Submitting thousands of CV

Henry said he submitted over 1,500 CVs to hotels and companies but didn't get any response from them.

In his words:

"I submitted my CV to hotels and companies. I was probing the street of Dubai. Two months after getting nothing, I hit the street. At that point, my account had started running low."

He said he contacted an agent in Dubai for a job and the later took him and one other applicant to a cucumber farm to become labourers.

Henry said the owner of the farm promised to renew their visa but reneged on his promise. He said after a week of harvesting cucumber, the farm owner gave them 23 Dirham (Ghc38) and asked them to leave.
