Visiting a construction site today reminds me of last year, when I was working on the same project at the pre-tender stage, preparing the cost plan and working on the 3D model.

Seeing it now under construction is truly rewarding and fulfilling as a Quantity Surveyor.

Which stage of a project do you prefer working in more: pre-tender or post-tender?

You don’t have to know everything. You only need to know enough. Start with what you know, and work your way backward.

I used to stammer and for a long time it destroyed my confidence. It stopped me from expressing myself and some people even laughed when I mispronounced words.

But with time, things changed. Today many people know me for my trainings videos, presentations, Podcast, YouTube tutorials and self-development content — all of which are about speaking.

Do I still stammer? Yes, sometimes. But I no longer let it control me. I don’t care if it happens, because I know what it feels like and I know how far I’ve come.

To anyone struggling right now with speech, fear, or any other challenge, remember this: you can make it. It takes time, but you can still do it. People often see who you are today, but they don’t always see the journey behind it.

You don’t have to be perfect — and that’s the real beauty.

Happy Friday ✨

In 2014, I came to Dubai on a visit visa. Everything was new—I had no idea about LinkedIn or job-hunting platforms. I applied for every possible job, but failed many times.

Eventually, I managed to land my first job in Dubai. Not because I had a clear strategy, but simply because I was lucky. Over time, I realized there are lessons every job seeker should know:

1️⃣ Companies don’t hire out of charity
They don’t give jobs just because someone is in need. They hire because they need someone skilled. So the real question is: when we approach a hiring manager, are we showing how our skills align with their requirements, or just saying we need a job?

2️⃣ Skills come first
If you’re not skilled today, nothing will change in six months or six years. No one is coming to save you. Start learning, invest in yourself, and be ready when opportunities come.

3️⃣ LinkedIn matters
It plays a vital role for professionals, yet many don’t know how to approach people, find jobs, or build a strong profile. I’ve recorded a detailed video on LinkedIn strategy—drop a comment if you’d like the link.

4️⃣ Freshers can get hired
There’s a common belief that only experienced people get jobs. That’s not true—everyone was once a fresher. The mistake many young professionals make is applying for senior roles that don’t fit their profile. I also have a detailed video on resume building and interview preparation—let me know if you’d like the link.

✨ To everyone still searching: stay positive, keep learning, remain consistent. Your time will come.

I’ve always wondered how some people manage to stay at the same company for 20+ years.

Today, I marked my 2 years milestone as a Quantity Surveyor with AECOM and it feels like yesterday when I first walked through the doors. Time really does fly.

These 2 years have been more than just a number, they’ve been about learning, growth, and becoming a better professional. That’s what I’m most proud of. I’m truly grateful for the place and the people who make this journey so rewarding.

I’ve come to believe that when you have the right company, the right people, and the right environment, you’re given the freedom and opportunities to grow then decades can pass without you even realizing.

How long have you been working with your current company? Let’s see who’s in the lead.
