Jobs in Qatar. Expectations versus the reality. By the way, did you ever know that what you expect as you're coming to this country is not what you find? Jobs in Qatar. Expectations versus the reality. By the way, did you ever know that what you expect as you're coming to this country? Moving into this video, let us try to see what are some of these expectations that are passing the reality. Hi guys, thank you so much for coming back to this channel.

But remember, the new subscribers don't fail to consider subscribing. Support this channel by subscribing. It is the only platform we can try to share out ourselves. Share the information. In today's video, we want to look at the reality versus the expectation. Or you can do it to the vice versa and say the expectations versus the reality in the job. For the jobs in Qatar or jobs generally in the Gulf countries, what are we talking about? What are those expectations we talk about? Remember, when we are discussing the expectations, we shall look at two sides. We shall look at the expectations for the employer. The person is sponsoring you. Then we look at the expectations. Are you the person who is the employee? You become the employee. The person who is going to do the work is the employee. The person who is sponsoring you is your employer. Remember, in the video we talked about the types of visas. We talked about the visas. And most of the works that come to the Gulf countries are what we call the work visas. And work visas are mainly sponsored by a person who is going to give you that job or that particular company that is going to give you that work. That's why they're called the work visas. And they're normally moved on with a contract. You need to sign a contract between the two. It can be after for one year. It can be for two years. It can be for an unlimited contract of five years, depending on what kind of major argument or that is being reached between the two parties. That is what we are trying to talk about. But let us not try to go into that so much. In today's video we want to look at the expectations versus the reality for the jobs in Qatar. What do you expect? What does your employer expect from you? Those are two things that should come in your mind. Those are two things that you should think about. Remember, when we are being recruited from our own countries, when that hiring company or when that manpower company looks up that post for you, yes, you'll be hired, but you have expectations before you come. You'll say, I need this kind of job. I need this job that can give me this amount of money. Yes, that is the opportunity that has come on your table. But remember, even the person who is quoting you has an expectation in the person who is quoting you. Remember, before I told you that sometimes the opportunity will not look for you, but you look for the opportunity. How do you look for that opportunity? By being well prepared for that opportunity. Such that by the time that opportunity comes on your table, you are the first person to take up the opportunity. And the two important documents for you should have is the passport and your mindset.  Are you ready to take on that work? Are you ready to take on that work? Yes, in this video, by the end of this video, we shall have a clear picture of what it is, what should do, how you should go along with it, or how by answering a few questions, how, when, when, whom, you get an answer for it. Let us look at the expectations of your employer. First of all, his main goal, maybe he has a company, a big company. He may want a security guard, he may want a cleaner, he may want a technician. He expects that person to perform his duty to the expectations. If you agree in the contract that you are supposed to work for 12 hours, it will be 12 hours. And if you agree in the contract that you will be working for 12 hours and you will be paid this amount of money, that is what he expects. That you work for the 12 hours and he pays you the same amount of money that agreed. If he says I will be giving you accommodation, yes.  But remember, it is not some employee or some company, they expect for you to have an extra skill, extra skill that you should have. What are these skills that we are talking about, that your employer may expect from you? For that job that is recruited you, for that position that is recruited you?  Some of the life skills that you need to have, the extra skills we are talking about. For example, good communication. How better can you communicate to a client, to communicate to another person? Are you presentable now? That is also another skill. Are you literate? Can you read and write? Can you write your name? Can you write something? At one of my skills, how better you can present yourself? It is very important. So, when you look at your employer, you normally look at some of those kids that you are supposed to have. But what about you? You also have expectations, because that is the reason why you accepted the position. You expect good salary, yes, the good salary you agreed upon in the contract. You expect good accommodation, yes, you agreed upon the accommodation. But still, you do not know how many people you are going to sleep in the room. Because it is not going to be a self-contained accommodation. You are not the only person in the company that is being recruited for that position. Yes, you expect the money, the salary to come in time. Those are some of the expectations. And you may have expectations that by the end of it all, some of them have expectations of career development. Someone may wake up and say, yes, out of this, I am able to develop myself to go to another level. That is also an expectation for some of you, for some of us out there. Hope we are on the right page. So, those are some of the things that we get to put in mind as we are being recruited by the manpower companies or depending on any way that you came in this company. Those are some of the expectations that we have. And indeed, that is part of our goals we have. The short