Overseas American Workers

by Cyrus90 on 2009/06/17


Overseas American civilian workers or Contractors as they are called have been making a nice living during wartime as well as peace time assignments for many years. Many contractors have retired comfortably because of low costs of living and extended Government Contracts.  These jobs have customarily gone to retired military personnel with overseas experience. Now with a struggling economy more civilian personnel that have maintained satisfactory security clearance are being recruited.  When submitting your CV make your past important with highlighted bullet points. Don’t make someone read a long paragraph about your experience, because they won’t. These companies are staffing overseas workers regularly. However, getting a direct line to the hiring managers is a challenge. If you don’t know someone currently employed in the company, getting past gate keepers becomes imperative. Don’t let the words “just apply on line be the end of it for you. When applying on line research the company so you know who to contact to get answers about your submissions. These are large companies with lateral and vertical movement available once you get your foot in the door.

If your coming from the west, or Europe you can pick-up a 30 day visit visa upon arrival. However, rents and hotels in Doha are not cheap. You would have to know someone on the ground.
