			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In just over 30 years, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates has transformed itself into a desert fishing village into one of the world&#8217;s tourist hotspots. With all year sunshine, magnificent hotels, sandy beaches and an incredible lifestyle, this city is not only a playground for the super rich it is a city that boats a vibrancy and multiculturalism. We will look at methods of how you can get a job in Dubai.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Dubai property boom as well as its tourist industry firmly put the emirate on the map and as a global destination and as a result, people want to move, live and work here. Moving to another country can always be hard so it&#8217;s quite helpful to know a few things that may help you obtain work. Below are a few tips;</p>
<p><span id="more-95"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Carry out your research on job agencies before you get to Dubai. If you are visiting Dubai on a vacation or a short-term holiday then it&#8217;s a good idea to try and get your due diligence carried our beforehand. The internet is the best initial starting point to identify agencies that focus on your industry sector.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Prepare a CV to Dubai standard. This will ensure that you are presented as best as can be. These often differ slightly from your standard UK CV or American resume.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get all qualifications attested by the UAE embassy in your country beforehand. This will save time and effort of the office in Dubai sending it back to your native country. It also demonstrates your keenness and enthusiasm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Be in Dubai as much as possible. This many not be quite so obvious but if employers know that you are in the region then you will be more likely to be called for an interview.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do not lie on your CV. The UAE is notorious for the way it carries out background checks on previous employers. Recently, there was a story of an expat who got deported after 25 years for lying on his CV.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The majority of job agencies like to do things by email and do not allow people to see them without a visit. Unlike in the UK where you can visit a recruitment agent, things are slightly different in the UAE.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pick a reputable agency or one with some credibility; most of these are based in Sheikh Zayed Road. When you do eventually decide to get in contact with these agencies, try and do everything first thing in the morning so you&#8217;re emails can be dealt with as quickly as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It can be quite frustrating dealing with recruitment agencies and trying to find work in Dubai but that&#8217;s part and parcel of the process. Do not expect the greatest customer service; however, things are starting to improve. Just keep going and don&#8217;t give up and eventually you will find that dream job.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have been writing articles for websites for many years. One of my favourite topics is the home where I talk about Bathroom Lighting Ideas. This includes the various types that are available such as Chrome Bathroom Lighting. Visit the website to learn more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A resort area is a place where people go for vacations and resort is used to refer to some hotel which is situated in that area. United Arab Emirates has seen remarkable growth when it comes to tourism industry. Dubai was the first emirate to invest in its tourism sector and it paid significantly. Abu Dhabi followed the suit and came up with several tourist attractions and while these two emirates have achieved considerable success, other emirates are also working on their infrastructure and tourism facilities, for instance Sharjah and Ajman.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Beautiful beaches and exotic locations make UAE an ideal place for tourists to spend their vacations. Most of these tourists arrive from developed countries like United States or UK, therefore the absence of world class hotels and resorts can spoil the overall experience, making it harder for foreign tourists to spend quality time in UAE. That&#8217;s not the case with UAE though; here you can find superlative hotels and resorts in abundance. Dubai has got the most and Abu Dhabi is not far behind. You can choose among a number of different resorts by comparing their rates, services and locations.</p>
<p><span id="more-57"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dubai Resorts:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As stated above, Dubai receives a number of visitors from all parts of the world. If you are looking to visit Dubai and looking for a short stay, you can pick one from the numerous first-rate hotels situated in the city, such as Jabel Ali Golf Resort &amp; Spa, Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort, Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort &amp; Marina or Al Maha Desert Resort &amp; Spa. All of these resorts are world class and rates are not high as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Abu Dhabi Resorts:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Abu Dhabi has a lot to offer to the tourists, the development work is far more planned as compared to Dubai, as a result it&#8217;s not as congested as Dubai. Although, there are not as many hotels in Abu Dhabi as Dubai but there are enough hotels to accommodate the tourists coming to the city. Some noteworthy resorts in Abu Dhabi are Sheraton Abu Dhabi Resort &amp; Tower, Golden Tulip Al Jazira Hotel &amp; Resort, Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Resort &amp; Spa, Danat Resort Jebel Dhanna or Desert Islands Resort &amp; Spa.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sharjah Resorts:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even before Dubai started to come into the view of outside world, Sharjah was a well known city in some parts of the world, thanks to a series of international cricket matches being played at its ground. If you are looking to spend vacations in Sharjah (the third largest emirate of UAE) you can choose any of Coral Beach Resort Sharjah, Lou Lou A Beach Resort, Marbella Resort Sharjah or Radisson Blu Resort.