Teaching Jobs in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is one of the most preferred destinations for professionals willing to relocate in the Middle East. The economy of Saudi Arabia is based on oil reserves and petroleum exports like rest of the Middle East countries. The government of Saudi Arabia is always concerned about its citizens and is always seen making efforts to make them comfortable. It is now trying to diversify the economy by focusing on other sectors like education, travel and tourism, healthcare, telecom, construction, banking, IT, Accounting, etc.


Three rules to recruit talent for your team

I read an article on Inc.com written by Jason Fried from the company 37signals, entitle "Never read another Resume". The article describes how to recruit the right people for your company. It inspired me to write this post about the three rules we follow (1) value personality over experience, (2) when hiring the best designers, look for sensitivity and big-egos, (3) make sure the people you hire for virtual office are active communicators.


Is Your Resume a Ticking Time Bomb?

When you slide that piece of paper across the desk to the interviewer, you are saying to them, ò€œI stand behind every word on this paper. I can backup any claim and provide examples to support every statement.ò€ If you arenò€™t ready or able to do this, then you either need a new resume or more interview practice.

I recommend that everyone have a 30-second statement to accompany each line on their resume. Be prepared to at least answer the question ò€œtell me a little more aboutÒ ò€ These responses should appear natural and off the cuff. You donò€™t need to memorize them verbatim. However, you should know what you are going to say and avoid stumbling over your words.

View the resume as your roadmap to guide the interview. The claims on your resume should all lead naturally and comfortable to expanded discussions about your experience. There should never be anything on there that you hope the interviewer doesnò€™t ask you about. A perfect example of this is listing a foreign language skillset. If you list, ò€œconversational in Frenchò€ you should be able to carry on a conversation in French. For all you know, your interviewer might be fluent in the language and begin the interview with ò€œdites-moi au sujet de vous-mÓªme.ò€

So, take another look at your resume. Play devilò€™s advocate with yourself and be honest about things that you should leave off. Getting called out on one overstatement in your resume is enough to totally discredit the whole thing. Best of luck.
