Al Ain

03:21 Posted by Unknown No comments


Al Ain was once a vital oasis on the caravan route from the UAE to Oman. The history of the 'Oasis City,' the emirate's heritage heartland and one of the world's oldest permanently inhabited settlements, can be explored through visits to the Al Ain forts (one of which has now been transformed into an arts centre), the Al Ain National Museum and a trip to theprehistoric tombs at Hili Fort -known to be over 4,000 years old.

Other attractions include the Al Ain oasis, Al Ain Wildlife Park & Resort, the camel market -one of the last few remaining, Wadi Adventure, a man-made white water rafting, kayaking and surfing playground in the shadow of Jebel Hafeet, and the world's most advanced go-karting facilities, for a taste of the fast track. For family fun, try the newly renovated Hili Fun-City, the Gulf's oldest theme park, which now offers one of the cheapest days out around, with entry no more than AED 40 (US$ 11).

    When writing a curriculum vitae it's important to include all the right information so the hiring manager can see, at first glance, why you are a strong candidate for the job.
    What information should a CV include?
    • Personal details. Most CVs start with these but take care to avoid superfluous details, such as religious affiliation, children's names and so on.
    • Education and qualifications. Take care to include the names of institutions and dates attended in reverse order; university before school results.
    • Work experience. The most widely accepted style of employment record is the chronological CV. Career history is presented in reverse date order starting with most recent. Achievements and responsibilities are listed against each role. More emphasis/information should be put on more recent jobs.
    • Skills. Include computer skills and (genuine) foreign language skills and any other recent training/development that is relevant to the role applied for.
    • Hobbies and Interests. Keep this section short.
    • Referees. These can simply be 'Available on request'.
      • How long should a CV be?
      A good curriculum vitae should ideally cover no more than two pages and never more than three. Aim to ensure the content is clear, structured, concise and relevant. Using bullet points rather than full sentences can help minimize word usage.
