I gave up a professional job (HR Specialist, Charted MCIPD with 13 yrs of experience within one of the major Oil&Gas companies elsewhere)to join my husband here with intentions to settle down here for a long time.... Shortly after arrival I received an excellent offer (position "Head of Recruitment and Training" to drive "Qatarization" policy in the company - due to my previous experience in the field)with one of the leading Qatari companies, signed a contract and in 6 weeks after that I faced a CID rejection because of "Qatarization" policy! I cant work in Qatar as HR jobs should be done by Qataris only! So, MoeJoe, you can imagine how i feel about being here when I thought i had so much to offer to the company, to this country (even with qatarization policy). Unfortunately my self esteem is on 0 level at the moment as it looks like there so many Qataris around who can do that kind of job! Apologies if i come out a bit sarcastic about it this is how I feel at the moment - a useless person who is here in the wrong place and in the wrong time.
Nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.
