🧭 Getting Started

1. Define your target: Pick your sector—tech, healthcare, engineering, etc.

2. Choose a portal: Use Bayt or GulfTalent for broader exposure, LinkedIn for professional networking, and Indeed for gig or flexible jobs.

3. Create strong profiles:

   • Highlight relevant skills, certifications, and (if applicable) Arabic proficiency.

4. Apply strategically: Use filters by location (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al‑Qassim/Buraidah), experience level, and sector.

5. Follow Saudization rules: Many roles are for Saudi nationals; expats may need extra qualifications or sponsorships.
