A friend came to Dubai and is staying in our house at the moment. She is here to look for a job as a housekeeper or nanny. 

We went for her first interview yesterday. I could say she had a good shot and chance of getting the job, considering the requirements needed of her would be employer - -  if only she had not been too shy. She was too shy she was fidgeting with a piece of paper and so nervous she could not even bear to finish her sentences. I sat on her interview to fill in her lines, to explain to her employer. I feel so sad for her.

People with good resumes get invited for interviews. People good during interviews get the job. No matter how highly skilled you are, if you don’t present it while face to face with the would be employer, chances are, you would need to find another employer, after another.

She is 37 and single, one of the main reasons why she feels inferior. But isn’t inferiority the thing you feel when you allow yourself to wallow in your differences with other people?

I pity her and talked to her about it but I am no clinical psychologist. From our talks I could see that she never really felt good about herself and wondered what her parents had done and what I should do with regards to my own parenting.
