Update! ...The agency informed me that Kahramaa is still considering my application and revised their offer as follows:
Basic - QR 5,500*
Housing:Family - QR 3,000
Single - QR 1,500
Transporation - QR 1,000
*They only add QR 500 in my basic.
I told them that I could not survive with this salary. I am asking for 15k-20k salary package.

uhmmm just wondering ... ...uhmmm just wondering ... does the agency your talking about supply workers in Kahramaa..cause base on what my friend told me Kahramaa hired people directly... and just in my opinion the salary they offered you is way to low... am just administration assistant with less than 5 year working experience i am having the same salary as they offered you. ask them again for more reasonable salary. base on your experience you deserve more

/-a-t-/abynel Thanks for .../-a-t-/abynel
Thanks for your comment. I don't know if the agency has something to do with the salary offer or Kahramaa just lowered their salary offer when it was transferred to Ministry. I hope somebody could enlighten me!

From Kahramaa ...Hi.. I'm from Kahramaa... recruited directly from the Philippines w/ no Gulf experience, just this January '09... I've read the thread, too bad for an experienced engr.. but well, in the 1st place why did u accept a jr. level position.. if u really think u deserve an engineering position why settle 4 a jr. one? I've got 18 yrs experience and I was hired as a Sr. level engr.. that's why I've got farrrrr betterrrr offerrrr.. try to negotiate for a sr. level position.. how can u bargain for a better pay if u only have a jr. post? do u think a clerical position no matter how experienced he is will be paid higher than a true-blue engr. with only 3 yrs. experience? think about it....PARE
goggybooboo said
well...... ...try to bargin on providing you a family accomodtion in addition to Medication and kids Education..if u could avail them
then i guess it might worth to start with your existed experience u will jump later to next in-house sr.vaccant post.
all the best

/-a-t-/desertranger Thanks .../-a-t-/desertranger
Thanks for your comment. Maybe I will try to negotiate for a Sr. level Position. May I know your agency and approximate compensation package?
I have brothers and sisters working there in Qatar and I'm planning to visit them next year. Is it possible to apply directly to Kahramaa?
desertranger said
EASTWEST ...Kahramaa HR deals only w/ EastWest in Makati, Phils... If you're here, you can apply only thru the website or thru the guards only by submitting your cv... Compensation is at par with the biggest companies here, but I heard they lowered it when the company was transferred to another Ministry... goodluck
