 Hi guys, welcome back to this channel. Remember, it's Meks from the Meks Creation TV. In today's video, what are we talking about? And I had a question that had been asked several times and it's all about life in Katal. We think about life in Katal. Yes, life in Katal. Oh, life in the Gulf countries generally. I guess I can say that. Yes. First of all, you need to know what are your aims, what are your objectives for you to be able to survive in this country, or in this Gulf countries. Then something else I need to let you know is some people that tend to underestimate or people that don't put so much in mind is what you call the opportunity. Not everyone has the opportunity to get a visa to move to a foreign country. Right? But if you have that opportunity, if you had that opportunity to come to this Gulf countries, then when you must be lucky, then you are lucky. Oh, you are lucky at that same point. The people who are left out. But the question is that what is your responsibility as you being lucky? The responsibility that we have is to follow the law. Follow the law in that foreign country, then everything will be good for you. If they say follow, don't do this, make sure you don't do that. If it is against the norms, it is against the labor law, it is against the articles, it is against the contract you signed, contract. Don't do that, so that you can live amicably and finish up. Yes, well, most of us come from our countries, wherever you made coming from Africa, you may come from Asia, wherever you may be coming from for any professional work that may come here. You are coming as a security guard, you are coming as a cleaner, a barista, housekeeper, in any format that you may be coming to. We have what you call expectations versus reality. As we are coming, most especially when you are being recruited by what you call the manpower agencies. For those people that have direct hire, it is probably good for you. For those countries that have labor part of labor agreement with most of these agulf countries, then that is good for you because you definitely know that as your way you are coming, everything will just be streamlined. But I'm also looking at those countries that do not have labor agreement, that for you to have a contract, you are supposed to have a subcontract from another big company through your manpower agent or your recruitment agencies. Definitely, I know even them are looking for money at one moment time and that's kind of business that we cannot do that with them. So they will definitely give you all the praises, they will tell you whatever they want you to hear about the good gym, about the good sleeping, about the good heating. Definitely, that is what you call the language of customer care. You do that. So you will have high expectations as yourself to reaching these countries. Yeah, you will end up that what you heard or what was told is something different. Yes, we do understand we all go through those situations especially if it's your first time to come to this country. But remember, there is always a way that you don't have to give up. It is not the end, you don't have to give up. You do not have to give up. Because you might got surprised that you come to a company that it will not give you off every after it will not give you off. You will have to work a full year, 30 days and if you have to get one then probably it will be like one time in a month. And yet you are entitled to what you call four days or every week you are entitled to one day off. Because that only rejuvenates what you call the mindset or rejuvenates your brain and keeps you afresh every single day. But there are companies that will not give you that. So that is what we say that you come with a lot of expectations but you find the reality so different. You go to companies where you will be washing for yourself, those companies that will do laundry. You will find everything streamlined for you. You only have to wake up, take your shower, prepare yourself, get into the bus or for duty. And those companies where you need to hustle so much to make sure that you learn part of the small skills that you did not learn from your parents or from your home country that can enable you to survive in one world or the other. So life will come a little bit easier for you if you follow the law. Know what are your targets, know what are your plans. Obey your employer. Know what kind of contract you sign. There is what you call limited contracts then we all have what you call unlimited contracts. Some people sign for limited contract of two years and those that sign for unlimited contract of five years. But imagine a question why you would want to change before even you finish up the probation period which I think companies are not good to allow. They cannot allow you because you feel frustrated with what you saw and you want to change before even your probation period. They will not allow. Even the ministry itself will not allow that. So that means you are bleaching the contractor to sign you up with your employer. So meaning that what do I have to let you know is that don't have too much expectations. Just come into the country. Follow the law. Know your target. Know your objectives. Know your contract. Make your plans accordingly. Yes to avoid some of the expenses of cook for yourself. If the company can give you gas definitely cook for yourself. Why would you like to order all the time? 30 days you heat from the hotel or you pay to hotel to do it for you and yet you can do it for yourself to say not all of us know how to cook but these are skills that we get to learn every single moment of day. Not everyone of us knew how to work for ourselves but these are things that we get to learn every day. Why would you wake up to take your clothes to London to pay up for London to do the laundry for you and yet you can do it for yourself to save. So those are some of things that you definitely need to understand as you come to this Gulf countries that don't put your expectations too high. Some employer, some agents will definitely cleared you about the higher salary. The benefits that you will be accrued to but you finally when you definitely can decide is something very different. It is something very different. But that doesn't mean that you are going to give up you have to persevere, you have to persevere and move on. For someone who is a fighter or someone who is resilient will fight until the end until you finish up the time or the agreement you signed then you can move on something else and that's what it would be like. So most of the guys this would be to the new guys as you coming please make sure your expectations are not like they are not too much. Make sure that you will be embo to hand whatever you find for you to live and for you to meet up with your targets or goals that you set in life which is a very good advice for those people that are coming. I know there are a lot of opportunities that are going to come Yes, utilize those opportunities. When you come make sure you utilize them to the fullest. We have people who came here for 3 months contract for 6 months contract Strictly for the world they will have to exit the country but leave something that I need to let you know the 3 months and the 6 months that you got at that time is part of the experience in the Gulf Country So the next time you go to the recruitment agency to apply for a new job to come into the country on what you call a 2 years work visa you already have what you call a work experience is already there So you stand out on the rest of the people who are applying which is very good Thank you so much for coming back to this channel It was a piece of advice It was an advice for those people coming Remember there are a lot of opportunities that are coming down the road We have the expo 2023 Doha is coming on the round that is 2023 We have the Asian cups is also coming So there are a lot of opportunities Other festivals You know Tournament that will be arranged or organized in this country So meaning Don't put your hopes down You still have opportunities to come Just prepare yourself Prepare the documents that will be needed when till they ask for then you'll get it all Thank you so much It's mixed from the next question Don't forget to support this channel by subscribing and if it's your first time By the way Don't forget to hit that notification bell because it will be updating you or it will enable you to get updates whenever I upload a new video Thank you so much See you again in the next video
