Working on the applicant for the job, or pushing the citizen to reject the job opportunity.

Citizens Muhammad Saif Abdul Rahman, Nasser Saeed Al-Ali, and Maryam Hamad Al-Zaabi agreed that there are good job opportunities in the private sector that are offered by job fairs supervised by the Ministry, because the institutions in which they participate are serious about Emiratisation, and their employment procedures are transparent, starting from receiving employment applications. Through job interviews that the Ministry closely follows, and ending with employment procedures and agreements.

Minor, or change in the name or nature of work.

They explained that a government agency assuming full supervision over employment interviews with citizens would give the interview a serious character, and reveal the truth about allegations that the citizen is the one who refuses the job.

On the other hand, the Ministry stated that the follow-up of interviews for the employment of citizens with private employers is a major part of its tasks and strategy to raise the rates of Emiratisation in the private sector, stressing that it reviews all establishments regarding the results of job interviews for citizens who nominate them to work in them, whether through fairs and days of employment or through “Tawteen” platform, and obliges it to disclose the reasons for rejecting the applicant (if it is rejected).

She pointed out that it has a plan for dealing with young cadres of citizens who were not successful in job interviews, as the Ministry would follow up on them and provide other opportunities for them by identifying the reasons for rejection, providing professional counseling and training, and providing other opportunities for interviews.

The Ministry called on young people looking for employment opportunities to register with its Tawteen portal, and to create their own accounts that include their CVs, taking into account the continuous monitoring of the account.

It stated that it has established mechanisms and rules to deal with job opportunities and interviews provided by the “Tawteen” portal for citizens looking for work, the most prominent of which is that the job seeker should not be absent from attending any service provided to him for more than three times, and that he should not be absent from attending job interviews more than twice, and not be refused Three suitable job opportunities from different parties, and that a suitable work contract is not refused, and that the job seeker is ready to receive the job within a period not exceeding two weeks from the date of being informed of the job opportunity.
