Dubai Forums

Hi there, I'm a professional marketer based in Australia and I am seeking a position in Dubai to further my career and build on my international experience. My cv is posted at: http://zenstrategic.com/ianbio.asp If anyone knows anyone that can help me I would appreciate it. Kind Regards Ian Edit: So...

Hi there,

I've been looking for a month now, although I'm not sure how easy it is to do it from Australia, so thinking of heading over there and doing it in person to see if that will improve my chances.

Best of luck to your girlfriend.

Hi there,

just letting you know I have updated my CV thanks to some tips of this forum and it has now been posted to http://zenstrategic.com/ianbio.asp

Thank you

Ian

I checked out Jobs in Dubai, so did my wife and another friend. We all applied for separate jobs and in no time we were all contacted saying we were shortlisted and to pay the fee. Way too good to be true. Smelt of a scam, so I emailed them asking for them to outline their process and that I'd read ...

OK guys, in the interest of this forum and cleaning up any mud you guys are worried about, I propose to you to offer me the Pepsi Challenge. By this I mean, how about you provide your services free of any charges to me, and should I be successful in actually acquiring a position, I'd be more than ha...

I'd just like to see if they take me up on my offer.

If they don't, they're surely a scam. If they do, well, we get to debunk the myth once and for all.

No Ian....it doesn't solve it, they may do something for one person...but there are 100's who never got their promised refund. Speak for yourself. Honestly, give them an opportunity to respond. I think they're a scam, but I'm prepared to give them an opportunity to prove otherwise, especially since...

Good luck to you and by the way where are you jobsindubai.com???

Just don't make it look like a vendetta.

It takes a while, it's not that easy.

Wish I brought my bowling balls from Australia with me.

Scarlet has RSVP'd on my behalf - see you guys there.

It's not Dubai pro-am mate

I haven't bowled properly in years, I'd probably do better with a house ball.

Like playing pool, bowling definitely follows the bell curve of alcohol consumption.

Still looking, only now I'm in Dubai

Tom Cruise? Pfft. you're kidding. I mean, could you handle all the whacky scientology talk?

Me... well right now I'd like a decent job, but it will come.

Hehehe, so true!!

This must be the I wish thread... minutes after posting I got a call from a job agency putting me forward for a job.

Not really.

Perhaps if it said "8 'til 12" you would be happier?

Or perhaps "The current time is eight minutes until twelve."

Chocoholic wrote:There's no 'until' at all! It's 8 minutes TO 12!

It's like saying 5 and 20 past 8!

Of course there is an until It is quite OK to say, it will be 8 minutes until 12. One can also say 8 minutes TO 12, but in actual fact, I think the UNTIL is more gramatically correct.

I wouldn't know, I was brought up on the Queen's English.

Chocoholic wrote:Well me too, and in my 30 years I've never heard that!

Or perhaps never noticed?

Perhaps we should get back on topic?

You want a 7 of 9?

Accidents like this will continue to happen while people treat SZR like the German Autobahn. The other morning I saw a pretty big smash between two SUVs (one ran very fast into the back of another) because people are just driving too fast and are driving too closely. I think the Dubai police and RTA...

Yeah well Star Trek is a bit out there and I can't say I've ever fantasised over a TV character... but each to their own.

Major turn off.

I don't dig tattoos on girls, especially those ones above the bum crack, quite possibly the worst. Even if I fell in love with a girl with one of these, I would be like "One of us have to go... me or the thing above your arse".

i posted a message but now it's not there why? it was "sydney way better than dubai". what was wrong with my message? so what do u think guyz? dubai or sydney? Me 100% sydney Well, as an Australian, I would say stick to Sydney, because with your level of education, you have no chance maki...

It was a fun day, as well as the ensuing shisha and dinner.

Thanks everyone for coming along and making it an enjoyable outing. Lets hope to catch up soon.

(rent is about the same as inner-city Sydney and internet is slightly more expensive). Otherwise everything else is cheaper and you're not paying income tax + gst on your earnings. That's a slight understatement mate... 64mb connection here is still more expensive than a 2g connection back home - e...

Does anyone know a way I can recharge my Wasel online without having to give a landline or po box (which I don't currently have)?

Otherwise I have to keep buying those pain in the a** scratch cards... and I'm lazy and don't want to walk to the shop.

Yes, I only posted the question 2 minutes ago.

It would be cool to get together this weekend as well, although I think "Scarlet" wants to go to the beach. Do you want me to send through a list of things I'm good at and things I'm not

Do they have go-cart racing in Dubai?
