Hi,
My partner and I are moving to Kuwait together about mid August.
She is a teacher so already has a job set up for her and luckily for us accommodation will be provided for by her new school.
I am looking for a job in Kuwait at the moment but I'm struggling as I am aware Kuwaiti policy is to offer jobs to locals first (Which I think is a good policy).
I have a wealth of experience in the catering industry; bar, front of house and management.
Most of my working life has consisted of customer service roles so this is something I know well.
My current job is an office based admin/clerical job and I have just completed a Level 3 NVQ in Business admin.
I am aware these kinds of positions are likely to be filled by Kuwaiti nationals before me and was hoping someone may have suggestions or tips which could help me secure a job before I arrive in Kuwait, or help me find one when I am out there.
I am not particularly fussy about the type of job I would be doing in Kuwait as we will be there for about a year and would just like to be employed.
Thanks very much for any advice 
hello and welcome to Kuwait 
please read the following post
Kuwaitization is on the rise, but not in every sector - the way it works is for every X number of expats with X designation there has to be Y number of Kuwaitis with X+1 designation, you savvy?
so dont worry about Kuwaitization as a detriment to your job aspirations. you will apply to companies, if they like you, they will make you an offer, if not, keep applying.
