I Really want to move to Dubai!
 
I am a 25 year old Canadian male sick of living in the artic. I have traveled the world, and love the Middle East…. I have a Marketing diploma, I wonder if that will be enough for a good job? I am currently employed as the Assistant Director of Marketing, for a rag; oh I mean magazine. I have submitted my CV with a head hunting agency (Jobs in Dubai) four months ago, and still no good leads. Any suggestions on how to go about obtaining a good paying job? And any other general comments you may have?

Thanks a Lot

welcome to the forum....ditch the blue text...and read the faq's, you'll get a lot of info, and then ask more questions...but like people have already said, unless your on the ground, agencies won't help much, they get tonnes of cv's all the time, and need to know your serious, once there, you can meet people, show you mean you want to be there.
A decent CV will help, but IT and construction are the main hot spots, don't know about media, that's a tough one to get into, but there's a thread here about someone that got a job...it's all about networking...

Hi fellow Canadian,

I wish you luck in your search. Don't bother with JobsInDubai, they're a scam. I applied with them 7 months ago and never heard from them again. Do it on your own. If you have any questions, let me know. Have a nice artic day ;)

Hi Dan....... welcome to the forum. :)

Sick of the arctic, eh? lol

U could try looking at www.dubaiinternetcity.com or www.dubaimediacity.com. Those 2 places r prolly ur best bet 4 a job.

And like Bob sed....... its best to go thru the FAQ threads and it is even better if u r in Dubai on the ground looking 4 a job. That is the primary way 2 land a job.

Hope that helps.

me to!!!
I know the feeling, don't want to disappoint you but i really think the best option in the long run is to go out there and knock on a few doors.
I have been trying for sooooooo long and nothing there seem to be so many recrutiment agencies - see the forum list.
most don't seem to come or acknowledge how serious you are about it
soz.
im with you, and yes here in uk the weather report says it's going to get cold and snow!!!!! booh :(

anyway keep you chin up
:)
