Appreciate the advice. It perfectly make sense. And the only fear I have is wasting my time there for not having right contacts and land something I don't want.

Any suggestions about which portal should I try to gather information regarding companies? I am on MonsterGulf, Bayt.com, GulfRecruiter, so far.

But people there kept telling me that once my address and phone number on the resume says I am in Dubai, I have way better shot at meeting companies in person than applying online from abroad.
