I have a diploma in Accounting. It's only my husband and my self. 5000-10,000 AED would be sufficient for the both of us.

Do you have a professional accounting qualification? Even if you do, many/most of the jobs you mention are filled by fully qualified applicants from the subcontinent and other parts of Asia who are willing to work for 25% - 50% of what Westerners/Europeans might accept. Think 5,000 - 10,000AED which won't take you very far with a family. Few of them will offer any benefits such as housing, tickets or education - all of which are expensive in Dubai. The housing will probably require a full year's rental payment upfront as well - are your pockets deep enough? A lot more research is required for you to make an educated decision. If you do have a professional qualification, contact Charterhouse or other recruiting companies. You may get lucky. Definitely don't come here without a job or bring a big pot of money if you do.

Hi Do you have a profession? If so it will be much easier for you in terms of getting employed prior to coming to Dubai. Before I moved to Dubai I registered with recruitment agencies but had little or no response which was disheartening. I came over here without employment but I had support from my husband. There is a lot of competition out here particularly because the Pilipino’s and Indians will work for much less money. I eventually found employment after 3 weeks but I was in the business hub applying for 15+ jobs per day! Have you got friends or family out here to stay with whilst you find a job?

Thank you all for your replies. Moving to Dubai is not a long term move for me. It is just a temporary move. My Back ground is in Accounting. I have worked in Commercial Property Management and in the banking industry dealing with Mutual Funds in Canada. I love Canada it will always be my home!! I just need a change in my life right now. Living in a different country would give me the change I am looking for. I will not be missing the brutal winters in Canada!!

Thank you for your replies. I am actually thinking about going to Sri Lanka now. I thought this was my only opportunity to live in the Middle East. Once he gets his Canadian papers we will be moving back to Canada. I do not think its financially feasible for both of us to stay in the Middle East with out a Job. At least one person should have a job for us to stay there. I have some savings but I do not want to be in a position where I use all my savings and have no jobs. That's my biggest fear. Also I do not have anyone that I know living in Dubai. That scares me too. What If I get pregnant? and I don't have anyone there. I will Inshallah live in Dubai if one of us gets a job. Until then its best for us to live in SL. Thank you so much for all the inputs on this matter!! Greatly Appreciate it!! xoxoxo

I have been looking at several websites. I was advised its better to come and look for a Job than going through the websites. Websites have several hundreds of people applying for the job and its a waste of time. I want an employer who can sponsor me. That would be ideal. If my husband gets a job he can sponsor me as well. I know Sri Lankans don't get paid as well. I will be making more money if I am employed in the ME. Are you working there now? Are you renting an apartment?
