Hi All,

I want to pose this query in front of honorable senior HR professionals who have experience working overseas. As I am an HR fresher, I have a total of 2 years of pre-MBA experience in admin, along with 8 months of post-qualification experience in recruitment and payroll. Recently, I have been receiving emails from some sites regarding opportunities in Gulf countries. I've filled out questionnaires as demanded by the intermediary site, providing my current and expected salary (converted into DIRHAM). After processing my resume and questionnaire, they are offering me an opportunity to appear for interviews with four employers (their clients). However, they are asking for a certain amount of money as processing fees.

I am very keen to work overseas in my domain; however, I cannot afford to waste my time on fake or irrelevant offers. Please suggest reliable sources or sites to apply for vacancies in Dubai or European countries and the necessary steps to follow for this process.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,

Hey Vishal,

I guess if you want to work abroad, you will surely have to invest money as processing charges for a visa and other formalities. I also tried a lot for it and approached a few consultancies providing abroad recruitments, but it didn't really work out. Alternatively, you can apply for a work permit for the country you wish to work in and then go there to search for a job, which might be a bit difficult. You can also call the helpline number (Just Dial) and ask for consultancies that provide international recruitments.

All the best :)

Hi Vishal,

I have just seen yours, and I'm also trying for that. I got the same, but I didn't. According to my knowledge, search for a better consultant (recruitment agent "licensed") and approach him, so that he does well.

All the best.

Hi Anshwish & Jog,

Thank you for your wishes. I am keen to work abroad and am willing to invest an amount of money as per my budget. The confusion in my mind is that I don't have rich experience in the HR domain. Despite this, if my profile is getting shortlisted (as per the emails I am receiving), is it worthwhile to apply for a work permit?

As I am a fresher, I prefer to engage in these procedures only after receiving confirmation of a job rather than going there and searching for a job, as it could potentially harm my current career prospects. Anshwish mentioned trying JustDial, but it seems to connect with consultancies focusing on direct immigration rather than providing recruitment services abroad. Is there a platform where I can find authentic guidance, as Mr. Jog rightly mentioned, "Licensed recruitment agencies"?

Please guide.

Hi Vishal,

You know, it is not so hard to get a job abroad, especially in Gulf Countries. I have one idea: search on the internet for a list of Gulf's companies in the same field in which you have experience. Call their HR Department and obtain the contact details of their Recruitment Agent in Indian Cities. Get in touch with some of them, and you will surely land a job within a short period.

Moreover, I am attaching Legal Overseas Recruitment Agents' Details herewith, which I obtained from the Website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India.

Hi,

Thanks a lot, Mr. Anshwish, for the consultant list. I will consult all four consultants right after finishing this reply and will search on Google with the keywords suggested by you.

Mr. Mahesh, thank you for your advice, as some people told me to make a prepayment as it is mandatory for further process. However, I'll keep it in mind as suggestions from experts in Cite HR, like you, are always proven reliable to me.

Mr. Rashid, the legal agents' guidelines provided by you are definitely helpful. Your idea to call companies with present opportunities is also very feasible and promising.

Thanks a ton for all your suggestions, guidelines, and support.

Hi Vishal,

Even I have almost the same experience in the HR domain as you, and last year I received an offer from Dubai Metro as an HR executive. However, as my father had worked in the UAE for a while, he informed me about the actual working conditions there.

Here are some tips if you are considering a job offer in the UAE:

- Do not give any money except for visa processing.
- Do not lend your passport to anybody.
- Check websites for the estimated cost of visa issuance.
- Ensure you have a legal letter or offer letter confirming your appointment.
- Verify that there are no hidden terms or conditions, such as relocating to another place.
- Ensure there are no intermediaries; only deal directly with the employer.
- If possible, confirm whether you will be on the company's payroll.

In my case, the salary offered was only 5k dirhams, with deductions for food and accommodation in a basic dormitory. However, my friend mentioned that the actual salary offered was around 10k dirhams. Thus, I declined the offer.

If you can provide more details, maybe I can offer you better advice.

Dear Vishal,

Appreciate you for coming here to seek advice from experienced professionals.

