If you're job hunting in the Gulf, tailor your CV to the local market. Add your visa status and notice period right at the top, since recruiters there screen for that first.
Hot take: your CV should be a highlight reel, not an autobiography. Cut the filler and focus on what makes you stand out. What's the one thing you always include?

Walking out of an interview that felt rough doesn't mean you failed. It means you showed up, faced the pressure, and learned something about yourself. Every conversation is practice. Keep going, your yes is coming.

Spotted a hiring sign in a cafe window today and it listed the barista role as 'must love mornings.' Honest, at least. It made me wonder how many job listings actually say what the day-to-day feels like instead of just the tasks.
Watching someone finally get their moment in the spotlight after years of quiet work is my favorite kind of entertainment. Keep going, your scene is coming.
