Looking at Networking!
Evening all..... I have recently visited the beautiful place you call home and enjoyed it so much I have handed in my notice and will be heading out to Dubai in November.... I have a degree in Management (gained a 2:1) and I currently work as an Account Manager for Unilever (Leeds) and Smith & Nephew (Hull).
As I noticed while I was in Dubai and from my research its all about 'Networking' in order to find work, so what best place to start then on the Expats website.... You have all made the leap and your all living and working in Dubai... Therefore I am here selling my Qualifications and experience.... Looking at moving into HR as this is the main area that I work in.... however I am open minded and looking at many options as this is a new chapter in my life.... so please feel free to either contact me and I will be happy to supply my CV....
I hope you can all be as friendly and as helpful as the Expats I met while staying in Dubai!
Regards
Neil

Re: Looking at Networking!
Well good luck with your migration but please try and stay in employment before coming over. The employment market is more structured in the Middle East and if they want an HR then it will be an experienced HR and may ignore you.
You know, my company has a few HR from Unilever - a well respected company - but they come from the Indian Company and would give you a very good run for your money.
Good luck anyway. If you really are working out your notice then please take my advice and spend it full time trying to get work before you arrive.
Good luck.

Re: Looking at Networking!
I like your style !!
Get onto the gulf news website and find the names of the recruitment consultants and make contact. they will be the best people to advise you of the hurdles you will need to overcome and what to expect. You will have to keep on chasing though ! You have the right determination and this is still a developing economy so hopefully you will find something. best of luck, Foxes
