Cv removed - as job offer pending. Thanks

ajb

Hi everyone, I have posted my CV above and hope that someone already in Dubai either has some contacts within the property development world or has some advice to point me in the right direction. I am planning a trip to Dubai in the coming months and would like to have some meetings set up so any he...

HI all, Just wondering if anyone has some comments on the merits of fronting up in Dubai for a couple of weeks to find a job as opposed to the seemingly slow moving internet applications? I am trying to organise one or two meetings to base my trip around but should I not have these meetings pre-book...

My knowledge on the subject would be called limited at best but I thought someone more knowledgable could add their 2 cents. Surely the argument of who's land is whose runs back way before 1946?

In someones mind the changes since 1946 are corrections rather than confiscations?

6 months in prison or the rest of your life married ...... hmmmm thats actually more difficult than it sounds! lol

ajb

Just a quick question .... what is the cost of a 42" plasma up there? Don't know if its a good idea to ship mine when I move ..... actually does anyone know a website for a local electronics shop in Dubai where I can check out the prices of things like this?

Thanks
Andrew

Well theres a sniper in here somewhere ..... thought I saw an infra red dot trailing across the wall

wonder if women handle tattoos better because they have a thicker layer skin than men .... ever noticed how mens veins are alot more pronounced than a womans.

ajb

Also Im from New Zealand so Im wondering what you all think of the way traditional Maori women get tattoos on their faces?

ajb

Some of them still get the tats in the traditional ways ..... similar to how the Tongan (from memory) men get their entire thighs tattooed using a hammer and chisel type arrangement .... ouch!

Wheres the horn to get rid of the dog!!

As an immediate aid to the prolific injury caused by papercuts I would like you all to lobby your local health and safety organisations to enforce safe paper handling technique i.e. All paper handling activities must be carried out whilst wearing protective gloves. Surely this will increase producti...

I just can't understand why anyone would bully this kid??

ajb

Is wireless common in Dubai? Would alleviate some of the pain of waiting for a technician to connect the service?

ajb

well I guess if your gonna bully yourself about it you can't expect others not to want to join in ...

ajb

Thanks Gab ..... yeah I heard LCD technology was going to over take plasma .... but at present the picture quality is not as good ... well at least here in NZ but we are most likely a bit behind the most current trends.

Gotta love the toyz though!

So what kind of gross rental yields are the landlords getting at present? Does anyone know how many new apartment buildings will be completing within the next 12 months. There appears to be a massive construction boom at present which will in time create a large supply of new empty apartments ..... ...

Theres plenty of transgendered people in the world these days. Its not that uncommon many of them have some or total surgery and live happy and fulfilled lives just like the rest of us. I suggest Dubai is not the best location to do this however even Dubai needs its boundaries pushed sometimes. Find...

ajb

So exactly why are the buildings only expected to last between 25-35 years? Is this mostly due to the environmental stresses such as heat that is exerted on the building or do they construct everything out of poor quality materials? I agree with Liban that owning property is one of the best ways to ...

Hi all, Just wanting some advice - if I get the job Im applying for then I will be moving to Dubai. My gf is keen to come along but she works as a freelance makeup artist - how easy is it for someone to work freelance in Dubai? Can they get a visa to work without being sponsored by a company? The on...

ajb

I had a crocodile pizza once .... its a white meat and tastes pretty much like chicken. One dish from Laos that I was offered but could not bring myself to eat was some sort of solidified blood ..... they all loved it but the cultural divide was just too far on that one ... grossed me out. by the wa...

ajb

Sorry thanks for relocating this post .... but hey it has alot to do with romance ....... if my gf doesnt come with me my romance levels will take a serious dive!! lol Freelance license sounds like the way to go I will check it out. So Im assuming that if there is a media city that there is plenty o...

ajb

Either there are no public paking buildings in Dubai or I dont get what the idea is?

ajb

hmmmm not sure about that ..... exporting lamb is one of NZ's biggest industry's also Australias too ...... yet Ive never once heard of or seen anyone eating a Ram?

In the West female circumcision is portrayed as a fairly barbaric way of torturing a young women rendering any form of intercourse unstimulating and there by controlling this side of her. I have certainly never heard of anyone requesting this procedure. There could well be more to this than the docu...

ajb

Just to NOT answer your question but remind you to bring all kids vax records and make sure they have a transfer certificate/letter from their school saying they have completed year so and so and are being promoted to the next year level with a signatue, proper letterhead and a school stamp if it i...

ajb
