Im currently in Manila Philippines and considering going to Dubai for work.?

Question

Im mainly interested in call centre jobs? Are there any agencies anyone would like to recommend..both here in Manila and dubai.. thanks.

Answer 1

I don't know of any agencies but I do have some advice if you really are interested in moving to Dubai.  When you do find employment, make sure that your package includes free accommodation.  If they say that they will include "housing allowance" in your package, then make sure that it is enough to pay for a decent living space.  A single room flat/studio flat goes for a minimum of Dhs 80,000/year.  If you opt to "share" with fellow kababayans. (Usually 6 persons/room on the average).  Bed space costs around Dhs 800-1,500/month.  Travel allowance for your daily commute is also something to consider.  Dubai is a very modern city with lots of traffic and expensive public transport.  I wish you luck kababayan :)  Oh and if someone tells you to come here with a visit visa and just try your luck in finding a job when you get here, I wouldn't take that advice if I were you.  Too many kababayans have made that costly mistake.  Try www.monstergulf.com and send them your CV.
