moving to Abu Dhabi. Would like some advice

3 years ago

Hi there,

My friend and I are planing to move to Abu Dhabi around late September this year (providing UAE will start issuing visas again and things settle). She has already got a job lined up (physiotherapist) but I have only just started looking.

I work as a property manager in London, England and would obviously like to continue my career within the sector. I don't have a degree but I have lots of experience in the sector (management and lettings) so am wondering if anyone can advise what my chances are in finding similar type of jobs in Abu Dhabi. I have tried researching online but seem to struggle to find anything certain within the field. Also, lots of job ads required knowledge and experience in the UAE market.

I appreciate things are different at the moment and everything has been affected by the pandemic but would greatly appreciate getting advice on how this would work in normal circumstances to get an idea about my chances.

Thank you very much.
