What qualifications are required for an IT job in Dubai?

If you are looking for an IT job in Dubai you must be familiar with what is expected of you.  The exact qualifications you need for an IT job in Dubai will depend on the nature of the job you want to apply for.  You should certainly have some experience as otherwise you will be disappointed.  Employers are looking for people who already have some experience in the field, not for beginners.

You will come across some familiar company names as you begin your search for an IT job in Dubai.  For example KPMG and Oracle are just two of the companies you could work for.

Each separate job vacancy will have a list of the qualifications you need.  For example a recent job posting for IT support staff requested the applicants to have between three and five years worth of experience.  Qualifications required included a Bachelor’s Degree and banking experience.

Another example was for an IT director, who would need around ten years of experience and a Bachelor’s Degree.  You will also find that within the body of the job description specific qualifications may be listed, so do look out for these to ensure you have everything that is required of you.

But occasionally – as with the case of an IT job in Dubai for an IT technician –no experience or qualifications at all are asked for.  Presumably in this case they would be prepared to train the right candidate.
