Sultanate of Oman (Oman) is one of the six countries comprising the Gulf Corporation Council. It's probably the least heard country in the Middle East.
Oman just like the rest of the GCC countries have been blessed with huge surplus due to increase in Oil prices. The surplus has promoted development across all sectors. The GDP has registered double-digit growth figure in the past 8 years.
The impact on this growth has become visible in demand for qualified and skilled workers in key sectors such as oil and gas, tourism, health care, airlines, construction and financial services. As a result, pay scale has been rising and attractive packages are offered to skilled labors.
Oman has become a great destination for job seekers not only because of the economic parameters and no-so-expensive living but also because of its beauty which is reflected by its government effort to preserve its rich heritage, natural beauty, friendly people, security and laws preserving everybody's rights.
These factors have attracted more and more expats and job seekers to settle in Oman. Unfortunately, the country seems to be struggling with intense foreign labor of low quality. This is due to the inability of the private sector in Oman to source high-quality expatriates.
Having identified the problem, employers in Oman are now demanding highly skilled and experienced personnel. Once this objective is attained, there will be a wide scale change of the overall quality of labor as good ones usually follow each other.www.jobibex.com
