Teaching abroad in Dubai or Hong Kong? Can anyone share their experiences?

Hi,

I am a qualified teacher, I've just recently passed my NQT year. I specialise within Early Years, and i'm currently working at a school with a high percentage of EAL children. I really want to teach abroad but I'm torn between Hong Kong or Dubai. My best friend is in Dubai and I'm kind of swinging more towards Dubai because of that fact, as I wouldn't know anyone in Dubai. I just don't know. Can anyone enlighten me please? It would be great to hear your experiences.

Thank you.

    For Dubai jobs please check the web sites below and apply online, they may give you the salary scales also. This is in ascending order considering number of jobs advertised, so try most in the once at the top

    www.indeed.ae / www.gncareers.com/ www.dubizzle.com/ www.linkedin.com/ www.monstergulf.com/ http://www.charterhouseme.ae/ /www.gulftalent.com/ www.naukrigulf.com / http://mindfieldresources.com/www.bayt.com/ http://gulfrecruiter.com/ www.michaelpage.ae/ www.roberthalf.ae/ /Alfuttaim careers /www.nadia-me.com/ http://makimia.com/ http://www.ijobscity.com/ http://buzzon.khaleejtimes.com/ad-category/jobs-va... www.jobs-me.com/ www.sundusrecruitment.com/ www.bacme.com/ http://www.jobtrackme.com/ www.hays.com/ www.jobscan.ae/ www.emiratesgroupcareers.com www.lobomanagement.com/ www.sosrecruitment.net/ www.randstadmena.com,

    Also try to improve your connections through linkedin, which I feel one of the best ways to land a job because most of the jobs are not advertised so applying through contacts are very important

    Also since these days everybody apply through the web hand delivery of the CVs also a good option

    For freelancer jobs you could try nabbesh.com, odesk.com or elance.com

    You can try an employment agent in your country also but try only a trusted one

    Also search the web for list of companies in your industry (Eg:since you are a teacher get a list of schools in UAE) go to their web sites, go to careers or contacts and apply directly

    Best of luck!!!

    My friend is teaching in HK. He says the rentals are excessively high while the living space is small. But of course it is a relatively safe city in the world.