term and the long term goals that we are supposed to fulfill at a given period of time. But the other point that comes in, yes, the expectations are there. But what are the realities? Most important at all times, jobs in the Gulf. It is so much to focus on the realities of life than focusing on the expectations. You may have a higher expectations and you get disappointed in one or the other. So, it's better. To my advice, it's better you concentrate so much on the expectations and the realities of life because it's only the realities of the life that is going to wake up your mind. When they wake up your mind, then you'll be able to achieve your expectations in any goal that you feel you want. It may be in a short term goal, in a long term goal, it will be the only way because you'll find a lot of disappointment with some of the things that will be done in any world. So, let us try to go through some of the realities of life that you happen to find. One, you may go to a company. The company is not cooking for your food. They will give you, let's say they are giving you their food hallways. What are you going to do? Are you going to eat in a hotel? They may be very expensive for you. So that means you need to get cooking utensils. You need to start preparing food for yourself. But remember, if from your country you used not to cook for yourself, this is a time that you have to apply a life skill to start cooking for yourself as a means of survival. Reality number two, they used to wash for you.  They used to wash your clothes. But this is where you come to a company. They don't have washing machine for laundry. That means you need to do the laundry yourself. You need to wash for yourself because you need to be clean. You need to be presentable. Your employer expects you to be presentable wherever he posts you to work. But how are you going to be presentable when you have dirty uniforms? When you're not hygienic? So that means that one. How do you go about without reality? You need to start washing for yourself. It doesn't matter how you do it, but you know you have to wash for yourself. Expectation number three, we look at salary. Yes, you may expect your salary will always come on the same date. And you disappointed at one or the other at some time. The salary does not come in time. There may be delays in one or the other, which you may not understand. And your employer will not be able to explain to you the delays because you have a contract. So meaning that you have to wait to hold on until the money comes. And when the money comes, that's when you can try to adjust whatever you're planning to do with that money. Something else, we have another reality that you'll find is accommodations. You expect to sleep one in a room with a double sofa, with a TV? No. The reality is that you'll find yourself sleeping in people like eight people or four people, depending on any arrangement or depending on the organization that is available by that company. You might find yourself sleeping in the room with the same luggage, with the same cooking utensils, which is quite actually true. So how are you going to go with that? You need to persevere. First of all, what you need to put in your mindset, you need to know what is the primary reason. What is, why am I here? Why did I accept this opportunity? Why did I accept this job? Why did I accept to come here? That will be the only thing that you have to put in mind. It is the only drive that will push you to move on, and that is exactly what it is. So you'll find in the room, you go back to the secondary level, a boarding secondary level, where you're sleeping eight in the room. If you're so lucky enough, you may sleep with the same people of the same origin. If you're not so lucky enough, you may find sleeping with other people of the same origin, of different origins, and we all have different cultures in mind over here. So you need to adjust. You need to adjust because now you're facing the reality. How do you live with that reality to see that you make yourself better for tomorrow? Is you adjust and move within the reality and try to fix yourself back to the order? Another reality of life is transportation. You may sign your contract, I'm supposed to work for 12 hours. But one or two or three or four months or one or two times, there are delays in transport. The 12 hours become the 13 hours, become the 14 hours. Are you going to quit your job? No. Are you going to quit your job? No, you're not going to quit your job. Because now you are facing the reality of it all. If you're so lucky enough, that company will pay overtime. If you're not lucky enough, the company will not be paying overtime. What are you going to do? Are you going to quit? You have two choices. Either to persevere or to quit the job, or to resign, or to move on, or to get yourself back to order, to put yourself back to order so that you can move and fulfill your short-term and long-term dreams that you have for you. Still, we shall look at another reality of it all. Requirements. That some of those requirements that you need to buy for yourself, the company will not give you the requirements. The company may give you a mattress and a bed, but it may not give you bed sheets. So what are you going to do? Are you going to sleep on an empty mattress? No. That means you'll have to look for a mattress. You'll have to look for bed sheets to cover yourself. If you're lucky enough and they give you a blanket, yes, that is okay. But remember, if they don't give you, how are you going to sleep? It is you are going to improvise within yourself and have that blanket for yourself.  So sometime that is what normally happens.   No. It is quite very important. So these are some of the expectations versus the reality. Hope, guys, you're trying to share something. Thank you so much for escaping to this channel.

It is a packable jacket and it is stunning. Check that out. And let me see, right there's the inner tag. It definitely looks like it's never been worn. It's incredible. Wow.

