I would like to work as a Junior Associate. How easy it is to find a job in a Law Firm in Dubai? How should I approach Law Firms? Should I send them my resume directly, or do you think it is better if I get registered in one of law jobs websites?

A good education and experience is the key. Statistics have shown that employment in Dubai pays most for experience. Companies in the UAE are not looking to train employees. They want you to train some of the local employees in whatever field you specialize. You need to be a specialist, and the minimum number of years of experience should be 4 to 5 years to be able to negotiate an attractive salary package.

The link giving below will provide you with infos about landing a job in the UAE.

Good luck!

What are the best possible websites and consultants available who can assist

I can see why you ask this q. Apparently lots of the agencies in Dubai are not very reputable. And one is warned not to send any money unless one knows that they are to be trusted:

I suggest you ask on the expat forums, from people living in Dubai, who would know which agencies are trustworthy:

I am into channel sales in Dubai, want to move to Canada/US. I am an Engg+ MBA by education and have an experience of 2 years i year India and 1 year in Dubai. what is the best way to find a job in Canada/US.

If engg means engineer, you should have a good shot. There are h-1b jobs available, I guess just google the type of job you are looking for.

There’s no doubt about it - Dubai is hot. It’s attracted a lot of attention in the last several years, becoming a symbol of wealth, luxury, and innovation. Tourists, and those seeking to relocate, have been flocking there in droves, which led to rapid growth and rapid increase of property values and prices.

Yet, when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Even Dubai, which saw a 79% increase in property price since January 2007, is now facing a bit of a housing slump. In fact, one source predicts that property prices will fall by 10% by 2010. Overall, though, that’s still a gain of nearly 70% in just three years! That’s an incredible increase by any standards.

So what drives this increase in price? Several things: good old supply-and-demand, greed, and escalating costs of construction. Similar to other places in the world, the high prices of gasoline and oil (originally a boon to Dubai) are now being felt more deeply as products they need are increasing due to those same high oil prices.

Supply-and-demand has affected property prices because of that same skyrocketing interest in Dubai mentioned earlier. It has gained so much attention in the last several years that even they underestimated how many people would want to invest in their real estate-which only became available to foreigners in 2002.

Knowing that the demand is high for their work, some contractors and others with low integrity are being greedy and inflating prices, trying to make the most off the Dubai property boom. Unfortunately, those who are greedy are also short-sighted. If they get away with these inflated prices now, they’re only working themselves out of business sooner. Others, less greedy but who can provide excellent work, will do well to under-bid their greedy counterparts and get the jobs.

Some protective measures are now being taken in Dubai, thanks to these rising property costs. Some buyers are being asked to hold on to their properties for a set period of time before trying to sell them again. This will hopefully bring some stability to Dubai and not merely make it an investment flip market for owners.

Some believe oversupply in Dubai will occur sometime in 2009, which will help fuel the predicted 10% price fall by 2010. It is hoped that no matter what occurs, Dubai will not encounter a massive hit such as Singapore did in the 1990s.

For now, many investors in Dubai property remain optimistic and confident. They were able to build up a bit of a profit nest egg and some security before things started to shift. They don’t have as much construction to worry about and some of their properties are leased out or otherwise bringing in income, if not yet profit.

Dubai continues to have great attractions for tourists and others wishing to see its man-made and natural Middle Eastern splendors. Dubai would do well to take advantage of its mystique now, and attract more events to it, and continue to generate interest. Perhaps they should also spend some time getting to know what happened in Singapore before the bottom fell out from them!

Absolutely.

There’s always growth if you know where to look for it. Sometimes the biggest opportunities arise when things on the surface appear fairly bleak.

Here’s the hard truth: the market is going to be weak for quite a while. This won’t be a short, shallow recession. Even when the economy improves, the employment outlook will continue to deteriorate for up to a year and a half. Employment is a lagging indicator.

If your strategy is to put your head down and wait until this passes, prepare for a long wait. Instead, maybe it’s time to figure out how to capitalize in spite of - or perhaps even because of - the economy.

Businesses have done it - you can do it, too.

Don’t believe me? Do a little sleuthing and you’ll find quite a few successful and enduring companies that were launched during downturns - or worse. Take Hewlett-Packard, which was founded in 1939 - during the Great Depression and on the brink of a World War.

Or how about Microsoft? The 1974-1975 recession was considered at the time to be the worst downturn since the 1930s, yet Microsoft was founded in the midst of it.

Then there are the companies who opt to continue advertising during downturns (sometimes increasing ad spending) and end up significantly improving their market share as a result.

There’s something to the contrarian approach. While other people hunker down and are paralyzed with fear, you can make strides by doing the opposite. Doing nothing is not the winning strategy.

You may need to change tactics, yes. You’ll need to get creative, you must have a good understanding of industry trends, and you’ll definitely need persistence.

Sometimes what you need more than anything else, though, is a little dose of courage.

I suspect you’ve heard this quote from Mark Twain before, but it’s worth repeating:

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear-not absence of fear.

The economy is lousy; nobody knows what’s coming next. Uncertainty breeds fear. It’s normal to be fearful. Just don’t let it paralyze you. Turn it into something constructive; use it as a catalyst.

Make sure your fundamentals are solid. Are you as marketable as you possibly can be? What might you do to improve that? How can you adapt yourself so you can migrate into more robust sectors? How’s your network? Are you paying attention to it and actively seeking to widen your circle of contacts? What are you doing to contribute to your company’s bottom line? What’s your strategy in terms of your career management? What do you need to do to get from point A to point B?

Take a look at the lay of the land. Who is still hiring? Pay attention to the employment report each month. Read the trades. Some sectors (like health services and education) continue to grow. Specific job categories within other industries are growing - do you know which ones? Then there are cases where you’ll find opportunity in unlikely places. Take the financial sector. Many who were laid off in the recent meltdown are finding new jobs - overseas - in places like Shanghai and Dubai. Yes, it’s a global recession. But there are pockets of growth, just as there are in the States.

If you’ve been laying the groundwork for a foray into entrepreneurship, don’t assume that you now must wait until the economy improves to move forward. This might be a fortuitous time to continue to execute your plan.

Lost your job? Worried about your job? Feel like the chances are good you’ll make it through unscathed? Whatever your circumstance, you should have a plan. Immediate future, 5 years out, and so on. Know what course you want to plot and how you’re going to get there.

Change is inevitable. This recession is a reminder.
