Job Opportunities In Iraq And Afghanistan

Job opportunities in Iraq and/or in Afghanistan, are available and I have composed a useful list of companies for you.

It helps if you have military experience but some companies hire personnel without it.

UPDATE 2-17-2010:

I NOTICED THAT KBR IS HIRING FOR DRIVERS AND FOOD SERVICE WORKERS PLUS SOME JOBS IN CONSTRUCTION.

FLUOR HAS A LOT OF JOB OPENINGS AS WELL AS DYNCORP.

Update: 4-27-09

There have been some changes and now many positions overseas are requiring that you have a security clearance. Many companies will not hire you unless you have it.

But you cannot get it unless you have a job that requires it. So, you may get stuck in a rut and not able to get a job overseas because of this.

Perhaps one way to accomplish this is to join the National Guard or Reserves. If you have no prior service then the maximum age you can be is 42. If you have prior service, take your current age, subtract from it the number of years you were in. The new number is your age as far as the service is concerned.

I am 49. I spent eight years in. Forty-nine minus eight is forty-one. As far as the military is concerned, I am 41.

So these are some things to consider.

Many people are flocking to the Middle East in wartime to make big money to pay off bills and to save up for major purchases such as land, a large home, a boat, a trailer, or vacation property. Others just want a good savings account or the security of a retirement fund.

A lot of the jobs are by contract only. The contracts are usually for one year at a time. Some give you a monthly salary. Others pay you a base salary plus hazard duty pay because you are in a war zone. Many of the companies offer a contract completion bonus payable only after the year of service has been completed.

Computer jobs tend to be the highest paying jobs. Just remember that whether you go to Iraq or Afghanistan, not to mention Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates, you will be in the Middle East and not the United States of America, Canada, or Europe. This is a dangerous place with people who do not value human life the way we do.

Click on the name of the company below and you will go to that company's website. This way you can check each company out and apply with those companies you think will be good for you.

Job opportunities in Iraq and Afghanistan abound and most pay very well.

The following are some companies to look at for jobs. I try to keep the list updated, but the employment scene overseas is an ever-changing landscape.

Also, please keep in mind, I have no contacts with any hiring recruiter, so I cannot get you a job.

And bear in mind, that competition for these jobs has stiffened in the last few months as the economy tanks in the United States.

You will have to look hard and long and keep applying until the door opens. Having a good resume and cover letter can be helpful as well.

Job opportunities in Iraq continues with the following list:

06-15-09 UPDATE: I just received an email from Pelatron. They are looking for IT type people to work in Iraq. They do have more than just IT jobs though so check them out.

Strategic Global Staffing

Intecon LLC

ITT Industries Systems Division

Honeywell Technology Solutions, Inc

Lockheed Martin

DynCorp International

MTC Technologies

LEAR-SEIGLER SERVICES, INC

CACI

Stanley Associates, Inc

SMConsulting, Inc

All World Language Consultants,

Aviation Recruiting

R-4 Incorporated

Carter Consulting Service

IAP Worldwide Services

K.E. West Consulting

Aegis Defense Services

KMS Solutions, LLC

KBR (Halliburton)

Fluor

KBR had a large LogCap Contract. This contract has been split now and DynCorp and Fluor have it.

KBR did keep the TTM portion of it. This is the transportation side of the house. They continue to look for truck drivers.

I hope this list of job opportunities in Iraq has been helpful.

Good luck in your job search.
