I have almost 20 years experience as an Executive Assistant and it is my dream to live and work in Dubai. I have been doing a lot of research on the area, and I am determined to make this happen! I am getting a lot of good positive support from my family (my parents and my son, who is age 27), they are encouraging me to do this and I believe it would be a wonderful experience. How do I begin? Should I use a headhunter? I have heard that accommodations are very expensive but some companies offer accommodations as part of their compensation package? Are there any laws I should be aware of, for hiring American citizens as opposed to nationals for administrative positions?

whatever you do be prepared for the emotional challenges of living abroad especially a place where the culture is very different than the US. i have spent a fair amount of time overseas and have female friends who have worked in the middle east. it is not for most people since it is harder than most people think to make a life (not just a vacation) outside the US. if you do go, make sure you have a good support system and plenty of financial resources to rely upon to get home when needed. good luck.
