Arabic speaker: our advice
Arabic is the official language of the UAE, and many jobs require or prefer candidates who speak it: customer-facing roles, government relations, legal and administrative positions, healthcare, education and communications. Bilingual Arabic and English profiles are sought after across both the public and private sectors.
Typical roles include customer service and contact centre agents, sales executives, receptionists, public relations officers who handle government transactions, HR and administrative staff, translators, Arabic content writers and teachers of Arabic and Islamic studies. Government entities, utilities, hospitals and companies serving local clients often expect fluent Arabic, both spoken and written.
State your level clearly on your CV, and specify whether you can write formal Arabic, translate documents or work in a regional dialect. Legal translation is a regulated activity, so check licensing requirements if you are targeting translator roles.
