Hi everyone,
Background:
I am a 46 year-old Greek citizen with a History Ph.D. (British university) who has taught for over 10 years mostly ESL in S.E. Asia and I am really keen to move to Dubai or UAE and work in another industry, business-related or whatever might consider me useful. Of course teaching is always fine with me but I have no teaching qualifications (despite my over 10 years experience) apart from my Ph.D.
Question:
Unfortunately I have no idea about how to even go about applying to companies as one who is willing and able to carry over his skills and experience to those companies' aims and needs. I also am not sure if I can trust (and which?) recruitment agencies in that region (or anywhere for that matter) which I have not known about.
Specifically:
I know this is not much to start on, but I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on how to look for a job, which recruitment agencies to trust or at least try, and, if possible, which non-teaching sectors might be interested in my services.
Many thanks,
Van
PS I am not sure if this helps but, although I am fluent in Greek, my main language is English and I have used it as a medium for teaching all levels of courses (from Elementary to University).
