Its not true. Everyone has any type of experience more or less. If he gets any chance he can do more and collect experience. Sometimes more experience is dangerous to work.
its really kind of hard to get a job specialy wen u r a fresher....i had to wait for a long time and had to stick to a plan.....Allhamdulilaah i am in one of the best place now...patients did pay me well....
yes....its kind of hard to get a job specially if u r a fresher...but i took up few techniques that helped me even though it doesnt sound quite professional...hu cares...i got it now...hehehe
its not just with qatar, its everywhere in the world that for fresher it is hard to get hired.Bcs no one wants to train ppl these days as they dont have time.Everyone wants to get there work done with ease witout any hassle.
First of all the availability of jobs is reserved for the locals. They are the priority. This is their own country. If ever there are vacancies a lot of foreigners are also looking for jobs just like you. You need a reference to recommend you in any job position that suits your qualifications.
Tough situation really. However, there are factors why its hard to get a job.
Is it because your expectations are too high for your experience or what you have to offer. Or it is because your experience are still not enough as per the employers expectations.
Many companies don't want to invest time & money in a person who don't know anything about the job and to be an overhead for the company, so companies prefer people with experience eventhough they are being paid more...

Hi Ruby..... Anywhere in the world u go you will be asked for your work experience to be shown ....Comparitively I Feel Qatar has a better scope and exposure for the Freshers in GCC world.(other than some Semi - Government companies)..Any how wishing u all the best for your job search........!
I think those company needed the experience one,coz they don't need the extra time to teach the new ones, they must continue the flow of the business, just my thought...:)

I can understand your frustration. This problem is not specific in Qatar alone. There are several people around the world in a similar situation as yours. Everyone has the same question(in frustration) as you have raised.
I don't have a specific answer and I may be wrong,but,in my humble opinion,it is more of a demand and supply. If you were 1 among the 20,000 odd apples in the (job)market and if I were running a company, what steps will you take so that I can choose you among the other apples (assuming you all have the same qualifications).
Arm yourself with some exclusive qualification which a potential employer will take note of. Be in the hunt.
The other thought that you may ask to yourself now(if you are young enough and willing to take some extra risk): Identify a growth area/prospect and try to experiment with your own business. Who knows, you might another Mark Zuckerberg in the future.
I Dont know why when i post things it wont be posted , anyway i was saying i am facing the same problem , its been 2 months , and i am still looking i got like 2 lousy interviews to start with , i sent like hundreds of cvs , but no luck ! , not happy to hear that you are facing the same problem , but glad It is not just me lol , if i only know what is the issue ? is it only experience ? Age ? nationality ??? let me know if you bump into any jobs in business administration
Its all about contacts and meeting the right people...going through the formal route will take forever with little luck in the end. I went there to visit my sister and brother in law and within a week he managed to get me 3 interviews. I am moving there in mid- March.Hope to catch up and meet new friends when im there.
1. openings for fresh grads are now being given preference to Qatari nationals as part of the Qatar Nationalisation Scheme. Even experienced professionals have their job at risk if they are foreign nationals. I just met someone the other day who was in his job as head of IT in a huge gas company and was told he had to leave after 11 years of service. He is now somewhere else.
2. There is no centrally organised recruitment agent or agents who can match up skilled foreign graduates into jobs because of 1. Therefore it is a free for all - first come first served.
3. People who know people get jobs in qatar, so if you see a job online, then try and contact someone at the place and arrange an informal chat with them to at least get your name with them.
4. Qatar wants experienced professionals who have western experience in all the big multinationals.
5. the qatarisation scheme means that 25% of all companies above a certain size have to have qatari national citizens as employees otherwise they face penalties.
Go figure!
Your best bet is to try Dubai as there are more openings for foreigners. Or, you could try a european country to gain experience somewhere in your field.
BECZ OF SO MANY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PEOPLES FACING OR LACKING A JOB PROBLEM IN THE WORLD OR UNEMPLOYMENT,IN TODAYS WORLD THERE IS A LOT OF COMPETITION AND COMPETITORS,IN QATAR EXPERIENCE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EDUCATION OR RECOMENDATION
It may seem that way. And most of the times it is.
However... i got here with just 1 year experience. All you have to do is be careful. EXTREMELY careful. Some companies (only some) are not as good as they say they are.

