Many believe that the grass is definitely greener at the other side of the fence. Well, maybe it
really is if you go to Dubai where it is the jobs or the employment that will
run after you. There are a lot of opportunities waiting for you in this emirate.
People from all types of field and from all parts of the world are welcome to
apply here at this wonderful emirate of Dubai. You may have jobs related to the
tourism industry, oil industry, finance, publishing, engineering, training, and
different types of employment that will help you succeed in your chosen career.
One of the most prevalent
Dubai jobs are related to the ever demanding world
of Information Technology. Graduates of computer-related courses such as
Information Technology, Computer Science, Computer Programming, Computer
Engineering and alike can choose from different big time companies that need
their services. These companies are usually looking for graduates who specialize
in different IT languages such as Oracle, Visual Basic, C++, SQL, and PHP. Aside
from the very excellent salary, Dubai companies also give these programmers and
web developers several benefits including housing, food allowance and more while
they are still working for that particular company. Moreover, foreign workers
who have been in their jobs for quite a long time may also bring their family
with them and live in the same house provided by the company. Either the company
pays for the air fare or the family members are the ones who must pay for it.
Engineers and those who are expert in the construction industry have also a lot
jobs and employment opportunities. This is because Dubai is now one of the many
places that develops more than hundreds of real estate properties every year.
Hotels, resorts, and high-rise buildings with unique architectural designs as
well as residential investments are the common projects that are currently being
developed in the emirate of Dubai. Some of the needed applicants in Dubai are
Structural Engineers, Electrical Engineers, and Civil Engineers. Also, those who
are experts in piping, mechanic maintenance and electrical circuits are invited
to apply and work for these companies. Some of the benefits include car and
housing provision, food and transportation allowance, medical insurance,
education for their children who lives with them in Dubai, and of course, air
fare if they wish to go back to their local country.

Although most of the jobs mentioned above require professionals and people
having a lot of experience in the field, there are also jobs for semi-skilled
and semi-professional workers as well. And although Dubai allows foreign workers
to work in their territory, most of these workers are only temporary or
contractual. Some were not allowed to go back to their own country for at least
3 years or so. Afterwards, if they wish to go back to Dubai again, they must
have their contract renewed in order to fly back to the emirate and work. Many
still do so because the government of Dubai does not deduct personal taxes.
Therefore, their net income is usually higher than the income they could get
from their local countries.
The working hours in Dubai companies may vary from forty to forty-eight hours,
which of course depends on the policy of the company. The office hour for all
type of jobs starts either 8:30 or 9 in the morning. On the other hand, the
shift usually ends at 5:30 in the afternoon or 6 in the evening. For the
companies that only requires five working days every week, usually give their
employees a break during Saturdays. Friday is a weekly holiday since this is
considered as a rest day for Muslims.
