And in fact, whether working in the UAE? Ultimately, answering this question can only be man himself, is not my goal to make the choice for you. I want to talk about working conditions, and then you have decide for yourself.

Most Russian travel to the UAE to work in hotels. Salaries in the UAE hotels are relatively small and generally comparable to salaries for similar jobs in Russia, but there are some advantages that are not in Russia. First, in addition to the salary provided with free accommodation and food, which is not in Russia. And secondly, after all, and it lives in the resort, the opportunity to see the world. Third, there are prospects, of course, theoretically, there are prospects in Russia, but in the UAE, they say, so much more real.

So, how much pay at the hotel UAE? As already written, not so much. Salary depending on the hotel and the vacancy is usually from 1300 to 2200 dirhams per month. Dirham is the local currency of the UAE, at the time of writing this article, 1 USD was equal to 3.67 dirhams. Let's extend the question and consider it in the context of the most popular jobs:
1. Waiter - Salary 1300 - 1600 Dhs.
2. Bartender - Salary 1300 - 2000 Dhs.
3. Reception Desk - Salary 1600 - 2000 Dhs.
4. Guest rileyshn - Salary 1600 - 2200 Dhs.

Most advantageous position in financial terms is usually a waiter and bartender, as these positions are often a good tip.

What to pay extra?

1. Extra charge for service. What is it? Tourists bring a bill in it than the cost of services specified co-payment for service, such as plus five percent. As a result of months of the amount received by all employees to share hotel. Depending on the hotel and the position of co-payment usually ranges from 100 to 600 dirhams per month.
2. Tipping. No comments. At some positions more, some less.
3. Award "Best Employee of the Month", "best employee of the year", etc. In addition

pay employees receive free accommodation, meals, transportation to the place of work (not to spend money on transportation), medical care, free flights UAE work visa.

Apartments for living standard, usually by two people in the room. There is a split system, kitchen, bathroom, toilets, furniture. For example, you can see photos of their stay at the Westin on the following link: studentur/job/oae/photo_05/, which we sent Zimfira Zagrinova working in this hotel as a waitress.

On the prospects of working in the UAE

In my opinion, has the following perspectives:
1. Get a promotion at the hotel. Of course, this can not be guaranteed, but once again remind you that a career in the UAE is much more real than in Russia. Firstly, by virtue of the fact that employers bigger than most Russian, and it is natural that in large companies career make things easier. Secondly, most of the workers - foreigners, some process of finalizing the contract and go home or find another job in the UAE, respectively, are exempt places that might be claimed good workers.
2. After the end of the contract you can get another job in the UAE demand for labor is very much in demand everything from nurses to engineers. Depending on the vacancy and the employer can find a job with a salary of 1500 to 10000 USD. In this case, after your contract with the hotel over you can stay in the UAE up to 30 days in search of work.

Yes, I almost forgot, the contracts in the UAE for two years, ie This program is not suitable for those who want to go for a short time.

In conclusion, I want to write some reviews on the work in the UAE. About a month ago, I wrote to our customers, went to work in the UAE in September 2010 the following letter:

Hello,

We have a hotel only opens tomorrow, while living in a hotel, so it's hard to answer your questions. While nothing is clear itself even wonder where all this leads. One thing I can tell, we are respected, well treated and are trying to create conditions for us all. Their attitude toward us I even like it better than the U.S., but the salary is really that small. If this charge will come out well, then place SUPER!! Thank you that are interested and do not forget us!

I do not have direct contact with guests - hence no tip
early I lived in a studio, which I shared some time with a Russian roommate. At the moment I live in an apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, shared kitchen and living room - and I have 3 neighbors. But the area is much better, all close.
Fed in a cafeteria for staff: breakfast, lunch, tea and pastries in the afternoon, dinner and supper. None of the staff with the guests do not eat.

1. In the F & B is processed, but usually not more than three or four hours a week
. They must pay or provide additional output. In
front office processing - is the norm, so they usually once every two weeks is
two weekends.
2. In general, work suits, while no particular comments.
Only - do not advise you to go to UAE if you are accustomed to hard
new conditions and to new people. I note that here people work
more than 200 nationalities. For some it's an opportunity to find friends from
different countries and practice languages, and for someone to challenge.
3. I work at a restaurant buffet (buffet), it tips a little.
I received less than 100 dirhams, as a student, will continue to be a little more.
In the bars of the hotel and other restaurants tipping reach 3 thousand
dirhams.
4. Usually two or three people in the room. Shower, refrigerator, air conditioner.
There are common TV room (but you can buy the TV itself, it is not
expensive) gym. Living conditions depend on the position in
company.
5. With the tourists with no food. There are separate dining rooms for
staff. The food is quite good, all fresh and tasty. The only -
learn to distinguish the meals, to which we are accustomed to the Indian.

Well that's all for this brief excursion is over. If you have any questions for me, please write to Skype studentur or on our very interesting forum forum.studentur
