There are things you need to know about Dubai before you can go about finding a job. We highly recommend prior to emigrating to Dubai that you do your due diligence and make sure that this is in fact the city you would like to work in. Most people that want to work here have no clue about the situation and move here first on tourist visa's spending huge amounts of money before securing any form of job or position with a company. Then when they find out the compensation isn't exactly what they were looking for, they are already in the hole, with thousands of dollars spend, and end up going right back to where they came from. So although this step is simple, make sure you want to work in Dubai before you come here, then make sure you find companies online that are hiring for your particular skill sets and work experience and do your research for all the best possible available jobs in Dubai.

Recruitment agencies in Dubai are a great way to pre-screen your potential employers. Once you are sure of the types of salary you’re looking for and the type of employer, you can begin finding them on jobsites online, or find out recruitment agencies that best serve your particular needs. It always best to find agencies that have been around for a while and have a successful track record in getting job placements for people. You can measure the reputation of a recruitment agency by the length and years of service in Dubai.

Finding a job is not as hard as most people think it is, but first you need to build yourself a full CV which includes all your work experience, skills, and knowledge. There are many agencies and jobsites online that help you find jobs in a reverse method. Instead of you applying to postings online, you simply submit your resume and the industries you would like to work in and most job sites match you with potential employers, and if any potential employers are impressed with your CV they will contact your for phone or face to face meetings. Many companies that originate from outside Dubai usually use recruitment agencies to find quality professionals for them so they don't have to go through the hoola hoops of the hiring process.

In Dubai it is a very competitive and growing workforce, and people often work very hard over long periods of time. When applying for a job keep in mind that you are trying to secure a contract position within a company for at least 1-3 years time minimum because you will have to relocate to Dubai, cost of living and working can vary from cheap to very expensive depending on your needs. You will also need to apply for a work visa, which usually is done for you through your employer. Work visas are up to a maximum of 3 years and can be renewed after every 3 year period. Most employers also give time once or twice a year to go back to your home country and visit family. Sometimes it is paid for by the employer and other times it is your responsibility to find your way home and back. Some employers even provide lodging and free food which helps tremendously with lowering your cost of living and can help you earn more money for your valuable time.
