How can senior bankers enter pass strong network barriers in Banks in Qatar?

I have been in Qatar for the last one year. I am 56 years old with 30 years of experience in banking and finance, including two years as a foreign exchange spot market broker. I applied to banks’ career sites, but no response. I heard that you can get a job with “wasta" or right references. Any ideas how to go about it?

What is “Wasta”?

wasta is just a term used here in the middle east used to describe internal connections. Using “wasta” basically means that you are utilizing a internal connection to get a opportunity.
