How to Find Vacancies in Dubai
There Are Effective Ways to Uncover Vacancies in Dubai
Far too many people are sticking with the job that they currently have because they are worried that there are not going to be any vacancies which are available through other employers. Although we certainly are living in times that are difficult to find employment, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should always stay in one particular place. As a matter of fact, it often pays to be on the lookout for other employment, even if you’re not totally unhappy with the job that you have.
A good example of this is if you live in the city of Dubai and have been holding the same job for many years. Often, we become stale in the company because we have been there so long that it is difficult for them to move us in any direction except laterally. If you were to find employment with another company, however, you might be able to move up a few more steps and to better yourself and your families situation in the process.
There are several different ways for you to find other employment. Some people look for it themselves, going out and filling out applications on a regular basis. Other people, however, hire the use of a recruitment agency or perhaps even look for a headhunter that is trying to fill slots at a company that are currently open. If you are highly specialized in your field, you might find that one of these is the perfect way for you to find a new job.
Here are some resources that you will find of high value to your job search:

Hi,
I am a fresher engineering graduate from India looking for a job in Dubai. Does any company provides training for freshers? How to conduct my job search to work as a trainee?
Hello Aswathy,
Fresher or not, training is necessary for new employees. However, not all companies in Dubai provide training for new employees. I suggest reviewing How to Conduct Your Search, one of DET’s most useful guides to help you select and use effective search methods. Good luck!.

Dear Safi,
I have 6 solid years of experience working for mutlinational companies in UK in business development. I am currently based in UK and was wondering what is the possibility of getting a job in Dubai if you are not based there. Are companies still willing to talk to peeople based outside UAE?
Hi Hanna,
Some vacancies require specialized skills that may not be easily found within Dubai. For these types of vacancies, employers are definitely interested in talking with professionals based outside of Dubai.
You seem to have amassed sizable experience from multinational companies. You should definitely try to network with employers in this region to explore the demand for your type of skill set.

Hi Nadeem,
I think you misunderstood the type of service that we provide. We are not a recruitment agency, but we help connect you with recruitment agencies and employers.
That’s it. We will not take a portion of your salary as compensation. Recruitment agents would do that. We will simply charge you a small fee, if you want us to personally help connect you.

G’day
Quite interesting tips, but is it right to say that employers are taking an advantage of the current situation and decrease the budget assigned for a specific position, in so many words, a Technical manager in 2008 at field x would earn $10, but now its like $8?
I fear that many people though they have an extensive experience at a particular field would compromise on their salary requirement so that they secure a job. That would drag down the rates for other positions, right?
I can’t blame both parties though, but being in a senior executive level, I fear that I’ll have an employer arguing with me at the last point (when finalizing the offer with HR)
thx
Hi AJ,
Yes, I agree with you, but I do think that there is a way to get around this problem. How about following a “differentiation” strategy rather than “cost leadership.” What I mean is where people are undercutting one another, you would position your profile and skills in a category that is separate from the rest, so that employers wouldn’t be able to benchmark your salary against those “cost leaders.” Of course, this is much easier said than done.
At any rate, best of luck to you with your job search.
Thanks,
