Salam all,
I am trying to get a job in Qatar and I have followed job ads and send more than 70 faxes but haven't got not even one single reply. Does anyone know why is that?
It is worth paying money ($92) to the online site: JobsInDubai for them to find a job? They are asking people to pay this amount to make sure that job seekers are serious. Can we trust them on that?
Thank you xtian001 and Mystica a lot for your comments they are very useful. I have read your article xtian001 and I am going to take your advice on board, thanks again.
Sometimes companies still put fax number in their advertisements. but if they have electronic application form in their job adverts on line you're better off to fill up those. Nowadays they have these systems and it does works! You just have to be patient to fill up all your details rather than sending it by fax.
Beldi, the thing with Fax is that most offices have one fax machine for about 50-100 employees. If that's the case,your fax might just get buried when you send it to the company. Other than that, there are also a lot of people applying for the same job you are applying to...
Just to give you an advice, this is taken from my post a year ago concerning MY experience applying for jobs...
"All the jobs I had for the past 6 years were brought about by using the Internet. I haven't sent a hardcopy of my resume since 1999 to apply for a job. And the thing is, I must have sent a hundred to 200 emails to potential employers in the span of 6 years. I did get more offers than the actual number of jobs that I held. I declined going to China, Hongkong, Egypt and Cyprus. I also missed joining a gaming company in the Carribean because of a wrong email address."
"You could also do a google search for the industry that you want to be employed in. For example, do a search in google for "hospitals + Saudi" (without quotes). Go to the specific hospital website, look for an opening and send them your resume. Heck, even if you don't see an opening, send them your resume. You'll loose nothing by pressing that send button."
