how difficult is it, if at all for a woman to find a suitable job in Doha

My wife and I are moving to Doha in a short while. She is an architect and we've been trying to find a suitable position for her through a couple of headhunters here. There hasn't been much on offer though. How difficult would it be for her to find employment in Doha?

The way I see it, it's easier for caucasian women (especially american/british/canadian women) to get jobs. But it's really not gender based.

Good luck.

You don’t have to look for headhunters here! That won't work at all! At least my experience says that!

Just have a look at Qatar yellow page or look for the companies (in the same field) online. They have a section for career or they are accepting resumes online. That will work quickly.

Even she can check the classifieds in Gulf Times.

the online one's are bayt monster gulf and naukri.

As for a real one, I'll try to take a look, I've never used one myself because I contact companies I'm interested in directly.

Amnesia,

Thank you for your response. Can you kindly refer me to one or more of these agencies. The only ones I have been able to contact are the internet based ones.

hope to hear from you soon.

I think employement isn't an issue for men or women in general. Everyone's looking for a job :P

However if she goes through a couple of agencies (not just the online ones) she'll find it easier.
