The Cost of Job Hunting in Dubai: A Detailed Breakdown
If you decide to find a job in Dubai on your own and submit your CV from abroad, be prepared for a longer-than-expected process. Researching companies and sending out hundreds of CVs can be time-consuming, and it's almost impossible to verify a company's reputation from afar, which carries a certain risk.
However, candidates already in the UAE have the advantage of attending interviews in person, significantly increasing their chances of being hired. But what are the costs involved?
Expenses Breakdown:
1. Flight: $200 - $300 for a one-way ticket (depending on the airline and your departure location).
2. Accommodation: You need to budget for at least two months of rent:
- First Month: Focused on job searching.
- Second Month: Waiting for your first salary.
- Cost: $400 for a shared room or $800 for a single room per month.
3. Nutrition: Dubai is an expensive city, and food will take up a significant portion of your budget. If you cook at home, estimate about $300 - $400 per month.
4. Transportation: Business offices are often located away from the city center, requiring the use of taxis along with public transportation. Budget around $100 - $200 per month.
Total Estimated Costs for the First Month:
- $1,000 – $1,700
Benefits of Using a Professional Employment Agency:
- Protection from Untrustworthy Employers: An agency safeguards you against unreliable companies.
- Support in Force Majeure Situations: The agency remains your contact throughout your contract.
- Covered Expenses: The employer handles all visa, accommodation, and flight costs.
Choosing a Trustworthy Agency:
Look for an agency with a representative office in the region where you seek employment. This indicates strong market knowledge and connections to reputable employers.
