pls if you know how to drive and wish to have their driver's license haven't come with Nigeria and International Driver's license will they still put you on test classes before they can issue you their own? Thanks

you have to do the complete class since u didnt have the Nigerian drivers license wit u. They need documented proof of ur driving. But if u have it. About 10 classes would be subtracted.

How to look for a job in Dubai on a visit visa?
When competing with thousands of CVs in the same situation as you - what should you do
By Kokab Rahman
Published Saturday, January 23, 2016
You are in Dubai on visit, looking for work. Your visa is going to expire soon.

You’re desperate to find work before that happens.

You write in your cover letter the following statement ‘Currently in UAE on visit visa. Visa expires on X-X-2016’. Please give me any job before that,” and send it along with your CV to every job opening you see.

Will this approach help you get work fast? No. Seriously, no one cares.

Hiring managers are busy people and they only have their own organization’s concerns in mind. They don’t care that your visa is going to expire soon and then you won’t be available for interview.

Even if they are sympathetic people, remember, you aren’t alone.

They must get thousands of CVs from people who are in the same situation as you.

So what should you do?

The important thing to remember is professionalism. You should be professional in your approach. You know your visa is going to expire soon and you are desperate to find work and you want to impart this information to the hiring company.

You can do this professionally and in a manner that doesn’t show desperation. There is no need for desperation at all. After all, it’s not the end of the world. Even if you aren’t able to get work this time, you can come back another time.

You can also attend some interviews and then communicate with those companies even after you return to your home country. If they are interested in hiring you, they can easily provide you not only a visa (visit or work) but a one-way plane ticket, which they will provide if they are hiring you.

So it’s important to impress the hiring team with your professionalism and confidence, not desperation.

To make this happen, go through the job search process in a systematic manner.

Here’s how:

• Have a professional CV and cover letter prepared. This should be prepared in a responsible manner by professional writers and should not contain any grammatical or detail errors.

• Indicate in your cover letter and CV that you are available in UAE for interview up to a particular date. Your CV should also state that you are on visit visa. (Visa Status: Visit Visa, expires X-X-2016)

• Write also in your cover letter that should your departure date pass, you can be reached at your home country phone number, email, or online. All three contacts should be included in your CV and cover letter.

• After your CV and cover letters are prepared, start sending them to job openings in your profession/ industry, indicating in clear terms which job you are looking for, what salary you are expecting (which should fully cover the cost of living), and what skills you have that are relevant to the post. It’s important to do this and not send in a general letter, applying for any job. You can be more specific by applying for particular jobs and indicating how your skills meet the needs of that job.

• In addition to applying for jobs in this manner, try to go to as many walk-in interviews as possible. During any interview, tell the hiring manager that you will be in the country up till a particular date, after which you will return to your home country and that they can contact you there via phone, email, or online if they are interested in hiring you. In a professional manner, tell them that you look forward to a positive response. Don’t show any desperation. If they want to hire you, they will contact you even if you’ve returned to your country.

• After the interview, send an email to the hiring message thanking him or her for the interview. Include your contact details where you can be reached. This should consist of your home country phone number, email address, and online details.

Hopefully, using the above tips, you’ll make an impression on the hiring manager and get a job soon.

If not, all is not lost.

Continue to apply for work even after you return to your home country, indicating that you are available for an online interview. If you are scheduled to return to UAE at some future date, include this information in your cover letter.

Hello House,
I am planning on relocating to Dubai soon. I need help with useful information. I am an IT proffesional with more than 5 years of experience. I have heard that i can get a three months visa to Dubai. my questions are, what is the probability of me getting a job within the three months.
what is the cost of getting the visa? what other things do i need to get handy before travelling? is it possible to relocate with my wife and kid?
I await your response.
Thanks all.

all u need is attest ur certificate, get ur visa and come over, u can't come over wit ur family now. Try coming alone get a job and check if ur renumeration can sustain them here, it's not easy having ur family here. But still depends on d weight of ur bank account. Jobs for IT professional are somehow available so far u have the right certifications. Wish u d best.

If all you can do is be sarcastic then suck your head in and shut up.
Post something sensible to help him not just make childish comments about other people.
I will not argue further with a worthless person.

hehehhehhehhehe this is truly u and not the other comment.i know d kinda response u give. Sorry bro we r good.

Aluobe1:
Thanks for your response. According to the guy, accommodation and transportation is included. But my question now is how am I to check most of these things you talked about, as for the salary, i was told it's about 140k per month in naira and the job is a hotel roomkeeper

that's the problem, u can never find out till u get here cos those that call dem self agents can sell u a cat in place of a tiger cos all they need is ur money. The new labour law is meant to counter that but last I checked at labour they still do it d old way.

Halimacurves:
hi guys. I need vital information on where i can meet software programmers in abu dhabi.

don't really have an idea about that In abu dhabi. Maybe try Google

DrDre1:
Yes sir. Noting much as changed about that...only the cost that keeps defying the law of gravity. The one for Nigerian females has become completely ridiculous especially in this era of 70 naira to 1 riyal

hahahahha same her for d dirham abt 78 naira. It's gonna b well maybe wen the find the missing budget. Abi u carry am enter Qatar? Hehehehehhehe.

Mo6akin:
Pls house how many days do employment visa take b4 issuing out?

depends on how long it takes ur middle man for documentations and process at the ministry of labour, apart from them it's Just few days to get it from the ministry of interior.

Am shocked that worry359 can have a nice response regarding an issue like this. Wow. This new year go make sense wella.

DrDre1:
Happy New Year everyone.
Wish you all a blessed year

Hello house I am about sitting for a project management pro exam from PMI and hope to use it afterwards to search for jobs in Dubai,few questions though

1.I have my ssce and 2 other professional certificates plus intended,can I verify can iI verify these

2.iI am hoping to apply for a 3months visa to enter,find job and re enter with employment visa,but iI need an idea of cost

3.for my ogas at the top,is the adventure worth it with my professional certifications only,(no bsc or hndHND

Thanks all

which of the professional certificate are u talking about, the adventure may or may not worth it. It's dependent on ur mindset, faith, beliefs many come wit even a master degree and go empty handed while some wit SSCE and stays back. Also depending on how big ur eye is. U might d looking for a jumbo pay and d ship sails past u. Follow ur instinct. If it's truly a professional (intl) certificate, u don't need attestation. But if it's those 9ja cardboard sheet cert, leave it in 9ja before coming here.

@crudables: same way u found this thread, search for it.
@anthney87: no b only quartar, na semi u go go find job. The answers are here.

orlaryhincah:
Finally read from page 1 - 72, No be small thing sha, I made up my mind to get a 3 month visa and come searching for a job. Because that seems to be the best option right now.

A big thank you to all the Contributors, its quite interesting.

I have got some question that I can't find the answer while reading.

1. Do companies there verify experiences from previous employers in Nigeria?

2. I'm kind of confuse, does attestation and authenticating of certificates means the same thing or different and if different which is to be done in Nigeria and vice versa?

3. I'm guessing the certificates needing either attestation or authentication are WAEC & BSC? Or other diploma courses are included?

4. I learnt on this thread that Sharjah is preferably to search for Job than Dubai, how true is this? CC samhay & nattybanta, ken19, justi4jesu, moumou

Thanks as I await your responses.

‎
1. Nope dey dont.
‎
2. Yes. They r dsame. Min of Edu, min of foreign affairs and uae embassy all in abj

3. SSCE n university degrees (ond, HND. Bsc, msc) no b computer training. 

4. Nope. It isn't. Just spread ur tentacles. Sharjah, ajman, abudhabi n dubai.  ‎
