Getting Employed in Doha

Doha, the capital of Qatar, is the economic center of the country and houses more than 80% of its population. Its economy is hugely dependent on oil and gas reserves like other cities of the Persian Gulf. The diversification move by the government has led to burgeoning of jobs in Doha across various emerging industries.


Everything You Should Know before Becoming a Firefighter

I spent a career (in what seems now like another life) as a firefighter in a medium-sized city in the Pacific Northwest. We saw our share of action in both EMS (Emergency Medical Services) and fire situations. I learned and experienced a lot in that job and found that it takes a certain kind of person to flourish in that environment.


Tips to Keep Your Entry Level Resume Cover Letters from Going in the Filing Cabinet

 

I find it very difficult to write a custom letter.  I know what I want to say but I have hard time putting it in a professional format and language relative to the industry.  For that reason I"ve found it very helpful to use a cover letter program I got a few months ago.  I didn"t really pay any attention to it at first being that I was just taking the easy route and using a generic letter.  Needless to say that wasn"t working.  I figured I might as well use it.

 

After a careful analysis of the value I can offer the company I get down to business.  I determined my value was in the energy I can bring the company, new ideas and a different perspective.  I also, saw opportunity in being more proactive with my approach.  I felt that if the company saw me making an effort to know about the company before I was hired they would see the type of drive I bring to the position.

 

To make my entry lever resume cover letter stand out I made a couple additions to my letter.  I made sure it was addressed to the correct person.  This isn"t difficult.  I simply called in to the company hiring and asked who ever answered the phones who would be the person to review resumes.  When they answered my question I would ask if it was safe to say that the same person would be interviewing candidates.  If yes go from there.  If not they usually would give me the information without me asking.  Pretty simple stuff!

 

Applying these ideas really help me secure more interviews and eventually a job.  It was challenging but I can say that as soon as I took a more professional approach to my communication with the prospecting employer.  My results changed.
