Right now,when applying to UAE jobs, it’s important to know whether or not a candidate has the educational requirements to meet the job specifications, and how those qualifications are internationally recognized (if the candidate has studied outside of the UAE). Candidates should list their qualifications as well as the college names and countries at which those qualifications were obtained.
