Getting a job in Doha
Hello there!!
I am in banking currently working in London but looking to move to Doha. I might be able to transfer with my current employer, but if not, can anyone please advise me what's be best way to look for jobs in banking? I.e. through recruitment agencies or is it best contacting banks directly?
many thanks
Hello katze1 - doing both I suspect will double your chances. There's quite a few banking jobs in Doha, due to the boom in financial services. One bank to look at is Al Khaliji - a new startup bank which is making waves in the usual 'stuffy' world of banking. They have a careers page where you can apply directly to them (www.alkhalij.com); other banks will have something similar if you go to ther websites.
In terms of recruitment websites, some of the top ones are www.reeds.co.uk, www.bayt.com & www.gulftalent.com and www.gulfjobsites.com/jobs/Qatar will give you most of the other sites.
Let me know how you get on/or if you need anymore help - good luck.
