Relocating abroad for work is often more than a career move. It involves championing unfamiliar job markets, adapting to new professional cultures, and rebuilding confidence in an entirely new environment. For many professionals aspiring to work in Dubai, these challenges can feel overwhelming.
Manas Bichoo and Charul Motwani, among the top 0.1% creators on Topmate, a mentorship platform with over 3 lakh creators, have spent the last several years helping professionals make this transition. Through their Dubai Job Search Mentorship Program on Topmate, they have guided more than 10,000 professionals from India and other countries seeking opportunities in the Gulf region.
A Mission Built on Personal Experience
The foundation of their six-week job search program comes from firsthand experience. Both Manas and Charul have navigated international career transitions themselves, giving them practical insight into the professional and emotional complexities of relocating for work.
Manas brings more than a decade of experience in the Dubai job market, with a background in career consulting, employer branding, and recruitment strategy. His mentorship focuses on helping candidates understand how hiring works in the Gulf region and how to position themselves effectively.
His guidance typically covers:
CV positioning for the UAE market
Interview preparation aligned with regional expectations
Relocation readiness, including practical and professional considerations
Charul complements this approach with a strong focus on the human side of career transitions. Her mentorship centres on resume strategy, interview coaching, and confidence building. In the Dubai Job Search Mentorship Program, she works closely with professionals to help them understand workplace culture in Dubai and builds their confidence to pursue long-term career success.
Together, their mentorship combines structured career guidance with ongoing personal support. The program includes one-on-one consultations, guided job search frameworks, and access to a supportive peer community designed to help professionals settle into their new roles.
Navigating the Dubai Job Market
Dubai’s job market attracts talent from across the globe, making competition intense across industries. Beyond securing interviews, candidates must adapt to different communication styles, workplace norms, and cultural expectations.
“Relocating for work isn’t just about securing a job,” says Charul. “It’s about identity, self-confidence, and building a new life. Our goal is to make that transition as informed, prepared, and smooth as possible.”
In addition to job search strategy, Manas and Charul’s mentorship addresses emotional readiness. Many of their clients experience feelings of doubt and isolation, especially when relocating without a local support network. Through continuous mentorship, they help clients adjust and feel more settled in their new roles and environments.
“The job search is just one part of the journey,” Manas explains. “Our mentorship addresses career clarity, hiring strategy, emotional readiness, and long-term settlement in Dubai.”
Building Trust Through Results
A defining aspect of Manas and Charul’s work is its emphasis on outcomes. Their mentorship has supported professionals through career transitions, international placements, salary growth, and smoother integration into the Dubai workforce.

The trust they have built with their clients is evident in consistent positive feedback and repeat referrals. Their mentorship extends beyond job placement to ensuring their clients continue to grow and develop in their roles, ultimately building sustainable careers.
