Hi Nib & Yutopian,

Thanks for the info. May be ur friends can help me. WE are looking for some fresh graduates for trainee ship in the hotel industry. The hotel is an internation group and has a property in Doha. Its actually a nice business 5 star hotel. The main preference is for female candidates. Experience is not an issue as long as they have got the right attitude. So if you know of any one interested - do let me know. ALso if you get your friends in Macedonia to refer some one - that would be just cool!

Hello,

You can find a good info here: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/mk.html (CIA's The World Factbook.

GDP - per capita (PPP):

$8,300 (2006 est.)

GDP - composition by sector:

agriculture: 9%

industry: 29%

services: 62% (2006 est.)

Labor force:

899,000 (2006 est.)

Labor force - by occupation:

agriculture: 21.7%

industry: 32.6%

services: 45.7% (September 2006)

Unemployment rate:

36% (September 2006 est.)

Population below poverty line:

30% (2005)

What "profile" you are targeting? What is the job/ project about?

Macedonia was the least developed of the former Yugoslav republics it has lagged the region in attracting foreign investment, and job growth has been anemic. So, they have a large labor force drain...

Regards,

Yutopian
