Discover our Job Booster workshops

Newcomers, and expatriate spouses, prepare your professional project and discover the tools and tips to find a job

The CCIFQ offers various workshops to help you pilot your job search in Qatar and to prepare you for your future interviews with recruiters.

Our workshops are true working moments around one or more themes.
The particularity of these events is the educational aim allowed by the realization of works and reflection of groups.

Boost’Emploi workshops have become a regular event of CCI France Qatar, organized twice a year to support expatriate spouses in their professional journey.

Led by the CCI France Qatar team and Sandra Suchet Da Silva, an independent HR specialist, they provide a structured and hands-on approach to help participants relaunch their careers in Qatar.

The program includes 5 workshops:

• Decoding the Qatari job market
• Building impactful CVs and cover letters
• Activating your physical and digital networks
• Employment contracts and salary negotiations
• Preparing and delivering your pitch

This program is free of charge and takes place twice a year in small groups of ideally 12 participants. Priority is given to expatriate spouses of CCIFQ member companies.

While the workshops are conducted in French, it is possible to arrange individual meetings for further discussions if needed.

Testimonial of Maryline, participant in the Boost'emploi workshops:

"I wanted to work in Qatar when I arrived, but I had no knowledge of the market, of the customs and habits related to CVs, interviews, contracts, etc. The CCI was able to guide me, to meet my expectations thanks to the rich and varied workshops, and above all, to help me find a job! A big thank you to you, these workshops are worth their weight in gold, we meet other people looking for work and that ReBoost'! "

Testimonial of Magali, participant in the Boost'emploi workshops:

"During a period of doubt I discovered the workshops run and organized by the CCI. These Boost' Emploi sessions were a very rich moment of exchange for me. It allowed me to meet people from different backgrounds with the same employment objective as me and in a similar situation. 
The participative format was very helpful, it allowed me to really combine theory and practice and to realize the mistakes I could have made consciously or not. Estelle's extensive feedback provided valuable tips with real explanations, examples, and a sympathetic ear. 
The different topics covered were nuggets to discover and understand a little more about the job market in Doha. Six months after my arrival in Qatar, I got a job thanks to these workshops. Special thanks to the French Business Council who made the link between the company and me and thanks to whom I am currently employed. My main words: don't hesitate to go and meet the French in Doha, to participate in this type of scheme.

Testimonial from Imane, participant in the "Boost your CV in English" workshop:

"I took great pleasure in participating in the Online Workshop yesterday morning. The presentation was very well animated. The coach was very good at presenting the key elements to boost a CV in the Qatari job market. She simply did. so that I understand exactly what a recruiter is looking for in an application, no more and no less. Personally, I think that this type of workshop is very good because it allows the job seeker (like me) to stay focused and efficient in his steps while keeping his motivation and morale intact. "

Testimonial from Marine, participant in the Boost'emploi workshop:

"I arrived in Qatar willing to work but knowing absolutely nothing about the region, the rules, the unspoken ...

The coach opened my eyes to many points such as personal information on the CV, interview negotiation elements ... These workshops also allowed me to stay motivated, especially in this period of covid, confinement and prohibited encounters.The exchanges between the different people in the group are also a huge support, it is important to feel less alone.

thank-you ! "

Testimonial from Khider, participant in the Boost'emploi workshop:

"The Boost'Emploi workshops are a great help as the coach provides essential information on finding a job in Qatar.
This is also combined with coaching and advice on how to approach interviews and networking while taking into account the local context.
 
This is very motivating and keeps us focused on finding a job during times when we naturally go through phases of doubt.
 
For me, I was able to find a job 4 months after my arrival. This was partly due to the quality of the Boost'Emploi workshops.
 
Many thanks to  CCIFQ"