It's really hard to get an opening overseas for HR & Admin staff. The system in the Middle East is entirely different from what we studied in books and practiced in India. The main areas of HR & Admin duties are related to immigration, labor, Ministry of Health, insurance, visa, labor card, etc. Only an experienced individual can handle this with the help of local staff.

Official documents for the aforementioned departments are in Arabic. If I don't know Arabic, I will always be the first one to be removed from the department as soon as an experienced individual with Arabic knowledge arrives. (Sounds pretty insecure, right?)

The average salary of a fresh Admin staff in the Middle East is around 30,000 INR (AED: 2000-2500, KSA pays less: 1800-2300 SR, Kuwait pays the least: KD 140-180). This is after the recession. After the recession, plenty of experienced candidates are available in the job market, reducing the chances for freshers.

Never compare salaries with Indian currency. The best package you may get in Dubai, the most expensive city in the region! Seven years ago, my monthly salary was my monthly expense this year!

Find out the company's background before making any decisions. Check if they are listed anywhere on the internet. If a company doesn't have a website, you can imagine the status of such companies in the Middle East. (If this company is in the UAE, please send me the name... I will help you).

If the company representatives from the UAE ask for payment for the visa process, NEVER join that company. You will struggle for your salary later! Normally, agencies take a large cut. Don't pay more than 35,000 INR.

Please feel free to contact me if you need further assistance.

It is nice that you are looking for an opportunity to work abroad, but you need to be very alert because there are consultancies (FREELANCERS) registering fake accounts and emailing all the pool of candidates to trap them by levying processing charges. Utter care has to be taken for verifying the employers.

The emails you receive should be from the company's domain. The interview letter should be on the company's letterhead. Cross-check the contact numbers with the company's name. Use internet resources for reliable information. I recently received an email from Maersk Shipping for South Africa, and to my shock, it was fake.

After reading the offer from Jobs in Dubai (J I D) to Mr. Vishal, I understand that it's a TRAP because of many reasons!

Send all other mails from them before a final judgment. I want to alert authorities here in the UAE. As per the UAE labor law, it is punishable to charge applicants, even receiving gifts; recruiter's license will be canceled!

Your offer is not from any company but from a job portal (I hear about this job portal in Dubai for the first time during my 7-year career in Dubai). The offer came to you by getting your email ID from another famous job portal. And they request you to register on their site - Another Trick!

The mail came from the job portal's Account Manager.... I want to LOL! The Account Manager's name looks like a Keralite. The domain name and the Head office belong to Canada. An office named "Jobs in Dubai" in Ontario, Canada..... My God, somebody give me a kick on my head!!

Their address is like giving a location map. I doubt they put it like that because they wanted to convince applicants they are real. In fact, can any company, even a small office in the UAE, give their address like:

Aaa Bbb Cccc (L L C)

P. B. No: 1234, Dubai

UAE

Ph: 04 - 3456215

Fax: 04 - 3145213

web: www.jobsindubai.ca

99% of addresses will be like this. Then we have to call to locate their office. Here in your case, they didn't give a Fax number. No Post Box Number! Even a small office CANNOT BE OPENED without a Post Box Number in the United Arab Emirates!!!

Since I am out of the UAE for the time being, I told my colleague to check the given telephone number. He hasn't answered yet. The telephone line may be answered. When they realize it is an inquiry from inside Dubai, it might be a 'Wrong Number'. Normally it happens like that here. I have previous experience.

You, job seekers, understand one thing. After the recession, 40-45% of UAE employees are out of work. If any company needs experienced staff, there are plenty available for a lower salary.

Still, there is a chance, only a chance, that this office exists. It should be new. They started collecting data. But if they demand a fee from applicants, they have to close tomorrow! Send all the emails you received from them, please.

I received a call from my Dubai colleague while typing this reply. This office is closed (J I D Networks). The machine answered. Working hours are 9 am to 5 pm, Sunday to Thursday. My friend also told me that many "Mushroom" manpower supply agencies have appeared after the "recession monsoon". Before they are closed by officials, they disappear with poor job hunters' savings!

Best Advice: Forget this overseas offer!

