Hello all hoping for some advice from some people that know there stuff. So originally I accepted a position and it's turned out to be a nightmare ! and to cut a long story short I signed a contract and it's meant to be a few years this position but there is something in my contract saying if I give the relevant notice I can leave. Anyway I am now in probation period still and have been given a labour contract however it is limited and I want to know what happens if I sign this ? as I don't want to be tied into anything but also the company need it signed to give me my visa? So also worried they will hold my passport if I don't sign and they will cancel the visa ? Also I may have a conditional offer of another position can the visa be transferred ? Any info would be great. X

Thank you ladies so much for your opinion, Lafalot I feel like you ....i am definitely looking around and if something better comes up I will go to it as the job really isn't what I expected in the first place really ....life it to short and there is being exhausted and then completely wiped out every day am also forgetting the little things it's taking over my life a bit and getting calls on the weekend is just unacceptable really never had it in the UK and won't put up with it now. Thanks again :o)

Hello, reading your post was exactly how I felt when I was back in the UK. My partner came out in Many and me and son in August, we have been here a little while but still finding our feet and it will be a long time before any of us are settled. I left my job and decided to come over before getting a new one because a) didnt want my little boy to start back in Sept at his old school and b)did not like being separated from my partner. It still is and was the best decision we made, you can sort a lot more when your here rather than UK, we did a few applications for schools one was awful not naming names and my little boy is now at Safa Private School which he loves he only missed 2 weeks of the first term, they were amazing and so so helpful so do consider this school if he is old enough to go there. They are also trying to help me with my job search but touch wood wont be long now (again applying for jobs is better once you are here if you are not a teacher) You also need time to settle into Dubai life it takes a lot of getting used to, good luck and be strong as a unit and you will be just fine as there will be testing times ahead of you :o) x

Hello, I feel your pain, they reckon even securing an interview is good stuff here ! I am from the UK and although it takes a while to secure a position it is not as long as here! I got to 3rd interview just last week only to be pipped to post by another candidate but you must not give up it is competitive out there but get registering with recruitment agencies ...try Nadia, Irwin & Dow Manpower, Hays also apply for jobs on Bayt and Gulftalent ...I am probably missing others but really just look every day if you can ... I met a lady recently and she said its taken her 6months to even get an interview. xx

I'm looking for large cup bikinis but my back size is 34. Anywhere else other than TKD? They only had 2 in my size. Thanks! I can relate I am a 32 and everywhere only goes to D or DD .... If you have shop and ship try some UK websites but ones that might deliver cheaply are new look UK Kelly brook range, ASOS.com deliver but takes a few weeks ( just got some in the sale myself) pour moi too .... I also think they have Boux Avenue at Festival City Mall which is a lovely shop X

Oh shame ! That would be good ! X Its not affiliated with the UK as none of the shops are. They are usually run by the big companies here ( Al Shaya runs all the Debenhams) Aramex shop and ship is a god send as you save a fortune buying online as the UK always has sales on. I bought a dress from Miss Selfridge. It is AED325 here. I got it for AED114 which included the delivery! Thank you for this might have to set up an account by the way I tried to like your post but pressed unlike twice instead typing error really didn't mean too haha !

You may see it as a positive however I think expecting your child to be genius at 5 is unfair it's our opinion that's all we want our child to excel but also enjoy going to school and not feel under pressure all the time. I just wanted to let ldaniels know my opinion if you wanted to message me ldaniels also feel free. :o)

Personally I found Jebel Ali not my cup of tea ...I felt they had to high expectations on the teaching and it's like stepping back in time when you walk in there it's dated ...my son got offered another place at a different school which has way more facilities and good reputation ....definitely look around !
