What the hell happened to your blog? It is now fincheswings, some spam crap. I thought I screwed it all up in my template, but all looks right to me – except, you’re no longer there!
Lost in the United Arab Emirates; lost in my mind, lost in thoughts of you and him. I am a tainted female and so will be my blog. Truths tainted with lies, reality tainted with dreams, you will be tainted by me.
Does anyone else see sheer racism in these ads? Am I insane to think that this type of ads wouldn’t be permitted in any other country, let alone the ability to openly admit you’re only interested in hiring certain nationalities? Can any one else see that these permitted standards of professionalism only help increase the racial divide that is already disgustingly disturbing in the UAE?
Even with a salary of 10,000 Dhs a month, it’s almost impossible to live comfortably in
The classifies and even appointments in the UAE are riddled with ads like this. If by chance, they don’t fall into these categories, they are based pretty obviously on sex-appeal over qualifications:
Or they’re full of suspicious contact details; mobile phone numbers instead of office ones, or free email addresses instead of company ones. Spam email is not an excuse to lower your company image this way.
Before I close, here’s one ad that tops the cake!!!
It’s not only sexist, but offering the shittiest possible salary, and check out those contact details! I know office-boys that get paid more than that, for making tea and coffee!
Personally, I wouldn’t even apply to these positions. Their ads alone are horrible display of discrimination (let me not even start on the sexism), and sheer unprofessional policies. I can’t imagine working for another shit company in the UAE and the truth is, 95% of the ads I read here, give me the first impression that this is exactly what they are. If you would apply to these positions, I've got to say... Either your standards/qualifications are far too low, or you must be pretty desperate for work.
(Perhaps that's the reason why there's such horrorific work ethics throughout the UAE, in general?)
Anyway, now that I’m feeling a little better, I thought I’d share a few pictures I took with my mobile while I was there. I haven’t bothered to upload the ones from my camera, cause to be honest, I didn’t have the right charger (or adapter for the charger) and there aren’t many on there.
But here’s one of the things I love most about
…the absolutely beautiful outdoors.
I took these while on the ferry from Vancouver to Vancouver
It’s funny how you don’t realize how much you’re missing until it’s really gone. Since my trip, there’s a lot I want to share and a lot I’ve been thinking about but I simply don’t have the energy or will to bother just yet. What’s the point, when you know few are listening and fewer care?
