Hello People, I am an HR with 3 years of experience and I am open to a Challenging HR role post 2.5 Years of Maternity & Nurturing Break and my Gap is costing me so much that it has started making me feel demotivated and anxious as I am not getting Interview calls. Can any Dubai Folks vouch for me for an HR Generalist or HR Manager role?

Where are you located?

I reside in Dubai.

So sorry you're going through this! It's really unfair that a maternity break would cost you opportunities. Are you including the reason for this gap in your applications? You'd think HR teams would know better than to use that to make decisions about interviews.

Yes I have mentioned it on my resume as well as my Cover letter but still no luck.

I’ve recently transitioned from Travel Customer Service role (8 YOE) to Analyst in the same LOB. Earlier I resolved travel queries through calls/emails, but now my role is to analyse travel spending on Amex cards. Now I want to remain in analysis field and grow.

Any suggestions?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
