I am British. I speak Arabic and English fluently. BA Banking and Finance degree from a British university (1st class). 2 years work experience in finance. 1 year work experience in sales. I am looking for a graduate scheme or a job to go and work in Dubai. Any websites? employers? suggestions?
The Middle East regional manager of WH Marks Sattin replied
It is tough to give an exact diagnosis on this without knowing what sort of finance and what you were selling, but one clear bit of advice that I would give to anyone would be that in the current market you are most likely to find a job doing almost exactly what you were doing last. With jobs, broadly, few and far between and employers cutting back on training and development expenses they will more often than not be in the market for someone who can "hit the ground running".
Speaking Arabic is an advantage in the Middle East, but at a junior level in your career you would probably need to be already in situ to get a job.
Best of luck