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With one of the highest per capita incomes in the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a focal point for investors in this region. The UAE is traditionally associated with oil and natural resources. However, this is certainly not the only industry with business opportunities. The governing bodies within the emirates that make up the UAE are proactive in developing incentive schemes and building infrastructure to make the region competitive with business hubs around the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Free Zones are one such program to provide infrastructure and incentives to a variety of industries and investors. A variety of free zones have been developed within the UAE. These include Dubai Airport Free Zone, Hamriyah Free Zone, Dubai Internet City, Jebel Ali Free Zone and many more. Some of the appealing benefits for incorporating in the UAE include the option of 100% foreign ownership, extensive infrastructure, a wide range of facilities (warehouses, offices, industrial parks) amongst other things. The UAE has made a strong, combined effort to diversify their economy, slowly shifting the dependence on their oil reserves. They have achieved success in their tourism industry, spurred by the lavish and luxurious lifestyle images of Dubai. The other sector lobbying for development is the service industry. Their main attraction &#8211; the free zones; these Free Zones are all encompassing business models providing readily available access to the technology and infrastructure a modern day business requires to be competitive.</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some examples of the free zones available are outlined below.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jebel Ali Free Zone, the first free zone in the UAE, was established in 1985 to coincide with the Jebel Ali Port, the world&#8217;s largest man-made harbour. It is strategically located between the two cargo transport hubs, the Jebel Ali Port, and the Jebel Ali Airport, both boasting large capacity for freight transfer. Since its humble beginnings the flagship free zone has matured to a fully-fledged micro-economy, boasting 6000 companies, 150 of which can be found in the Fortune Global 500.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Dubai Airport Free Zone is another popular choice for international branch offices, or entrepreneurs. Still relatively new, it was built with the most cutting-edge technology and infrastructure, such as optical Fiber Optic networking. It also boasts access to a large number of consumers, most of which are highly affluent individuals; predictions forecast 60 million commuters through Dubai International Airport in 2010.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both of these zones offer a wide variety of facilities; high-class offices, storage and warehouses with the potential to be adapted into an assembly factory. They also offer entrepreneurs assistance with their business models, finding potential business partners within the free zone, and are available for consultation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hamriyah Free Zone is located on the west coast of Sharjah. Because of its deepwater port and import/export-orientated infrastructure, a Hamriyah Free Zone entity is suitable for international trading activities. Low annual license fees make it particularly attractive to manufacturing companies. For small to medium enterprise, there is a specific &#8216;Hamriyah SME Zone&#8217; consisting of seven strategic clusters to promote the development of SME&#8217;s. Programs include the E-office package that provides SME&#8217;s with individually tailored assistance to operate a business successfully.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Dubai Internet City (DIC) provides an open knowledge economy ecosystem, setup with the infrastructure to support business development for ventures in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) field. It has reach to the large emerging markets of the developing world, including the Middle East, India and Africa &#8211; covering 2 billion people. The big players in the ICT world have already established operations at DIC, including Microsoft, IBM and DELL. Amongst the scale of its operations and modern infrastructure, DIC also provides additional support, especially for fledging entrepreneurs; Firststeps@dic is a program designed to assist businesses evaluate future business potential without investing large stakes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAKFTZ) is a relatively young venture. In less than ten years it has developed into a world-class business hub providing facilities for industrial growth and state-of-the-art infrastructure. It is located 45 minutes from Dubai, the business hub of choice for many in the Middle East. There are four unique zones within the RAKFTZ, each catering to specific sectors, namely the Business Park, Industrial Park, Technology Park and Al Ghail park offering offices, warehouses and Land.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All of these zones offer tax exemption for entrepreneurs who wish to undertake company incorporation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The UAE will likely continue to develop and nurture the service, tourism and other industries, as the jurisdiction pursues a strategy of diversifying its economy and relying less on the oil industry. The infrastructure and incentives provided by the various Free Zones make company incorporation in the UAE an effective platform for operating an international business.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Healy Consultants is a leading corporate services firm that assists entrepreneurs and investors with their company incorporation requirements.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Whether we call it a recession or not, one thing is sure, we are going through a severe economic crisis, which will be discussed (once over) in the Economics syllabus and debates, in coming years.

