It is always best to start with the job classifieds and appointments of the daily newspapers. From the three English daily newspapers published in Qatar that have websites, only Gulf Times includes a daily classifieds section of situations vacant with job vacancies in the form of a PDF file. When it comes to the numerous Arabic daily newspapers with online websites, only Al Wata contains a section for career vacancies at its newspaper in English.

Thru Qatar Recruitment Agencies

It is very difficult to find job vacancies in Qatar through recruitment agencies because most of them do not have websites or their websites are nowhere to be found. The only recruitment agencies which could be found was Key Resources and it doesn’t seem that their website was updated since June 2003.

Thru Government-Run Companies

• Qatar Airways, Qatar's national airlines and sometimes mistaken as Qatar Air, has a careers section which includes job vacancies in for flight and cabin crew, vacancies in its subsidiary companies, and other positions. In order to apply, a user must download their six page application form, fill it out, and then send it back to them by email or by post.

Private Companies
iHorizons provides eBusiness solutions and has offices in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, and Jordan. They have a careers section that has vacancies in Doha and Amman.

Doha Bank, which has branches in Doha, Mesaieed, AlKhoor, Rowais, New York, and Karachi allows the online application of their job vacancies.

Commercial Bank of Qatar has a section for careers, but unfortunately seems to be only highering Qatari nationals.

Other company websites posting vacancies include the Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO) and Qatar Steel Company (QASCO).

Interview Tips

Interviews are more important than CVs since they are the real criterion upon which the final say about your personality and whether or not you are the right person for the job is detected.

Here are some interview tips, which may help you getting prepared:

• Dress properly, it is an official interview. 
• Arrive early or be exactly in time for the interview.
• Greet the Interviewer with firm handshake, eye contact and a smile.
• Be confident in yourself, don't shake or stutter while speaking.
• Don't be arrogant; that's something that may cost you the job.
• Always keep a smile on your face; never frown.
• Listen carefully to every word said and show interest.
• Don't say a word you're not 100% sure of; especially the foreign words.
• Be honest in answering any question.
• Wait until the interviewer finishes talking before you ask any question.
• Don't ask too many questions because that leaves a bad impression.
• Don't ask about the salary until the interviewer brings the subject forward.
• It's better to let the interviewer determine your salary.
• If you like the job, say it but without degrading yourself.
• By the end of the interview, say that you have enjoyed the interview and that you're looking forward for a potential cooperation.

On your way to working in Qatar…

You must have a passport first. Passports are required for all foreign nationals entering Qatar. However, visas for short-term stays are not required of fellow Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) country nationals. This includes citizens of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, only. Holders of Israeli passports and anyone whose passport shows evidence of travel to Israel will be denied entry to Qatar.

Anyone applying for visas, permits and/or medical examinations in Qatar should know a few things beforehand. Expect long waits. All ministries and offices that need to be visited are known to be crowded. In order to avoid anxiety, try not to schedule appointments during the morning you intend to visit these offices. Bringing a light snack or drink in case you cannot leave for lunch is also a good idea. Also, note the office hours of these places, from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., which is likely to be different than to what you are accustomed. Arriving early is always best, and try to be at your destination by the time it opens.

The procedures for obtaining visas and other permits can be confusing to newcomers, but do not let your disorientation allow others to take advantage of you. Do not let others get in front of you in line. If you do not understand an instruction given by an immigration authority, ask him or her to repeat it. Bringing an Arabic-speaking friend or colleague may prove helpful. Most companies have an Arabic-speaking employee whose job is to arrange visas and other formalities. It is extremely useful to take this person along for any bureaucratic dealings.

All travelers to Qatar should have passports valid for the next six months at least, and should hold valid entry visas. Four passport-sized photographs, a visa application and a letter from the sponsor in Qatar should be submitted for this purpose. This procedure will usually take four working days or more. The U.S. and the Qatari Governments have a reciprocal arrangement by which Qatar issues U.S. businessman a multiple-entry visa for 10 years.
