Can I get a Job in Doha? I have close to 5 years of experience in QA.
Hello there,
I am a 26 yr old Indian with close to 5 years of experience in varied feilds like Electrical purchasing, Software Testing and Game Testing with good hands on SAP in Materials Management(MM) module. Currently working as a Senior QA Lead in one of the reputed company. I am looking for a job in Doha where my skill-sets and my expertise can get me good package and good life.
Kindly help.
Hi. Try with Dopet (Doha petroleum Construction Company) You may get a job. It seems that people are getting more sarcastics these days than helpful. Tnx
Nice job on getting 5 years of experience at 26 mate. I guess. I'm almost walking in your shoes, I'll be on par with you by the time I'm 26.
Anyways, You seem to have a diverse exposure. Which is good as you can grab opportunities that come almost along those lanes. But I doubt if Doha is the right spot for you.
You might get lucky with an a job relating to an Electrical domain and even SAP or ERP/BPR, but you can wipe out any hopes of game testing.
The thing is Doha has developed only in a short span of time, say 10 years or lesser. Due to this, the diversity of the development is limited. There are opportunitites for the Energy Sector, Manufacturing of construction materials, Finiancial sector, Travel, Hotels and yea...quite a lot of administrative work.
When I mean there are opportunities, I mean, you have to really slog and find out the job for you. Thats the way it works in Qatar.
Then again, if you get accepted by the company, you still need labor clearance. This clearance is done by the labor department here, they scan you profile and lets the company know if you can work here in Qatar. Many people will tell you different theories for the success of this clearance, but bottomline..its classified as a hurdle.
But then its like any other hurdle, for example, its the same hurdle to get a work permit in the UK.
Hope this information helps.
5 years experience at the age of 26. Do you started working in Kindergarten dude. I thought child labour is banned. lolz...
Peace.
