Will I be able to find a job in Dubai?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Dubai, they reponded...
"Construction, Tourism, IT/Technology, Media/Advertising, Banking, etc. Dubai is booming and for the last 2 decades the country is actively developing itself. Most people finds job through employment agency," remarked another expat who made the move to Dubai, UAE.
"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," explained one expat living in Dubai, UAE.
