Hello all. I have applied for almost 600 jobs over LinkedIn since we shifted to Dubai in January 2022, I received a call back only from 1 employer, I went through the interview process with them but the result was rejection. It's been 8 months since the move but there is no luck in finding a job here in the HR domain. Can someone help me with understanding the market in the UAE related to the HR domain?
