First of all, you should be aware that you need a visa to get into Dubai. If you come on visit visa, you need to have a return or forward journey ticket. Finding a good job in Dubai is not as easy as it sounds. If you have earned your right for the two-way ticket from your company, if you can, take encashment instead so you can use your ticket whichever sector you want to, say Dubai as you have planned.
If you do get a job in Dubai, I would say it would be better if you ask your work sponsor to convert your visit visa to working visa. Either they pay for the visa change charges plus the charges because you are in the country OR they would ask you to do a visa change which will involve traveling out of Dubai to any GCC country and coming back on the same flight to enter on a working visa. If you plan to travel to Philippines instead of GCC, then to get out of Pinas smoothly you would have to register as an OFW in POEA if not yet registered -- like if you went to Qatar on visit visa instead of employment visa. If you are already registered as an OFW, then you would have to renew your OWWA membership because it is only valid for 2 years. You will have to pay a little less more than 2000php.
Either way, if I were you, exit cleanly from Qatar by resigning so your current employer wouldn’t file an absconding case for you and you will be banned from entering Qatar. Who knows, one day you might need to go back to Qatar for something. Also, try applying online for jobs in Dubai. It is always better if the company sponsors for your entry visa to UAE.
You can email me if you need further details, maybe I can help you out. Good luck!

when is ur contract finishing/ or lets say when r u planning to visit dubai? start looking for a job atleast 2 months b4 arriving here. inform the employer that u'll b available by this date and schedule ur program accordingly. once u reach here u can fax / email ur resignation to the company in qatar. and could continue here.
other option is tht when u reach here than strt llooking for the job and visit offices/companies by urself,which i don't recommend this if u r coming just 4 a month coz then it might b dfclt to get the job of ur own choice. and once u accepted the offer and strt working on the employer's visa it not tht easy to change the job here.
to stay with ur gf........confirm with her is it possible to stay with her coz here mostly the persons are staying in sharing, sometimes just a bed space coz of very high rents and less salry thus resulting in less saving. so check if u could stay with her or else wht's the other option u r left with.

Travel to Dubai at the end of your contract. Stay with your girlfriend, enjoy her company while you also look for a job. How about that.
