Hi,

I am glad I found a forum like this and I hope its an active forum from where I can see some guidance on applying for a job. The reason I am posting under the Abroad > Gulf Dubai Saudi Arabia UAE category is because I intend to work in the gulf. My dad is presently working in the gulf (in Saudi Arabia) and I myself did my schooling there before coming to Mumbai to finish engineering. I graduated from Mumbai University in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering.

I wanted to study ahead so I thought of MS in USA and applied for MS in Electrical Engineering. For one year, I didn't get the visa. This is the second year in which I will be applying for the visa soon (June - July) and I may not get it despite my efforts.

That is why I approached this forum to know if I may have any job opportunities. In this time (2 years), I was side-by-side working on projects of embedded systems (microcontroller 8051), and I know C, C++ languages. I also completed a course in Industrial Automation, which is certified from Kuwait (at Prolific Systems and Technologies, Thane).

I am ready to send my resume to people who are interested in giving me a chance. I plan to be very dedicated to my work, and at this point I want to continue my life (education or carreer). I got some jobs in Mumbai, but by standard of my parents they were not worth taking. I too felt the initial payment was low.

Given my profile, that I have lived in the Gulf and my father still does work in the Gulf I would like to know if I have any chance applying, or how I should go about this.

Regards,
Vivek.
