But UAE recruitment experts insist this is exactly when savvy jobseekers gain an advantage. Headhunters in the country highlighted that the final month of the year is'one of the strongest windows to get noticed,'a time when passive job applications show up. It's a month when being alert, visible, and active on portals can quietly push an individual's profile to the top.

22+ min ago (164+ words) Internationalisation of higher education provides a glimmer of hope at a time when it appears to be at the crossroads in several parts of the world. Sadly, universities are increasingly turning into battlegrounds for reasons that have nothing to do with academics.

Which marks a major milestone in the bid to internationalise education and research. Top UK universities setting campuses in India: In keeping with its emerging global role, India carries the responsibility to contribute to global knowledge demands in an era when skills, innovation, and…...
