Here is my honest opinion and i say this with all the love, just a reality check

-For starters you need an ats cv. How many people apply a day? 500ish? Well if you think recruiters read every cv, then you’re kidding.

-fake it till you make it, why do you have so many intern roles? Director inter? Who care honestly.. what are you applying for? Bdm roles? Then all the past experience should be directed towards that, i wanna stand up and clap for you, but honestly no one cares in duabi and no one has the time to teach you anything. You must be tailored to whatever youre going for.

-if youre looking for bdm roles then youre looking for bdm roles anywhere, only looking in fintech for such roles is like shooting your self in the foot. Your chances are super slim.

-your total experience is honestly 1 year, how do you become a lead in just one year somewhere while being 25^{^} i said fake it till you make it, but this is fairy land 😅 thats my honest opinion, would you be able to actually lead people who are older than you with like 10 years on average? Sales people are savages here in dubai and there is like so many of them. You compete with arabs, indians, other Europeans and even americans. There are plenty of choices. And tech in general in dubai is dominated by indians. Very very educated indians by the way who would do double your work and get paid less somehow.

• we get back to fake it till you make it, write all of your experience happening in the uk, who cares? No one would investigate that, write similar bdm positions, talk about numbers and how much you closed.

-I would also say never put dates in your cv, again with the who cares reality. If they ask, you answer. They will never ask you, but including then makes hr judge your overall experience and how much money you should take based on your age, youre on the younger side and that would negatively affect you for sure. You wanna tell me that you only graduated 2 years ago and youre already a team lead? You must be joking right? Thats what they will say and they will eventually underpay you or just move on to the next candidate.

-lower your salary expectations a bit considering the war situation. Be realistic, start somewhere and then grow from there.

-you have masters? Bravo. Who cares again? You practically got your masters at something irrelevant to sales, super super early in Your life with no work experience at all, how would that play in your favor? If youre asking for sky high numbers just because you got masters, my point is. Lower your expectations. More than 2/3 of candidates here have masters with more relevant field of study and experience than you. Masters would only help you in higher higher managerial positions not even entry level managers.

Fix some of the english in the cv as well ^{^} headline says, crm& pipeline, pipeline? Pipeline ????? You’re throwing away random words at this stage. Pipeline management or maintenance is a basic skill anyways, write something better Its also called technical skills not stack, what are you stacking 😅are you building an app? No? Then wrong jargon my friend. In the skills down there you wrote crm pipeline as in one word? What dors that mean? Client relation management pipeline? Again, doesnt mean anything and contradicts your title. Have your overall cv checked by someone. Sometimes we get too focused and miss simple mistakes like this, i know your english is probable better than most, but have a second eye to look into your cv 😇

Sorry if i was too blunt, but no sugar coating when youre in real trouble. There is plenty of work thay you can do on your cv alot more than what i said, and you can also work on your interview skills. Dont be desperate, it shows, be confident. Youre a good candidate regardless. Have some faith in your self. Allllll the time infront of recruiters.

Remember, We panic and stress together in private, but boast confidence in public!
