Hi,

I have had my CV posted on a number of recruitment websites in the UK looking for a position as a Trainee Financial or Mortgage Advisor. I have had a lot of interest from UK based companies such as Banks, Building Societies, Estate Agents and Brokers. On most of the recruitment sites I stated that I did not want to relocate. However, yesterday while I was at work, I received a phone call on my Mobile Phone from a +41 number. After a little research I found that this was a number registered in Switzerland, in Zurich. I called it back and an English speaking lady answered. She said that they had received my CV from TotalJobs and wanted to offer me a position as a Financial Advisor in Dubai. She caught me at a bad time (we were really busy at work and my manager was stood next to me) so I said I wasn’t interested. She said to call back if I changed my mind.
After speaking with my mum and dad about it, I have decided that this may be the opportunity of a lifetime. I am only 18 but have a great deal and knowledge about the financial services, and have no ties in the UK as I am still living at home, so no mortgage or bills to pay.
I have no knowledge regarding jobs in Dubai, only from reading small articles on websites so I have no idea what would be a good package in respect to salary and benefits, as well as what it is like living there.
So, what salary would be reasonable for someone moving there, maybe for 6 Months to a Year? And what benefits would I expect? Also, what is it like living there and communication with friends and family back in the UK?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Scott

P.S. My girlfriend is currently training to be a Nurse (she is nearly 17), what are jobs like in healthcare like over there?
