Question A little advice please....

My girlfriend has just got a job as a primary school teacher in an international school in Dubai. Im 24 years old and currently work as an electrician but would like to find work over there to be with not necessary an an electrician but anything really hotel work bar work or waitering would suffice just somethig that would provide accommodation for me to be there. Has anyone had experience doing this is it possible to find work? Any help would greatly be appreciated thanks.

Unless you have enough experience to get into a restaurant/bar management position in a decent hotel then I’m afraid this is more or less a non-starter. Pretty much all waiting and bar staff are from India or Asia and get paid poorly by Western standards.

If you’re a qualified electrician you’d be better to look to use that to get a job, although again you’d probably need to get into a supervisory position to make decent enough money to make it worth your while. Getting into the oil & gas industry and rotating between Dubai and site might be an option.
