Professional Development
Countries in the region – in particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council countries of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman – are seeking to increasingly diversify their economies and to make existing industries such as oil production and refinement more competitive. This means there is buoyant demand from local companies and multinationals for professionals with relevant skills, experience and outlook. Though competition for roles can often be tough, with preference given to nationals and candidates already based locally, generous remuneration and benefits are available to the right people.
