IT Roles and how to find them
Hi Guys - I know this topic has been covered many a time. However I am struggling to find a role an IT role in Qatar.
1st of all I would like to come here because my Mrs is working here, and it was hard to be apart.
I have 12 plus years experience in the UK in technical/Infrastructure architecture on SME and enterprise clients, so my experience is vast.
I have contacted and met a number of agencies and also posted my CV on Baty, Gulftalent etc.
I have also emailed my CV to a number of organisations:
Meeza, Qatar Foundation, Aspire, QNB the list is endless, I have also followed up with phone calls and not getting hold of anyone.
Is there anything else I can try. I hear from lots of people that there are lots of jobs and they are looking for people with my experience from the west, however is this a myth?
Any help would be appreciated..
A rather deflated wannabe expat :(
Dear UK Sully,
I have been in qatar for past 3-months still know i cant find a good job.
Applying in BAYT , Gulf talent and applying for the job vacancy which has been posted in gulf times is such a waste of time.
No one will reply...
There are 3 main reasons
1) Visa Problem
2) NO GCC Experience
3) They hire only if u have a reference
Dont waste your time in Qatar better u can search job in uk where u have 12yrs experience.

If it is the case that competition is so fierce here then maybe time to head back to the UK and go contracting :)
Firstly, your network consists of your colleague. This word colleague requires that you think outside of the box as this becomes the place where both PAs and NPs need to recognize each other. We now have three major publications or journals that cater to the needs of both professions in one journal.

You are a victim of global workforce competition in its worst. Many other experts in your caliber or better will accept half the wage you demand. Good wishes.
Optimus, are you a millionaire yet?
UK sully,
I strongly believe that working here for a blue chip is not an ideal solution, what you need to focus is how to be a sucessful IT entreprenuer
for a start,
look at providing e - services solution to company. I know that you may or not be a techie for web designing but you can alway hire them on "rent a programmer .com" and they will charge you a minimum fee, this way try to make peoples life easier one thing i thought of is
Issue : People have issue fixing their wkstns caught with virus, constant crashes e.t.c.
resolve : make their life easier , by offering a solution online or dial a repair of computers and printers
a) have a tie up with a local logistics company that will pickup desktops from their houses and have it repaired at a workshop then deliver it back to them and charge a commision on all OEM that you install
b) for small scale industries, enable a web site for them to conduct buisness online, like preparing quotes online , procurement online and delivery process (KISS strategy (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach in doing business)
c) providing consumables to consumers with online purchases at prices much cheaper than over the counter purchases theryby benefitting from low cost startups
(Issue with Doha at the moment is that counter sales charge 300 % profits margin, covering the rental charges, overheads etc , but if move the amazon way out here, you need not pay high rentals on commercial properties, just hire a warehouse at the outskirsts of the city and then benifit from low cost operating costs)
I have more ideas that could make you a millionaire
