Mechanical Engineer Looking for a Job

Hello All,

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with 5 years of experience. I have been applying for jobs in Gulf countries for around 6 months now via online job portals but did not receive response from companies. I am particularly looking for jobs in Manama. Currently I am based in India. What is the best way to get an engineering job in Manama? With this experience how much monthly salary can I expect? What is the approx. cost of living there for a single female?

Thank You in advance !

Hi,

Bahrain is a very small country and we dont have many opening here for mech engineers since the industry base is very small. Most of recruitment's  happen via reference in gulf countries, having said that dont loose hope keep trying
