Hi Loy,


I am an HR professional from XYZ,just moved to Dubai last month and on the lookout for a job. Came across your articles and videos on FB.

Wanted to check on your fee amount for a resume makeover and the 3-4 month training that you mentioned about on your page and an outline of what's covered under that training. 

Have been putting off writing to you until later since the last two weeks or so,as I am not sure I will be able to afford the fees right now, my husband is the only earning member currently and we are just about managing to make ends meet and live at Sharjah with my 2 year old kid. Dubai is a very very expensive city specially for newbies(my husband has been working here for a year),we are learning the ropes and trying to keep our heads above water and its been a tough fight so far.

I was nervous about writing in as I didn't want to add up to the people on your list who ask you about the charges and sheepishly shy away,much to you your obvious discontent. If not now ,maybe once I get my first job,but I do want to attend the training.Your ideas of personal branding are very practical,need of the hour,cut to the point,no nonsense kind of stuff.

Have gone through the articles on your page for resume tips and tried to incorporate a few things,but I'm sure its a far cry from what you'd call a good cv, but thank you for sharing your ideas there,it helped better my resume. Have started applying through all the job sites,there are vacancies but I know 3 things are going against me so far, no UAE experience, don't know Arabic and the UAE labor law knowledge, hopefully something will click and soon all the same :-)

Thanks to you ,I am finally trying to create my linked in account,have been shying away from it knowing fully well as an HR professional that it was a stupid thing to do (I can almost see your expression of disbelief :-)) ,but finally getting around to doing it ,hopefully will manage to put up a decent page :-),so I mean it,thank you Loy.

Please let me know the resume makeover charges and the training charges separately so that if I can atleast take up one part for now ,will try and do that.

Thank you for taking out time to read the long mail  and here's wishing you  all the best with your work.

Best Regards,
