Spotlight on Oman

Oman has a population of around 3 million, of which approximately one-third are foreigners.

Despite this, there was a 16% rise in foreigners filling private sector jobs in 2012 while local unemployment rates have lingered at around 20%.

Alison's Choice:

When we asked one of our Recruitment Consultants, Alison Bayliss, for her choice of the opportunities on offer right now with ifamatch.com she immediately plumped for Business Development Coordinator - Shanghai.

Alison explains…

“I enjoy recruiting for this role - it offers young, ambitious sales professionals an opportunity to work for a highly professional company: actually, the largest international IFA organisation in China. And for those who seize the opportunity, what an adventure lies ahead!

Shanghai is the biggest and most stylish City in China, attracting visitors from around the world. It has been called the Paris of the East and China’s New York. It offers stylish restaurants, quality cuisine and a colourful nightlife. Nightclubs and bars are always booming, with a choice of live rock and jazz. Their dance club scene attracts DJ’s from around the world. Shanghai has always had a healthy cultural scene with cinemas showing foreign and Chinese films, theatres featuring opera, dance, drama and acrobatics.

This is an opportunity for a sales professional to have the experience of a lifetime within an entirely new culture and lifestyle; to work in a job where you will be rewarded for your efforts; and with the potential to advance to “trainee IFA”. Opening a new door for the future! "
