It is said that Dubai is a land of opportunities. Everyday thousands of expatriates land in Dubai with dreams of getting on a job, starting a business or generate money in some way. While there are plenty of jobs in Dubai, not all are dream jobs. In fact, most employers waste no effort to exploit the workforce.
A job ad was recently published at Dubizzle, one of the leading classified websites in Dubai. The ad asked for an awesome web programmer.

Wonder what this employer was thinking when posting this job at Dubizzle.
I think shame on this employer, who have hired such employees with such a high standard of English, and secondly this generous employer paying web developer just DHS 2000, still people are dying for this jobs. Thousands of applications just get receive within few hours after the job uploaded.
You would still see a long line of interview candidates… ?
