Default Hi from Antarctica!

Hi All!
My name is Gerhard Laubscher. I am currently doing contract-work on the Antarctic continent at the SANAE base for the South African Government until March 2k9, afterwhich I will return to Cape Town, looking for new job oppertunities. My reason for joining this forum is to realize a dream in working in Dubai, thus finding out more about job-oppertunities in Dubai, how-to-guide into securing a job etc. Currently I am employed as the 'Electronic Engineer' for our Overwinter-team of 10 people. My responsibilities include Electronic equipment maintenance, managing our network and basically looking after all the electronic systems on the SANAE base. I am 46yrs old, and well, yes, thats about it!

I am looking forward to chatting with people who are currently working in Dubai or can give me any advise or interesting information re my quest to securing a working oppertunity in Dubai.

I hope that I can add to this forum in a meaningfull way in the future as much as I wish to learn from all of you here!

Have a great day!

Warm regards from a cold place!

btw, you can check-out my website and click on 'SANAE views' for more information regarding working on the Antarctic Continent at the SANAE base.

Wow, you are not only working in Antarctica, but over-wintering. Dubai will mean quite a climate change for you. Why did you decide to work in Antarctica, and why for the winter?

Welcome
Think its got to be the first post from someone in Antarctica. My brother in law used to be master at arms on the Navy research vessel that is / was stationed down there for 6 months at a time and he bought back some stunning photos
