For those who like to travel and work overseas, there are plenty of administrative jobs to be found in Dubai. Rapid economic expansion has brought in a flood of new successful companies doing business in this highly prosperous city. With the influx of new firms has come a sharp rise in the demand for business support services.

Businesses are generally looking for ways to become more efficient while remaining lean and profitable. So if you can provide administrative expertise in telecommunications, and systems and methods for boosting efficiency, or any of a number of business support services, your talents will be rewarded.

Some of the functions currently in demand include various secretarial, administrative, event management, bookkeeping, research and typing services. Additional administrative positions may involve word processing, web design, desktop publishing, spreadsheet design, telephone, mail and fax receiving and forwarding, Internet research, consulting, training, and many other support functions.

When negotiating for an administrative job in Dubai, ask your potential employer if they provide their staff with accommodations. A number of companies in Dubai offer free accommodations in staff houses, even to their rank-and-file employees. If your position falls in the low-income range, try to join companies that provide free accommodations. Negotiated as part of a salary package, this can save you a considerable amount of money, since the housing always comes with food allowances and transport service. Aside from the obvious monetary advantage, these accommodation packages free you from making these necessary arrangements yourself.
