The 9 Deadly Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)
1. The “Spray and Pray” Method
👉 Sending the same CV to 100+ companies.
Solution: Target 5–10 companies and customize your application.
2. Fatal CV Format
👉 Using outdated, generic CVs.
Solution: Use a Qatar-standard 2-page CV with quantified business impact.
3. Salary Suicide
👉 Asking about salary too early or accepting the first offer.
Solution: Know Qatar market rates and negotiate professionally.
4. Documentation Disaster
👉 Missing proper attestations and documentation.
Solution: Prepare a complete, compliant documentation set, especially for Gulf jobs.
5. Cultural Catastrophe
👉 Failing to understand Qatar’s business etiquette and culture.
Solution: Learn and respect local culture, Islamic business practices, and hierarchy.
6. Skills Gap Lie
👉 Exaggerating skills or using fake certificates.
Solution: Present honest, verifiable skills — backed by real credentials.
7. Follow-Up Failure
👉 No follow-up after interviews.
Solution: Implement a structured professional follow-up sequence.
8. Network Neglect
👉 Relying only on job boards.
Solution: Build a strong Qatar professional network — many jobs come via referrals.
9. Timing Tragedy
👉 Applying at the wrong time.
Solution: Apply during optimal hiring periods — January–March and September–November.
