First,there might be some discrimination happen in this country but in a small cases only. There are two types of people here...local and expat.. Of course local people will get more advantages here..no one can argue it.. their country their rules...they can do whatever they want. Regardings the indian/ philipinos, it is all about visa. they are easy to get visa here. I am not talking about visit visa...but working visa. when you get working visa, then you can apply any job here. and it takes a lot of time and effort. and to get the working visa, the company have to become your sponsor. So, it is better you come here, once there is someone is ready to hire you. For the profesional position like your husband, it is not the correct way to find a job here.
Second, Indians and phillippinos are too much cheap in salary compare to whites. So, the employer will choose them rather than whites. I think everyone has their own previous experiences before they come here. There are equal chances for all the people to find any job in qatar.
The minimum requirement for engineering to find a job in qatar is 5 years but they are prefer 8-10 years.. age 26 - 30years old. Like me, I dont have any degrees or diplomas insteads of technical certificates. but I have an experiences around 6 years. Then I can prove to them that I am able to do a job of 10 years experiences person. So they are accepting me to join the commissioning/ start up 4 Mega Trains of Qatargas LNG. But, as I said, a profesional job must be apply with a professional way. not just simply walk-in interview.
Anyway, I wish you luck to find a job here. but I suggesting you to back home and apply the job from your country rather than you are waiting here. It will wasting your time. If they are really need your profesionalism, they will come to find you there..
Anyway, i am lucky to be a Malaysian, everyone are respects us just like we are respecting others..
