Job-seekers continued to throng the Qatar Career Fair 2010 being held at the Doha Exhibition Centre on the second day yesterday, as company officials manning the pavilions called for a more “streamlined process to eliminate unqualified candidates”.
RasGas business support manager Abdullah Mohamed al-Mahmoud told Gulf Times that the company was looking to recruit mainly locals for engineering and administrative jobs.
He said that most of the locals who had submitted CVs were high school and college graduates seeking jobs and scholarships.
“However, we are looking for people with higher qualifications”, he stated, adding: “They will be subject to training and development of their skills”.
Meanwhile, the RasGas human resources department has started to interview applicants, at their two-storey pavilion.
The official said that the company staff explain the work environment at RasGas and the different types of jobs available to visitors.
He said that 32% of the company’s workforce were Qataris, which was an accomplishment. “This is contradictory to the belief of many Qataris, who say that the chances of foreigners recruitment are higher.”
Al-Mahmoud observed that the company accepted CVs from non-Qataris only online.
Qatar Armed Forces’ human resources official Hassan Yusuf al-Mulla said that the forces pavilion had already received many applications, “most of them looking to enlist in the army”, he added.
He pointed out that the armed forces’ vacancies included post in the departments of administration, accounting, legal affairs, and engineering.
“We target Qatari nationals, however, foreigners with certain specialisations will be considered as well”, he stated.
General Retirement and Social Insurance Authority’s head of human resources and training Fatima al-Dosari said that 66 vacancies were available at the Authority.
She said that the Authority had accepted low skilled job-seekers, at the career fair last year.
“However, this year, we are accepting CVs from individuals with high qualifications”, she said.
Al-Dosari explained that many of the applicants were still in school.“I am telling such youths to finish school before trying to apply for jobs, and reject their CVs, but they are not very happy with it.”
The official observed that the Authority was granting scholarships only for those who wanted to study statistics here and abroad.
A spokesman for the Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology (ictQATAR) said the council was seeking talented and motivated individuals “who can help it achieve its mission of connecting people to the technologies that can enrich their lives” at the career fair
