Jobs in Dubai

[padsam]

Hi there,

I am a recent graduate with a years experience in Real Estate- BSc(Hons) from Heriot-Watt Edinburgh. I'm am trying to move to Dubai, after two months of trying I'm not really much further than when I started. The big multi-nationals seem to be recruiting internally from the UK and Ireland with the credit crunch. I have been advised to only work for a western company based out in Dubai. With the amount of companies competing in Dubai its hard to find the right one-or maybe I am a victim of my own pickiness. I have found recuitment web-sites pretty unhelpful as I am only a graduate their percentages would be quite low and not worth it.

I was thinking about coming out to try and meet people in real esate in October after Ramadan. Is Ramadan a bad time to look for a job with reduced working hours?

Is there specifice web-sites for Real Estate jobs or graduate jobs?

Any help or advice would be great.
(Sorry Mods if this post is in the wrong forum- I'm not using this as a means to get offered a job-just some advice)

?? No you don't. You need a certain number of posts to use the PM facility.

I was planning to move to Dubai in about 12months time to work, is it feasible for someone like my self with only around 3 years experience to go work in Dubai or is it just a pipe dream? All I’m looking for is enough money to support my self and be able to live relatively comfortable. If there is anyone with any information on this please feel free to email me, thank you for any help available

I have now contacted a few companies in Dubai , i will let you know the results and what feed back i get.

Thank you for everyones help

I'm a QS and only had 15 months experience (though have been working in construction for 3+ yrs) when I moved out here. Anything is possible if you work in the construction industry!

Good luck!

Cheers for the encouraging words Maz, I have been working for 2 years as an assitant engineer before i graduated that gave has topped my experience up a bit, i have about 3+ years in total. The projects in dubai look so much more interesting than those in the UK.

I am hopeing that i will be thrown in the deep end as its the best way i thrive at what do.

You definitely will be thrown in at the deep end - over here, it's sink or swim! I'm having to learn to do things that a computer did for me in Uk and having to re-familiarise myself with all those terms from uni that I thought were just boring essay titles!!!

I'm the same mate, that's why I have decided to go to Dubai, nothing better than a bit of daily crisis management to keep you on your toes!
