Coming over really soon

19 years ago

G'Day,
i've finally plucked up the courage to get my act together and work towards coming over to Dubai to get a job and move from Sydney Australia. A few things I want to know from your wealth of experiences...
1. How realistic is it to be expecting to get an apartment as part of my package? I am a relationship manager specialising in business banking with 4 years of experience.
2. Is it worthwhile to visit the recruitment agencies once I arrive there ?
3. Im a little nervous as I dont know anyone there and only know a couple of friends of friends. Is the expat community helpful, Im scared as I have been told that blonde females do get harrassed on the streets by the locals.
4. I would be interested to speak to anyone in the banking industry about their experiences as this would be the industry I would be working in. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]
