you say your boyfriend should earn 15,000 dhms a month plus he gets accomodation? If so, it wouldn't be urgent for you to get a job right away - Just be sure the clinic is paying the full amount and not an allowance - the rents in Dubai are rising by the day and it's no better in the surrounding emirates.
Also, be sure to be married before joining your boyfriend - co-habitation, no matter that you both intend to get married soon, is a big no-no and can result in criminal charges (especially for the female as she's such a temptress that no man would be able to resist her feminine wiles).
As for jobs, perhaps Berlitz Language Schools would be interested in talking to someone who is a native Italian speaker?[/i] |

Carolina,
First off, this is a site for English teachers, so you will not find people who can give you much advice on finding employment in other fields. I suspect that you will have to go to an employment agency to find something that matches whatever skills you have... once you get there. We only know about teaching positions for people that have the proper academic credentials and experience.
But, I too would suggest strongly that you be married before you move to the Emirates to live. The authorities will often ignore the activities of Westerners, but because your fiancee is Arab, you will draw unwanted attention and could end up in jail.
