Why finding a job in Doha so hard?

Let me tell why. Because majority of recruiters in Qatar (also inn GCC) are unprofessional people. They mostly hier their own nationalities (especially South Asian) therefore other nationalities cannot find a job there. I predict that with this situation there will not be a better (productive) future for GCC countries because they do not hire thinking brains UNFORTUNATELY.

Hello, it was hard for me to find it but finally I found it here https://www.worldtalentjobs.com/ although there are many other pages where you can leave your cv and find it

My name is Onyeakposi Tobias. I am from Nigeria but i am in Kenya. I want to work in Qatar and I have submitted my CV to so many sites but I have never received a single call from employer and I am suspecting that my CV may be the problem. Please help me out, send me your email address and let me send my CV to you so that you can arrange it professionally please. I want to also give my own testimony please sir. Here is my email address: [email protected]. God bless you sir.

Finally going back to USA no need a Dam job in doha, thanks everyone, and good luck for all....

what to do this is the life

I am aware its a bit of an old post but the way I do it is:

1> What is it that the job profile demands in accordance to the area of expertise of the company. Have a fair idea of the products and services they provide would help you get a clear picture of the kind of person they are looking to hire.

2> My prior work experiences an how can I link it to the job description along with a few a services/ products they offer that I have work on before.

3> Prior to the interview create a mental image of yourself being in the job position they are recruiting for along with points 1 and 2.

Just a suggestion

Please,sir can u help me also i came across what u told doha33.then i say to myself that this could be my chance to get a job([email protected])thanks God bless

Frenchies Chk your inbox.

nimbupani lolol

ur name is so musical :)

Now can we please stick back to the topic?

We are talking about bayt.com here!

Best thing is to be from Kerala and then you can find a job easy.

tahsinmim, you are a loser and it does not take much to

know that.

Your statements make no sense and you and your idiot friends talk crap all day long while being paid for your daily jobs that you complain that it does not pay much.. wel duhhhh?? pay you for chatting you clown?

my personal experience with bayt.com, they had my cv for a year, and there competitor reedglobal.com had my cv , in a year i got 4 job offers from reedglobal.com and 0 interview or even call from bayte.com all i got from bayte.com we just ads for IT training, that I've had for many years

im a certified MCITP RedHat-CE soon IBM-AIX admin

It is a statistic made by one of those job hunting sites..

I could not believe myself until my friend showed me.

I will try to get the link

Bayt.com is a Scam.

The owners of this website and similar ones actually get interviews for $$. Of course they do not announce that. The more people that join their website is better for them. Your profile and CV NEVER gets seen no matter how qualified you are. It works like Leads.. They know who is hiring and have direct contacts with them.. Let's just say people within Bayt, know how to make money :)

As to the main question.. Well picture this, You got more than 1.5 billion people's eyes on qatar and most wanna have a job here!... Do you know that companies are scared to post a job online because sometimes their servers get FLOODED and spammed by CVs?

This is why!

1st of all don't use that site (bayt.com) i never ever header anyone of my friends or colleagues ever got an interview and hardly had there CV viewed, all u get is just a spam of ads.

2nd nationality doesn't matter, it all depends on what job you looking for. for example if you looking for IT job there r fields in IT if you know will get u a job instantly. i guess same thing applies to other jobs as well

im also an american.. i submitted my cv almost everywhere but no luck yet.

y do u always assume americans want a huge salary or wont transfer der visas..

i would take any job i get and ready to transfer my visa..

call center.. help desk.. watever it takes.. any help ??

thank you for the explanation...... i find your post very informative ...and i like the way you present your ideas in good style of English :)

Keep ur try...will find one!

And you did not get what I mean.

doha0303, have you found a job? if not, drop me a message. Thanks.

The sad reality is that most teachers currently teaching your very kids here in Qatar are not qualified teacher!

Even you are not qualified so why point fingers at others.

owh i see........ well, normally what kind of schools in qatar which offer 'unqualified teachers'? is it private or government schools? if these teachers are not qualified, then how come i see 'demanding requirements' of advertisement in most job sites. something like: they only want 'native english speakers' for the teacher position?

Well...Its a quite a help for me after going through different replies from the fellow forum mates....when i posted few queries about finding a job, i have got only few responses :-(... Now i know fillies are always given preference all over....Welcome to qatar !!!! (:-P)

frenchies, if most of the teachers in qatar are not qualified, then how did they get the job in the first place?

yes that is the same advice I give to ppl that you got from bayt consultant. Everyone please follow that advice and then see how fast the calls come.

I have edited friends CVs and few weeks later amazing results. One friend though was hard to conveince, but after I changed his CV he is now getting calls even from UAE.

So key words, and professionism on the CV pointing out your achievements, and what you can bring to the company will give you results.

Cheers

Best wishes

Hi doha0303,

I really identify with your problem here, when I first arrived and found myself in a similar predicament, so I thought I would offer you my 2 cents...

