In this article, we'd be exploring all you need to know about getting a teaching job in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a Nigeria. UAE is n doubt, one of the most popular travel destinations for Nigerians. While a majority of people visit there for holidays, it has also been a great choice for individuals seeking employment. There are different options available for foreigners in the Dubai job market; marketing, hospitality, legal, telecom, procurement, finance, teaching and more. While the standard of living in Dubai is high, you're also sure of earning big there as the average salary is far better than what we get here in Nigeria.
Tips for getting a teaching job in Dubai as a foreigner
Before we go to the things you need to know about teaching in Dubai as a Nigeria, I'd want you to check out our previous post on to 7 easiest steps to getting a job in Dubai.• Education degree is a must: Unlike we see here in Nigeria, the UAE is very particular about your first degree when you want to apply for a teaching job. You'll have a higher advantage over other applicants if you have a degree in Education.
• Teaching experience is a plus: This is also another very important factor you should keep in mind when applying for a teaching job in the emirates. You need to have at least two years teaching experience in Nigeria. This isn't hard of course...it can be in any primary or secondary school around you, even the privately-owned ones.
• Attestation of your certificate: Attestation is a legal acknowledgement of the authenticity of a document and a verification that proper processes were followed. It is a procedure that confirms the validity of a seal and signature on your documents. You can attest your certificate in the Nigerian ministry of education, Nigerian foreign affairs or the UAE embassy.
• Your CV matters: I never fail to include this whenever I'm writing about career tips because of the importance. Your curriculum vitae (CV) is the first thing a recruiter sees about you when you apply for an opportunity.
• Network: You're not the only Nigerian interested in teaching in the emirates. You can join Facebook groups that will connect you with like minds. Also, you can make your enquiries on forums like Quora and Nairaland when you get confused about anything during the application process.
