Working online for a recent graduate in project management might be tough as if someone will hire anyone online at this point in time, he must be experienced and that's my point of view.

With this global pandemic going on and the economy going down, I doubt anyone will hire due to uncertainty so I suggest you do some professional development to make use of your time such as ACP, RMP and similar.

You can also check with your local PMI chapter, they might give you some guidance.

Good Luck.

Hi Georges, UAE is very big on academic qualifications. You might use the downtime to focus your efforts there.

UAE loves masters and doctoral degrees, even for their project engineers. A little overkill, but that seems to be the case. Just somethibg to think about in addition to PMI certifications and work experience.
