More than 800 UAE students at universities in the United States attended a career fair and forum hosted by the UAE Embassy in Washington.
The event, the mission's third annual student forum, took place last month.
More than 20 UAE-based companies sent representatives to discuss job opportunities and conduct interviews.
The students also heard a speech from a representative of the US department of homeland security and were able to discuss immigration policies.

Just as McDonald’s has the Big Mac, Jollibee has Spicy Chickenjoy – a piece of fried chicken that’s crispy and spicy on the outside and comes with a side of spaghetti, all covered in tomato sauce and topped with sausage slices and ground beef. It sounds like a recipe that a child would come up with, but perhaps that’s the point – a flavourbomb combination of cheap comfort foods. Chickenjoy is Jollibee’s best-selling product in every country in which it has a presence.
