Is securing a job in Qatar IMPOSSIBLE ?
I have been trying hard up and down from 2 months to know why exactly is it delaying my job applications for securing a job in Qatar. It can be the reason that IT is less recognized here and so IT jobs may be less available or the jobs applied may be less falling in their interest. Many companies have recruitment only on the basis of "I KNOW YOU, YOU KNOW ME".
What is your experience? Is it possible to find jobs without wasta ? What do you recommend further step ? Is it that it would take up to a year for getting a job here ?
Your advise and guidelines are highly appreciated.
LOL... That is another factor i agree to you....
NimbuPani: You have just hit the nail on the head. We are "expats" - which means temporary. Too many people assume that Qatar is their permanent home or owes them a living..
Brite... Tat wud not b a better option rather i think recruitment in Qatar shld be based on skill, knowledge, experience and capability of a person and not by "I KNOW YOU, YOU KNOW ME" which is very unprofessional and trust me it also effects the nations growth when even a non capable person gets recruited due to "I KNOW YOU, YOU KNOW ME". There are so many dumbs working into IT, who had previously worked only in call centres.
Where can be a growth when a proper person is not recruited only becoz preference was given to "I KNOW YOU".
Sadly, what you say is a fact of life here in Qatar.
I always advise people to leave Qatar, rather than staying and getting into debt. I know its harsh, but I did the same in the past
i am afraid... that to have food tomow.. i may need to have a wasta too.
BRITE... Wot would you say if even after doing all the above.. there is no job from months...
vacancies are there but not no reply..... you can see a company puts up ad and then does not contact the jobseeker cz the HR had put up an ad only to show his boss and in actual wanted his guy to be placed instead.

Finding a job in Qatar is not easy. Too many variables. The only way is to keep persevering. Send out lots of CVs, post on QL Jobs, contact agencies and check sites like BAYT and Gulfjobs..
Good Luck
LOL.... Briteexpat. i need a solution as a help. Do you have any recommendations ?
Too many people applying for too few jobs thinking that the streets are lined with gold
sadly a yes would not be wrong to say. You know me I know you works well here
i understand but still my question is the same. Can someone help me to understand ?

sorry, we are not here to justify any company. I just thought the info wud be helpful...if not plz ignore
VIRLIB: If you are so sure... Share the contact details here on QL so that it can help others too... Also share the office location... If you dont believe me, Share me you email id and i can show you their dirty emails asking for money.
Not a free visa.... Just that my current company would give NOC with transfer.
It is an Indian company in Qatar which outsource IT staff services to companies in Qatar. And Yes it is real. I am not sure what money part you are talking about though.
@Virlib: Do you think VAMSYSTEMS is real... i applied there and got a reply to pay money to an Indian Address... Which shows it is completely with no office address in Qatar no Contact number but they have lots of vacancies than other consulting firms in Qatar.
You hold your own Visa? Do you mean free Visa....if so it could be the reason for employers not considering the application as Qatar visa formalities are very complicated. The more straighter it is the better...
@Virlib: Pls check. I think VAMSYSTEM is a fake company. i Applied there and got a reply to pay a sum of amount to proceed on an Indian address. They have no office in Qatar. No contact number.
@Recruit... i dont think my CV is less attractive, but if it is, cud you pls chk it once and help me to correct it ?
1. had updated with all details required.
2. My expectations are not high just expecting to work.
3. With 5yrs exp i dont think i shld be counted as fresher. I also hold my own VISA.
4. No interviews calls at all. (NO BAYT, NO QL, NO CLASSIFIEDS)
5. Ofcourse, As its first impression the last impression.
Nimbu if your doing everything right there may be something wrong ...
1. Is your CV attractive enough to attract new openings ?
2. Is your expectation over the market rate.
3. If you are a fresher dont expect things over 5k we all start there.
4. Are you getting enough interviews every week ?
5. Are you confident at interviews or lacking there ?
Ive never been our of a job for over a week.
There has to be something your doing wrong
