Dubai: If you have always wanted to work in a public sector job in the UAE, it is helpful to know that government departments in the UAE regularly advertise job openings.
Earlier this month, the UAE Cabinet, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, approved a system of rewards and incentives for federal government employees. The aim of the system is to provide mechanisms that enable federal entities to motivate their teams and employees, recognising their valuable contributions and achievements, and to retain government talents and competencies.
As a federal government sector employee, you would be eligible for rewards and incentives, based on your annual performance, achievements at the entity and contribution to any national achievement.
However, even local government departments within each emirate regularly promote jobs that are opening.
Here are some of the online portals you can use to get your dream job.
