Jobs in Dubai

Once my contract ends I would like to take the opportunity to work in Dubai - to check out the lifestyle as well as earn a reasonable tax-free income.

Does anyone here have experience of applying for jobs/contracts there?

Try Jobserve ? I sent my CV to a couple of jobs on there and got called back by an agency from Dubai the same day. Procedure seemed to be mass interviews and a same day decision in London. You tend to get paid in dollars and the exchange rate made it not worthwhile for me at the time. Just had a search for the past 7 days and no ads in my game came up so I can't tell you the agency in question.

Applied for job, got, dint take in the end because of restrictions + it would have been tricky for my wife. We're always giving it more thought though the big attraction is the location and you're pretty much 6 hours flight away from some of our fav destations.

Might I ask how you found these jobs?

I'd even take a lower paid permie job (well, £50k) just to go for the experience.

You don't need to go all the way to Dubai to live and work tax free in what is essentially a shopping arcade...

loads of people over here are already at it:

Dubai hires cheap Indians so unless the roles are highly specialised, or you are prepared to work for rates that are a bit higher than those in India then forget it.
