What are no nonsense job searching methods to land a job in the Gulf Countries?

<p>You apply, apply again, apply one more time, and persevere in applying. Yet, the responses to applications ratio is zero. Having done what it takes to land a job, you conclude that what you are resorting to or pinning your hope on  is ineffectual. How can you land a job abroad or in the Gulf Countries using effective job searching methods?</p>

1- Search for PDFs on how to write your own CV efficiently.

2- Point out your key achievements on the1st page.

3- Don't do more than2 or3 pages for a CV.

4- Design a cover letter that interprets your journey during your career path ( remember you're not telling the same things written on the CV, but you're pointing out the final results ).

5- For each specific job that you're applying for, google the title of the CV for it (ex: Teleco executive CV, if you're going for a telecom executive officer position) and make your CV into one.

 

This should help in the process of searching and the landing chance more than other candidates.

I really don't know anymore, different agencies ask for other CV formats, more, less details. Have the computer decide if you are suitable or not. So anyone that has a no nonsense  solution, please tell me.

Getting Job through Job search  Methods is practically NIL.. as i have been trying for the  past 3 yrs  still not a single  call for interview or even a  call back recieved from any of the Companies in the GULF.

 

Iam having doubt whether there are no jobs avialable or if available its offered to people who go directly not through any of the JOB SEARCG  engines.. 

The fact is to land a job in GCC needs a vasta very rare candidates gets hired on merit and caiber.
