A candidate’s CV is the most important document in the job application. It is the first official document that employers review as they attempt to know the candidate. Similarly, job seekers use their CV as a method of introducing themselves to the potential employer, sharing a synopsis of their professional life and career aspirations, and securing themselves a job interview, where they can more comprehensively discuss their work experience and their suitability for the vacant position. So, a CV must be powerful, complete, easy-to-read, and capable of sparking the employer’s curiosity.
Bayt.com, the Middle East’s #1 job site, held a one-day CV evaluation clinic to offer job seekers in Dubai and Amman free consultations on how to write the perfect CV. Professionals who are actively seeking employment in the UAE and Jordan received essential tips from Bayt.com experts on creating a CV that truly stands out—one that is both interesting and marketable to prospective employers.
Bayt.com’s mission is to equip job seekers with the skills and tools they need to build their careers of choice and is staying true to that mission by offering free CV clinics to professionals in Jordan and the UAE, with more upcoming sessions across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Recent studies have shown that unemployment rates in the MENA are among the highest in the world at around 23%.
