<br />Hi DxB Raf!
Finally got a job here in the UAE! Thank you for all your support and guidance....I am extremely thankful, keep up the good work. )
On another note, I would like to ask DxB Raf, as I have an ACCA Qualification (UK certificate) what is the process of getting it attested. I mean, like some people have told me is that you have to get it attested from Pakistan HEC>ForeignAffairs>UAE Embassy . ..but some have told me that an attestation from the Local UAE British Council is enough....Please advise....if you can send me your contact no. to my email id [email protected] can contact you, if you dont mind.

Amazing news. Really happy for you. Very big achievement and this is the platform from where your career will take off. Many Congrats to you.
Kindly do us all a favor and elborate on how you got the job. How you applied, what is your designation, job nature, size & industry of the company. Interviews that you attended and what good and bad you faced. How long it took and what is your opinion on overall job market here. Any other advices that you think is a MUST for every one to know.
Regarding the attestation process, ACCA certificate would not be attested. I think ACCA states in its policy that no one can attest its certificate. Niether do the UAE authorities accept professional certificates. They require attested academic degree. If you have a bcom or Bsc, you may get it attested but now since you are already here it is not possible. It may take 7-10 days or more. There are companies that gets all your Uni Degrees attested for a fee of around 200 AED. I faced similar situation and there is a simple solution for it.
Tell your company to apply for an employment visa in a category that does not require attested degree. My profession on visa is CLERK. This will give you 2 years before your next visa renewal, you can get your degrees attested and renew the visa in ACCOUNTANT or FINANCE category. The effect of having clerk visa is NIL. You will sign a labour contract that will have the same designation as on visa but the total package woule be whatever your actual total salary is. My labor contract says Clerk along with my full salary package while my company employment contract says the actual desgination. Its not a biggy.
You will find many high level designation low designation visas because everyone is too lazy to get it attested and there is a simple work around for it. It does not effect your stay in UAE in any possible way.
P.S send me your number on my email mentioned above. I'll get in touch with you.
