Every year, thousands of students graduate from third-level education here in Ireland and are faced with the harsh reality of life after college.  Some Graduates will take a year to travel the world, some will begin jobs with companies they worked with during an internship, but for most, they will need to try and find a job they like, with a company that will hire them. In this blog we discuss some handy ways students can try and find a job they enjoy and that will benefit their future careers. 


This year I will be graduating from University College Dublin, and while I had predicted most of the stressful elements of final year (exams, tight deadlines, late nights in the library), one headache I hadn’t anticipated was having to apply for jobs and graduate programmes. The pressure of finding a job I would enjoy was daunting and it certainly wasn’t aided by friends and family asking me, “ So, what are your plans for next year?”, at every available opportunity.

Final year in college is a crazy time. Everyone is trying to fit so much in because it might be their last year in college, but everyone is also worrying about grades because it’s the year that counts the most. At this stage, a lot of students might have a graduate job lined up from completing an internship, but a lot of people are left with no job and no idea where to start looking. There is an endless amount of information and advice out there to help students so I have summarised it below, from trying to decide on what roles to apply for to nailing that final interview and securing that offer.

Pathfinders: Finding Dubai

Everything You Need to Know About This Modern Emirate!
 
 
Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the UAE. Out of the population of 9.2 million, expatriates contribute approximately 7.8 million. The culture fusion in Dubai makes everyone from everywhere welcome and that is certainly how I felt when I travelled there for a week in January 2020. 
 
Spots to Stay 
 
I stayed in the 5 star JA Ocean View Hotel, a Jumeriah Beach Residence. We booked a Superior Twin Room for myself and my friend and it was perfect. The beauty of this room is that every room faces onto the sea so nobody pays extra for a sea view room, its a given. The photo below is a photo I took from the balcony. I would recommend staying in the JBR area and travelling to Downtown Dubai and Old Dubai, Deira when you want to sight see and not vice versa.  Other hotel recommendations are the Sofitel, JBR Dubai or the Habtoor Grand Resort. As a young traveller, they are all of similar middle budget and won't blow you out of the water. They all provide beach bags with umbrellas for you to set up on the beach free of charge.
 
 
Cultural Differences and Customs
 
Before we went to Dubai, people were warning us that we could never wear a skirt above our knee and that our shoulders would need to be constantly covered. This however we found to be highly dramatic. You can wear summer attire in all tourist locations and swimwear on the beach. You need to wear a t-shirt and longer skirt in malls and more suburban areas of Dubai and cover up when you go into beach side bars and cafes, you cannot lounge in your bikini. When visiting a mosque, you must be completely covered but if it is a tourist attraction, you will be provided with such attire. You should not show public affection in public or be obnoxiously loud but there is signage to remind you. If I did not know any of this in advance I would not be able to notice anything different versus a holiday in Spain. In regards to tipping, it is similar to America in that tips are expected and you are often prompted to tip. It is not as pressured as America however and it is not expected in casual dining locations. 
 
Attractions - what to do besides bathe
 
Below is a list of everything we got up to, I will include links of where we booked each excursion if possible: 
 
We booked using the above link and it was amazing, this is what you can expect (perfect for Instagram pictures😉) 
 
It takes a whole day so factor this in when building an itinerary before you leave home!
 
 
This was a fantastic way to spend 1.5 hours and you get to see the Palm, The Burj al Arab and spectacular views of Jumierah Beach.
 
 
 
 
This was the best foo d I had in  Dub ai. So elegant, tasty and an amazing experience. The Atlantis is incredible and I can't wait to be able to stay ther e one day, ho pefully😂👏
 
 
 
Breathtaking views of Downtown Dubai from 135 floors up, so worth it!
 
We were not going to go here but I am so glad we did.
Dubai do es everything to the absolute highest standard and no expenses are spared. This is what I mean:

With summer just around the corner, I know that my fellow lovers of music genres such as R&B, Trap, Hip-Hop and Afro beats, are really looking forward to a summer filled with sun, our favourite musicians and good vibes. Urban music is finally getting the recognition that it deserves, and as black twitter would say ‘we love to see it!’. So, whether you’re a Travis fan, a Davido fan, a Stormzy fan or you just want to be surrounded by the urban culture, you definitely do not want to miss out on these 5 festivals this summer 2020!!
