Considering on relocating to Dubai ... What is the best way to find a job
Hey everyone, my name is Mara and I am a newbie 
.
I am 23 years old and really would love to relocate to dubai.
I have applied to a few jobs and have received some great feedback from employers.
Just wondered if anyone could give me some good advice on websites, recommendations on how hard this will be.
I would be grateful for any advice in regards to relocating and how tough the job market is for entry level Brits in dubai

Entry level? Do you mean you don't have a degree or any marketable skills?

I have a degree in psychology and counselling , and have been working in the finance sector for the past 5 months. Prior to that I did admin/customer service roles. So ideally now I'd be looking at admin, marketing or customer services roles .
Many of the jobs I have looked at require 5 + years experience which is something I lack
Just wanted to know how easy it was for recent grads to relocate with less than 5 years continuous work experience

Surely Financial Services Adviser/Wealth Manager? Psychology/Counselling no big market. Admin, marketing, customer service all oversupplied by the Indian Subcontinent/Philipino who work 12 hours a day 7 days a week for peanuts.

Re: Considering on relocating to Dubai ... What is the best way to find a job
I was in the same position as you Mara.. wanting to move from the UK to Dubai with a BA degree and only 3 years of work experience... but I finally got the job I was chasing. I've posted about it in here before, check out my profile and have a stalk through my posting history - it shouldn't be too hard to find the posts where I've written about this as I don't post in here that often.
Best of luck.
Best of luck.
