Does anyone have useful advices?
I am a female German national and will recieve my MA Degree in Islamic Culture Studies end of this year.
I would love to work in the Emirates in the area of Tourism / Public Relations.
I speak (read and write) seven languages
and I have got very good communication skills. I know a lot about Islamic and Arabic Culture , not not just because of my studies but also because of many journeys to the region.
I am looking for a PR job in Tourism and Culture where I can make use of my knowledge of Arabic and Islamic Culture.
I would like to work for one of the following institutions:
Cultural Centre (Museum, Language Centre, Centre for cross cultural training)
Hotel
Tour Operator
State Authority for Tourism and Culture
Does anyone have an idea where to apply? I am thinking of flying to Dubai in September and look for a job there. What do you think?
And one more question: What salary can I expect?
I have work experience as Lecturer (German, English, French) and as Research Assistant at University (Literature Invetigation, Library), but not in Tourism so far.
I already got a job offer as Public Relations Representative:
( I can't take the job because I first have to finish my MA Thesis and can't start to work before december)
Package: accomdation (two-room appartment), health insurance, one
flight to Germany p.a. , 30 days off p.a., mobile phone (plus costs for calling), 400 Euro for renting or buying a car + 2000 Euro per month.
Is that ok for the start? Or should I ask for more?
What is the ideal job position to start with in my case? Is Public Relations Representative the right one?
I would be very glad for any idea, help or advice
