Depends. 12 years experience of doing what? Security, help desk, basic networking, design etc? Do you have a degree? What certifications do you have? Packages 'usually' include, free medical, housing allowance, return ticket home once a year. But then again, depends on the type of company, your type of skills etc.
2 :
Dear Raman The Package will be depending on your qualification and experience (in which sector of IT etc). But to live here with your family, you should ask for a salary package not less than AED15K per month. Better to ask for an accommodation from the company and not accommodation allowance... It will reduce the stress of you... Best of Luck Thx

My 18 year old daughter is going to work in Dubai in July for 2 years, is she safe and what can she expect

My 18 year old daughter is going to work in Dubai in July for 2 years, is she safe and what can she expect?
She will be working at a holiday resort - lifesaving - on a two year contract. I have heard some horror stories and then I have also heard some wonderful stories. I am really worried as she is so young and has never been on her own.

Err on the side of caution and tell her to stay, I think. If it weren't bother you, you wouldn't be asking the question.
2 :
yes she will be safe but dubia have some very strick laws so she will need to read up on them before she leave
3 :
Just be sure you tell her you love her before she leaves. I can't believe you sending an 18 year old female alone to an Islamic country for two years to take a job that involves her wearing a bathing suit in front of a bunch of rich Arabs who get all frisky at the sight of "uncovered meat" as the mullahs like to refer to it. Best of luck to your daughter. I'd rob a bank to get her some money before I'd let my daughter do such a thing.

Dubai is a very progressive middle eastern countyr. At the same time, it is still an islamic, middle eastern country. It's an interesting mixture really. There is decadence over there that would make the most capitalist American proud, yet it's still an islamic society. I agree with one of the other posters. Make sure she's well-informed on the laws, and just try not to stick out. I've been there before and I didn't feel uncomfortable. The males still wear the traditional getup, but most of the women I saw walking around look just as they would here.
5 :
keep her at home and be safe or be sorry later no BS its not safe for some experiened people now you want to send her here keep in mind HOLLOWAY in aruba
6 :
You may want to read the Country Specific Information on the UAE put out by the Department of State at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1050.html. Wouldn't hurt to have her register with the US consulate in Dubai, which can be done on line as well.
7 :
she is only as safe as she is cautious. There are dangers for women everywhere overseas and Dubai is no different than Bangcock.
8 :
I take it Natalee Holloway has taught us nothing about how international law does NOT favor women. As progressive as Dubai is, women still disappear to human trafficking rings, and it's no secret that because of it's infancy as a developing nation, no real laws are in place to punish atrocities against women (or foreigners or the non wealthy) or to protect women (or foreigners or the non wealthy). Yet you're asking how safe your 18 year old daughter will be in a Muslim country where women are worth less horses and camels. I know you're asking because you love you're daughter but maybe if I tell you a simple little story, it'll put things in perspective. I remember getting a call from my daughter's school when she was in kindergarten. She was on the blacktop at recess, got hit by a ball hard enough to knock her out and had been taken to the local emergency room. I worked 45 minutes away, and racing down 95, I could only think of how I would react should I hear the worse. Furthermore, the emergency room staff could only tell me she was stabilized and could only perform 'life sustaining' measures until I got there and signed waivers for treatment. THAT, my friend, was the longest 45 minutes in my life! Translate this to a 16 hour flight to Dubai should (God forbid) your daughter ever need you, you'll be climbing the walls. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I can't imagine any amount of money being that important - scratch that - I can see how an 18 year girl can be seduced into thinking that making her money quickly could be the solution to a lot. However, we don't need to be the creators of our problems; problems can come looking for us, particularly as Americans where we're used to certain 'rights' not afforded to us in other countries. I know, at 18, you can't require your daughter to stay home. I'm hoping you have a good enough relationship with her that you can influence her to stay put. As a previous poster wrote, better to err on the side of caution and avert any possible tragedy. By the way, my baby was okay, but she was diagnosed with epilepsy. What she had suffered was a seizure. I sure would have hated being further away than 45 minutes, so I quit my job to find something closer. I don't know what your circumstances are but I certainly will be praying for your daughter and your family.

I am interested to work in dubai

Apply from your home town if you are a graduate and able to win an expatriate contract including accommodation, flights, medical cover and other benefits. If you do not have a degree, visit Dubai and look for work, but expect a smaller salary and no benefits. Expat contracts are usually time-bound, for two or three years, whereas local recruitment is open ended with few perks.
2 :
Regarding new visa rules you have to enter the UAE on an employment visa/employment entry to work in the UAE. Therefore you have to look and apply for a suitable job online. Your future employer/sponsor will then provide you with the proper entr permit. Especially these days it takes some time to find a good job. If you come here on a tourist visa and find a job, you risk to send be send back home for 30 days and enter the country on the proper permit. This can become costly for you, because these costs have to come out of your own pocket. Right now there is a "ban" on work permits for ctizen of India, Pakistan, the Philippines etc. This may not be the case for high professionals.

better apply from your hometown don't waste your time and money here becuase many people they come here to find a job and when their visa's are getting over they try to take any jobs here i have seen many people better you apply from your country and sure you will find what you are looking for .