Dear Mr. Vishal Dogra,

Having read almost all the comments posted here, I have one FRIENDLY suggestion for you. I feel that along with your quest for better jobs abroad, you NEED to IMPROVE your English. As you know, the internet is a global community, and your good English here may land you a great overseas job one day. Also, learning Arabic is NOT difficult, as I have done it from Radio Bhavan, despite being a non-Urdu (non-Muslim).

Hey Vishal, I know you are desperate enough to work overseas, but don't make wrong decisions that you have to regret later.

Dear Vishal,

I run a recruitment consultancy, since 20+ years, and we specialize in jobs abroad. We do not take any processing fee from the candidate, and like to work for clients who would not only pay us but also take care of all expenses pertaining to candidates' travel, visa, stay, etc.

As rightly pointed out by Mammu, HR people, especially freshers, would not find relevant jobs for themselves, as their education is relevant only in India. I really appreciate the efforts by Mammu in finding out about the offer you had. I also get many such people with fake letters, even from names of renowned companies like SHELL.

My advice to you is to gain some good experience in India, maybe specialize in training, and then venture out for a job abroad.

Please find below the corrected text with proper paragraph formatting:

:) Don't mention thanks... please. I consider it as my duty as an Indian to another Indian. I really don't want to get people in trouble.

There are some specific positions which seldom recruit candidates directly from other countries without experience in the Middle East. Administration staff is one of them.

It is said companies don't charge for visas. If known by authorities, the company will be in trouble. Still, you readers should know what is happening in reality. When employees/labour are required in bulk, the authorized person (usually the admin manager of the company) contacts the local manpower supplier. This supplier should have contacts in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka & Pakistan, etc.

The company representative (admin manager here) contacts the local agent and informs that they need 50 unskilled and 25 skilled laborers. If this order is given to this specific agency, how much can they pay him! The normal offer is AED 4000-5000 for each unskilled visa and AED 2500-3500 for skilled laborers. The local manpower supplier will contact the overseas manpower supplier with a demand of AED 500 extra for each visa. The manpower supplier overseas demands double or even triple times this amount from the job applicant!! (The best price for a visa paid from Bangladesh, 300,000 to 500,000 DAKA is paid by the job seeker for a 'HELPER's visa!)

After all of these negotiations, the local manpower supply agent arranges the travel arrangements for company representatives to conduct interviews (usually 3 persons, 3-star facility stay in the city, including an air ticket offered by the overseas agent). The overseas agent will handle all formalities. Only the final interview is done by company representatives. Money will be collected by the overseas agent, and they will transfer the amount to the local agent later.

This is how visas are becoming more expensive!

Normally, company owners are unaware of these practices. There are very crooked company owners who know this trick. They directly demand visa fees from suppliers.

Actually, the total cost of VISA + LABOR CARD + HEALTH CARD + INSURANCE for one person for 3 years is AED 3150 in UAE from March 2009.

I described above the recruitment process of skilled and unskilled laborers from overseas.

No company charges a visa fee for staff categories. They are usually recruited from local markets after conducting a minimum of 2-3 interviews. All expenses are borne by the companies.

Please feel free to contact me if anybody needs further clarification in this regard!

BEWARE! If any of your unskilled relatives want to come to the Middle East with a 'Helper' visa, please don't send them. That will be their journey to SLAVERY! :(