As hshammout11mentioned above get your CV online and searchable on popular jobsites like Bayt among others.

@mimiloves2sing yes I agree getting a good CV is so important! I dint quiet realize it until I had a chance to speak to a career consultant from bayt.com at a job fair. I was told that for my online CV I need to focus on keywords (to make it search friendly) and for my word CV I need to focus on length and information placement. Ideally CV length should not extend more than 3 pages.

Alternatively I also found this super useful checklist on an online group, its from Bayt.com and really helped me organize myself: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Are-you-looking-job-Download-3177542.S.95825138

I hope this helps, good luck and do let us know how you fare :)

bayt is the worse ever

All my interview calls came from Gulftalent or bayt. Because i have a professionally written CV that stands out over the rest, as the interviewer pointed out.

Take time to invest in yourself, and make sure your cv is well written ....to sell yourself to your potential employer on what you can bring to the company vs. just filling a job post with the wrong person.

Best wishes.

I suggest that you use also the online recruitment sites like:

monstergulf.com

bayt.com

qatarlabour.net

it will help you to see the salary range too

good luck

try using

monstergulf.com

bayt.com

qatarlabour.net

it will help you to see the salary range too

good luck

The whole "education system" in Qatar is flawed! Teachers are hired and registered with the SEC. That's it. No chance for promotion through further studies. You're stuck with what you bring here. And for the monkey salary teachers are paid, you get what you pay for. By the way 10% of Qatar's GDP goes into military expenses, 4% goes into buildings for education (not into education per se).

wat is mulitiasking

Also try linkedin...good for getting jobs :)

@mimiloves ... I never thought in that way (selling myself :D) Thank you for this idea :)

And LOL@ monkeys won't understand :D baburao trolled :D

Has nothing to do with the design of the CV

but the words that describe YOU.

What makes you stand out over all the rest?

Why chose YOU?

Explain your accomplishments what you did for the company.

Example: I improved restaurant sales by 20% in just 2 months by using different marketing techniques

just saying you have ex amount of experience and hard worker...anyone can and does say that.

Focus on selling yourself on your CV stand out in terms of what you can positively bring to the company that makes you more desireable then just filling a job.

@ Badu...yeah multi-tasking, something women are good at doing....something monkeys won't understand

Cheers

@tahsinmim .. Yeah, many told me no vacancies anywhere, market tight here, etc.. Well I have a backup (Trust's Exchange) they had selected me but the payment is less there, so was waiting :3

@mimiloves ... I make separate CVs in terms of design n layout for each company I send. It can happen that I am sending the wrong design to the wrong people :D Will shuffle them once again and see ;)

mulitiasking?

sorry my post double posted......

busy mulitiasking

Hackrishna,

As everyone says, it comes down to your CV. How is it written?

What is on it reflects if you will capture their attention over the other 1000 CV's they get, does it fill the needs for the post the company has?

Maybe have a your CV reviewed by a professional CV writer....then have them revise it for you using Key words that show what you can do for the company. To Stand out over everyone else with same skills & experience.

It is about patience also

Same here :( Not getting any jobs :3 Submitted CV to almost all companies in Qatar.. Nobody's calling me :| Maybe coz I dnt have previous GCC experience o.O

Kat yep very true about the type of work you are experienced in, if the position can be filled local the mindset is.....why hire a American that will want more salary then a different nationality?

Wasta, I have but lol kat i dont have the right wasta so im out of here.

even with a catchy, professional cv it all came down to wrong visa.

lol and they say being American with upon arrival visa is transferable.... ya right....

Can u be my wasta?

It is EASY if you are on husbands rp, just need patience as this is Qatar they move slow in HR, but they get over 100+ applications a day. IF your CV is eye catching and has what they need, you will get a call for interview.

No, not Qatari but a good old Aussie. They offered me a job before I came but it does annoy me people complaining that they can't get a job in someone elses country. Is it easy for Qataris to get jobs in the US?

Yes i am on husband visas, and don't want to transfer my visas to the company that's why i think it's hard for me to get a job. Thanks to all.

Smoke, International/govt/semi govt companies wont accept CV by hand.

QDClover I guess you are not a Qatari and you still have a job! So it’s not always true.

Try visiting the recruitment companies in person. It helps.

also as tahsinmim said..helps sometimes to hand over the CV directly.

I think she's already on her husbands's sponsorship as she mentioned that.

Wasta my child...thats all it takes. Having American passport is of no use if jobs in your field can be filled with cheaper hires. comprende?

Not easy..... unless you have a father's rp

or married to a man who has atleast 10,000r a month salary to be on his rp

Getting interviews are easy with a nice Modern Key Words CV that features your accomplishments....

Getting a visa to work is the problem. I speak from 10 mos experience on this. Best wishes

No I am not qatari, but I can speak Arabic, It's my second language..

Are you Qatari? That may be the answer.
