When I arrived here in Dubai, I don't really have any idea of what my life will be. I just have faith. Let me tell you that when I went here, I was on VV. Well, visit visa. How it works? You will be given at least 30 days to find a work so you can earn your employment visa and be legal working in this country. Time pressure, seems like the clock is always ticking that you need to mark out your calendar to count how many days left before it expire. Some were lucky to easily find a job, some were not. I belong to the lucky ones. Not that I am trying to be boastful about it. I can say, I worked hard just to get a job. I was sitting in front of the computer the entire day wondering which site I can visit to submit my CV. There's quite a number of websites where you can attach your CV but only few will call you for an interview. That was based on my experience. I submitted my CV for like 2o0 different companies a day and did not receive any call. I roamed around different places, got lost, made a mistake in riding the Metro and simply wandering around. On my first week, it was damn difficult. I searched every web and called each number just to arrange an interview but most of them were quite full or if not already hired someone. And I never lose hope. I kept on checking various sites everyday. Take note, my clothes were still on my bag. No time to arrange it. I was fully concentrated to have a job. I asked some of the friends I have here. My cousin uses her connections. Inquire other Filipinos working here. I was fortunate the luck is at my side. My cousin's friend referred me to the comapny where she's working. The name of the company is Ahdab International Luxury Transport. The business evolves around renting cars and chauffeur service. I got the job. I was hired. The feeling is so unexplainable. Not really fulfiiled but somehow okay. Nothing comes easy. I still have days where I find it hard to understand everything. Hey, I don't know about cars. As the day passes by, I am getting used to it. I am learning. Till I was appointed as a desk supervisor at Grand Hyatt Hotel. What a privilege working inside a five-star hotel. And my journey continues.
