Hello,

I am looking for an opportunity in GCC region preferably in Saudi, UAE, Qatar and Oman. I have been applying to a number of career sites like Bayt, Indeed.ae, naukri gulf etc from my current location i.e Michigan USA. The following is my profile:

B.E- Mechanical Engineering- Osmania University, India
M.s- Automotive Systems Engineering- University of Michigan Dearborn, US

Experience:

1 Yrs Quality control Engineer in Hyderabad
1 Yr Mechanical Engineering tutor at my university in US.
6 months Research assistant in Hyderabad under my professor for a project
2.1 Yrs Product development Engineer for General Motors In US.

I am facing a problem where my applications are hardly viewed ( say 5 in 100 applications),so I have a question. Does these websites work for international applicants.

If not does anyone knows any headhunters/recruiting firms in GCC which helps in Jobs.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, yes it does work but your degree is in Automotive (it usually takes longer time, and the market needs) so I think you could try to apply in these well-established companies in the UAE which is related or familiar to your degrees and qualifications:
- https://www.altayer.com/en/careers/
- http://www.gargash.ae/job-positions/
- http://careers.khansaheb.ae/
- http://www.alnaboodah.com/careers
- http://www.alfuttaim.com/wps/portal/Cor … s/overview

And kindly note that GCC countries do not have the capability to run automobile industries as for now. My best wishes for you.
