Ladies with an aptitude of teaching will get teaching job in Doha- Lot of Indian schools- MES,Ideal, Doha Modern, Birla public school, Delhi Public school etc. You may approach them with a customized resume( means you shall not project your IT experience, instead explains your teaching skill).

Lot of ladies working in teaching field with Husband sponsor ship..

School mgt need not worry abt providing visa etc.

I heard , teaching field salary is not much attractive- I am not sure - of the range 3K to 4K or less. Some one can correct me - if I am wrong.

The advantage of a husband visa - it is possible to leave the job, once you get a better job of your qualification.

Many reputed company insists on changing the husband visa to company visa- once they absorbed you ..to have control on the employee.

Also you can try IT jobs parallel to teaching job in Qatar with a husband visa.

Good wishes

(IT jobs in Qatar are almost no where.)

Does this mean that we still live in the Stone Age?!!!

I totally do not agree with Mr. Zilo,

most of big companies and establishments even Government's Establishments and ministries have the own professional IT Departments.

but i do agree with him that you need a big push to get a job there.

Thanks for the reply.

When it comes choose between job and husband, i think many women would go with the later option :-) I will try to find a job matching my profile, if not could you or any other senior members of the forum suggest me jobs that i can take up [ teaching etc] and what are the salary for indian montesorry school teacher[planning to take up course TESOL].

Please advise, I can do anything to be with my husband and support him financially.

Hope I get any help here.

IT jobs in Qatar are almost no where. It is very difficult to find a right job in IT here.

I suggest. Think twice before you move.
