One advice that I will always give to find a job in UAE regardless if it’s technical or not, is to have connections. 90% of the people I know have been hired through connections. With the state of the economy and downsizing of HR departments, a connection bringing in a candidate is so much easier than going through the whole recruitment process. Focus on making connections that will refer you to be hired.
I also noticed that even technical jobs these days are being taken by people that stand out from the crowd and have great social skills and personalities. Therefore, I would recommend you focus on standing out from the crowd.