Hi Vishal,
Other members have shared really good information on Thread.
It’s true fresher would most probably be offered Administrative job in the Gulf & UAE regions.
As Mammu007 (nice Takhallus Ah!!) has mentioned, Administrative work is major part of HR Department in these regions. The only reason is that major percentage of their workforce is foreigners. Knowledge of Arabic would not be MUST but for sure it’s DESIRABLE requirement.
In fact for any country or state in India, HR personnel with knowledge of local language is preferred J
Visa processing and all these basically admin work not HR. That’s why HR Administrative job title is very common here (major administrative plus HR job activities)
However, experienced HR professionals are being offered other than Administrative jobs too (Training, OD etc.). Its all about one’s past experience. In fact it’s the same kind of practice in India. HR theories are same all over the world and so HR practices and initiatives with little local impact. Only the differences are in local labour law requirements and some administrative practices.
Well, it’s true agents do charge or collect money job offers and visa in these regions. However, its for unskilled, semiskilled or labourer jobs. In fact the some companies ask their recruitment partner to collect it specially from Bangaladeshi and Nepalies, as workers from these countries have shown practice of running away back to their country or to another companies and work illegally. However, companies pay them back the collected amount on their completion of 1-2 year in the employment.
Companies have practice to bare all cost of visa, traveling and relocating for staff category employees. You being MBA graduate, you would be in this cadre. I suggest, you should not pay any amount to for such visa. Company would take care the visa process, travelling arrangements. Unless, as mentioned by somebody earlier that you can get your free visa (same like HSMP for UK, H1B for USA or PR for Australia), get into the country and search for job.
Having own visa rather than company sponsored is generally a better deal and brings you more opportunities too. As sometimes companies may not be in position to offer visa (their approved visa quota get finish too), or they can avoid visa cost, save visa processing time and can get candidate who is already familiar with local culture. So in such cases having own visa bring you more opportunities.
In fact, this is my third oversea country and third continent too. My experience says companies are always willing to pay for visa and all other cost as long as they are getting the right personal and their country’s Labour ministry a lot Visa. My first jobs after completing my MBA was an oversea job and have not paid any amount for visa for any of these jobs.
It’s true, I had lost good opportunies for not having own visa or permission work in “that country” , but one can always find another company from another country to offer you. It all about how flexible one is.
It generally takes 2-4 months time to search such job. I would suggest you; be persistent for searching your oversea dream job and sooner or later you will get it. At least such persistent search had worked for Mee J .
Please remember, for fresher getting job within India is not that easy. So searching FIRST oversea job may be tougher experience for fresher. I feel its relevantly easier for technical job than management.
Once you have oversea job experience stamp on you resume, it should be easy for you to get attention of other foreign employers. For experience, you can also try oversea long term (min 1 yr)paid INTERNSHIP. Companies do appoint fresher under this internship programs and than offer them long term and fast track career based on their performance during internship. Actually, companies treat them as equivalent to other employees and offer challenging assignments. You may search on internet, nowadays its much easier to find internship than 5-6 yrs back.
For searching job in Eurpore, knowing local language would be very much desired with having own visa. Rest other develop countries too, they can get foreign candidates with work visa available locally (like uk, usa) than why company would go expensive visa processes unless you have some very special skills, competencies to offer. However, Internship program can help you to enter in those countries easily J
Ohh!!! Long posting Ah J Hope I could give clear views on your all queries and confusions.

Hi,

Pardon for the late reply due to the long weekend. I would like to thank all the HR fraternities who are replying to this post and helping inexperienced professionals like me. I am especially thankful to Mr. M. Sadiq (Mammu007) to whom I sent the mail. After his cross-check and evaluation, the outcome on offer helped me to escape from this trap. The explanation of the fake offer is really useful to others who are receiving the same kind of emails. His informative post, "Why is Visa getting expensive?" really gives insight into what is happening behind the curtains. Definitely, this would help us spend our hard-earned money wisely.

Ms. Anshwish, I am glad you understand my keen interest in working abroad, and I am convinced by your and others' suggestions that expertise is the key to venturing overseas. Working conditions in different countries should also be taken into consideration when making a blueprint of future plans. It would be great if we could get more details in this post regarding working conditions, necessary information, and formalities in various countries.

Thanking all who have replied and expecting some more knowledge regarding this issue.

Hi Vishal,

I just saw your post. I have no idea about it, and I think it would be easier for you if you know somebody who lives there. I agree with you that it's difficult to recognize fake companies, so I suggest you find and contact an HR consultant in Dubai or any country and seek advice from them. Additionally, you can search for the company on a search engine and check their profile. For the visa process, I think the company should bear the expenses.

Hi Vishal,

Other members have shared valuable information in the thread. It's true that fresher candidates are likely to be offered administrative jobs in the Gulf and UAE regions. Administrative work is a significant aspect of the HR department in these areas due to a high percentage of foreign workers. While knowledge of Arabic is not mandatory, it is a desirable skill.

In many countries, including India, HR personnel with knowledge of the local language are preferred. Visa processing and related tasks are typically administrative rather than HR functions, which is why HR administrative job titles are common, involving a mix of administrative and HR activities.

