TOP OCCUPATIONS IN DUBAI

Dubai, the wealthiest state in the United Arab Emirates, is one of the top destinations for tourists world-wide and now has potential for residential occupation as a variety of jobs have opened up for many classes of professionals and workers.

A large number of pilots from around the world have taken up the numerous, lucrative positions provided those are largely unavailable in their home countries.Also made available are jobs for financial workers, such as accountants, particularly since the recent trend of financial institutions moving their operations into the Middle East. The high demand created by this and other factors, leads to exorbitant compensation packages for those who take up one of the many openings.

Also available for the working class are jobs in tourism, ranging from hotel receptionists, to bagboys, room service attendants etc. Even these jobs can easily turn a six-figure salary in the right places.To top it all off, Dubai holds a special attraction for fun-loving people with its numerous nightclubs and parties, yet another job opportunity for bartenders and other club staff, that provide good, more or less wholesome, relaxation after a hard day's work. It also offers some of the world's best restaurants that rival those at the top end in places like New York, but are easily affordable in such a wealthy country. All in all, a wonderful quality of life is standard in this little-known economic paradise. When a country this perfect opens its doors to foreigners, who would not want take advantage?
