If you’re used to western, staff friendly working conditions, employment in Dubai may comes as something of a shock. With so much cheap labor from Asia, certain jobs are, in effect, closed to westerners, including many trade occupations, such as carpenters and plumber; petrol pump attendants, shop assistants, construction workers and waiters and waitresses.
There are several crucial points with which employee should need to be aware:
1: Once the employee sign a contract (which may be fixed or open), the company for which you work has to sponsor you. A part of the process of acquiring sponsorship and obtaining employee’s residence visa, you must provide a blood sample, which is tested for communicable diseases. If your sample shows any indications of diseases, you’ll be deported straight away.
2 : If you are working with a respectable company you have benefits whether you need to rent a villa or aprtment, want a bank loan to purchase a car, want to subscribe to some mobile – phone services or obtain a liqour livcence; but what happens if you don’t work with reputable company.
3: The maximum working hours for the private sectors are officially eight/day, or 48 hours per six day week. Ten hour days over a five- day week are common, with no overtime paid and ,in some cases, no time off in lieu of overtime worked either.
4: There seems to be concept of fairness when working in Dubai; the color of employee’s passport tends to decide the level of job for which you can apply. It’s the norm, e.g., for your job adverts to stipulate the nationality and gender of candidates.
5: Salaries are also differs according to nationalities; e.g. a hotel worker from the Philppines as a waiter with two years experience , she can earned dhs 900/monthe, on the other hand a Romanian colleague doing the same job ,earned dhs 1,300/month.
- If Dubai is serious about playing with the big boys on the international stage ,it has to improve working conditions and provide a level playing field for employees.It will not only continue to attract quality people, but be able to retain them over the long term too.

Dubai is rapidly growing- according to many it is the fastest growing city in the world. In Dubai there are increasing number of jobs waiting for workers from all over the world and professions. For many employees Dubai is the fantastic experience with an enjoyable lifestyle and good professional development. See the discussion about jobs in Dubai and its life style:
Most familiar types of jobs and salaries:
• CEO’s and Managing Directors in Dubai companies can get up to 100,000 – 150,000 dhs /month. For smaller companies something closer to 50,000 dhs/month.

A common middle class salary would be 5000-10,000dhs/month.Agood middle management salary would be 10,000 to 20,000 dhs/month and senior management salaries can be from 15,000 up to 40,000 dhs/month.

The job benefits can include company housing, housing paid for the company but found your self, a housing allowance, a car or transport allowance; private medical insurance .A gratuity is paid at the end of employment but depends on the various factors. There is no income tax in Dubai although occasionally the possibility is discussed.
Non payment of wages and salaries:
A non payment of salaries is an issue that is rarely resolved in favor of the employee. Management in Dubai jobs are well aware of the poor reputation of some companies and sectors for not paying their workers. The employee can file a complain with the UAE Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. There is a procedure to follow and claims are investigated with companies being penalized by being blacklisted from hiring workers. Many non payment complaints are resolved in favor of the worker but sometimes a case can drag on for months.

For office jobs in Dubai, men should wear a tie but a jacket is not so common. Women can wear much the same in a comparable job in a western country. Natural fibers are more suitable for the hot Dubai climate.
Employee Verbal Communication in Dubai:
Arabic is the official language of UAE but English is the common denominator amongst the many different nationalities working in jobs in Dubai, at least in the private sectors. It is useful for the employee to be able to speak Arabic but not essential for most jobs.

Everyone knows that networking is the most effective way to find a new job, and yet most people feel their network is far too small. I want to share with you the secret of how to grow your network painlessly.
First of all, what is your network? It is simply the relationships you have with people, and when it comes to job hunting, people who are willing to help you. The more people you know who are willing to talk with you about your job search, the faster you’ll find a new job.
Here’s the secret to growing your network: Help other people. Make it your goal to help people you meet naturally during your day. Be intentional. Look for ways to help co-workers, neighbors, people in your professional organization, (What? You don’t belong to a professional organization?), people at conferences and every new person you meet.
The reason this works is the rule of reciprocity, which says that if you help people, they will be favorably inclined to return the favor in the future. By helping others you are making deposits in accounts that you can withdraw later.
What can you offer? Whatever might be helpful, and it doesn’t have to be a big deal. Perhaps you can send them a link to a website, or a copy of a relevant article. Introduce them to someone in your network. If they are in sales, ask them what a good prospect looks like. The important thing is to cultivate a habit of being interested in the needs of others. Once you discover their needs, you are well on the way to finding a way that you can help.
If you find someone who is feeling unsatisfied in their job, suggest they visit take a career assessment. They can be a powerful tools that identify what truly motivates a person. Career assessments can help people move confidently toward a more satisfying job.
If you make it a goal to help one new person each week, you will soon have a network that any executive would envy.

Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has become an employment hotspot for graduates due to its rapidly expanding business centre. Many international companies are relocating or establishing local operations there on a weekly basis. There are plenty of job opportunities available. The types of jobs are broad and vary depending on your training and expertise.
91.5% of the working population is expatriate. The high unemployment rate for UAE nationals (11.4% in 2004) is being addressed by the government. Local graduates are being encouraged to take up employment, and employers are strongly urged to recruit emirate graduates.
There are no personal taxes in the UAE and, as a result, it has become popular with ex-pats keen to take advantage of the competitive wages and good lifestyle.
Dubai’s business environment is the Middle East’s only meritocracy. Young men and women compete openly with ideas and ambitions to make their nation a model example for Muslim societies besieged by high unemployment, low literacy rates, bad trade policies, and authoritarian political structures. They run businesses transparently, with integrity and with an increasingly democratic and accountable corporate culture.
At Employers’ Day 2007, 81 per cent of the participating employers were from the private sector, while the government and semi-government sectors made up the remaining 19 per cent. Last year, 109 job offers were made during the Employers’ Day, out of which 72 were accepted.
