Naukri Gulf
F>rom the creators of Naukri.com, the job site for India, comes a nice looking site for the Middle East. Registration is not required to search and review listings here, but it will make the application process much easier. They cover more countries than they show on the front page, but not all countries in their "browse" list have jobs at all times. Still, it is well populated and a very easy-to-use site.
Recruit Gulf
Operated by folks with many other regional sites around the world, this one focuses on the Middle East / Persian Gulf region. Registration is not necessary to search and apply for the positions listed here, but it is free, will put your resume in front of recruiters for 90 days, and allows you to set up job alerts and save information on your applications. At this time I suggest you go ahead and search by location over industry or job category as some of those fields are empty. Some very good career info in the resource section.
