Hi,

This is a difficult question anywhere, and it's especially hard if you're coming to a new country.

If you know anyone that lives in Qatar, ask them if they know someone that needs someone with your skills. Your contacts are your #1 asset.

After that I'd say that telephone and drop-ins are your best bet for getting interviews. Find out the name of the person that is hiring, and then write a cover letter to that specific person.

Always send cover letters with your CV, and send a thank-you letter to anyone that helps you.

Just sending your CV (resume) to human resources is probably the worst way to find a job. It can work, but it's like winning the lottery.

Taking out advertisement is a good way to waste money in my opinion, unless you're offering a service to the general public, like maid or child care services.

Good luck
