How to Move to the Middle East for Gulf Jobs – Using Removal Companies
Whether you’re considering accounting jobs in Dubai, Qatar finance jobs or jobs in Saudi Arabia, you’re almost certainly looking at earning lucrative remuneration for your skills if you’re a well-qualified professional, manager or technician. But you’ll need to think through the mechanics of actually moving to your new country.
The task can be greatly eased with the use of a reputable removal company. Always get a quote from at least three; prices are based on four main considerations – the distance you’re travelling, the number of workers needed to do the job, the load size and the type of furniture/equipment you’re taking with you (a grand piano is going to rack up more cost than an occasional table). When you’re asking for quotes, supply an exact inventory of everything you intend to transport; the company will then know exactly what to quote for, and you’ll be able to prove they were carrying specific items in the event of an insurance claim. Put your inventory on a basic spreadsheet for ease of viewing (it’ll also help when it comes to unpacking at the other end).
It will also help if you measure up larger items so that the company has an accurate idea of the amount of space needed to transport them. And don’t forget to mention if your new accommodation has a flight of stairs – it’s always better to know in advance how much the fee will be rather than be stung on the day with additional costs. Generally speaking, smaller companies tend to be cheaper (check that they have industry accreditation, though) but they’ll offer fewer services. Bigger companies not only supply packing crates, but frequently offer to unload and unpack at the other end, too. Finally, insure the load if you’re taking valuable items, which you almost certainly will be.
