Dear Vishal,
Appreciate you for upcoming here to seek advice from experienced.
1. It's really hard to get an opening at overseas for HR & Admin staffs. The system in Middle East is entirely different from what we studied in books and practiced in India. The main area of HR & Admin duties are related to 'Immigration, Labor, Ministry of Health, Insurance, Visa, Labor card' etc... Only an experienced can handle this with the help of local staffs.
2. Official docs for the above said departments are in Arabic. If I dont know Arabic, I will be always the first one who will be removed from the department as soon as an experienced comes with Arabic knowledge. (Sounds pretty insecure, right?)
3. Average Salary of a fresh Admin staff in middle east is around 30,000/- INR. (AED: 2000-2500, KSA pays lesser: 1800-2300 SR, least is paid in Kuwait: KD 140-180) This is after 'recession'. After the recession, plenty of experienced candidates are available in job market; this really reduces the chances for freshers.
4. Never compare salary with Indian currency. The best package you may get in Dubai, the most expensive city in the region! 7 years before my monthly salary is my monthly expense this year!!
5. Find out the company back ground before taking any decision. Check whether they are listed anywhere in internet. If a company doesnt have a website, you can imagine the status of such companies in middle east. (If this company is in UAE, please send me the name... i will help you).
6. If the payment for visa process is asked by company representatives from UAE, NEVER join in that company. You will have to struggle for your salary later! Normally agencies eat a lot. Dont pay more than 35k INR.
Please feel free to contact me if you need further assistance.
