Looking for a job in Dubai

celina I'm interested in moving to Dubai as I grew up there. I went there for a visit last year and fell in love with the place again so I would love to move back there. I'm an Assistant Category Manager with Petro-Canada with 9 years marketing experience. I've been looking for a job in Dubai for the past 4 months using all the online recruitment sites I can find i.e. and others but have not had any success. I'm surprised because I have not had any issues getting job offers in Canada and was successful at getting hired at Petro-Canada, one of the largest oil companies in Canada, so I assumed that if I didn't have any issues here that I would have any finding a job in Dubai which is apparently not the case Any help or insight that anyone could provide me would be greatly appreciated Thanks Celina

bonk Try contacting oil companies directly - read a book called What color is my Parachute first. Or if that's too much, read about . If you're a marketing manager, think about finding a job as a marketing project. :).
Here's some that may be worth trying. celina I already tried contacting the oil companies directly and the agencies you recommended and haven't gotten a single response.... Maybe Its my resume format as I have it in the format we use here...can you recommend a good resume writing service? bonk

That's not entirely surprising. Dubai companies are typically unresponsive. Try a follow up phone call?

can you recommend a good resume writing service?

You bet: :mrgreen:.
Apart from that, sorry, no :(. I've always written my own, with the aid of various CV writing and job hunting books. Which might explain why I'm currently unemployed :wink: ... mighty.one Hey Bonk! That is a great compilation of tips on how to write the perfect CV. I think it would be useful for us to work together in boosting the sites that we are striving to make popular. Send me a PM if you're interested. celina Thanks Bonk! Much appreciated. This info is great... sankyx i think i have to make some calls too... because i sent some emails to companies and i havent got any answer :? :?