Experienced HR professionals may also be offered roles beyond administration, such as training and organizational development, based on their past experiences. The principles of HR are universal, with local variations mainly in labor laws and administrative practices.

It is common for agents to charge fees for job offers and visas, particularly for unskilled or semi-skilled positions. Companies usually cover the costs of visas, travel, and relocation for staff employees, including MBA graduates like yourself. It is advisable not to pay for visas, as companies often manage the process and expenses, offering more opportunities for candidates with their own visas.

Having your own visa rather than a company-sponsored one can be advantageous, providing more opportunities and flexibility. Companies are generally willing to cover visa and related expenses, especially if the candidate is the right fit and meets the country's labor ministry visa requirements.

I have worked in multiple overseas countries and continents without having to pay for visas. While not having your own visa may result in missed opportunities, being adaptable can lead to finding alternative job offers. Persistence in searching for your dream job overseas is key, and gaining international work experience can open doors to further opportunities.

For fresher candidates, securing a job in India can be challenging, making it potentially tougher to find an overseas job initially. However, gaining overseas experience can enhance your profile and attract foreign employers. Consider long-term paid internships abroad to kickstart your international career, as these programs can lead to permanent positions based on performance.

In Europe, knowledge of the local language and having your own visa are advantageous for job seekers. Developed countries like the UK and USA prefer candidates with existing work visas, unless individuals possess unique skills or competencies. Internship programs can serve as a pathway to entering such countries easily.

I hope this response addresses your questions and concerns clearly.

Dear,

It is my pleasure to help you in any possible way in this regard.

Laws are almost the same in any country in the Middle East because all of them adhere to 'Sharia Law'. KSA has the toughest laws. A non-Muslim will find it extremely difficult to lead a normal life there.

In Bahrain and UAE, you will find more freedom. UAE locals behave very decently with expats, unlike in KSA and Kuwait.

Bahrain changed its Visa sponsorship rule in August 2009. It was called "A REVOLUTION" in the region. (Please google to learn the details).

"Own Visa" does not exactly exist anywhere in the GCC. There will be a sponsor in your 'Iqama' (Residence Card). In KSA, they allow (not by law, authorities turn a blind eye to this) working under another employer who is not your sponsor. However, this practice is unimaginable in UAE or Kuwait. If an employee is found working under another employer (not mentioned in his 'Bataqa Amal' - Work Permit), three people will be fined: Employee - AED 3000/-, current employer AED 10,000-50,000-, and the original sponsor AED 25,000-50,000!

The paradox is... YOU CAN STILL FIND PEOPLE WORKING ILLEGALLY!

As Mr. Amish mentioned, HR and Admin are always a single department in this region. It is also called PRO (Public Relation Operation). UAE implemented a new rule last year that the PRO representative in government offices should be a local (Emarati).

Hope you can find an Admin Assistant job in any good companies. Start from there. Gradually, you will learn... Maybe years later you will say to yourself, "Oh, these were the systems Mammu wrote to me on citeHR!"

Don't give up. It may take a little longer to navigate through this recession.

Wait and see... Good day to you,

Hi Dr. VS Rege,

I would be thankful if you could provide me more info about Radio Bhavan for learning Arabic language. Thank you :-)

Amish

Dear Mr. Amish,

I completed my Diploma in Arabic from Radio Bhavan, Arthur Bunder Road, Colaba, Mumbai on a one-to-one basis, way back in the 1990s. Since I was a professional working full-time, I opted for a one-to-one option. I do not want to advertise any institutions here and hence suggest to you that you may look for any suitable well-known school for learning Arabic closer to you.

In case you need Radio Bhavan's info, please call Just Dial.

Let me assure you, learning Arabic is not at all difficult; on the contrary, it has been an enjoyable learning experience for me which brought me a lot of success in dealing with Arab clientele from all the Arabic countries. You would be surprised to know that though the basic Arabic is the same, its dialect changes with the countries, and good news - Dubai Arabs speak pretty good Hindi.

All the best to you.

Hi Vishal,

This is Sudhir. I have four years of experience in the domain, and now I have the opportunity to work overseas. I have received the offer letter, and there are no charges involved. This is a direct recruitment process. Your resume should be strong in alignment. Initially, don't expect a salary; this way, you will gain exposure through work.

Regards,
