were so sure it was a done deal, they barely prepared for their other interviews with other companies. Then? That company changed direction on the role entirely.
Both were left starting over. Frustrated. Discouraged. Stalled.
A great interview doesnโt guarantee a job.
Strong performance doesnโt always equal a yes.
And more often, decisions have nothing to do with you.
The search isnโt over until the paperwork is signed.
So keep applying.
Keep networking.
Keep moving forward.
Hope for the best.
But stay active until itโs official. less

Many job seekers are unknowingly falling into the trap of paying money to secure job offers.
But here's the truth:
๐น It is completely illegal in the UAE for any person or recruitment agency to charge you a fee to get a job.
๐น Under UAE Labour Law, employers are responsible for all recruitment-related costs โ not the job seeker.
๐ If someone asks you for payment in exchange for a job offer, visa, or interview โ itโs a scam.

It is even tougher to get an interview call.
The reality is - You might be a great candidate. But, there is someone out there who:
1. Knows the recruiter.
2. Or has somebody who can vouch for them
3. Or has prior manager/colleague giving information on "EXACTLY" what the company is looking for.
When you apply on LinkedIn or Naukri - You can't compete with these candidates. Because, the organizations "Trust" referrals/warm intros more than hiring a candidate through online job portal.
- Even if you are the SMARTEST guy, you can't do much about it!
That is where:
1. College alumni network comes into picture.
2. Your prior colleagues come into picture.
3. Your parents network / your friends network / your extended family's network - everything becomes important when you are desperate!
If you really want to grow & have a long career
- Don't underestimate ANYBODY. Even your juniors or freshers on your team.
- If you don't have time for nice talk, don't talk! But, don't belittle others.
- Folks don't forget how you make them feel!
Be humble & help others.
This is the reality! There is NO OTHER WAY to grow in your career!

Every fake opening you post costs someone hours of preparing a CV, writing a cover letter, and building hope โ only to have it crushed.
Job seekers arenโt statistics. Theyโre human beings investing real effort for a chance that never existed.
Be transparent. If itโs an internal hire, say so. If the role is already filled, donโt post it. Trust in hiring is built on honesty, not false advertisements.

And you wait.
And wait.
Silence.
Hereโs why.

If you're new to the UAE and currently exploring job opportunities, hereโs a sincere piece of advice based on personal experience living here:
One of the key challenges many newcomers face is that work experience from their home country is often not fully recognized or valued in the local market. In the UAE, local experience and familiarity with the business culture are highly regarded by employers.
You might be wondering: "How can I gain local experience if no one is willing to hire someone new to the country?"
This is the real challenge. To overcome it, you may need to accept roles that are initially below your qualifications or salary expectations. It may not be ideal, but itโs a strategic entry point. Once you gain UAE experience, even in a supporting or junior role, your profile will become significantly more competitive.
Getting involved in the local work environment, understanding the culture, and building a professional network will open doors for better opportunities in the future. Being flexible and persistent during your initial phase is essential.
Itโs just a humble tip ๐
wishing you all the success in your job search journey here in the UAE! less
Job hunting right now is tough. Really tough. In the past few weeks, Iโve applied for role after role. Dozens of applications sent, tailored resumes and cover letters written and yet, Iโve secured a few interviews but no score.
Job hunting right now is tough. Really tough. In the past few weeks, Iโve applied for role after role. Dozens of applications sent, tailored resumes and cover letters written and yet, Iโve secured a few interviews but no score.
Then itโs the โbetter alignedโ line although itโs the literal job Iโm doing or was just doing. A few just ghost me because what do I really matter after pouring my heart out and showing the ultimate vulnerability to a strangerโฆ
Most applications get no response at all. Others end in an instant auto-decline, without so much as a phone call or a chance to have a conversation about my skills and experience.
Itโs hard not to feel deflated. You start to question yourself, even when you know you have the capability and track record to add real value.
I know Iโm not the only one feeling this. Job seeking in the current market is more competitive than ever, and it can take a real toll on your confidence.
For anyone else in the same boat โ keep going.
And if youโre a hiring manager or recruiter reading this, I implore you to remember the human side of the process. A simple conversation can go a long way.
