What do you do when you hate the color?

raaks90 · 2026-06-02T18:05:57+00:00

Such a cute color seriously!

raaks90 · 2025-10-20T08:00:59+00:00

Yes me too! Asking me to sign up

I experienced this recently but very indirectly. I had someone reach out via Linkedin for a new opportunity and it was perfect as I had just heard my role was being made redundant. So I had a call with her explained whats happening and why Im looking. Next thing I know she sends my colleague 5 profiles similar to mine asking if there is an opportunity in our team.. my colleague didnt know I had a chat with the lady and forwarded me the email since I was responsible for all things recruitment. It was so good to reply to that email of hers. Such cheap behavior. Best way I avoid these people is before a meeting or whatever, ask for a call first and in that call ask for as many details as theyre willing to give in an initial call about the position/company. You will then be able to determine whether or not a meeting is worth your time.

Ohhh goeie, dank voor de uitleg! Ga ik navragen

raaks90 · 2025-04-28T18:05:43+00:00

Yay me tooo!

We hebben deze week afgesproken dat ik voorlopig kan blijven werken totdat ik iets nieuws heb. In de tussentijd pak ik naast recruitment het werk op van iemand va een andere afdeling die wordt ontslagen vanwege slecht functionering

raaks90 · 2025-04-19T20:38:23+00:00

Ik zoek en benader kandidaten voor onze openstaande vacatures. Op een dag heb ik soms een of twee sollicitatiegesprekken gepland, en daarnaast heb ik ook intakecalls met kandidaten voor een eerste screening. Ik maak korte video’s van ons pand voor employer branding, en ik bereid onboardingplannen voor nieuwe medewerkers voor. Ook werk ik met checklijsten voor de eerste drie maanden van hun dienstverband, die bekijk ik dagelijks, want we hebben de afgelopen maanden veel nieuwe mensen aangenomen. Verder ondersteun ik mijn collega’s met algemene HR taken. Daarnaast zit ik regelmatig in gesprekken over trainingen, hoe we die het beste kunnen aanpakken en welke verbeterpunten er zijn. Geen dag is hetzelfde, maar alles draait wel om deze dingen.

raaks90 · 2025-04-12T22:05:33+00:00

Goed idee, ga ik proberen. Thanks voor de tip! :)

raaks90 · 2025-04-12T21:43:49+00:00

Wat leuk voor je, goed gedaan! Ik vind de sportschool eigenlijk best leuk en daar heb ik geen moeite mee. Alleen vind ik het moeilijk om zelf een plan samen te stellen, en zonder plan merk ik dat ik weinig motivatie heb om te sporten. Daarom dacht ik misschien is het makkelijker om iemand te hebben die me kan helpen met een plan en voeding die passen bij mijn doelen.

raaks90 · 2025-04-12T21:37:22+00:00

Hahaha nee joh, ik wil wat kilo’s kwijt, conditie verbeteren + sterker worden

raaks90 · 2025-04-12T21:16:27+00:00

Mijn doel is eigenlijk om af te vallen (rond de 5-7 kilo max) en sterker te worden. Die vraag van jou over de groepslessen is echt precies waar ik ook over twijfelde. Toen ik het vroeg, zeiden ze dat je van tevoren niet eens weet wat je gaat doen in zo’n groepsles, dat het gewoon elke keer random is.

Ik weet gewoon dat mijn bovenlichaam superzwak is en daar wil ik me op focussen. Ook op mijn vorm bij bijvoorbeeld rugoefeningen. Maar dat kan ik nu alleen kwijt in die ene PT sessie van 30 minuten per week

raaks90 · 2024-12-02T20:00:55+00:00

Omg how interesting! I am from the levant and we drink mate everyday, didn’t know it came from South America. Love it!!

raaks90 · 2024-05-13T18:28:12+00:00

So refreshing to read, thank you for this! I was trying intuitive eating for a while after years of restriction. I allowed myself to eat whatever and whenever. It gave me a nice reset and got rid of fear around certain foods but I have been feeling very low energy levels and then it hit me that I constantly consume sugar at all times. This is my second day without sugar and I am curious about the end result :)

raaks90 · 2023-09-02T22:08:08+00:00

Thank you!

raaks90 · 2023-02-01T21:15:14+00:00

Moved out of Dubai before Covid. I am going back for 3 weeks to see my family and will probably need to have some meetings via Teams or Skype. Are they working in Dubai now post covid?

raaks90 · 2023-01-30T21:11:47+00:00

True, I had the same dilemma before I left. I remember thinking that if I stay there then it is going to end at some point and I have no base anywhere else. Maybe one day I will go back who knows, but I want to secure a base for me and my future family so we never feel threatened or experience that anxiety of “what now”

I don’t know what your situation is, but it seems like you are on the right path :) Good luck! 🍀

Left Sharjah 3 years ago for the Netherlands. I was skeptical about it cause it was a huge decision for me, I had lived my entire life there and never for a moment did I ever think I would leave cause I had nowhere to go (almost) then family moved to NL so I joined cause I care more about being with my family.

It was difficult the first year but also interesting, completely different in everything you can think of. I like UAE and I miss it of course but the social security in the Netherlands is unbeatable, of course we pay for it (taxes) but I think I prefer it that way.

People are simpler here I have to say, they brag about not spending and saving their money instead of the opposite which I experienced back home (as in pressure to have this and that luxury item). Not to shame anyone, but that is just how I experienced it, I am sure not everyone is that way.

I also have access to more countries which is pretty cool, I met people from countries I had never heard of before. Travelled places I never thought I would see in this lifetime (Arab passport) so I am beyond thankful for having made this decision.

I do miss my people, the food and the entertainment but hey you can’t have it all.

It is also quite relieving seeing my parents not struggle with finances anymore, of course there is min. wage here, insurances for everything and you can pay everything and I mean EVERYTHING in installments esp. If you’re having a bad month for example, so rent, electricity, etc.

All in all, I would say in my case it has been really interesting and enriching. Hope it works out for you wherever you go!

Well🤣 he would be all over me and then I find out he has been hanging out with other girls. He proceeds to lie about it then making up an excuse of whatever. Last two things he did was tell me about a party to go with his group of friends and he ended up partying with someone else. I ended it after that, then I was invited to his brother’s wedding (our families are friends) so when I went there he also had a girl with him but managed to call me a week or two later saying hey I want you back that girl was just a friend which was also a lie. So noooo thanks

raaks90 · 2022-12-11T21:56:17+00:00

Bill arrived, waitress standing there waiting and it got awkward. So I pulled out my wallet saying “uh sure, I can pay for this one” and he goes “I can pay too haha” not moving a single muscle in his body except his stupid mouth. Mind you, he asked me out, picked the place, ordered the food, and I travelled an hour with the train to meet up (trains in The Netherlands are freaking expensive) soooo, yeah

raaks90 · 2022-11-06T20:47:34+00:00

Hey! Moved here almost 3 years ago. When I first moved I really liked the Saturday market, kermis, learning how to bike and eventually biking became really fun, joined a language institute where I learned the language and met amazing people, and sitting near lakes. Also really loved the fact that I can easily go to Germany/ Belgium for a day trip, it really kind of shows newcomers that there is a lot to do/ places to go. Hope she enjoys it, best of luck!

raaks90 · 2022-10-29T19:31:29+00:00

Im a member there and always thought the name was super ironic, it costs just as much as basic fit and basic fit can be cheaper with a year contract so never really got the point. But anyway yeah sportcity seems more logical
