We really appreciate subscribers like you and we’ll definitely stay on the grind to continue to put our authentic interviews to help prepare people for their next adventure abroad or in your case, give you a little bit of nostalgia 😉 Have a great day in Santa Monica.

    I am a Saudi and i haven't been to my bank for more than 6 years every thing is in my Phone or disk top even Visa cards they deliver it by Saudi post .
    If you were in Saudi in 2020 during Covid 19 i think we were the top 10 countries around the world
    Try to use Absher and Absher individuals apps you will not say that at all
    I think if you still in Saudi Arabia by 2020 you will feel the changes

    • @ExpatsEverywhere
      @ExpatsEverywhere  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're welcome. That's a really difficult question to be honest. I would say that some jobs in universities with a PYD program would be considered basic as well as English language centers like Berlitz. We've know people to get jobs there with unrelated 4 year degrees. These are people that majored in music, business, or science that still found employment in Saudi in a basic teaching job. So maybe it's just a 4 year degree from a university. Hope that helps! Happy job hunting.

    but we still welcome the Canadian nationals and we bay them a good salary treat them the Arab way of treating a guest and we should do that even if the person doesn't deserve it our religion and cultures advice us to do that but some they still dont understand it like you
