I am one of the minority , Qatareeees. I did try to make outside qatar, mainly Europe , in the most strangest places " I will not name the country" I applied for work in three different places, and in a couple of multinational companies, in addition to international organisations, My main area of expertise is "consulting", I spoke the language, better than the locals I might add. I had twelve years experience. I was turned down.
The law said in the country I applied for jobs in , Unless a company is able to show that there is no local who can fill the job I applied for , then they are allowed to hire me. needless to say, it was a small job , not the money I was making in Qatar, and no where near what I am making now.
But the law was clear. And I accpeted it .
Accept the law.
The government realised that there is a wheel of development that is turning , and the private sector should take part " a big part " in the turning of this wheel , by hiring more Qatareez. And stop hiding behind the never ending excuse of Qatarees this , Qatarees that.

It is an established fact that the government is the leader in almost all life changing decisions in QATAR. Whilst the private sector which should assume its social responsibilities have chosen to sit on the side lines, complaining that they are not getting enough governement contracts, and when asked for the minimal response of hiring a small number of 20% of Qatarees in work force, it becomes a debate of the incompetence of the Qatari workforce. Who are hard working , and are getting the raw end of the stick . YES THEY ARE.
I am a person of responsibility. I run a place . IT has no less than 90% qatarees and if it was not for our loyalty and appreciation of the time and experience that our expat " uber expats " colleagues " have put in our DEPT. then it would be 100% qatarees.
Finally ,,,, and this will not be the last finally
