We had meeting on 31th October 2012 at W104. We start the meeting late because one of our members came late so we start at 14:40 and finished at 15:00. We are 4 members (Ahmed Al Suwaidi was the chair of the group, Khmais and me were the participants and Abdullah Ibrahim was the minutes taker. The teacher gave us the topic about Emiratization at that time so we had 5 min’s to organize the agenda for the meeting.

Ahmed introduced the topic above, at the first we looked at the problems why the
Emirates find the job at the privet companies and even why privet companies doesn’t want to hire the emirates to their companies. The problem of some Emirates they doesn’t finish their studies and they don’t want to start their work from the bottom of the career ladder they always want to start from managerial position and want higher salary, on another hand the company think or has stereotype that the Emirates not hard worker and they are lazy. After that we talked about the solution about this problems so we put searching plan about this problems and there one solution that we go to privet companies and tell them try to take some high GPA’s student to have summer work with theme and we go and encourages the student work with privet companies and tell them in privet companies they have fastest opportunity to get higher position in privet company than the government company. At the finish Ahmed organize the group and give us what we need to do and set the next meeting.

All in all, the meeting was help me to know how to organize the meeting in short time and it will help me in my real life.
