thanks all for your kind well wishes.

What a coincident morane, I just bout a pair of polarised sunglasses the other day!

Mistercary, I am not an eng. I am in the IT filed! sorry I wish I could help.

From my experience, do not try to build your professional experience in the middle east, build it somewhere else and go to the ME to make a kill. You need to prepared to go to places where the average Eng. will not go.

Hello Sir Kimozi, First of all congrats on landing a job at QP. You should have a great experience working with them..

Sir, if its not too much of a trouble for you, can you let me know what work you were doing previously?. How you entered the oil and gas industry. I recently graduated as mechanical engineer, and everywhere I try they're asking for experience. I am trying hard to apply to many oil companies, but I have no experience in oil industry and experience is a big issue.

Can you please let me know which company you started working first. How much experience you gained and how you applied to QP. Please advice me on where to start for gaining experience. I do not worry much about salary now. I just want to get a job in the industry and gain experience and understanding.

If you want to send private message, please mail me at: [email protected]

Thank you very much for your time sir. Welcome to Qatar!
