Nairaland Rule 1 - 22 applies HERE.



The following information will be helpful when seeking a job in the land of the blazing sun and expensive vehicles.

1. The Gulf is peopled by a mixture of tribes generally lumped into the category of Arabs... meaning different cultures and traditions.
2. They are predominantly Muslims and follow to some extent, the Sharia justice system except Saudi Arabia whose penal system is the Sharia.
3. They are not as rich as you had dreamed about but have a magnificent social security infrastructure.
4. YES IT IS TRUE...THEIR POLICE ARE THE MOST WELL MAINTAINED IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF WELFARE AND THEIR POLICE VEHICLES AS THE INTERNET SAYS, ARE REAL.
5. Money does not grow on trees there and they have few very few trees as well.

1. Rule number 1 of getting a job in the Gulf is to get as much international professional qualifications/certifications as you can hustle out. (NISP and their local counterparts will not cut it and engaging in omilan related activities doesn’t count as hustling in this case)
2. Most recruiters have ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) and would not hesitate to use them hence keywords are very important.
3. Salaries vary with Nationality (Europeans viz Westerners –> Eastern Europeans -> Africans -> Asians)***
4. Try not to exaggerate on your CV/Resume as you’ll be trained on certain client based trainings.
5. Remember that for every available job there is an equal 500 Indians with better qualifications who would ask for a lesser pay package than yourself.
6. READ ABOUT YOUR FIELD EVERYDAY….EVERY SINGLE DAY.
7. Most Interviews are conducted over the phone hence make sure you do not run your battery down with Candy Crush.
8. The most paying jobs are not in the oil and gas Sectors but in Construction and Hospitality. (keep all yimus where they belong)
9. The region is rapidly implementing stringent local content laws (Omanisation, Qatarisation etc.) so do not be surprised if the individual you are reporting to is 21 years old and earns more than you and knows nothing about how to fix a light bulb.
10. Managers earn between 2500 – 12000$/M (maka Chukwu) and that is defined as anyone with 5-25 years of working experience.
11. Dem fit put Onyeocha under you as well so no fall our hand.
12. Avoid every and all forms of Employment Agencies and apply to those companies yourself.
13. No employer will ask you to pay for flight and visa orishirishi as they would handle such themselves.
14. For the owambe people, there are clubs and pubs…YES THEY DO, but abstinence is a better option.
15. A JO DA BILE
16. Most employment opportunities are for 2 years duration with options to renegotiate the terms of employment when your contract is due i.e. so you will not PORT to another company.
17. The average Arab values loyalty and will not be happy if you PORT to a competitor.
18. Google is your friend and you should not be ashamed to ask it anything.
19. The lucky ones will get a rotational job, 28X14 28X28 others will get 365X28 it all depends on the terms of the contract.
20. Some employers provide feeding, transportation and accommodation, medical insurance to their employees and it should be stated clearly on the Offer letter (This is required by the Labour law)
21. There are a lot of sites with jobs in the Gulf region these include.
Bayt
Gulftalent (this is where I got mine)
Naukrigulf
Vacanciesingulf
Monstergulf
Careerjet.ae
Linkedin
Facebook
Oilandgasjobsearch
Rigzone
OLX Arabia
Avoid JobsinDubai (Big SCAM – My opinion)
22. The career sections of all websites ending with .ae, .om, .qa, .sa etc
23. If you do get a job start looking for way to make a second income (Please flee from ALL appearances of evil, SANKO is guaranteed – Drug related evils nah straight to KPAIMA!)
24. THEY LOVE NIGERIAN MUSIC LIKE CRAZE!!!
25. They work from Sunday to Thursday.
26. THEY ARE 3HRS AHEAD SO NO FEAR WHEN STRANGE NUMBER DEY CALL YOU FOR EARLY MORMOR
27. Your class of Degree doesn't matter but Diploma holders (All forms of Diploma - HND, OND, ID etc) get discriminated on...a Degree is a desirable option
