Please help me with what I need to know to write a good CV, I read that the format for GCC countries may not be the same as other countries. What makes a CV more eye catching?

My understanding is that your resume should be one page unless absolutely necessary. Resume can make or break your next job interview. I'd suggest to get it done with professional cv writers. They have a magnificent skill to mold your information in well groomed resume. You might find this site useful:http://www.cvpro.co.nz

Thanks all.... Does this mean that there is no chance of finding a job in Qatar without a recommendation?? Looking at IT senior positions, I think finding IT jobs there is not going to be easy.

Any additional advice on finding jobs in Qatar?

Try this link to help you on your way to start your CV. Here in GCC, I noticed that having a Education Background, Professional Certifications, big titles and listing out lot of responsibilities on each job makes the CVs eye catching.

no particular format...

for the contents, just be true on what you input.

i've known some id1ots who copy paste others CV and acted as they are the one with the experience of those stuffs....at the end everybody prove that they are just plain dumb.
