According to Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) Finding overseas foreign employment is relatively easier than finding employment locally.
Update: Find the updated version of this post here.
Foreign jobs are available in many categories to suit your qualification level: skilled workers, graduates and professionals .
The skilled manpower from Sri Lanka includes Engineers, Accountants, Architects, Doctors, Teachers, Lawyers, Bankers, Hotel / Restaurant personnel, Receptionists, Nurses, Paramedics, Computer Operators, Programmers and System Analysts. You can also find jobs in other categories such as Machine Operators, Factory Workers, Welders, Fitters, Motor Mechanics, Heavy-Duty Vehicle Drivers, Dockyard Workers, Telecommunication Technicians, Seamen, Labourers and Domestic Workers.
Though you can get an unskilled job in a middle eastern country, if you have a degree plus very specialized expertise then you can get a good job and earn huge salary, and getting a temporary employment visa is also easy for qualified professionals.
You can find jobs in Domestic, Manufacturing sector, Construction, Mechanical, Hotels, Hospitals, Banks, Transport Companies, IT Firms, Call Centers etc.
