Dear Amadou,
Here is some information that I received this morning that will boost your job search:
"
AB Think Tank votes 9-0 against job cuts in 2010
by Anil BhoyrulThis email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it on Thursday, 21 January 2010
The Arabian Business Think Tank (ABTT) has voted 9-0 against further job cuts in 2010 as the Gulf region looks to rebound from the impact of the global downturn, which saw thousands of employees laid off.
The ABTT panel – comprising experts from sectors including media, construction, finance, property – all said they would make “no further cuts” this year.
Two members of the panel went as far as to say they would actually begin hiring again in 2010, while other panelists also admitted they had “over cut” in 2009 to get rid of unwanted staff.

With kind regards,
Samer
Hi Amadou
The most important thing is your depth of experience in Building Works.
If you can build it you can plan it - particularly if you can work the software.
Good luck with P6 - you are going to need it.
Best regards
Mike Testro
Dear Amadou,
You can do the following as well:
1. Identify the location that you want to work at.
2. Check the papers for new projects. New projects need new staff.
3. Read the Trade Magazines. If you are in Construction, then read the Construction Magazine. The Contractors and consultants, and developers will have their web sites shown in these magazines. You can log in and search for posted vacancies. Or you can send then direct letters.
4. Word of Mouth. This is the best source for finding a job. If you are a recent graduate, ask your professors to inquire with their connections. You need to tap into the Senior Managers generation. These are the decision makers with the hire and fire authorities.
Good luck,
With kind regards,
Samer
Good for you. There are just so many ways to land a planning job. You can have an agent hunt a post for you. Tidy up your resume and cover letter, make sure you mention your strengths that are leading to planning job. In your cover letter,mention that you would like to start a job in planning, willing to be trained and show your enthusiasm. However, you’d probably start as junior planning engineer. Register to jobhunting sites like monster, totaljobs, naukri, etc. There are few jobs for plannign but who knows, there might be some companies willing to give some starters with enthusiasm like you.
good luck!
