Everyone in this world dreams of having a good & satisfactory job, happy life and a peaceful mind. If a person is earning a good amount to lead a comfortable life, has all the leisure, and is satisfied with what he earns, then he is the luckiest person in the world. It has become a necessity to have a high paying job, no matter in which part of the world the person is staying. A good job which also brings satisfaction with itself can be the best to lead a good life. Thanks to the Internet that the world is very much connected together and the people can easily look for the jobs on various online job portals. The job industry has been very much affected by the recent recession, which has left many people jobless, and has shot up the unemployment rate.

The risen unemployment rate had raised everyone’s eyebrows and the Middle East countries emerged as the great saviors, with the oil and gas industry serving as the greatest employment providing sector. However, the situation is recovered and there are a number of new jobs in UAE. The job industry of UAE has shown very good results in the past few years by hiring candidates at all levels, and from different countries.

Over the few years, there is a rapid development in the job sector of UAE, and has marked a remarkable increase in the number of passed graduates and other professionals. The UAE government is also planning to reduce unemployment at all levels and sectors amongst nationals, and has encouraged the businesses to hire the nationals and also promote higher education.
There are recruitment quotas for natives of UAE, especially in the administrative sector, where the secretaries and PR officers must be natives of UAE. However, there are opportunities for professionals from other countries in sectors like tour &tourism, accounts and finance, construction, and oil & gas jobs in UAE.
Problems encountered by the expats:

The main issue lies in the fact that there is a higher rate of unemployment among graduates of UAE, and to combat that, the companies are replacing the expats with the natives, and aid in emiratisation.
To improve the chances of getting jobs in UAE, the candidates can pursue higher education, as the candidates with a postgraduate qualification, specialized skills or appropriate work experience have more chances of gaining employment.
Language requirements:

Like other countries, the business language of UAE is English. Although, the companies dealing with local products and services demand good written and spoken Arabic apart from English.
