Companies want “fresh graduates” with 3+ years of UAE experience, their own visas… all for 3,000 AED.
Honestly, job descriptions these days read like:
A horror story at best - piling impossible requirements onto entry‑level roles.
A joke at worst - undervaluing talent while asking for the moon.
And here’s the thing: it’s not just unfair to candidates. It’s a missed opportunity for employers too.
- You lose out on fresh perspectives.
- You push away motivated graduates who could grow into long‑term assets.
- You send the message that retention and respect aren’t priorities.
The result? A talent market where trust erodes and both sides end up frustrated.
Job descriptions should inspire, not intimidate. They should attract, not repel.
