One section of the Emirati working world that is going
from strength to strength is the events industry. As a
nation with a wealthy, hedonistic expat population
as well as being somewhere that is a top destination
for the world’s jet-setting rich; events such as parties,
conferences and cultural ceremonies are an extremely
regular occurrence here. If you’ve got a penchant
for organisation and like having an active working
life, this would be an ideal position for you within
the UAE. Hospitality roles are also available in great
numbers, with the nation’s growing numbers of hotels,
restaurants, clubs and bars just begging for experienced
and confident staff.
Some of the biggest and best companies to work for
in the Emirates are logistics companies, with familiar
names such as FedEx and DHL ruling the roost when it
comes to getting things delivered. The latter has actually
been voted the best company to work for in the whole
country. You do need a UAE driving license in order to
make courier deliveries but don’t panic if you’re not a
driver. Logistics is a huge industry which encompasses
many varied job roles, any of which might take your
fancy.
As a country with no nationalised healthcare and
many private and public schools, public service roles
in hospitals, dental surgeries and schools are always
available to qualified candidates. While you may not
have that medical degree under your belt quite yet, the
demand for nurses, medical technicians, receptionists
and researchers is very high. As for education, the UAE
would really make for a teaching job with a difference.
With such a wide variety of nationalities living in the
Emirates, your class would be made up of the children
from a huge range of backgrounds. A challenging but a
rewarding role.
