<br />Asalamualikum DXB Raf,
i have just joined this forum after having a look at the thread that is going around and i highly appreciate your input in that regard.
although the picture is scary as u state but it worth having the true picture. i am planning on cming to uae in mid dec. i am an acca affiliate with 2 yrs experience in Pakistan Sate Oil. i have registered my self with icaew and planning on giving the two papers in june. this is all i am. i have constantly been applying to job vacancies that come in khaleej times or gulf times but no response till yet. but then i agree that as i am not available in uae at the moment its hard to get a call. but the problem i beleive is with my cv. i am asking for a fovour from u if u can go through my cv and provide me on tips as to how it can be improved if u dont mind.
another thing is as im a trainee in PSO i can only get leaves for a month max. no more or else ill have to quit the training thing and its a big call. wht do u suggest?? should i come to uae with cost involving min 50k just for a month or should i wait??? i am 24 at the moment and my main concern is good pay.
thankyou,

WS,
Sorry for the late reply. I was too busy with monthly closing as we had eid holidays in between.
The picture is not that scary if you read my posts. I have mentioned that jobs are there but salaries have gone down and experience requirements have gone up due to excessive supply of finance professionals. Jobs are being advertisied everyday but the candidates are also huge in number. 3 years use to get us 12k before 2008 but now its no more than 8-10k. If you ask for more employers have got numerous good candidates to take your place.
Complete atleast 3 years of experience before moving to UAE.
It won't be possible for 50k PKR. As your ticket and visa alone would cost 35k for a month and 50+ for three months.
I was in similar situation. I chose to forgoe some very good offers in Pak to move here for 3 months. Its your personal decision.
If you can upload your cv somewhere and give me a download link, would be good. I am a CV freak myself. I firmly believe that a great CV can do the job. Upload it i would like to review.
