Job ad noted :: UAE community blog

"Indians are not preferred to apply."

The UAE is 80 percent nonnationals. Many companies prefer to hire from one nationality or segregate nationalities by job classification. Classified ads are often very blunt about preferences by ethnicity.

The country's population is very heterogeneous, but within jobs it often is not. However, in my department we have a team of 15 with members from US, Egypt, Jordan, Armenia, Iran, Korea, Sri Lanka, Bolivia, Turkey and New Zealand.
