Preparing to come and study in the UK (University)

I will talk about skills that student needs coming from the middle east. The students find that they don't have the tools required to know Microsoft office from how to make a presentation to plotting experimental data using excel.
Translate the required documents, these are:
1-Secondary school documents.
2-High school documents.
3-Scan them.
4-You will need to have a TOFEL or an IELTS certificate, if you don't then they will require you to do one at the country of intake.
5- They will require you to show that you have a sum of money in your bank account.

I will at a later stage type also the instruction in Arabic for students coming from the middle east

How Easy will it be to Find a Job or a Scholarship?

Remember there are lots of jobs out there. Networking plays an important role in getting a job. Making yourself known also contributes to increasing your chances of getting a job.  You need to always keep in mind that you have to keep trying and not to give up. You need while applying for a job to keep your time table full. That is through developing your skills, and also working on your Body fitness.

1-Always have in mind that you will not get a job from your first interview.


2- Humans are competitive in nature and will never tell you exactly how they got their job.


Try to always contact the academic who has the scholarship or Post doc position or somebody from inside the company before you fill in an application, due to that application forms are long demanding and frustrating to fill, also due to that sometimes the candidate has already been selected but they have to advertise to the position.  By clarifying that the institution is interested, this through getting an email reply from the HR or if you get the chance to talk to the person in charge, once the conservation is unclear and you get general answers this means he is not interested but he has to advertise for the position. This hint is just to focus your strength on more potential job opportunities.


Always have a pure noble goal in your life for a job and from there have faith in god that he will help you.  A pure goal means you intended to develop people make them better make them happy live with people in harmony, to get a job to support your family your parents...etc.


Having a good CV  that fits the job description for the advertised job.
Here i provide a CV word file format, You just need to modify the CV details to something that mimics your requirements.

Head Hunters

Some times job agencies can really help you in getting a job by leaving your CV with them especially when you have a very specialized area of research that not a lot of people know about. That is because they have already established links with  HR departments of companies.

Job Interview Does and Donts

Reading these points and having them back on your mind is essential.

Things not to Do in an interview

1- Don’t arrive late to the interview.
2-  Smoke during the interview.
3- Drinking fluids throughout the interview.
4- Try to not look nervous.

Things to do

1- Wear a suite to the interview, this shows that you are serous for the advertised position.
2- Try to answer the interviewer’s questions.
3-Maintain eye contact through the conservation.
