Lower-income nationals from Sharjah are to benefit from a social insurance plan that was announced this week by the Ruler of the emirate.
Interviewed on Al Khat Al Mubasher, a local talk show, Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed said the move would help people who required medical help but did not have the means to finance it.
The Ruler also announced plans to build an autism centre, and to award a plot of land to those nationals who had yet to receive one.

Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
