Hi there Gerry, the motor vehicle industry in the UAE is basically sales and maintenance, to the best of my knowledge there is no production in the region; however i think that some of the "off the shelf" European models have to be adapted to conditions in the middle east prior to being so...

try giving them a call

UAE 800 40 50 or mail memaster@fedex.com

i'd suggest over valuing the contents of the consignment, most companies will only pay out a percentage of the insured value; over-value it and pay the extra insurance

Hi there, there are a number of small/ medium sized radio stations in Dubai and the UAE. Some of them are privately operated and others government sponsored. Due to the large number of stations and relatively small listener-ship it seems to be quiet competitive (for advertising). I used to visit one...

Hi there. If you have a look at the "Jobs in Dubai" section on this forum you will see two sections listing some of the "agencies" in Dubai. There are a few posts specifically about the agency "Jobs-in-Dubai” read these and make up your own mind. Personally, no "secret ...

If the bank hears that you will be leaving they will ask that someone signs surety against your loan. If the loan is not replayed the police come and take the person who signed into custody! This happened to a number of my employees! Unfortunately they don't know what they are signing for! In anothe...

14k... depends on the position? as to your other questions, i doubt 14k is not going to get you a luxuary appartment in a good area and a car and still leave you with much cash left to spend/ save. you should however be able to afford a decent appartment (about 4.5 - 5k per month), the vehicle repay...

not as much as you'd expect. they have a list of music they can't play from though, and of course bad lanuage on air is not tolerated.

Guys, penny for your thoughts. 1) One has worked for over 1 year based on the employment contract. However employment visa was obtained later and therefore showed less than 1 year. Do you get a labour ban if you leave the company? 2) How much is it to lift a labour ban? 3,000 or 5,000? 3) If you ge...

yes, both 220v

you are eligble for a work permit up to the age of 60, basically 57 as that would be the last 3 year permit you could have. you can only have an extention beyond that with specific permission from the minister of labour (and yours would have to be a very highly skilled position to obtain one). try s...

What sort of engineer are you, aircraft maintenance? Emirates have a good reputation for maintenance training. I know of two people who worked for them and then were able to pick up good positions in the same industry after they left the UAE. Possibly evaluate he position based on your long-term car...

Take the job; look a new car isn’t everything. Firstly there are some damn decent second-hand 4x4’s (check for the service records), and secondly second-hand vehicles don’t have much resale value in the UAE. On the upside new vehicles are cheaper than in most parts of the world due to the low import...

what sort of labour card are you offering?????

dbxsoul

I'd say the salary for even here is not bad. 14k equates to about 60k usd per annum if you take into account the tax issue. i doubt a 2 year old grad would be getting that in the states! also, i think the international work experience is a bonus, how many of his fellow students are going to travel o...

The crux of the issue:
"academic qualifications upon renewing their labour cards"

This is definitly not open season for people who have not been employed in the UAE before

dbxsoul: thanks a lot bro..... studstar: appreciate your opinion as well gtmash: I really like your two way point of view. Well if to evaluate the money it is quite a lot even if I am in USA but mainly because I live in a small town in Kansas. Make sure you bring a pair of red high heels with you, ...

hi there, possibly a few leads, comments: 1. have a look at : http://www.dubailook.com/mirage.html 2. aslo possibly consider contacting one of the larger hotel chains (Jumerieh International), this may be something they would be interested in, if they are not already doing it 3. toursim/ tour compan...

i can only see that happening with a heafty (10,000 AED or more) labour deposit to prevent abuse of the system

found this, although they only state teenagers, it may be worth giving them a call.

hi there, if you were in the medical proffesion such as a doctor or nurse, yes you could sponsor your husband and children - otherwise not. there are a few other catagories, but these are normally specialist jobs. the uae law expects the man to be the bread-winner of the family and all most legal is...

dbxsoul

perhaps another point to mention, is that all venues such as nightclubs serving alcohol, have to by law be attached to a licensed and registered hotel! the simplest way of canvasing potential spots would be to get a list of all the hotels in dubai and see what they offer by way of nightclubs, restau...

dbxsoul

nope, i'm in "Cartoon"

yes, insurance before registration, but the insurance agents normally have premises in the traffic department building, so you can simply get insurance at the same time (it takes about 1/2 hour at most).

i've just been looking at the same process, i have a number of what i would consider good online canadian job sites, i'll pm to you later on.
remember to get a clearance certificate before you leave dubai!

have you tried the Organic Food Cafe? one in Al Dyafa and the other in the Greens

there are a number of issues here. 1. firstly if your husband is recruited directly from the philipines then the employer is responsible for getting him to dubai (airfares etc.) 2. if your husband is already in dubai and then apples for a job he cannot ask the employer to refund the airfare 3. there...

dbxsoul

well besides the heckling this has actually been quite an interesting read! would you mind if i asked, perhaps a stupid question at this point. does the GDP of the country, the UAE in this case take into account foriegn holdings, by which I mean expatriate owned properties? or is it only calculated ...

dbxsoul

oops, before i get my head chewed off, let me rephrase ...

not new properties.... or are all property sales excluded from the caclulations?

dbxsoul

it does. i read through the link above as well, a little confusing for a non-economist such as me. an i correct in assuming that the current GDP is really artificial at this stage, all the construction materials (fixtures/ fittings etc) are imported; these are measured in the GDP under imports, but ...