I'm not sure about weight, mom waist. Look how cool they are. They're super cool. Look at the back. Oh my goodness. Would you rock these? Let me know if you would rock these Rockies. It's getting late here. It's getting late here. It's almost, it's almost midnight. I'm talking about rock and Rockies here. Okay. Yeah. They kind of remind me of Jordash, but not. She got these at the Goodwill for $4.50, took a best offer of $74.92 plus shipping. Amazing steels and deals. This is Christopher I by Chit, C-H-I-T on YouTube. And if you guys are over at Donatella Botolino and option for you, you guys see him in the chat and we always have a good time chatting him up. He's also over at Rachel Strickland's a lot. He is a big supporter of the reseller community.  And he is a mega Bolo finder. So this is his store. It will be linked down in the description. But let me show you some of his amazing Bolo's. That's not what I wanna show you. Here we go. It's this Kellogg Rotary Dial candlestick phone. And he's great with keywords. He's super knowledgeable. He got this at, I don't know where I got it. He didn't say, bought it for $20 and sold it for full price of 275 plus shipping. I'm guessing he got it in an estate sale. This next item came from an estate sale. He paid $15 for the whole lot and sold it for $120. This is really cool. It's got all these little pins.  It's vintage USS Ranger CVA 61 lot of picks, pins, patches, et cetera, from an estate. This item he purchased from Donatella Bottolino's auction, her YouTube auction. And he bought a whole bunch of wrestlers. He said he bought 50 wrestlers for $70. So about $1.50 a piece.

The next item comes from the Cha-ching King and his channel is just taken off. Super, super good editing skills. You guys will really like his channel and he's super knowledgeable. He does a lot of videos for beginners. So if you're newer, definitely check out his eBay step-by-step listing your first item on eBay.

I don't know why, probably because they're so good, but this one has 103,000 views. 33,000 views, 24,000 views. And these are all videos that are for new resellers. So he's really good at teaching. So check those out, okay? All right, but he's also a Bolo finder. So let's see what he sold. He sold these vintage Annalie, Mr. and Mrs. Claus dolls from 2004. He picked up a big lot of Annalie dolls. He paid for them, he got home, he realized how much they were worth and he went back and gave the person more money.

Anyway, he got this at a private pickup for $5 and sold it for $79.99. AEG's estate treasures. I really struggle with that one. They do estate clean outs and they always have really cool items in their store. And I know she's talking about doing reseller lots. I don't know if she's gonna put them on wholesale or if she's gonna put them over here on eBay. If you're not on wholesale, wholesale is a great place to get reseller lots. I do have a referral link down in the description. I have bought from wholesale. I do have a video of a lot that I purchased. If you guys want to check that out, I unboxed it, I show you how I listed everything. I actually bought the lot from the Rebel reseller who posted it on wholesale. And if you're not following her, she has an awesome channel also. I don't think I mentioned yet. If you want to follow an eBay store, you can hit save seller and that will let you know when they post new items or if they send out a coupon to their followers, stuff like that. So it's always a good idea. If you find a store that you like, definitely hit that so you can follow them, okay? Let's see what they sold. Oh, if you join wholesale with that link down below, you'll get a $10 credit. So you can use that to shop, okay? AEG's Estate Treasures. All right, that's where we're at now. This is a Metropolitan Museum of Art Angel and it's a pewter ornament. Check it out. And she got this for 35 cents at an estate, I think probably a clean out. And she sold it for best offer of $40. The next item is this Harry Potter wall and desk calendars from 2002 and 2003 and stickers. And these are all sealed. So even though they are past dates, they're pretty much vintage really, the 2002, almost 2003 or vintage. She got these at an estate sale for $4 and sold them for $54 plus shipping. This is a little Beetlejuice action figure and I'm surprised this didn't go for more because it's from 1989 and it's by Kenner. But it went for $19.99 and she paid $1.95 for this. This one right here, she never got back to me on this. So I don't know what she ended up selling it for but I was just totally intrigued by it because it's damaged. And if you guys watch my channel, you know that I love to sell items that are damaged, not that I love to sell them, but I like to take the risk and see if I can do it. I actually just sold a gym shore nativity piece. And I was like, I founded at the Goodwill Benz and it was a part of the hashtag Benz bingo challenge. And I was like, should I get this or should I leave it behind? And I found three others that were intact, no issues. And I was like, you know what? I just think somebody's gonna buy it.  