Finding the Right Job Abroad

The UAE Free Zones host around 10,000 diverse companies. Aside from the sectors described elsewhere (IT, telecommunications, oil and gas, real estate, construction and engineering and accountancy and finance), the UAE has a range of other employment opportunities, whatever your specialist area of interest.

Jobs in Saudi Arabia are not just restricted to engineering and oil-related professions either. There is an enormous range of jobs – the site www.allsaudiarabiajobs.com lists a total of 48 sectors including electronics, pharmaceuticals, building and groundwork, research and development and publishing and printing. Saudi Arabia has a demand for doctors, nurses and surgeons with a variety of specializations. There are usually numerous positions available in one of Saudi Arabia’s 137 hospitals, health centres and specialist clinics for qualified healthcare professionals. Roles include staff nurse, radiologist and medical registrar and midwife (any position which involves dealing with female patients attracts female applicants only.)
Hospitality, Catering and Tourism   

The Middle East has become an increasingly popular holiday destination, and Dubai in particular has seen a meteoric rise in its tourism industry in the past decade. Whatever your level of experience, there are hospitality jobs in Dubai and throughout the Gulf region from waitress, concierge, cruise hostess, hotel front desk executive and steward to souse chef, travel consultant, barman, tour guide and restaurant manager.
