UAE Emiratization - Starts from Top to Down

I know how important for the country to have all school, university or college leavers to get job in their own country, and I cannot stress enough how the UAE government give priority for this issue.

We all respect and support young UAE generation that is more open minded and educated to get well paid job and climb the career ladder.  And I'm sure there out there some UAE nationals who can hold highest posts in well known Government run companies instead of foreigners.

Yes, we all need a good most experience employee to hold such high posts as CEO, CEOA, AOO, and whatever you can call it or is known out there, but my point for such posts in a Government run company is better to be from the own soil and blood of UAE, and foreigner as can be as "Advisor"

Read below articles you will find top position is not what we expect.

Etihad CEO

Dubai Airport CEO

And so many others top posts, I hope soon will come a time, such posts can be run by UAE Nationals.

I predict in less than ten years time UAE can have Cheap labour from Europe same like what it used to get from other East and Asian countries.  

World is circle around and spinning and I think world will change from those what so called "first World" will be 2nd or 3rd and those so called "third world" will be first.

Ask anyone at present how is the economy in Europe and USA/Canada,,,NOT GOOD....So why they still deserve to get more when arrive and work in UAE?

God Bless UAE.

No expat quotas for UAE, says Dubai Police chief

Time of confusion rush in, when one looking for a job in any of the Gulf countries, and while in recent times we keep hearing about Emiratization, Saudization or Omanization, these all terms came up when Government insisted that priority to hire citizen on any jobs that they qualified and perform well in public and in private sectors.

Saudi Arabia implemented tougher rules such as introduce quotas to be met for private to hire Saudi Nationals or else facing heavy penalties. But good news that UAE will not follow that according to the Head of Dubai Police. UAE economy and country progress in many fields more than any GCC country second to Qatar now. So keeping such tough rules to private sectors, will hinder the progress, is either not enough UAE National to take over the job or less qualified to perform the job. Any country should keep priority to their citizens to be hired first, it is not right to see qualified citizens are jobless while jobs are filled with experts. 

Since UAE economy and progress is on going, more Jobs in UAE, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or any other cities will still be created and will be available for both UAE Nationals and Experts to fill in. In a long run, jobs in Dubai, UAE will increases and more workforce will be required to fill in. It is true many were affected by the last economy crisis, and left the UAE , but that is the part of life, ups and downs, so when all those who enjoyed and forget themselves and spent thousands from the salaries which they earn while working in Dubai or any other part of the UAE, and some of them even do not deserve to earn such huge monthly income, will immediately start to curse the country and forget where they come from and how they were in good times while in UAE.


No matter what you heard and what happened, do not under estimate your chance of being hired in UAE as an expert. Life is about taking a chance, and what a chance will be if one getting a good job in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or from any other Emirates. Good Luck.
