We recently worked with a Dubai-based healthcare administration expert with over a decade of experience, helping her craft a fully optimized resume tailored for senior roles in hospital operations and cleaning management.
In this case study, we’ll dive deep into the challenges she was facing, the mistakes that were holding her back, and how we helped her build a complete job application profile to confidently target the UAE job market with our resume writing services.
Client Background and Objective
The client approached us in May 2025, opting for our Platinum Package. During the consultation call with our expert resume writer, she shared that:
- She was actively looking for job opportunities in Dubai.
- She had little understanding of the UAE job market.
- She was unsure how to position herself and lacked clarity on resume standards in the region.
Key Challenges Identified
During our initial consultation, we spotted several red flags that were hurting her chances of landing interviews.
1. Applying with a Generic Resume
Despite targeting three very different roles: Healthcare Administration, Branch Manager, Cosmetologist Clinic Manager she was using a single generic resume for all her job applications. This outdated approach significantly lowers the chances of getting noticed by employers.
Note: Every role has different expectations. Tailoring your resume for each role is critical, especially when applying through platforms that use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
2. Lack of Market Understanding
She was unfamiliar with how the Dubai job market works, including: the standard resume format preferred in the UAE, use of job portals and how to navigate them and how to position herself effectively for different industries.
3. Visual-Heavy Resume Design
The resume she was using was visually overloaded with graphics and design elements. While creative, such formats:
- Distract from the core content.
- Are not ATS-compatible, making it harder for her resume to get shortlisted.
4. No Keyword Optimization
Her resume lacked industry-specific keywords related to the roles she was applying for. This likely contributed to zero callbacks from recruiters.
Here’s How We Fixed These Issues
After understanding her needs, we recommended a tailored approach:
1. Created 3 Distinct Resumes
Since she was targeting three different roles, we designed three role-specific resumes, each aligned with the requirements and responsibilities of that particular job.
2. Used ATS-Friendly Resume Templates
We asked the client to select from our curated library of ATS-optimized resume templates, ensuring her resumes would pass through automated filters used by most UAE companies.
3. Maintained a One-Page Format
As per her preference, we kept all three resumes concise and limited to one page, while still capturing her 10+ years of experience effectively.
4. Added a Professional Photograph
Including a photo is a common practice in the UAE job market, and we made sure it aligned with the professional norms in Dubai.
