Is there job oppurtunity in OMan for woman?

Well that's information you quoted is not true. There are number of expat ladies working here in different departments. If you have the right skills you can compete anyone male/female for the job. Wait till you land here and you will see it for yourself.

Eshwari!
I would suggest you to first settle down in Oman with your husband. Understand the country work atmosphere. Interact with other females with the same interests and then seek for a job.

Sales jobs are quite available here in Oman, however it depends on your luck and skills to how fast you secure a position out here.

Best o' luck!

Hello All,

Disheartening as it may be, fresh job opportunities for expatriate women in Oman are indeed a huge challenge these days. And it would only get tougher as days go by. The reason for this is to provide gainful employment opportunity to the locals, in what is commonly called ‘Omanisation', done in a very concerted manner by the government.

Organisations have been advised by the Ministry of Manpower not to appoint any more new expatriate women. Many candidates' employment visas have been turned down by the authorities for the same reason in the very recent past. A formal ban came into effect from January of this year. The period of the ban stated at that point was for 6 months. Whether that ban will be revoked or not is anybody's guess.

The authorities are clamping down seriously on limiting jobs for expatriates – both male and female – in whatever way possible so as to offer those jobs to the locals (whether they are qualified and experienced or not). This is the ground reality.
