I have got a offer of 3500
AED in sharjah. Which covers transportation only.suggest me for accommodation ( bedspace and food arrangements) if I want to save at least 2500AED.
I got teaching job offer in Dubai salary package 5500. I want to settle in Sharjah. Bcz in Dubai accomodation is very expensive. I have a 2 years old daughter. I have 2 problems. First is accomodation n second is to find a good daycare Center for my daughter. Plz tell me where can I get a studio flat starting from 18000 dhms. N what is average daycare Center fee in Dubai? Thanx
I have previous experience of 5 years also i have worked in KSA and have a valid LMV driving license of KSA.
So is it easy to get a job or will it be difficult?
Also in Ramadan do companies hire people or not
Since you don't have any host to sponser visa for you, it's better to approach travel agents. They can arrange the same.
And for accommodation - you can find bachelor bed space ranging from 500-1300 AED per month in Sharjah (Dubai, it will be minimum 900 to have OK OK kind of bed space).
For food it will not exceed more than 30 AED per day in normal restaurants.
For transport it depends on your mode selection. For local bus min 5 AED. For inter city min 10 AED.
For Metro train min 3 max 10 AED.
For job search i would suggest to come in visit visa (90 days). Because 30 days visa is always rushing kind of and also to get a job within that time, it depends on the market as well.
Best websites to search job is dubizzle.com , gulftalent.com , naukrigulf.com etc etc....
Also make sure to bring your laptop and bulk copy of your resumes since it's toooo costly to take xerox copy over here. And you need to keep applying for all relevant jobs regularly.
Hope these information may help.
Thanks.
