Job seeking within the current economic climate need not be all doom and gloom if one knows where to look for that next big career move.

In fact, its times such as these that encourage and inspire people to make that longed for change. Inspired by the will to seek personal development, testing times allow our minds to wander on a larger scale of ‘what if’…

Life really is too short for most of us, and now is as good a time as any to follow those dreams. Avoiding the gloomy European weather could be on your wish list – but what if a holiday just isn’t enough??

As a skilled professional, the world really is your oyster and what better place to start looking for work than the Middle East?

Dubai is a vibrant, sun drenched city with international vacancies on every corner. As with any other place in the world, it doesn’t remain immune to economic downturns, but it could be said that the Gulf Region remains better placed to weather the storm better than most.

Storms, unless of the sandy variety, are something you won’t see very often here and skilled expats are welcomed with open arms. To work in Dubai most nationals must be sponsored by an employer.

While the Middle East might not be the first place that springs to mind for a working holiday, says there are plenty of things to like about Dubai.

Over the past two decades, thousands of professionals have entered the UAE and enjoyed the lifestyle that tax free salaries and year round sunshine bring. Dynamic Dubai has expanded astronomically, creating unprecedented demand for foreign labour.

Unlike other Gulf States, Dubai has a diverse economy with a range of sectors including construction, healthcare, media, IT and engineering. Now a popular holiday destination, jobs in hospitality and retail have boomed as hotels and malls soar skyward.

However, Rents have recently risen and careful consideration must be taken financially if your goal is to save those Dirhams whilst you are here.

To work in Dubai you need a job offer from an employer, who will then organise your work visa. You’ll have to get any educational qualifications certified so it’s advisable to organise this in advance.

As expats ourselves living and working in the Dubai, the best advice we could give would be to enter the UAE on a visit visa to get a feel for the place and scout for work. No commitment necessary, you will get some insight into the culture of the emirates and working life here. You’ll be able to make an educated decision on whether working here is the right thing for you.
