In order to make a way forward, you need to adopt an out of the box methodology.

Like calling up Doha Bank, speaking with their IT department for getting to know, requesting for a meet with the IT manager.

Likewise you can see their HR manager.

After that you need to do the follow up VISITS, not the telephonic calls.

You can, one day visit the Qatar Financial Center, a lot of foreign banks and companies are located there, essentially looking for IT support.

If you adopt this method, on some of the targeted companies, you would succeed.

LT,

You can explore the opportunities in the financial sector, which offers better than the IT industry packages.

Doha Bank and other banks, Insurance companies, exchange companies, stock exchange brokerage houses, may be listed.

The financial sector generally looks for a professional, to manage their:

a. Customers' Data base

b. Back ups

c. Server maintenance

d. Implementing new IT related up gradation projects.

e. hack control and privacy.

f. trouble shooting of soft and hard wares.

g. maintaining relationships with the IT vendors

and counter parties.

The designation may be called, IT Manager, DB Administrator and Software Manager etc.
