In this episode, we sit down with Ahmed AlDhraif. A young Emirati professional in HR whose LinkedIn presence has quietly grown to over 160,000 followers. What makes Ahmed’s story remarkable? He never set out to build a personal brand... and yet, he’s built one of the most authentic voices in the region.
In this episode, we talk about:
→ How his personal brand and presence took shape organically
→ What most job seekers in the UAE are currently getting wrong
→ The truth about CVs — and why they’re not what gets you hired
→ What actually helps you stand out in the job market today
→ His personal experience navigating hiring from both sides: as a recruiter and a candidate
If you're trying to get hired, grow your visibility, or figure out where to start, then this conversation is packed with insights that cut through the noise.
