Travel Tips
Liza, do you mean you have an authenticated high school diploma but you have actually graduated with a degree? Fluency in English is not the only prerequisite in getting a job, keep that in mind. With an influx of jobhunters in Dubai, competition is tough. It is common to hear about expatriates on 2-3 visa runs because they cannot find a suitable job. Nonetheless, if you feel you are well-equipped to land a good job, then definitely you can.
As far as minimum education certificate required to get a working permit, your high school diploma is enough. Although if the companies follow the government labour laws/rules to the letter, then you can be employed in limited positions. Most companies however circumvent the rules; meaning (e.g.) you can be actually employed as supervisor, but your designation on your work permit/visa will be a little less. As for now, that is the least of your concerns.

Yes, unless you're a terrorist. You'll be OK
There are tons of jobs over here (in Dubai and Abu Dhabi), but most are related to construction. I have found that having a network is probably more important here than any other place I have worked - i.e., someone who is connected, who knows you and can hook you up with an employer. If you are on your own, I would say your chances of finding something are very slim. Please consider signing up with a "headhunter" firm. There are several very good ones over here and they will definitely find you a job if your qualifications match any positions they are aware of. It won't cost you anything and when they interview you, they will tell you what your chances for employment really are. Charterhouse is one; another is Beresford Blake Thomas.
