The Challenge: A Great Resume at Home, But Not Abroad

For many Indian professionals looking to work in the Middle East, especially the UAE, the biggest obstacle isn't experience, talent, or drive. It's localization. Our client, with over a decade of experience, had a CV that worked perfectly in India. But as he began applying for roles in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, something felt off.

"I wasn't getting any callbacks. Not even acknowledgments. I knew I was qualified—but clearly, my resume didn't translate to the UAE job market."

After three months of silence, he turned to Prosumely.

The Fix: Tailoring the Resume for UAE Recruiters

Step 1: Understanding Market Expectations

Our career branding consultant conducted a strategy session to analyze job descriptions from leading UAE firms and understand HR screening patterns.

Step 2: Language Localization

We translated his impact into UAE market language, ensuring keyword alignment for local hiring portals (Bayt, Naukrigulf) and compliance with ATS standards.

Step 3: Visual and Structural Revamp

His resume was redesigned to be clean, minimalistic, and executive-friendly, featuring bold headlines and metrics-backed bullet points to highlight transferable skills.
