Question Pilot job situation in UAE/Dubai

Those who are familiar with the situation in aviation industry in UAE: are there any feasible job opportunities for American expats, besides Emirates?

The situation is, my husband is fancying moving to Dubai for better job prospects in a year or two. So now I have to concern myself with possibly finding a flying job there as well

Emirates would be great, but I don't meet their requirements yet, barely have enough to get an ATP. Flying for a part 121 carrier in the US there's a chance I'll get a type on CL-65 along with the ATP in a few months.

What would be best strategy to go about finding a pilot job overseas (UAE market specifically)? Any career forums that would be helpful to attend? Any particular networking strategies? What is the situation on the corporate side of the house (which probably would be the most viable option).
Being new to international pilot job hunting, I'd appreciate any advice.
