Long time no see!

I've been working at Ueno company. How about you?

I've been good. I've been working at Ueno company. How about you?

1 This was added for better expression, 'how have you been doing' means 'how are you doing, or how are you?'
Well, I recently got back from a 2-year teaching stint in the Middle East. I'm taking a break, but I'll start looking for a job at some point. How is it working there?

I see. Ueno company is a good company. The Middle East? What country were you in?

Another expression: Which country did you stay in?
I worked at a primary school in Qatar. I had a great time there and learned lots of things. When did you start working there? I don't remember you talking about it before.

Oh! Qatar! I've never been there. Actually, I have been working there for 10 years. Since we haven't talked about our job, you didn't know that. Tell me more about Qatar.

自然な表現

Oh! Qatar! I've never been there. Actually, I have been working there for 10 years. Since we haven't talked about our jobs, you didn't know that. Tell me more about Qatar.

1 you should use plural form, your job and his job are two jobs
Qatar is a modern and vibrant city. It's very progressive. Just takes a little bit of getting used to the culture though. Back to you, you've been working there for 10 years. Wow! How has it been working there for such a long time?

Wow! Nice! I'd like to go to Qatar someday. My company allows me to have second jobs that's why I'm working here.

自然な表現

Wow! Nice! I'd like to go to Qatar someday. My company allows me to have a second job, so that's why I'm working here.

1 it should be singular, there is only one second job
2 you should use conjunction 'so' here, for this reason you are working there
