Jobs in Dubai

It's boom time here, and there is a huge shortage of people that actually know what they're doing. There are three ways to get a job here:

1.Internet/job advert search – that’s how I got mine, but I haven’t found it to be a particularly successful way to do things. Mostly because the internet allows about 4 million people to apply for the same job and the poor HR clerk has about 10 seconds per CV..

2.Come up for a visit and bring your CV. Spend your time visiting companies. There’s such a shortage of skills that this system actually works.

3.Getting your name CV passed on by someone you know. Business here is built solely on relationships. Sometimes a weird way to do business, but I’ve grown to like it. If someone you know and trust gives you a CV, you look at it seriously.

If any of my fuckwit friends want to come work here in the land of Babel and you need help you can contact me on phil1959@gmail.com
