Latinos in Qatar?

By Dayna Gomez

Just wanted to know if there are any Latinos in Qatar. I want to relocate there and I am finding it very difficult to find a suitable Job. A lot of job posts request Indians, Filipinos and from Middle East. How difficult is it to find a job if I don’t speak Arabic? I only speak English and Spanish. I know Spanish probably wont do anything for me but any jobs that require English?

Both Bayt and Linked-in are really good. There's one called GulfTalent, it's most popular in UAE, but decently popular in Qatar. You can also search for Gulf Times classifieds, although adverts there are similar to the ones on this website.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

@mori445 do you know any websites that are actually good to find a job? I've also used Bayt and LinkedIn, but I'd like to know if you know any others. I have used quite a few that end up asking me to pay up to $150 USD for further info and I just don't feel that comfortable paying. I was told it could also be websites that are for the sole purpose of fraud.

depends on the type of job you are looking for...there maybe a few Spanish companies here, but it depends on your search and follow up with them. If you know a few top ranking companies back at your home place, search for their presence, if any, in Qatar...and English is a prime communication language in any business...

yes, there are Latinos in Qatar. Finding a job is not easy, but not impossible either. Depends what you know and how good you are.

Arabic is not mandatory (but definitelly is an assets for those who speak) and working language is English prety much everywhere.

you can eventually, but i wouldn't recommend using the jobs section on this website to begin with.

most of the job ads are posted by recruiters who have zero knowledge of what the job is. many of the jobs are quite menial as well and not worth relocating for.

the jobs section has a large potential for fraud because any random person can post a false advert to gather people CVs and personal info.

in short, it's a disaster, don't go near it.
