Dubai Forums Dubai Classifieds Dubai Job Wanted

I'm new to the forum and have tried searching for answers to my questions to no avail, but forgive me if they have previously been discussed.

I'm a female teacher from australia looking to find work in Dubai. I have a partner who is a Painter and a young child who will need to relocate with me.

I've sent off my resume to a few schools but no answer yet and have checked several employment websites but there's not much going round. Is there another way to find employment. Should I be approaching all relevant schools.

Is my partner going to have trouble getting a visa with me (as we're not married) and will he have trouble finding work as a Painter. Do schools generally accept couples. From what I've read they prefer singles.

Thank you for any info on this. We're at grass root level at the moment but are really keen to make the move to the UAE.

While a fair few people 'live in sin' in Dubai, being an unmarried mother is another issue entirely.

While it maybe that the schools have not responded for another reason, it could well be for that fact.

If you really are insistent in coming to work in Dubai - bite the bullet and get married first.

About teaching in Dubai I'm trying to get some information but I can't find, here in this site or in others places in the net. If someone knows a link for an agency or other kinds of info can post here.

thx!

I thought this was in the forum already somewhere

Here's stuff about teaching in Dubai. Unmarried with kid is going to be a problem unless you had kid when married to someone originally. Living together with partner is technically illegal, and could get you in to trouble but many people do. Lots of discussions about that subject in here already.

Your partner maybe able to find employment with us. Shoot us over his profile.
