A Paradigm Shift on Part-time Jobs Here


It is a good news that now employees can work multiple part-time jobs without the approval of the original employer in the UAE. The employees must have "university degree and specialized in professions that require scientific, technical and administrative skills".

This is really a great boost to economic growth of those who take part-time jobs as various opportunities contribute to their wealth generation. They can either spend their money earned in the country where they reside, transmit money to families or save in the bank.

I just hope that time will come it will open to all employees as those in lower levels also require same opportunities to earn more.

It will be a good idea also that investors / businessmen particularly in the start-ups can take part-time jobs, too. This is another way for them to increase their resources to invest more in their businesses so they won't resort to borrowing money 100%. It is a chance to hone their skills and have an immersion experience so they have a better feel of which business to invest in for future consideration.

With this shift, the UAE government indeed helps people to be more productive and convert their time to revenues at maximum level. Domestic tourism can be aggressively promoted and supported by residents as they have resources to have rest and recreation in the country.

What if supermarkets offer part-time jobs in return for part-timers' basic needs in form of gift vouchers?

What if hospitals offer part-time jobs for a free health insurance?

What if online businesses offer home-based related jobs for some food vouchers in leading chain restaurants?

What if schools offer part-time jobs in return for a free course?

What if hotels offer part-time jobs to promote their hotels in return for a weekend staycation with free massage?

What if banks offer part-time jobs so their borrowers struggling to pay them can reduce their debts?

What if real estate companies offer part-time jobs so that part-timers can have an opportunity to build their dream home?

What if tourism companies offer part-time jobs for plane tickets?

What if jewelry sellers offer a platform for online jewelry marketers so all expatriates will go back home each with a gold investment?

Indeed we can think of many things we need, and many services we can offer, but we need responsive cooperators to open the multi-channels for such amazing exchanges of values. We are used to having money as a common instrument to exchange something for something else because it can be counted, but there is another option, and maybe more, to do so.

There are things that have priceless value like good health, education, rest and relaxation, moments that cannot be recreated, freedom from debts, etc.

Am passionately mesmerized by change in paradigms resulting to massive transformation to make human lives better.

"Wasting of Women's Talents Must Cease"

Here I am in a four-cornered room, thinking of many things that I can do considering my talents, but I cannot utilize to the fullest due to some obstacles which are not just in the mind but real. I am woman -- I know I have a power inside me yet I feel vulnerable. There is an interesting article published in Gulf News, "In the Middle East, Momentum for Women Must Pick Up Speed" written by Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, dated 31 May 2018. Very timely, indeed, that I saw this article few minutes back. I am inspired to read similar write-ups promoting advocacy on importance of empowering women by giving them solid support. Can we quantify wasted women's talents? Maybe we can in terms of lost opportunities. Or can we enumerate wasted women's talents if we cannot quantify them? There are women who are full-time mothers and housewives, either by choice or by tradition or both. We know that being so is indeed a tiring unpaid job for many women. For some they ...

Of Ginger-Lemon Water, and A/C Off

  And so I am now again drinking a lot of hot lemon tea with ginger. It will help improve my health immunity .  WebMD.com says, " Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants, which both have immunity-boosting properties. Ginger also has immunity-boosting properties and can guard against some bacteria." Am coughing when my back is sweating. The air conditioner is switched off again. If you are in the Gulf area, even if it is December it is still hot. There are times when it is even hotter inside my partitioned room with a window facing the sun, no building near ours to block the scorching heat -- than the actual temperature outside. I have a temperature app in my mobile phone and I regularly check it. When I switch on the air conditioner, somebody else switches it off. (I remember when we transferred to the our previous flat and I was told that the A/C was centralized, 24/7 on. I was grateful because the heat of human bodies, the lights, their gadgets -- laptops and m...

'Hotelcation' and More

My youngest daughter surprised me with the good news that she was allowed to go on Eid vacation for some days. She badly needed rest and relaxation for a work-life balance. It was very hot here in the UAE when we got blissfully reunited at 2 PM.  It was Eid so most hotels nearby were either fully booked, or if not, their room rate boards showed AED800/day +/-. My frugal daughter stepped back when she saw 'towering' figures. A I watched my Buninay eating halohalo in our meeting place, a restaurant serving Filipino foods, I held my tears back. She ordered 'mixed-with-everything' fried rice, grilled squid and  kinilaw  (raw fish with vinegar, chili and chopped onions).  Memories of her childhood flooded in my mind. How time flies! My then-baby-who-is-now-a-lady wanted to spoil me. Felt truly blessed beyond words. We hopped to Seattle's Best in the mall near the mosque. While indulging myself with my favorite Cinnabon bites and strawberry smoothies, and my ol...
