The UAE, like many other countries around the world, is slowly recovering from the pandemic threat, and its economy is also slowly returning back to its original, pre-pandemic state.
But now that the pandemic threat is gradually receding, what’re recruiters in the UAE looking for? We wrote an article that might just give you the insight you need to make the next move in your career.
In a Nutshell: Digital Transformation is the Name of the Game
Most countries are looking to transform on a digital level, which is why it’s such a great place to start and explore for anyone looking to gain a strong foothold in the job market. For this reason, many people are specializing in certain aspects of Technology like Cyberspace and Cloud Computing in hopes that they’ll have a better chance at landing a job in the already very competitive post-pandemic market. The UAE is continuously seeing a steady increase in hiring activity as the threat of the pandemic gradually recedes.
Here’s some insight into some of the job trends we’re seeing as 2022 comes to an end.
Cybersecurity and Cloud Security Professionals
Digital Transformation is a smart move on the UAE government’s part; a great move towards becoming a more agile nation. However, the online world comes with its own set of challenges, one of them being cybersecurity with certain governments around the world moving towards becoming a more digital nation, tech companies are constantly coming up with innovative software that will help secure government networks and keep online documents safe.
With that said, Cybersecurity—as well as Cloud Security—Specialists are increasingly becoming more in demand as the UAE slowly begins its transition into the Digital World.
Digital Education Specialist
While the UAE—as of the writing of this article—is slowly lifting the mask-wearing mandate all over the country, residents and tourists who test positive upon their arrival are still required to follow quarantine guidelines. And that also applies to schools across the country; students who test positive or even those who might have come into contact with someone with a positive test result would have to stay home and learn from a distance.
Schools in UAE are in need of proper guidance and instruction on how to deliver a quality learning experience online, and so it goes without saying that anyone with a specialty in Digital Education highlighted on their CV will get the upper hand.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Developer
As we’ve mentioned earlier, Digital Transformation and moving the nation towards a more digital lifestyle has become a recurring theme for most countries in the past decade, the UAE included. AI Developers can help companies in the UAE become more nuanced in the way they function in the online sphere, and companies are always on the lookout for advanced AI technologies and software that can make better use of the valuable data they collect on their clients and customers.
