We have a variety of jobs that change daily/ weekly- some offer full sponsorship, some want candidates on husband or father sponsorship... so it's best to still keep checking as we upload new jobs as they come in.... wouldn't want anyone to assume that is always the case and miss an opportunity! It all depends on the company advertising. Warm regards, EW Admin

Hi Notepad, Just to clarify our jobs policy for you and other readers. Our jobs listing is for a period of 30 days unless the client has a shorter deadline to fill the position in which case the job will be removed before the one month is up. Furthermore, if the client fills the position they will inform us and the job ad will be removed. If a client has not filled a position after 30 days they may also renew the advert for another 30 days. Hence, all the jobs listed on our jobs board are available. HTH and good luck with the job hunt!! EW Admin <em>edited by admin on 01/07/2014</em>

Dear Victoria, The best thing to do would be to call Emirates ID helpline although doubt a scammer could do anything without the actual card and all your other details but better to be safe than sorry. 600530003 HTH <em>edited by admin on 19/06/2014</em>

Dear Jen, Don't worry- think all of us have felt like this at some point- whether we're new or longer term here- home sickness and lethargy/ the blues can hit you at any time. We're sure you'll get some great advice from the ladies on here as many people have felt exactly the same as you. Not just using this as a plug- but why don't you come along to one of our coffee mornings- you'll meet some new people and can talk about how you're finding things- it really helps to talk it over and realise how you're feeling is perfectly normal. Here's the schedule http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_events_whats_on.aspx#CoffeeMorning A bit more about them to make you feel comfortable http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_things_to_do_expatwoman_coffee_mornings_dubai_10517.aspx and here's an article with top tips on how to make friends and get out and about in Dubai http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_discover_dubai_How_To_Make_Friends_In_Dubai_10421.aspx HTH a bit!

Hi All, We judge whether things are advertising based on our internally set criteria... so please let us be the judge of that. Also- please imagine for a moment- you are a new poster, have finally plucked up the courage to post something you were really happy about and wanted to share with other women and had the responses below- don't think you'd be very happy. Don't forget there are real people behind the user names who can be very hurt by comments like the below and this is not what the forum is about. Any advertising/ spam/ bad comments are picked up and removed during our regular moderating sweeps but if there is anything you wish to contact us about please email [email protected]. Our policy is to give the benefit of the doubt to start with and we want new posters to feel welcome not attacked. Your help and continued support is appreciated as always. Warm regards, EW Admin

Hi I will soon be moving to Dubai. We are going to live in meadows 1. My questions today are: 1. What is the best school for American curriculum? We have enrolled in a school but I don't want to bias anyone so I am not going to say which one. 2. Should I get a maid? How easy is it to find someone once we move? 3. I will not be working initially.Will I go crazy? How will I pass time? 4. Any good blogs out there about Dubai life that I can read up on? Thanks in advance. Hi Meadowsgirl, Welcome to Dubai, please have a look through our site for some valuable information about life here. If you would like to know what American schools are the best have a look at the newly released [url=http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_education_KHDA_Dubai_School_Results_2011_8452.aspx'>KHDA results[/url'>, also check out the [url=http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_school_fees_6135.aspx'>Dubai school fees[/url'> to compare the fees of different schools and to see their locations too. If you would like to get a maid here is a great page that gives you all the information on [url=http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_EW_guide_to_hiring_a_maid_4884.aspx '>hiring a maid[/url'> and all the costs involved with getting a full-time live in maid. Hiring an agency maid is easier because you won't have to worry about additional expenses such as visa costs and repatriation tickets. However, hiring an agency maid might be more expensive. If you will not be working come down to our coffee morning at Tim Hortons in the Meadows, we run 7 coffee mornings a week at various locations and it's a great way to meet new ladies and make friends when you move to the UAE. The coffee morning schedule can be found in our [url=http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_events_whats_on.aspx#CoffeeMorning'>events section[/url'>.
