How to find jobs in middle east , without jobsites and without bribing an agent?

Most of the expats here get their friends who are already in Bahrain to find a job for them. If your friend does not have any friends in Bahrain, then he can start sending his CV's to companies in Bahrain through the net. He can also come to Bahrain as a tourist and look for a job but this can be costly. There are cheap 2 and 3 star hotels in Bahrain but the ticket can be expensive.
