Looking for an IT job!! Can someone please help? Aug 29, 2006
Hi,

I've been looking for an IT job for over 2 months now. I guess I started looking for a job at the wrong time. Summer time, everyone's on vacation. I just want to start working again. I have posted it on bayt.com, naukrigulf.com, been looking through gulfnews, etc

Maybe its because I have an American passport? I don't know.. I've had 3 interviews, of which 2 said you're over-qualified and 1 said you have a strong personality (What the heck does that mean?)

I have over 10 yrs of IT experience. I have been a Server/Systems/Technical/Wireless/Customer Support Engineer, and have Lead/Sr. Level experience in various industries like Oil & gas, Banking, ASP (application service provider), Global PC manufacturers like HP, Consulting, etc..

I do have my CV/Resume posted online under my own site. Just PM or email me and i'll send you the site.

If anyone can help or you know of any opening, please PM or Email me

Thanks

Hi Soupie, i started about the same time looking for a job in IT field, i already did the same thing as you did (bayt, naukri, gulfnews, khaleej times, etc.). I do also have more than 12 years experience in distribution, corprate and retail market as well.
Don't give up, keep trying because the IT industry is really good in UAE.

For me i decided to go by end of September to Dubai, they contacted me from Charterhouse and they told me they have some opportunities, but their clients want to meet with candidates face to face, so it might be helpful (at least for me) to be there.

Let me know if you need any other links for recruitment companies, i can send them to you.

Cheers!!!

Hi Soupie,

I know this is not what you are looking for :cry: but I used to earn high commissions selling overseas property - this went off the boil last year and I have started using, selling product and networking My Video Talk. It is so easy to market and you say you have been told you have a strong personality - so it should be easy for you - have a look at some of the following links and come back to me if you are interested - it would keep you going until you get what you are looking for if nothing else! What have you got to lose? Go to www.myvideotalk.com/pamela - click on the 'Showcase' tab under the screen - have a look at the testimonials and also click on the 'examples'. I will send you a couple of other emails related to this matter. All you need is a computer, webcam and broadband! Become a member and recoup your membership cost when you enroll two more members - after that it is money in the bank! :D There are no targets, no contracts, no Boss, no paperwork, no monies to collect, work in your own time, and your market place is global. have you tried doing a CV on My Video Talk - that has been found to be very successful! Conferencing and more - rates start at $6 for 250 minutes per month!
best of luck ~~~~~~~~~~ PamelaCherry :D

Hi Greekman,
I have also started my job hunt in UAE and have planned a trip in December. Can you be kind enough to send me the list of recruitment companies.

Much appreciated.

Hiren

PS: I am looking at Project manager/Test Manager type jobs.