All the economic indicators and reports are also confirming to the fact that there will be no slowdown in near future. Let&#8217;s have a look at this thriving economy and the contributing factors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Oil &amp; Gas reserves:</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">UAE has almost 10 percent of world&#8217;s oil (proven reserves), while the gas reserves amount to 4 percent of global reserves. According to Middle East government portal, these reserves can last well over 150 years. Recently when soaring oil prices took a toll on all and sundry, this part of the world remained mostly unscathed. Among the seven states, Abu Dhabi is the biggest producer, producing more than 80 percent of the total UAE oil and gas production. There&#8217;s hardly any chance that oil consumption and demand will go down in future, so the black gold will continue to fuel economic growth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Construction &amp; Real Estate:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dubai has done remarkably well as far as real estate market is concerned. Grand projects like &#8220;The Palm&#8221;, &#8220;Burj ul Arab&#8221; or &#8220;The World&#8221; managed to draw investors from all over the world. Abu Dhabi and other states are also working in this sector. The demand will be much stronger than the supply even after the completion of ongoing projects. Real estate investors are now much more interested in UAE properties, after the credit crunch in US market, considering it a safer option than others.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">High-Class Tourism Industry:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Biggest shopping mall, tallest building of the world, indoor ski resort, white beaches, deserts, man-made islands, some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, crime free environment, rich cultural heritage, international sports event, to sum up, UAE has got tourists attractions in abundance. Tourism industry contributes significantly in over all GDP and it will continue to do so in the coming years. Many development projects are in progress; world-class airports, bridges and other infrastructure programs are about to complete.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s not that UAE is somehow immune to whatever happens globally, but with ample oil reserves, strong real estate market, foreign investments and an exuberant tourism industry, UAE is better equipped to put up with such situations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A different economy, different parameters, and a different scenario altogether, recession is here and apparently it&#8217;s here to stay. If you are an aged fellow, you&#8217;d know that these calamities come and go, but if you are relatively young (or someone affected by it), you&#8217;d be feeling like a deer caught in the headlights while listening to the news of economic crisis sprawling all over the world. A recession like situation in US was always on radar when the credit crunch began, and the aftermaths were supposed to be seen in other economies as well. But some economies were considered resilient enough to pass through this phase unaffected. One of these &#8220;thought-to-be&#8221; solid economies was UAE, which thrives on its oil reserves, real estate and tourism.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not that the earlier estimates were wrong, and UAE economy is deemed to go down with the recession, but then we are living in a global village and you can&#8217;t just detach an economy from those who are having trouble. All things considered, UAE may well be able to put up with the ongoing recession, but this economic unrest will definitely weaken the economy pillars.</p>
<p><span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Real Estate &amp; Construction:<br />
In past three years, we saw magnificent growth in Dubai real estate market. Properties were sold like hot cakes; mega projects announced one after another, land reclamation projects, world&#8217;s tallest buildings, huge shopping malls and what not. Is it over? You&#8217;d ask. Well, certainly not, however the things (e.g. property flipping) are going to calm down to some extent. Construction will not come to a halt anytime soon but will surely drop (you&#8217;d have been reading a lot about those 25 percent of world total cranes operating in Dubai, a few of these giant machines can have a break now). Same is the case with real estate prices, they will continue to rise but not at that maddening speed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Financial Market:<br />
Hardly anyone would have suspected it to reach UAE, but the financial crisis that started from US has been spreading like jungle fire. Even now, the situation in UAE is not that dismal by any means, and it&#8217;s unlikely to get that worse (oil exports will keep bringing in the much needed capital, particularly in Abu Dhabi). But the banks and other conventional lenders are already panicked, which has resulted in high interest rates. Unavailability of finance will most likely be a problem that Dubai government has to sort out (Dubai has recently got a huge financial aid from Abu Dhabi).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tourism:<br />
It&#8217;s not much of a brainteaser for anybody to realize that recession will have a negative affect on tourism industry, especially when most of the tourists coming to the Emirates are from regions that are believed to be the most affected ones (UK, America or Europe). Instead of spending on traveling, people will be looking to save more for tough times ahead. Among all Emirates, Dubai will be hardest hit by this plunge in tourism.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Generally speaking, the picture may not be that rosy in UAE but it will look a lot healthier when judged against the wobbling economies of US or Europe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If I may ask you a question, have you tried to search vacancy with keyword jobs in UAE or other employment keyword for this country?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here I will give you a short information why you need to try to find the job advertisement related in this emirates.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UAE or United Arab Emirates is a Middle Eastern Federation with seven states situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf that bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. The states of this emirates as follow : Umm al Quwain, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, and Ras al-Khaimah.</p>
