Unfortunately, I found that Qatar is a highly competitive country and you get so many different nationalities with diffferent levels of education. If you really want to stand out, the most important thing is to have your College degree (Business, Engineering, Education, Medicine), however, most worthy positions really require several years of experience, references, and even post graduate studies (like your MBA, CFP, Masters or higher). That's the primary reason why my husband and I decided to return to the US to finish school-- everyone has a bachelor's these days so employees are really expendable unless they are specialized in a certain field or have advanced degrees.
Hope that helped! and Good luck!
