Mini report- Youths put skills ahead of money

The most important factor for Emirati youths when considering a job is, 30 per cent of participants said the opportunity for growth and promotion. And only 10 per cent said they would consider salary first. A mere 2 per cent said working hours were the most important criterion. Everyone is always saying that Emiratis only consider working hours and salary. And this result shows us they have the wrong idea about Emirati youths. There are a lot of exhibitions for jobs like Tawdheef and Najah and these two exhibitions help Emirati Youths to find jobs in the government sector and in the private sector. A survey of Emirati youth found that nearly 70 per cent of respondents consider factors other than salary and benefits to be the most important criteria when deciding on a job.

The survey, which was conducted in the capital as part of an Emirati youth forum, revealed that 30 per cent of the university students and fresh graduates polled place utmost importance on growth and promotion opportunities when selecting a job. Unfortunately, Emirati youth are unaware of development opportunities in the private sector companies. On the other hand, private sector employers mistakenly believe that Emirati youth place more emphasis on salary, benefits and working hours.

I think Emirati youths should go and work in the private sector to develop their skills and to take experience because in the private sector there are a lot of challenges more than in the government sector because in private companies they are looking for good quality employees and the company should make profits not like government sector; especially nowadays you can find jobs with more features in the private sector.

The Ras-al khaimah pearls Museum

There are many ancient myths about the precious pearl, but two local legends say she has two mothers. One says she is Bint Al Matar daughter of the Rain, the other claims she is Bint Al Qamar, daughter of the moon. Everything from the legends surrounding the pearl, its history as a treasure sought by merchants and monarchs across the world, its impact on the local culture and economy can be found in RAK’s new pearl museum. RAK historically known before as Julfar, was the capital of pearl trading. There is a replica of a document dated 1654, from the governor general in Batavia (Jakarta, Indonesia) to directors of the Dutch East India Company in the Netherlands

Despite precautions, many divers suffered from great illness later on in their life. They wore no protection for their eyes and ears, and suffered later on from blindness and deafness. It was really hard work and many suffered and even died on the job.

The 40-metre-boat, called a jalbout, includes everything a pearl divers needed, from an oven to a cannon that would be fired to signal the return of divers from a four-month and 10-day diving season in the summer, and took with them drums, to keep themselves entertained.

On the first floor is a historical journey, including a detailed showcase of tools and gear worn by pearl divers.

The museum's second floor is lined with displays of the world's famous pearls, and instruction on how to distinguish natural and cultured pearls.