<p><span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This country is very rich in oil and natural gas. The growing started in 1970s after gaining foreign direct investment funding. This Emirates has a relatively High Human Development Index for the Asian continent, ranking 39th globally and having the 5th highest GDP per capita in the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another reason why we are talking about jobs in UAE is his economy as below:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The emirates has a rapidly growing economy with a high GDP per capita and energy consumption per capital.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The GDP per capita is now on the 14th in the world and in the 3rd in Middle East after Qatar and Kuwait according to CIA world Factbook, or the 17th in the world base on International Monetary Fund. The population of UAE is quite small only 4 million. The GDP of this country ranks second in the CCASG after Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a lot of vacancies or jobs in UAE available since there is a massive construction boom, an expanding manufacturing base, and a thriving services sector are helping the diversify of its economy. Such projects include the Burj Dubai, which is slated to become the world&#8217;s tallest building, Dubai World Central International Airport which when completed, will be the most expensive airport ever built, and the three Palm Islands, the largest artificial islands in the world. Since the population is low, there are also many UAE Jobs and employment UAE are available for expats.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many others construction boom such as Dubai Mall which will become the world&#8217;s largest shopping mall when completed, and a man-made archipelago called The World which seeks to increase Dubai&#8217;s rapidly growing tourism industry. Also in the entertainment sector is the construction of Dubailand, which is expected to be twice the size of Disney World. The currency of the United Arab Emirates is the Emirati Dirham, exchanging at a rate of about 3.67 per US dollar. So if you are searching jobs vacancies now, why not trying to find for jobs UAE?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The Indian FMCG industry is one of the key growth drivers of the economy. Dominated by SMEs, mostly in tier II and III cities, the sector is currently estimated at around $17.42 billion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Significantly, the segment has grown at a time when nearly all other sectors are bleeding due to the ongoing economic turmoil. Motivated by the robust growth and increasing demand, Indian SMEs in the FMCG sector are eyeing foreign markets to expand their footprint.</p>
<p><span id="more-12"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The UAE has an open economy and a high per capita income. Owing to its rich oil resources, the Emirates have evolved into highly developed and industrialised markets for foreign investors, including Indian SMEs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the trading front, India is one of the foremost trading partners of the UAE. In 2007-08, India&#8217;s exports to the UAE stood at $15,634.56 million.** In recent times, the demand for Indian consumer goods has increased at a steady pace in the UAE. As a result, a large number of Indian FMCG exporters have established trade linkages with their counterparts in the Emirates to tap this burgeoning market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">UAE&#8217;s FMCG sector weathers recession</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In recent times, the FMCG sector in the UAE has achieved phenomenal growth. It has remained largely insulated from the adverse impact of the global economic crisis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to trade analysts, the demand and consumption of consumer durables will continue to rise in the UAE in the near term. Hence, market experts foresee that the Emirates will emerge as a key export destination for Indian SMEs in the FMCG segment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Indian SMEs can capitalize on the duty sops extended by the UAE government on the import of components required for manufacturing consumer durables by setting up their manufacturing units there. Furthermore, Indian FMCG companies can grab a significant market share of the UAE market by offering B2b Products at competitive prices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, it is imperative for Indian SMEs to assess the market thoroughly before venturing into it. These companies can also collaborate with FMCG players in the UAE market to achieve long-term growth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With bilateral trade between India and the UAE poised to exceed $25 billion by 2010, Indian SMEs can cash in on the demand for consumer goods in the latter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In recent times, the Indian F&amp;B industry has shown great potential to emerge as the biggest revenue-generating segment in the country. Ranked as the world&#8217;s second-largest food producer after China, the Indian F&amp;B industry is currently estimated at around $182 billion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although domestic demand and consumption have increased considerably in the past few months, Indian food manufacturers, especially the small-sized enterprises, are exploring new destinations to increase exports.</p>
<p><span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Market overview.<br />
The UAE is among the world&#8217;s most economically developed countries. One of the largest producers of oil in the world, the UAE is a lucrative market for foreign investors. According to trade analysts, UAE&#8217;s economy will continue to grow even at a time when most developed markets are struggling due to the economic recession. This projection is attracting a growing number of small-sized Indian food companies to tap this burgeoning market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The UAE imports around 60% of its food from Asian and African countries. Owing to the huge demand for cereals and other food products in the UAE, the country has approached Asian countries like India and Pakistan to supply rice, wheat and other food products.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Statistics reveal that over three-quarters of India&#8217;s food product exports are supplied to the Gulf region.[ii] India primarily exports vegetables, meat, dairy products and confectionery to the UAE.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Food for thought.<br />
Food exports to the UAE are estimated at around $3 billion annually. To increase this volume and gain from the UAE&#8217;s business-friendly environment, Indian Food companies should offer high-quality products to consumers who have a high purchasing power.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To gain easy access to the UAE food market, several small-sized Indian food companies have collaborated with their counterparts in the region. Several trade fairs and conferences have also been organised in the UAE to help Indian SMEs explore the potential of the UAE&#8217;s food market. Indian exhibitors have recorded strong participation at Gulfood, one of the biggest food exhibitions in the region.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Indian government is also looking at boosting trade in agro products with the UAE to help Indian SMEs capture market share in the region. Meanwhile, the UAE government has also shown interest in investing in the Indian agriculture sector.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With both countries showing a commitment to enhance the scope of mutual trade and investment, Indian food companies, particularly the SMEs, can look forward to a profitable outing in the UAE.</p>
