Hope you don't mind my question, but can you tell me where you, based in the UK, found this position you have applied for, and hopefully will find you enjoying a new experience in Qatar?
For some time I have been interested in positions in Qatar or perhaps the UAE. It started when an agency put a position up on an Australian Web Site. Since then the whole thing has dragged on and despite words of encouragement by other Forum members and the agent I am more than sceptical about finding my way there.
I have found another useful web site, bayt.com but I have not had any feedback of any kind for a few positions I have applied for. Of course I may not be suited, perhaps they don't like Australians or even too old [ I don't think 46 is too ancient !]. I haven't found anywhere else to look.
I suspect, given the fact there seems to be a large expat community from the UK that there are agencies that may specialise in this area. Perhaps, if this is the case you might be happy to point me in their direction.
I have worked outside of Australia before [ UK ], lived in Canada [ Go Flames ] and travelled [ backbacked ] through Asia ,Middle East and Africa in younger days - so I am looking at the middle east from a "eyes wide open" perspective.
Ok that is probably enough. I am sure I have bored you and anyone else that has read this.
