Dubai: The UAE remains a popular destination
globally among expatriate workers as employment prospects have
increased by up to 8.3 per cent annually and is expected to
maintain its upbeat growth this year, a leading Middle East
online recruitment portal has said.
The trend is reflected in the surge in the number of job
applications from expatriates at its portal, which maintains a
huge database of various job candidates that is increasing
every day, Careertunity.com said.
The unique situation of the UAE's job market, which has
been dominated by expatriates, has prevented it from being
adversely affected by global downturn, ensuring a steady
supply of experienced professionals and international
executives from abroad, it said.
"Several junior, mid-level and senior-level professionals
from different countries continue to actively search for
gainful employment opportunities in the UAE and this has in
turn helped several business organisations in the country to
maintain a highly competent pool of manpower resources,"
Sudeshna Mukherjee, General Manager of Careertunity.com, said.
Furthermore, proactive services and support facilities
have helped maintain strong international interest in the job
market of this Gulf country, the portal added.
