Hi Everybody!

I have recieved an offer from a reputed company in Doha for HR Coordinator. I have following queries:

1) The company has issued me painter visa. They have promised me change in the visa according to my profession on arrival. Is it alright?

 

2) They have offered me monthly salary of 3500 Riyals per month during probation period & 4000 Riyals per month on confirmation. Plus they provide shared accomodation+transporation to work+medical facilities. They also give me 21 days of Earned leave. Let me know if it is a fair pay. I have four years of experience in HR & I am MBA degree holder.

smokey, I was just joking. However, I will think of sending you the CV of someone who should be good.

Thank you all!Now that I have requested them for change in Visa type how will I know the change since it is in Arabic.Secondly if the Visa type changes the compensation should also change accordingly isnt it? Can I settle down for 6000 Riyals per month????Please advice.

profession is possible to be changed.. but it take some time.. from 2 months to an year.. i have personal experience regarding that. my profession of visa changed in three months after i came to qatar..

now regarding the salary, you need to search here on QL even, may be u find someone, who can guide you properly.

as far as i think salary is very less for a Masters Degree holder

Cherukkan i've been looking for a tea boy, send me your resume.My point is certain visa's will be paid certain salary even if you work as something else. Dont get sucked into that, they always say they will change but that never happens.  If you still want to go ahead for that much then its your call.Tomorrow if you want to fight for a raise they will turn around and say "painters" only get paid that much.

smokey, if you are giving that much salary to a tea boy then the salaries in your Company will be really good. Is there any vacancies?
