1. Freelance or permanent?
   Hi Peter – I know of a couple of people searching for freelancers in the UAE at the moment if you want to send me your e-mail address I’ll happily forward it to them.

   If you’re looking for permanent work there are a lot of job boards serving the gulf naukri.com, bayt.com, monster.com (gulf version) and so on…

   The work is tax free and there’s plenty of opportunity and it’s winter here now – and the weather is great! Summer is a whole different matter though.

2. How about Australia?
   Hi Peter

   I’ll email you the contact details of someone I know in Australia. She used to work with me here in the UK, took a holiday in Oz and never came back!

3. Confusion?
   Hi Annabel do you want to work in the UAE or do you want to work in Bahrain – as they are two separate countries separated by a time zone.

   There aren’t much in the way of training specific organisations out this way, and more in the UAE and very little in Bahrain (as it’s a very small country).

   Check the job boards recommended at the bottom of the posting by me for contract work and permanent roles.

   It’s much better to get a job before you come as work is not a guarantee in this part of the world – though I haven’t found it very difficult.

   Remember to take into account the tax laws – if you only want to stay a few months you may find yourself liable for tax on all your tax free money when you head back to the UK.

4. Confusion indeed !
   Nik,

   who is Annabel ?!! Please find my email address below as per your first entry.

   Thanks, Peter

5. Indeed
   It appears that Annabel deleted her post – making me look slightly mad…

   Anyway Peter I’ve forwarded your mail address onto my contacts here – and they’ll be in touch if anything comes up.

   Good luck, Nik
