How to Find a Good Career Counsellor

Author: admin - Categories: Careers - Tags:

Our career is very important for most of us. Therefore it is no surprise that when we want help with our career, we look for the best career counsellor expertise. None of us want to trust just anyone when it comes to our career. So what should you look for in a career counsellor? The first thing is to see the education and training the person has. Ideally, you want them to have advanced degrees from recognised universities. Also look for specialised training/certification from prominent associations in the field. Then you should see how experienced the person is and what areas of career counselling they typically deal with. Following that, a search on google is always a good idea. The search results will usually give you a good picture of the level of expertise of the person and what other people are saying about them. Also have a look at their LinkedIn profile to see how it looks.

In the past three years, the United Arab Emirates had welcomed different foreigners all over the world. People from all over the world are lured to the wonderful cities of UAE, most especially in Dubai where you can find stupendous architecture, exotic food, good paying jobs and warm people. These are only few of the general reasons why foreigners settle in Dubai.

The most number of expatriates in Dubai are from Asia, Europe and North America. Dubai offers an excellent employment system and lots of work opportunities for skilled professionals that are high paying and fulfilling. Plus, Dubai has a high standard of living, tax free salary and good climate. Aside from this, they offer health care and international school benefits for expatriates so the need for education and health is not deprived.

Taking up recreational activities is the best way for a newcomer in Dubai to make new friends and socialize. Furthermore, they give you time to get to know the culture, lifestyle and different policies of the company you are working at and the whole of the city as well.

The Nature of a Credit Controller Job

Author: admin - Categories: Careers - Tags:

All jobs require a certain amount of skill, dedication and a little amount of creativity. It is true when they say that when you love your job, it will love you back. I have credit controller job and even though it can be challenging at times, it is still an ideal position and has often been rewarding. I work under our finance department and my task is to deal with our company’s debtors. I handle transactions over the phone but it can also require me to go out and so some field work. The main challenge is tracking down customers who are difficult to get a hold of over the phone. Contacting customers in debt calls for some customer service skills, a talent in negotiating and a willingness to extend empathy. Goals and target conversions are always part of my job and it keeps me motivated because I know that not only do I help our company in getting back the money owed but also my customers in getting their accounts settled and current.
