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.
