After finishing high school, I went straight into work — starting as a shelf boy and rising to store manager with Muscat Municipality. During that time, I also supported my uncle as a Public Relations Officer.
I later traveled to Perth, Australia, where I studied Business Management and Psychology while taking on different labour jobs. Returning to Oman, I worked as a Sales Executive promoting decorative paints, then became Vice Marketing Manager at Target Training Services. From there, I moved to Sohar Port as an HR Specialist, and later took on contracting roles as an HR Manager for various companies.
With a growing interest in careers and recruitment, I launched Falaj Careers, beginning with CV writing and expanding into coaching and talent placement. My journey took me to Dubai as a Business Development Manager, where I helped scale a company successfully, before returning to Oman during the pandemic to manage a private hospital branch.
Alongside these roles, I continued sales work while building my business. Today, Falaj Careers has grown into what feels like a mini Ministry of Labour — spotting talent, placing people in the right roles, and helping both companies and job seekers.
My journey is still unfolding, and I believe there’s much more ahead. I carry big dreams and encourage others to chase theirs with courage, dedication, and belief in what they can achieve.
