I am S.K.Kaifi ,a student of M.A. in English from Lalit Narayan Mithila University Darbhanga.
Please give me a piece of advice.

Saudi Arabia has become one of the most preferred job destination for Indians. The pay is good, no tax and other benefits in Saudi Arabia often lures not just Indians but people from all parts of Asia to apply for jobs in Saudi Arabia.

The first step is to create a professional resume of yourself and submit it to several websites like

Monster.com

Careerbuilder.com

Bayt.com

Aramaco

Clardendon Parker etc.

In several case, resume alone does not help. Having a good cover letter is also recommeded as it tends to increase your chances of getting a job.

You can also check for jobs available online in Saudi Arabia and instead of just waiting for a response by posting resume on the websites above, send the resume to your preferred jobs.

The first contact method would be a email in which your employer would request a phone interview. Now when giving interview be profession and do not try to showcase your Arabic skills etc. Try to keep the conversation as professional as possible. It also helps to have some understanding of the Arab culture.

It is also important to check the background of the company that is offering you the job. Do some research about the company, check if its private company or public sector firm. If it is a US company with a office in Saudi Arabia etc.

Now once you have been offered the job. Its time to get visa and complete some necessary paper work.

A basic requirement for Indians is to get their educational certificates and other documents attested by the Ministry of Human Resources as well External Affairs Ministry before the visa stamping. The candidate is required to be physical present at the time of paperwork.
