admin answers:

Hi,

please visit the link giving below which provides you with reputed recruitment agencies in the UAE:
http://www.startpagedubai.com/jobs.htm

Please search for suitable job openings apply, hopefully get shortlisted, interviewed and hired.

Please be aware that all work and visa related costs are on your future sponsor/employer and not deductible from your salary. Also be aware that taking employment in the UAE it is necessary to negotiate a "salary package" including housing allowance and transportation as a minimum.

All the best and good luck.

Nancy asks…

Is 8000 AED a reasonable salary to live in Dubai?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I am a single male. Looking to join for the national airlines of UAE.They provide 8k fixed pay + furnished accomodation + travel expenses + other standard benefits and free air tickets.
I am an engineer and have got 4 years of airline experience and earn more or less same.I am looking for a change and international environment.

Is this 8k sufficient to have comfortable living and some saving ?

admin answers:

It's okay (also when to low for an engineer) but with the offered additional benefits you should take the chance to spice up your cv with "international" experience. And yes, you will be able to save depending on your lifestyle.

Btw - the national Airline of the UAE is Etihad and is located in Abu Dhabi! Guess you should know that before you start your job:))

Take care.

Questions About Dubai Travel Job Opportunities

Paul asks…

Residency Visa rules for Dubai?

My boyfriend has a job opportunity in Dubai that his considering. He wants me to go with him and so we're trying to find out information on Residency Visas. My boyfriend will obtain residency through his new role as his company will sponsor him but we are confused as to whether I would be able to be sponsored by him taking into account we are not married??

Or would I need to apply for residency myself once I have a job in Dubai?? If I would need to arrange myself then would I need to have a job and my Visas arranged before I travel??

It's all very confusing!!!

Thanks in advance

admin answers:

The rules are very simple.

A boyfriend can not sponsor you.
A husband has to make Dhs 3.ooo and paid housing or Dhs 4.500 without housing.
You can not apply yourself for a residence visa without working in the UAE.
If you come here on a visit visa and get lucky to land a job, your company (sponsor) will arrange the residence visa.

You have three possibilities:
1. You get married and your husband sponsors you.
2. You come here on a visit visa which will be good for 60 days, renew it for another 30 days (Dhs 500) or go on a visa run.
3. You land a job here while on a visit visa. Then all other visa related costs will be on your company.
4. Look for a suitable job opening while still outside the UAE, get hired, have travel expenses paid by the company and enter the UAE on the right entry permit and be in a better position to negotiate a better salary package than being hired here under a local contract.

Right now all the rules might sound confusing, but they are really simple. By coming here on a visit visa to be with your boyfriend and then looking for a job, please be aware that it is considered illegal to live together without being married. In Dubai nobody cares unless somebody complains. Then the Authorities have to take action. Be aware of watchmen and neighbours depending where you live and what Nationalities live in the same building.

If you have any more questions you can email me any time.

Take care.

Steven asks…

Should I go to Dubai to seek employment on a tourist visa?

I don't know anyone in Dubai, don't have any connections. I'm an American IT professional and don't speak Arabic, and single. I have heard of opportunities with great pay, and intrigued by the nature of the life. Should I secure a job interview before I travel, or go blindly and spend perhaps a month there, looking at the classifieds. The latter seems risky.

admin answers:

Hi,

sure you could come here on a visit visa, stay for 90 days and look for a job - but if it doesn't work, it was just wasting money.

Here the "good" jobs with a good salary package you only get through connections or recruitment agencies. With you being an American wanting a great salary I see one problem. Indians are great IT professionals, too, but asking for a lower salary which is still much more than back in their homecountry. And these guys are doing a good job!

Great pay you can expect getting employed by an American or European company which mostly offer beside the salary also housing, transportation and health care. This will make life in Dubai much more easier if you want to keep your living standard.

Here are some links to check out. You also can mail them your resume and then you will get a notice when a suitable opening comes up

Nancy asks…

My parents want me to move school practically to the other side of the world?

heeey:) so basically my dads job makes him travel around a lot; he works away so it's normally just me and my mom; but one time we got the opportunity to be a family again, and we moved to Dubai. I was about 10 and was leaving in middle school; I was so upset to leave all the friends I had made. When I went to my new school it was so hard; the education was different the people were different and i found it just so stressful there was no out of school activities however I made friends and got on with life. Then I was told 2 years later I was moving back to my home town because my dad got a job where we couldn't all go:) I was so happy to come back but sad to leave everyone behind. So today I'm told that my dad is getting a new job and we can move to bahrain. I'm in high school now and I have the best friends, best social life, best everything I could ever wish for, im happy at my school and I don't wanna leave; it was so hard for me leaving when I was 10 and I don't wanna go through it all again:(
Please help me xx

Sandra asks…

Please help me improve my response & I'll give you best answer!?

For a childcare job on a cruise ship, I have to answer an application. They're asking- Why do you want to work on a cruise ship (can you make my response sound shorter & less cliche?)

I am looking for new experiences and opportunities in life as well as a possible career in cruise line work. Having lived in Dubai previously I was surrounded by a multi cultural environment and I took pride in learning from a variety of people with different backgrounds. As a sociable person, I enjoy and feel I work my best within a close knit environment. I believe that working on a cruise ship would combine these interests as well as giving me the chance to conventionally travel to places I would not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.

admin answers:

I think it sounds rather good personally. The only real comment that I have is that the following sentence sounds a bit contradictory.

"As a sociable person, I enjoy and feel I work my best within a close knit environment."

Otherwise you have a better than average response offering honesty and diversity. Nice.