You guys, it sold super fast. So don't be afraid to sell those broken items. But anyway, this is a vintage advertising Cosmetolitan Buddy Leigh Ball and he's got this little cameo pin on his shirt. How cool is that? So I don't know what she ended up selling it for but it sold, whether it sold for $10 or 70, I have no idea, but it sold. And I just wanted to share that with you guys. So I'm sorry, I don't know the sold price. All about reselling. In the life of a reseller, this is Josie and this is her YouTube channel. And you can definitely go and sub her up to see what she's talking about. Only one sale on eBay, but it's my own fault. So she kind of just chit-chats and gets a series with you and tells you about life and things going on. So check her out. She sold this over on Etsy. It's a leather craft to make your own leather vest kit complete. And she got this at a thrift store for $1.50 and sold it for $25 plus shipping. She's also over on Poshmark as J underscore grounds and she sold these new old stock 1976 Fonzie Nylon knee-high, or yeah, knee-highs. They don't look like knee-highs, do they? That's funny. Paramount Pictures. She got three for a dollar at a yard sale and these sold for $35 on Poshmark. The next item is this vintage 1989 Players Edition Tripoli. Everything included original box. She sold this on Poshmark for $35 plus shipping. And I always tell you guys that games are a great thing to put on Poshmark because they're pretty expensive to ship on eBay and Poshmark has that flat rate shipping of $7.67 if it's five pounds or less. And there are dimensions that you have to watch for but most games are pretty good. So definitely something to keep in mind. If you're not on Poshmark and Mercari I do have referral links down below. For Poshmark you get $10 if you use my link to join. And then on Mercari you get $10 when you join and then another $20 to shop when you sell $100 worth of stuff. And I recommend both Poshmark and Mercari. I sell on both platforms. Dare to Dream Big 1313. This is her store. Lots of cool items. She's got lots of toys. I love toys. Christmas items. I also love selling Christmas items. Definitely check out her store and she sold this Russ Home Buddies Sniffy Striped Mouse Beanbag Plush. And she got this at the Goodwill Benz. So she has about 20 cents in it and she did sell it for a best offer of 30 in one week. She probably could have held out for full asking for sure. Maybe even closer to $50 on this. This is definitely a nice little item to pick up if you find it. It's named Sniffy. Isn't he cute? Oh my goodness. He's so cute. So be on the lookout for Russ Home Buddies. I love this one. This is a Russ Love Pets Puddles Beanie Plush Puppy Dog. Look at the cuteness. And he's got a little bit of matting. Like you can tell he's like, he's been loved. Look at his tag. Look at his tag. He has been well loved, that one. Puppy Dog, a state sale, 50 cents sold in one week for $42. Someone was looking for it. The next item is this Westmoreland Red Milk Glass Mini Hen or Nest Covered Dish. And you guys, this is a little one. It's only about three inches. So it's tiny. Yard sale, 25 cents and sold it for $42.55 on Etsy. The Bulldog Shop. Look how cute this little banner is. Oh my goodness, it's got the little stockings. It's got the Bulldog. How awesome is that? And she has a great store also. So definitely check out her store. Everybody's getting their Christmas items up. I love it. All right, Precious Moments. She said she always looks for precious moments because sometimes they go for big money and she is not wrong on that. She got these at an online estate for $7, sold them for 120 plus shipping. The next item, all right. She picked up all of these PC Gamer magazines, 200 plus on an online estate. She paid $11 for all of them. This one set right here sold for 120 bucks. So you can see when she's got the complete set of 12 issues for the year, these are vintage, harder to find, 120, 110. Now here she's got 32 issues from 2000 to 2003, $84. So you can just kind of see how she lauded these. But look at all this money she has made on these PC Gamer magazines, $11 investment. And she still has some listed. Handmade Nantucket Light Ship Basket Purse signed. Joe Gatti, 2006. Oh my goodness, online estate. Again, she said she saw it in the pictures and she went to Worth Point and she looked it up. You guys, if you're not using Worth Point, it is so worth it. I held off getting Worth Point because it's expensive, but it will make you so much money. I do have a referral link down below, but I also have videos on my channel that show you how I have used Worth Point to make more money because I like to show you guys how I use the services that I use that I recommend because I'm actually using them. So, but that referral links down below, if you guys wanna check that out, I do not use the one for the marks. If you guys do like pottery or jewelry, stuff like that, you may be interested in that. I really just use it to comp out solds. So, she sold this for $520 and picked it up online estate for $11. This next one is a vintage Stephen Lelyoff, Lollyoff painted leather fire bucket early American reproduction. She said it was her mom's. So, it was free and she took a best offer of $625 on this.
