Jobs opportunities in Kuwait

Post new topic

Sarahshayhani

Dear all,

I hope everyone is doing great!!

I am new here, and I have a few questions please.

I would appreciate it a lot if someone explains few things to me for people who lived/lives and works/worked in Kuwait or people who moved to Kuwait to work.

I would love to get a job in Kuwait, I have a wide range of experience in the customer service, hospitality and tourism industry. But I can learn, study and develop new skills in other job markets.

I was wondering if there are jobs offers for foreigners in Kuwait, and if so how does it work? Are the chances high to get a job there?

Are there any well known websites where I can find jobs to apply for?

Also I would love to hear from someone who has moved to Kuwait to work. The whole experience will enlighten and give me a broad overview about the whole idea.

Thank you very much.

Hello,
You can check website like bayt.com monstres, indeed, LinkedIn,  ...
or local application like open souq.
but an advice if you have a proposai less than  700 Kd/Month + accommodation + transport its not interresting compare to morroco.
the life in kuwait is rude ( weather, not a lot of fun exclude gym and shopping) and expensive.
Best regards.

Hi,
Just google jobs in Kuwait and you will get many websites where you can submit your CV but I doubt they can bring you unless if your profession is rare or if select company select you..

Best of good luck ðŸ‘

Thank u sir Bader Ru

But do u think I can get Kuwait visa when I don't have someone in Kuwait waiting to receive me?

Sarahshayhani

Thank you Mehdi for your reply and very useful information.

In fact,  what you told me is what exactly I have been doing couple of days ago, Looking for jobs online. I just don't know if getting jobs for foreigners is that common in Kuwait or not, especially in hosting or in the hospitality area which I'm more experienced at.

if you are not in kuwait now ; then you have either to search for jobs online , OR  , if you have family member or friend in kuwit , they can search for you a job, and give your CV directly to the HR

Hi Sarah. Based on my experience in Kuwait let me try to give u some insight on how the job market works in Kuwait. If you are out of Kuwait getting a job is extremely difficult. The reason is  most companies in Kuwait unlike other gulf countries hire employees locally.  Movement and change of jobs is the easiest in Kuwait compared to other gulf countries. Most people who would like to work in Kuwait buy a work visa it is very costly approx $ 6000. After the visa is done they come to kuwait give interviews and get a job as the visa is transferable. The other option is to come on a visit visa search for job and if u r selected the company may provide you with a work visa ( this is a difficult option though not impossible )

Females are free to work across all positions in Kuwait and hospitality is one of the key industry in Kuwait. If you do have the right academics, personality, communication skills you can surely give it a try.  A basic front office job might pay unto approx $ 1000 plus accommodation.

Hope the information if fruitful and will help u to an extent. Cheers !!!
