Dubai, The UAE
Will I be able to find a job in Dubai?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Dubai, they reponded...
"It depends really. The Oil & Gas give the best opportunities based on the salary and benefits offered, Real Estate / Construction were also main industries before the economic crisis. There are always job openings for the hospitality industry but usually do not pay as much, but these jobs are always the best entry jobs if considering to move to the UAE as the companies usually provide the accommodation, so it is easier to make a move from them rather than coming on a visit visa and then hunt job. Newspapers and websites are reliable and great tools in finding new jobs," said another expat in Dubai, UAE.
"Foreigners often have jobs in Dubai in a variety of industries, such as hospitality, finance, engineering, construction, retail, and technology. Many foreigners also work in the tourism industry, providing services such as tour guides, hotel staff, and restaurant workers. Additionally, many foreigners work in the oil and gas industry, providing technical and administrative support. Other popular jobs for foreigners in Dubai include teaching, accounting, and marketing," wrote a member who made the move to Dubai, the UAE.
