How do I deal 3+yr gap between graduation and now? [UAE]

Hi everyone,

I’m a computer science graduate based in the UAE, and I’m reaching out for some help and advice. I graduated in December 2019, but due to mental health issues, I took some time off and didn’t apply for work for almost a year and a half.

Since then, I’ve been trying to find work locally, but I’ve had little to no luck. Despite applying to many positions, I’ve only received less than 5 interviews, and I keep getting denied everywhere I apply. I feel like I’ve run out of options and don’t know what to do next.

I’m open to the idea of working remotely, and I’m even willing to move for work. However, the fact that I’m over three years out of university with no work experience is making things challenging.

I’m reaching out to you all for any advice or suggestions you might have. I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you!
