Guidance

Hey all,
Lived in Qatar for over 10 years when I was younger, and have been applying for jobs for over 3 months now to try and move back there once again...not even a thanks but no thanks letter or call from any that I have applied for! Is this normal practice?
I have a degree in BA Hons Business/Marketing and over 7 years business experience in various fields, including a business start up in the UK.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated...I have even tried to contact old friends in Doha without any success...
I realise that often it is who you know and not what you know.....
Thanks all...
I would very much like to even receive a thanks but no thanks...
Anybody out there interested in getting my CV? I thought that having lived in Qatar for over 10 years, this might be a help to me as I knew more about the life, culture etc.
Any help much appreciated..any contacts..indeed anything..
Thanks
Hi guys,
Thanks for your advice. I will keep trying, but seems that it may be extremely hard to find a job in Qatar whilst still living in the UK?
I will keep trying though..never give up...
Yes, don't be discouraged, these things always take way longer than you would ever think. Go to as many sources as you can find - internet job sites, businesses, universities in Qatar (who are always looking to hire), friends. Come for a visit and see if you can set up some interviews. Try and try again, follow your dream. It may take some time but it will happen.
