Hi Nahurnair, if you're living in Abu Dhabi under the sponsorship of your husband then it's unlikely that you'll be able to able to work in Abu Dhabi. The sponsorship allows you to live in the emirate, but not seek work. You'd have to try get the hiring company to sponsor the residence visa for you. I suggest having a look at our Visas for Abu Dhabi and Work Permits for Abu Dhabi pages for more on getting a visa and work permit requirements for Abu Dhabi.
