Jobs abroad.

Hi all.
I'm considering working abroad. I would like to find jobs in the Middle East and Far East.
Could anyone with experience of this, recommend me any sites for job searching?
I am an Electrician.


Cheers.

Re: Jobs abroad.

If you go to work in the middle east you will be working in very high temperatures, 40degrees C plus and at times very high humidity. You will be competing against workers from the far east, Filipino's, Thais etc. They all work for less that we would. By all mean investigate as there might be other positions open to you that I am unaware of. I am by no means an expert, I worked in Saudi for 17 years in a different industry to you.

agreed didn't know that people from the far east worked in the middle east but people from poor backgrounds will work for less as many of the workers are men sending money back to their home countries which has a cheaper standard of living and they will always work harder because if they loose their jobs their families will just starve.
