PROJECTS planned� andunderway�in�the�Gulf�Co-operation�Council�(GCC)

countries�in�2015�are�valued�at$172�billion,� the� highest� yearlytotal�on�record�to�date,�accordingto�a�new�report�by�consultancyfirm�Deloitte.

Its� new� study� said� that� theGulf's� construction� market� willbe�another�key�indicator�of�eco-nomic�development�this�year�asthe�GCC�continues� to� invest� ininfrastructure� and� capital� proj-ects.

Out� of� the� total� $2.8� trillionprojects�which�are�in�executionand� pre-execution� phases,� 40per�cent�of�this�value�relates�toresidential,�leisure�and�hospitalitybuildings�and�mixed-use�devel-opments,�totalling�an�anticipatedbudget�value�of�$1.1�trillion.

“These� projects� are� mostsensitive� in� terms� of� balancingsupply� and�demand� in� each�of

the�GCC�countries,�with� timingof� delivery� balanced� alongsidea�sensible�return�on�investmentlikely� impacting� the� awards� ofthese�projects�specifically,”�saidDeloitte.

According�to�the�Deloitte�re-port,�key�drivers�for�diversificationinclude� job� creation� given� that50�per�cent�of�the�GCC�popula-tion� is� under� the� age� of� 25.� InSaudi�Arabia�alone�it�is�forecast

that�four�million�jobs�will�be�need-ed�in�the�next�five�years.

Deloitte�said,�GCC�populationgrowth�is�forecast�to�grow�from350� million� to� 602� million� by2050,�all�driving�the�GCC�coun-

tries'�strategies�to�provide�edu-cation,�healthcare,�infrastructureand� support� to� communities.This�growth�will� require�energyand� water� –� a� 34� per� cent� in-crease� in� electricity� generation

capacity�and�a�further�2.2�billionlitres� desalination� capacity� arerequired�by�2020.

“The�forecast�of�$172�billionworth�of�projects�are�against�abackdrop� of� lower� oil� prices,

continuing� political� unrest� andreduced�International�MonetaryFund� (IMF)� growth� forecastsacross�the�GCC,”�the�report�said.

“However,� the� GCC� coun-tries� have� the� benefit� of� re-serves,� which� they� have� builtup�as�a�buffer� and�which� theycan�continue�to�use�to�achieve

their�outlined�strategies.�There-fore,�they�are�expected�to�con-tinue�to�spend�on�infrastructureand�capital�projects�in�order�toachieve� their� strategies� for� di-versification�of�their�economies,”

the�report�added.Key�construction�projects� in

the�region,�according�to�Deloitte,include� the� $32-billion� Al� Mak-toum�International�Airport�expan-sion�and�the�$15-billion�Al�Mozaini-�Riyadh�East�Sub�Centre,�whilerail� projects� in� Qatar� are� alsobudgeted�at�$15�billion.

some�benefits:A�feeling�of�security�at�work;

Less�constant�need� to� impressin� order� to� keep� your� job;� and

opportunities� for� growth� withinyour�company.On� the� other� hand,� putting

job� security� first� has� its� down-sides:Losing�out� on�opportunities

if�they�don't�offer�the�same�ben-efits� as� your� current� position;Risk�of�stagnating�or�becomingbored� with� your� job;� and� Notdeveloping�up-to-date�and�trans-ferable�skills�that�you�may�needif�your�job�security�should�wane.

about� specialising� in� a� careerwhere� job� security� will� alwaysbe� relatively� high,� such� as� themedical� field,� engineering,� orsocial�work.Show� that� you� can� do� the

same�job�long-term�while�stayingfresh�–�take�leadership�respon-sibilities� in� your� team,� engagein� continuing� professional� de-velopment,� and� stay� dynamicwithin�your�current�role;�andDevelop�skills�and� interests

outside�of�work�–�that�way,�yourcurrent�employer�and�any�futureemployers�will�see�that�you're�a

multifaceted� person� who� hasmore� strings� to� their� bow� thanjob-based�longevity.For�some�people,�good�pay

and�the�possibility�of�continuingcareer� expansion� is� the� mostimportant�thing.Going� for� the� top� salaries

often�means:Plenty�of�disposable�income

to� enjoy� or� invest;� A� well-re-spected�job;�And�the�motivationto� look� for� higher-ranking� and

better-paid�jobs.But�this�list�wouldn't�be�com-

order� to� keep� a� job;� The� needto�strategise�for�possible�futurejob�loss;�and�changing�jobs�moreoften.If�the�size�of�the�pay�packet

is� your� first� priority,� there� aresome�things�you�can�do�to�helpyourself:Go� for� a� career� path� that

has�consistently�good�pay,�suchas�a�pharmacist,�marketing�man-ager,�or�CEO;Brush�up�on�the�people�skills

pay�well�are�also�those�that�offergood�security,�such�as�some�ofthe� medical� and� allied� profes-

sions;�if�you�can�seek�out�sucha� job,� you'll� find�you�can�enjoythe�best�of�both�worlds.Whatever�you�decide,�keep

in�mind�the�following�factors:

Challenging�work

Learning� and� growing� is� moreimportant� than� salary� in� yourfirst�few�jobs.�Look�for�a�positionthat� will� immediately� challengeyou� and� give� you� knowledgewithin�the�area�you’re�interestedin.

Future�growth�potential

Once� you’ve� found� a� positionthat� will� be� immediately� chal-lenging,�start�evaluating�whetherthere’s� room� for� future� growthand� internal� promotion� within

the�company.�If�not,�it’s�okay�tostill�accept�the�position.�But�re-member�to�start�looking�for�jobswith�a�new�company�once�youfeel�like�your�current�job�is�com-fortable�or�easy�to�handle.

Good�cultural�fit

You’re�going�to�have�to�be�herefor� eight� hour� each� day,� fivedays�per�week,�for�at�least�a�fullyear�most�likely.�Instead�of�askinghow� much� the� job� pays,� youshould� be� asking� whether� thecompany� culture� promotesgrowth�and�learning,�and�whetherit’s�a�place�you’ll�actually�enjoyspending� a� big� portion� of� yourdaily�life�at.

Industry/Niche

Does�the�industry�interest�you?If�you�want�to�be�an�accountant,you�might�want�to�take�an�entrylevel� accounting� position� thatpays�` 20,000�rather�than�a�jobon�an�oil�rig�that�pays�` 40,000.Why?�because�you�want�to�be-come�an�accountant,� not�workon�an�oil�rig�for�the�rest�of�yourlife.

Management

When� being� interviewed,� youshould� evaluate� your� potentialmanagers� and�bosses.�A� goodmanager�recognises�that�it’s�theirjob�to�help�you�grow�and�learn.They�take�pride�in�growing�theirstaff� and� will� literally� go� out� oftheir� way� to� find�ways� to� chal-lenge�you.�During�the�interview,ask�questions�to�gauge�whetherthis� type� of� management� styleis�valued�in�the�company�you’reinterviewing�for.

What�counts�more:salary�or�growth? High�salary�maybe

tempting.�But�doyou�want�tostagnate�in�a�jobthat’s�paying�well,but�offers�nogrowthopportunity?
