How much is the probability for an experienced professional able to find a good job in UAE, if he/she doesn't have somebody to provide reference..?

Everybody is seeking for reference to get to a much better opportunity in GCCs. So my question is about what if someone like a professional who doesn't have any reference background and another one with a good recommendation with less experience came for the same interview...!!!who will likely to get the job...? Is it something like the talented get overtaken by somebody who has more free fuel...!!!

It all depends one's qualifications and experiences and present job trends. Experienced professional will sure get a job he or she is persistent in search of a job

I believe if you have good credentials, references are used as check. So only the good references will not provide the guarantee of the job.
