I am based in US and I need IT networking realted job in Dubai? Can anyone help.?


I have Bachelor computer Engineering degree from United States. I have H1 visa from US and have three years working experience in US. Presently I am in India for my companies project. Thought I am an Indian citizen yet. I want to move to UAE and am looking for job in IT Networking. I have both technical as well as marketing expereince with excellent communication skills. I have tried through few websites but havn't got any positive response yet. I would appreciate if anyone can help or advice.

Your best bet is to enlist the services of a head-hunter firm. They'll place you quickly and easily in a very well paid job (because they make their money as a percentage of your salary, so they're vested in landing you a great-paying job).

Go to Dubai as a tourist, and stop by all the placement offices. If you can't travel there, go to your local ManPower, RobertHalf or Accenture office and schmooze your way into getting a referral to someone in their offices in Dubai.

The answerer above gave you some good adresses of recruitment agencies. Here is another good side. Please also check the scams and follow the advices:

It's not a good idea to come here on a visit visa and look for a job. In this case you mostly will get hired on a local contract which means: mostly no housing, no transportation etc.

Please be aware that in the UAE your salary very much depends on your Nationality. By you residing in the US you would negotiate the best 'salary package' incl. housing, transportation etc. while getting hired from the US. If you are used to American living standard you will not be satisfied to receive a salary where you just can afford a bedspace and the rents are skyrocking in Dubai.

Many very well educated Indians especially in the the IT field are satisfied with a third of the salary you are receiving in the US. That's why companies rather hire Indians from India than from other countries with a higher living standard.

Try to get employed with an US, Canadian or any European company.

Take care.
