I am based in one the gulf countries in the Middle East. I have practiced extensivley in the last 5 months, polished my CV and tailored my stories. I beleive I am confident to start applying but since I can only submit one application every 1 or 2 years, I am not sure if I should apply now given the COVID-19 sitatution. Some people adviced me to apply once you are ready regardless, others said to apply once the markets get back to pre-COVID. I am really confused and seeking your advice please, thanks!
