‘Marhaba’ to Saudi Arabia!

Quick Glance at the Saudi Culture and Economy:

• Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Middle East and the 18th largest economy in the world mainly dependent upon oil production and export.
• It is a Muslim majority country harbouring the key worshipping sites of the Muslims.

What chance do you hold to get a job?

Saudi Arabia, rather than depending heavily on oil production and export, from the 1970s, started privatization of various significant services like ‘water supply’, ‘telecommunications’, ‘healthcare’ and ‘education’ creating great opportunities for foreigners to grasp the key posts.

Such is the availability of jobs for the skilled that, Saudi Arabia had to introduce the ‘Saudization’ scheme to hire Saudi nationals.
But-
you need not worry about a thing because the private sector still is hugely run smoothly by foreigners.

How to stand out from others?

You may not even fathom in your thoughts that hundreds of ‘Curriculum Vitae’ aka ‘CVs’ fill up the emails of the companies.

So what would really make you, make a difference?

Well this ‘CV’ builder online is here to make you sit back and relax!

Points to Remember:

• Do a thorough research about the company you are applying to. What skills do they need and what you are able to offer them to make you the best choice.

• Try to obtain an idea about the language followed. Most of the companies want the job applicants to be fluent in English but a little knowledge about the basic words of the ‘Arabic’ language would make you glitter amongst the rest.

• Since ‘curriculum vitae’ is one lengthy document, it’s better to attach a ‘cover letter’ to make it easier for the company to just read your highlighted skills. For the truth to be spoken; one only goes through the details of the applicant only if he appears as the perfect missing piece of the puzzle!

Note: Cover letter just highlights your skills needed for the job in one to two paragraphs.
