subject: Bey3.com: Making The Middle East Job Search That Much Easier [print this page] Every year in Lebanon, fresh college graduates are finding it increasingly harder to find jobs in Lebanon, and even harder to find jobs in their specific fields. The trend of highly educated and qualified graduates leaving Lebanon to find stable and better paying jobs in the Gulf region, among other far away countries, is one that doesnt seem to be slowing down anytime soon. However, with the financial crisis affecting almost every country in the world, its proving difficult finding jobs elsewhere as well.
Case in point: At a Lebanon job fair a few months ago, employment professionals noted a big gap in the students expectations, and the reality that awaits them in the Lebanon job market. The president of an organization that helps to fight unemployment is worried that the Lebanese job market cannot absorb all these new graduates, especially in their chosen fields: For example, in the academic year 2008-2009, 14.000 students in Lebanon graduated in French and English Literature, where will they work? What can they do? We need professionals in plumbing, agriculture, electricity, and car mechanics.
In addition to fresh graduates, most people who attended this job fair were from abroad, from places such as the Gulf, where they had lost their jobs due to the crisis, and were back in Lebanon searching for new opportunities.
The grim reality can be seen on recruitment websites. In comparison with the number of CVs that were posted before the crisis, and now, one can see a huge increase. Before the crisis there were an average of 15 CVs posted per day, and now it easily averages 50 CVs per day, on one site alone. Disillusioned, these people are forced to accept extremely low salaries or are trying their luck at jobs in Sales or Marketing even if they have studied Engineering or Literature four 4 years.
Another issue is that other than at these Beirut job fairs held once every few months, sometimes in places too remote for most people to attend, the job search itself is a challenge. There are newspapers in Arabic, one English language newspaper, a few classifieds websites, but none that seem to cater to easily and conveniently finding exactly what the person is looking for, in both English and ArabicThe solution to that is right here, with Bey3.com.