Contacts is one of the important thing for someone needs to get a job, later comes the GCC experience. Few companies look for the experience which you have outside GCC, rest they concentrate only on GCC Experience.
This is what I noticed while I was hunting for a job.
No matter how much ever you applied through online portals, etc... its really tough to get in. If there are any to recommend you, I mean a contact in the field where you are searching a job, then it becomes an easy task...
All the best if in case you are hunting for a job...
There are large amount of people coming in Qatar lately and most of the companies here are looking for experienced employee in order not to loose time on training and stuff. Some of the companies are offering on job training here, it will last for months but it's quite worth it, to have some experience on your field.
1. Freshers wants high salary without experience. Freshers who don't have any experience, must have some training. You don't have any experience but do you have any training related to the applied field?????????
2.Second reason, Just because you have not send your cv to me, because few days ago only I have posted some jobs in Qatar Living. May be you are waiting the answer for question, so that you did not see my post. Still one opportunity is there, one of my friend's company Gulf Stone, it's a contracting company, is looking for a Office Secretary. If you send your cv to me i will forward to him.

BECAUSE IT IS BECAUSE i SAID SOO...

Its not true. Everyone has any type of experience more or less. If he gets any chance he can do more and collect experience. Sometimes more experience is dangerous to work.
me 2 ooooooo i am looking 4 work here. pls i need help
yes dear its true , but you can start from zero to hero travel
its really kind of hard to get a job specialy wen u r a fresher....i had to wait for a long time and had to stick to a plan.....Allhamdulilaah i am in one of the best place now...patients did pay me well....
Companies in Qatar don't want do exprement on Fresher's
Don't give up ;)
yes....its kind of hard to get a job specially if u r a fresher...but i took up few techniques that helped me even though it doesnt sound quite professional...hu cares...i got it now...hehehe
try to get some part time , you can gain some exp then
brother it rule of thumb don't worry, either you live in Qatar without having Qatar nationality, or living in USA,
there is no good job available anywhere without reference
just keep looking for the job, dont give up :)We all started with no experience
Not so hard for fresher if one has influence and good contacts in Qatar.
If the freshers are ready to work with a small salary, they will get training and a job.
Or
If their salary expectation is above what they deserved, then it is difficult to get a job.(Most of them thinking like this).
which job ?
i have been meaning to ask everyone the same question
experienced persons also,
very dificult to get a job in Qatar.
very bad situation in Qatar
Dear Ruby
Its not like that you are thinking..
Qatar welcome freshers too.. your luck should be good..
Regards
sldhingra
It is not so difficult as you think especially if you have done your studies here. Networking helps much.
its not just with qatar, its everywhere in the world that for fresher it is hard to get hired.Bcs no one wants to train ppl these days as they dont have time.Everyone wants to get there work done with ease witout any hassle.
Its no hard. It the way you socialise/networking attitude while studying. Dont expect more salary/comfortability at the earlier stage.
Its no hard. It the way you socialise/networking attitude while studying. Dont expect more salary/comfortability at the earlier stage.
Usually company looks for experienced peoples as the have to put lesser effort for training.
when there is a little demand and more supply then
there will be more compitation and lesser salaries...
but keep searching as some companies look for freshers.

is almost the same and even thank God that you are not here trough a company cos if you do so you find it difficult to explain
Friend,
Its not only in Qatar but its every where around the globe.

But all its one thing-'RIZQ MIN ALLAH SUBHANATALLAH'.
when call comes from Allah no body can stop it.
Hope answer for your qrery.
Tough situation really. However, there are factors why its hard to get a job.
Is it because your expectations are too high for your experience or what you have to offer. Or it is because your experience are still not enough as per the employers expectations.
Either way, you should meet in between.
Happy job hunting!

Keep trying and you will get it inshAllah. I am also going thru the same experience of not getting a job just because I am Fresher.
There are 2 reasons.

I know it sucks big time. You will land a job its just a matter of time.
even if you have experience sometimes is difficult to find a job. And when you got the job also it's a hard tough job.
