Finding the Right Job Abroad

Over the past few decades, the UAE has developed a wide variety of industries and businesses.  These new businesses and organizations have grown into multi-national corporations, and have developed a need for high level management, information systems, and database administration.  There are a great number of industries and specializations, however each and every one of these roles require some degree of business administration and business management in order to be successful.  This new demand and unique skill set requirement, coupled with the UAE’s low unemployment rate of 2.1%, has led to an abundance of administrative jobs and a shortage of qualified candidates local to the area.

Within the petroleum industry specifically, there is a demand for project managers on new operations, head architects on new plots of land, as well as managers in the field.  These managers must be supported with proper information systems, data collection, and database management.  In addition, many of these industries operate on the basis of external trade and international business.  In keeping with international standards of business, there is a separate set of business management needs and administrative requirements.

As the UAE diversifies itself in new markets and new industries, there is a great need for management and administrative workers.  So long as the economy grows, it will be necessary to increase administration as well. As new UAE jobs are created, they must be managed properly, and it’s safe to say that this field will not be decreasing in size any time soon.
