Between Entry-Level and Leadership
The Qatari job market is shifting towards the direction of the Skilled Labor in 2025. Firms are putting large sums of money in automation, i.e., they are seeking employees capable of integrating physical and technical expertise. The importance of using the correct job titles in your CV is to pass the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)

2025 Labor Law: Comprehending Your Rights
The labor reforms in Qatar are the most developed in the GCC. There are a number of digital-first policies that you should be aware of, which the Ministry of Labour (MoL) introduced later in 2024 and 2025.
- National Minimum Wage: As of 2025, the QAR-1,000 becomes the minimum requirement. Moreover, where this is not given by the employer, you will be entitled to QAR 500 as housing and QAR 300 as food.
- WPS (Wage Protection System): Your wages should be transferred via an electronic payment system through a Qatari bank. The government can keep track of this system and send you all the riyals that are due on time.
- The “NOC” Transition: The formality of the No Objection Certificate does not exist anymore, but in order to change jobs officially using the MoL digital portal, you have to go through the official Transfer of Sponsorship process.
Heat Stress Safety: 2025 Priority
- Safety is paramount in Qatar. All warehouse work in non-air-conditioned and outdoor locations, when under the strict interpretation of Ministerial Decision No. 17 of 2021 (enforced in 2025), should cease at the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) of 32.1 o C or higher.
- Actionable Tip: In the event that you have set up at a work place in a warehouse, but it is a hot summer and climate is not controlled in the workspace, make sure that your employer supplies cool drinking water and a shade to rest. Third party reports may be done anonymously through the hotline of the Ministry of Labour.

The times when physical CVs were distributed are already over. In 2025, everything is digital.
