The latest garbage from the sandpit...
The following is an extract from the advert for this ops controller job in DXB...Bear in mind that they want all these qualifications but are only willing to pay "£40 - £48/day". Note also the currency, this could be interpreted as them looking for expats, maybe even from UK. Now who in their right mind would move to DXB for 4 quid an hour??, assuming they paid you their 'top' rate and you worked 12hrs/day, every day, for a month..you wouldn't even make a 1,500quid!!!
.
So, to anyone in FlyDubai reading this (it is a flydubai advert). Perhaps you should consider quoting your salaries in the local currency of the UAE, Dirhams, or better yet, quote it in Rupees!!...Because nobody is gonna come to DXB, with a degree AND experience for less than a McDonalds wage!
As follows....
