Dubai Jobs for UK, USA and EU Nationals

Finding a dream job in Dubai is not an easy task. People wait for years to go to Dubai and then struggle for a long time to get their dream job. For instance it has appeared that Dubai is so far best for people who are UK, USA or EU nationals. Why I am saying so depends on a lot of factors. Some of them are as follows:

The very first reason why UK, USA and EU nationals get better jobs in Dubai and rest of UAE is that they are preferred by the companies there. They are considered much more secured employees and they are unlikely to switch jobs very frequently. Obviously they are being paid high that is why they do not switch jobs quickly. The second reason is that they are considered more competent than others. The education standards in USA, UK and EU are far better than other countries in the world that is why the nationals of these countries get much better jobs in Dubai and other GCC countries.

The next reason is that the Government of Dubai finds UK, USA and EU national’s better and secured citizens. They find low risk in providing them residence visas and work visas. Another reason here is that the support of USA, UK and EU governments to the GCC countries. They have played a major role in the development of GCC countries including Dubai and they have provided a great technical support to these countries.

The employers in Dubai actually have set certain standards. They pay the people of different countries looking up to the economy of their home country to which they belong. As we know America, England and other countries are economically strong therefore the employers in Dubai have to pay them accordingly whereas employees belonging to Asian countries are relatively paid less. How many of you do agree with the reasons provided here? I hope everyone will do agree with one or more reasons here.

Relation between Dubai Jobs and Language

Well you might be a bit surprised to see the title and you might be wondering that what relation there could be between language and jobs in Dubai. But to your surprise there is a deep relation between the both. If you want to seek employment in Dubai or any other GCC country it is necessary for you to at least have complete command on three languages namely English, Arabic and your mother tongue.

The reason why I am saying so is that Dubai is a global hub and all the multinational business have their presence over their. No doubt English is the main business language in Dubai and other UAE countries but what you need while doing job in Dubai is to maintain healthy relation with the investors and the customers. Most of the business in Dubai is associated to trade, travel and tourism which means people fro all over the world come to Dubai for spending holidays, for shopping and for finding jobs. If you know multiple languages it gets easy for you to find a job in Dubai and get settled quickly.

Knowing different languages is a person’s strength in Dubai. He can communicate with others in a better way. Can understand different situations easily and can maintain a healthy and long term relation with the customers and investors. If you know more than these three basic languages then your future is 100 percent bright because you are a person who could be a source of effective communication for any company. Companies in Dubai are always looking for employees who have good communication and language skills. So, if you want to get employed quickly in Dubai then do learn different languages (preferably more than 3) and do not forget to mention that in your CV. Try this intelligent way and polish your luck for finding job in Dubai.

Approaching Companies In Dubai For Job

Dubai is so far one of the best places on the planet Earth. People belonging to different countries want to find a dream job in Dubai as it has all the amenities and necessities of life. Moreover, it is full of luxury and people living there could enjoy each and every bit of life. Ever since Dubai emerged as a business hub people are looking for different methods to find a job in Dubai.

There are a lot of different ways for finding a dream job in Dubai but the best is to approach companies by your self. Dubai is the heart of every multinational company therefore finding a reputable multinational company for employment won’t be a tough task. UAE and GCC nationals who don’t have any kind of trouble traveling to Dubai should go to Dubai and visit the offices of those multinational companies where they want to seek employment. They can ask for vacancies and apply for them directly by dropping their CV with the HR department. This is so far the fasted source of getting contacted by the companies in Dubai.

Other than that people who cannot travel to Dubai for this purpose or those who do not have a visa can always contact different multinationals through their website. Almost every multinational business in Dubai has an online presence and they provide career opportunities online as they are always looking for energetic, determined, dynamic and hardworking employees who can play an effective role in the success of their business. People can submit their resume online on the websites of different companies and get a timely response from them.

The above mentioned are the two best ways of approaching companies in Dubai directly for the purpose of getting a job. Whichever method you use for finding job in Dubai it is really important for you to give your best shot there. You don’t perform well then remember there are hundreds and thousands of people waiting to replace you. So, when doing job in Dubai you need to pull up your socks every moment for long term employment.

Construction Jobs in Dubai

A few years before, Dubai was known for its oil reserves. But when it disclosed to the rulers of Dubai that the oil reserves will not last long they planned to make Dubai a place for Business, Travel, Tourism and Trade. It is the success of that plan that today Dubai is known as a global business hub and one of the best places all over the world for travel and tourism.

The plan to make Dubai a global business hub and a place for travel and tourism led Dubai towards development. Huge investment was done and a lot of construction projects were started. Now Dubai has one of the finest construction projects in its bucket. People all around the world related to the field of construction made there career in the real estate construction sector by doing different jobs in this field.

Under the current scenario where the construction of various projects have been halted due to some financial problems people who wanted to get settled in Dubai and do job related to construction are a bit scared. They think that they won’t be able to get a job and even if they get one there monthly pay will not be paid on time. No, doubt what they fear is somewhat correct because the global financial crisis caused many people doing construction related jobs to suffer. Their pays were being delayed, they were fired, and they had no other job opportunities. Well if you have some fear due to all this I must tell you that you don’t to worry know and you must take a bold step towards finding a construction job in Dubai. Why I am saying so because all the construction projects which were once halted are slowly and gradually again getting resumed. The inflow of financed for the construction projects have started and a new time-line for the completion of almost all these construction projects is being identified.

People are now moving to other GCC countries but I think if someone wants to make his career in Dubai then construction related jobs are still a great option. Going to Dubai and getting employed with a well reputed construction company now could really bring some good luck for one because Dubai is almost back on its track of success and soon it will re-gain its original position. So, find job in a construction company now because soon this sector will be again on its peak.

Jobs in Dubai - Current Situation

The whole world is out of the financial crisis but Dubai is still under financial pressure. It is because Dubai stands among those countries which got affected the most due to the global financial crisis. A lot of construction projects got halted, many companies went bankrupt and thousands of people left Dubai.
The real estate sector of Dubai is the single sector which had to suffer the most during the financial crisis. But now things are getting better day by day for Dubai and the Government has taken real positive steps to fight any such conditions in future. People who want to go Dubai and get settled over there for doing job should understand that Dubai is not a place for those who do job. No doubt Dubai is a global business hub and its long term future is bright but currently it has nothing to give to the working class. The house rents are high, utility bills are high and the over all cost of living is relatively higher than other GCC countries. Therefore people who want to go middle east should stop thinking about Dubai and should go to countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman where people have more secured jobs, living cost is less and risk is less.
Dubai will no doubt again emerge huge on the scene but currently it is not a place for people who want to do job in Dubai.
