Writing a Resume for a Gulf Job

If you have set your heart on a Gulf job, chances are that you are applying through all means. You are sending your resume to employment consultants, posting it on job websites and also directly applying to the companies in the Middle East. No matter which industry or sector or which level of job you are applying for in the Gulf, it is your resume that is your first introduction with the employer. So, it must be immaculately framed, market you well in front of the recruiter and prove your worth to the recruiter. Especially, for a Gulf job, where the recruiter would hardly have an idea of the company that you are working for in your own country, a detailed but lucid resume is required that will appropriately highlight your achievements, projects, and skills.
