Job applicants from across the country are flocking to the company, excited by the prospect of working for the UAE's new telecommunications company.

du Chairman Ahmad bin Byat said that almost 15,000 job applications had been received through du's website since the brand was launched on February 21.

'We value all applications and it is very gratifying that so many people want to work for du. It reflects the impact du is having on the UAE, its people and the economy. People are eager to work for us and consumers are eager for our services to begin later in the year.'

'Our HR team will examine every CV received and contact the people we want to talk to. We want to attract the best and brightest talent in the UAE. Every job seeker is valuable to du and we value their experience and talent.

'We don't over promise and cannot guarantee a role for everyone today, but every application will be considered unsuccessful applicants' details will be kept on file for possible roles in the future,' he said.

Jobs are currently available in several business units with roles in sales, marketing, technology, finance, procurement, among others.

du CEO Osman Sultan said the company was proud to have such a great influx of applications. 'The human capital is a key foundation of this company and it is an honour and responsibility to have attracted so much interest from job seekers. Our human resources department will be working tirelessly to meet the challenge of so many applications.'

Sultan advised unsuccessful applicants not to be disheartened and to keep checking the du website.
