Helen Ziegler & Associates specializes in international recruitment:
* health care professionals to the Middle East
Why do people work in the Middle East? Some people go for the tax-free salary. Others go for the adventure. Some stay for years; a good number return repeatedly.
Day-to-day life is less hectic than in the West. You don’t have the daily aggravations: the long commute to work; the energy spent on maintaining your dwelling; the scramble to buy stuff you don’t need.
