Please can anyone tell me if a 16 years old girl can have a job in Doha? As receptionist or secretary?

Thanks! :)

Given the price of cheap labor here that is unlikely.

Also most companies look for full-time employment and temp positions will also require full-time commitments. So unless its summer and you can pull some strings for her it will be difficult.

She can certainly try for student work/study positions at her school, if they are there that is.
