Likely that the wages will be even lower in Dubai, and the hours longer. The best way to learn is, well, to learn. In this case, do some research. In general, most construction site workers work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day, and make low salary, and live in either company sponsored housing with 4 to 6 beds per room, or in private apartments in that same arrangement. I would expect that whatever income and standard of living you currently have, it is definitely higher than it would be in Dubai. Actually, I would suggest an alternative occupation, starting today. If the construction industry picks up again where you are, then he might re-enter it at that point in time. For now, an alternative occupation, whatever is done, action today might be the best remedy. Plus in the long term it allows diversification, and thus can do whichever is most beneficial at any point in time. Make decisions, whether they are right or wrong, but still make them today and take action today.

In view of the numerous posts here about finding jobs and all the PMs that I receive, may I just remind newer posters that this forum is designed to provide advice and assistance, not to get you a job. We are not a job site. On occasion, some of us may have contacts in particular fields and may be able to provide some assistance, but this should not be expected.

The people who give up their time on a regular basis are not paid, so demand for assistance will not go down well. We want to help, but there is only so much anyone can do for you. When moving to country, you will have more success if you are personally resourceful.

Thank you and good luck.

Hi
Im hoping to move to Dubai with my husband in the Autumn. I am an Occupational Therapist and currertly work within the speciality of Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I have experience of working with children with Autism, and have completed ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) training. As well as a BSC (Hons) Occupational Therapy, I am also currently completing BSC Hons Mental Health studies.
I would be grateful for any advice regarding how to get a job in Dubai. I am also a swimming teacher, and seem to be having more interest in that than Occupational Therapy.
Thanks, Jude

'Salary paying jobs of no use' - what an odd thing to say! Many people have decent jobs with very good salaries. It just depends on whether youa re professionally qualified.

So I take it you are work for a real estate agent, but without experience? Please work on an ethical basis. There are far too many charlatans in that industry who have no regard for their clients and are simply out to make a fast buck. Such a shame.

i simply dis agree with you
i believe in ethics but is seems like you have worked witht he wrong real estate agents before and have a bad thing for it. i am simply stating that the best thing happening in dubai is Real estate and ppl should take advantage of it now before later.... sorry for the misunderstanding. i believe the market portrays agents as something like that but at the end you pick your agent .hte agentdoes not pick you. as for jobs there are a lot of opportunities here and decent paying jobs paying good salaries and some with accomodation. but it is all about the person's ambition. no need judging on the spot i am not bragging about anything you just took it in a negative way.... such a shame too

Please tell me that Real Estate agents are licensed there ! What are the requirements for being an agent ? I sold Real Estate years ago and contemplating getting my license again to have a back up job in case i don't find paramedic position in the John's Hopkins hospital there. I know its looking bleak in that department !

Having been Dubai for a few years, not a few minutes, I assure you I have a good knowledge of the poor practices of many agents. I have had to deal with many on a prefessional basis. There is a reason why real estate agents generally have a poor reputation.


Sassy - agents are not licenced here. Too many wide boys looking to make a quick buck sadly. There should always be a job for someone who understands what they are doing and is professional in their dealing.
