  • Episode 1: How to get your dream job after graduation

    One of the most daunting tasks young people face after university is finding their first job.

    In this debut episode of the How to Adult series, host Hala Nasar shares her post-university panic and talks to fellow graduates about job hunting in the UAE. Despite completing multiple internships, she shares the challenges, confusion and rejections that come with trying to enter the workforce.

    To offer practical solutions, Hala sits down with recruitment expert Kameron Hutchinson, who breaks down what fresh grads need to know to stand out. As a Dubai-based recruitment director, Mr Hutchinson shares tips on what makes a CV stand out, how fresh graduates can optimise their LinkedIn profiles, and the most effective job platforms in the UAE.

    Mr Hutchinson also addresses common misconceptions about cover letters, how to follow up after an interview, and how young professionals can network, even if they’re just starting out.

    How to Adult is a bi-weekly series helping young people tackle real-life situations. New episodes drop bi-weekly across podcast platforms, YouTube, and social media.

  • Death and Taxes
    Only 2 things in life are guaranteed. Death and Taxes. And if we're honest with ourselves, the only facts we know about taxes is that Uncle Sam collects them periodically and is unforgiving when you underpay.  And if that wasn't enough, at any given moment, laws can change to adapt to our economic climate. 
     
    This episode is an oversimplified crash course on taxes to give you a better understanding of what taxes are, where they go, who benefits from it, how to use it to your advantage, as well as learn how black sheep companies evade taxes and ruin it for the rest of us. 
     
    It's the ultimate episode for every living being who pays taxes. Follow me on instagram for more How to Adult behind the scenes.

  • Every Second Counts
    Every quote you’ve ever heard about time is true. Time is valuable, don’t waste it. Time is money. I ain’t got time for that...
     
     If time is the most valuable asset any person owns regardless of class or race, then we should all be masters of it.
     
     Lucky for you there’s a podcast for that. In this episode I cover time management which outlines the framework that will help you meet your goals.
     
    These practices are used by professionals all over the world to meet serious deadlines.

  • Eating Fruits Is The New Sexy
    Give me 10 min of your time, and I promise you that you won't think of fruit the same way!
    This episode is not just an informative episode where I throw an infinite amount of facts. I share fun stories and wild analogies that will revamp your outlook on fruit. Listener discretion is advised... 
    Your body is an incredible machine and deserves the right foods to convert into energy. But sometimes practical and functional are simply not enough motivation for you to make the right nutritional choices. 
    So let me play fruit's advocate. I'm figuratively developing a marketing department for fruit. Take a listen and hear how fruits can have functional benefits, but also how fruits can help your sex life! 
    Enjoy!
