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.

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. You are being recruited, yes. 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. He expects you to do the work and he gives you accommodation, or something. 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? You are a cleaner, you are a security guard, you are a technician, you work in a hospitality department. 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. Let's say you left your mother in your country, you left your wife in your country, you left your family in your country. 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 you are facing the reality of life, you are facing the reality of it all than what you expected that everything will be on a silver plate. So sometime that is what normally happens. So I want to let you know, are you cooking for yourself? Are you washing for yourself? No. It is quite very important. So these are some of the expectations versus the reality.
