work abroad, Uae or similar. Building work

[billie1005]

Can anyone help, i am trying to get building work in the Uae, I am an experienced builder but would also do tiling, plastering etc etc. I am struggling to get a contact, or find vacancies from this end and get the impression that you need to be out there applying. Unless i can speak to anyone that already works out there, pherhaps your home on leave/holiday at the moment and yu know a contact or agency that i can get in touch with. Pherhaps you know someone working abroad and they would be able to put me in touch with someone?, i would be greatful for any help. I have applied for jobs through the internet, but i seem to be getting nowhere, i get the impression it would be easier if i was out there and apply that way, but its a bit of a risk going out there without a job in line. Please can anyone help? a contact for an agency that pherhaps you are working for, or know someone thats working for would be great. Many thanks

I am new in Dubai too, I am here from Florida, USA for a research that is based on the education in UAE (http://rachelpatton.livejournal.com/705.html). My husband however is an engineer and he has having difficulty in getting a decent job. I would be very obliged if someone can let me know hoe to apply if there is some proper channel or something to apply for jobs in Dubai!
