Tremendous response for DM stall at Careers UAE 2006

The sixth edition of the annual jobs fair was opened at the Dubai World Trade Centre on Sunday by UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Hashim Mohammed Quraishi, Head of Planning and Recruitment Section in the Personnel Department said the Municipality's participation in the exhibition comes as part of its efforts to attract qualified nationals in different fields related to Municipal work.

"We want them here to fill different vacant posts in the Municipality such as IT professionals, administrative supports, engineers, and other posts in the departments of Public Heath, Environment, Planning and Survey," he said.

"We have been associated with this exhibition since its beginning and we have been receiving highly positive response from the concerned candidates all these years,"

Quraishi said.

He said the Municipality participation in the exhibition is in three capacities. "First of all, we market Dubai Municipality explaining to the young nationals about the benefits of working with the Municipality. Secondly, we seek maximum number of CVs from qualified nationals, and thirdly, we offer consultancy to students on higher studies, to facilitate them to join Dubai Municipality later after completing the job requirements of the civic body," said Quraishi.

He said Dubai Municipality has been positively benefiting from its participation in the Career Exhibition for the last few years as the Personnel Department received a good number of applications from prospective national candidates for employment during the previous years.

Quraishi said it was also an opportunity to enhance the nationalization process and qualify suitable nationals for jobs that are easy for nationalization.

"The exhibition is the meeting place, where you can find the right people you want for the Municipality," he said.
