Kavita,

you must understnad the followng

1. Qatarisation is in full swing and it is difficult to get a banking job for an expatriate.

2. There are vcancties in sales of credit cards etc, but it is not permanent,, after 6 months they terminate, in case you dont reach their target

3. Why peopel reach Qatar in hope of "I want a Bank job". They must accept whatever jobs avaiable in the market.

4. what is your expeirnce in Banking . Any speicilaized fields ?

5. There are some back office Bank jobs,, mostly calcualting & secretarial,,, are you looking for such jobs

Pls dont misunderstand, I am telling you some facts

Yes its true that Qatarization process is going on in almost all the banks & govt. companies. Getting approval from labour department for clerical level or ever for senior level staff is hardly impossible unless there is special skill/qualification required for specific position. U can try in MNC or in other reputed pvt. cos. for time being and continue applying for banking post even.

hi dear sorry to say u this but Qatarization is going on an it is very difficult to get. I got selected for one the bank but after 7 months they told labour department rejected and the reason was qatarization. I suggest u to apply somewhere else but dont loose hope. End of the day luck matters............
