Accountant

Grand Prize Winner Rabia Aslam receiving her prize from Dany Farha COO, Bayt.com.
Rank: 1
Bayt.com really brings the employer and employee closer.
I would like to thank Bayt.com for making such an effort in helping people get better jobs. I would like to share my success story, I just finished my BBA from England and was waiting for my result in addition I was looking forward to work and gain experience so that I can continue my MBA. Before I posted my CV on Bayt.com I applied to banks but in vain, until my friend told me about Bayt.com, I read career articles on the site and used saved searches, I read how people got their dream jobs through Bayt.com, so I posted my CV and on other recruitment Websites, but none of them called me except Bayt.com. I was surprised the day I got a call from an employer through Bayt.com and got my result for my BBA it was a very lucky day for me! I just can't believe Bayt.com really brings the employer and employee closer. I got a job as a Junior Accountant which is a dream come true. After I got my job through Bayt.com my parents went for Hajj, I felt it was Allah's gift to my family.
Bayt.com has really made a difference in my life, now I can gain a good experience and go for my MBA too. I cannot find enough words to thank Bayt.com for impacting my career and life in a great way.
Bayt.com I thank you for paving the way to make me a successful and happy person.

I used all the tools on the site, CV Writing services, Saved Search, cover letters, career articles on Bayt.com.
I graduated from Al Yarmook University as a communication engineer with a very good average, I was so happy thinking that I will find what I worked hard for.
After one day from the graduation i started looking for a job starting from Bayt.com site since it was the most popular site in the university and all my graduated friends advised me to use the site.
I used all the tools on the site, CV Writing services, Saved Search, cover letters, career articles on Bayt.com, depending on my friends' advice.
After that I started to look for a job by delivering my CV to companies by hand, till I found a job as communication engineer in a company, I was very happy and excited until I found myself after a month working as an office boy making coffee for the manager and the secretary.
I pushed myself to endure this situation because I needed the job, during that time I kept searching on Bayt.com site because it was my only hope, by applying on the jobs that are sent to my email and by refreshing my CV on the site.
Then one day I received a call from a company telling me that they saw my CV on Bayt.com site and they are interested in me, we arranged an interview and I got the job with a double salary and many advantages, I was very glad to work as a communication engineer.
Now I am one of five engineers working with a well trained team to solve all the technical problems we face and all of this is because of Bayt.com support.

Rank: 3
Bayt.com provided me with a personalized list of "search results".... [T]his helped me big time not to miss a good opportunity, which I found one day and applied for.
Finding the right job has never been an easy task for me as an expatriate living in a Gulf country, where job seekers are much higher in numbers when compared to job offers. I was working in a place where my experience and knowledge were not utilized and there was no room for me to grow and improve.
Bayt.com provided me with a personalized list of "search results" which I checked daily together with a weekly email for the most recent job posts that match my search criteria, this helped me big time not to miss a good opportunity, which I found one day and applied for.
My resume ranked out extremely high because of the way and the style Bayt.com is representing it to the employer; and that was an excellent first impression the employer got; as a result I got a call for an interview then I was offered the job that I was really looking for, and now I am doing the kind of work that I love and I have a career path to follow, thanks to Bayt.com.
Bayt.com Choice Winners, Awarded Certificates of Honor
Tarek Eletrebi
Associate Creative Director
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Bayt.com Choice Winner Tarek Eletrebi receiving his Certificate of Honor from Rabea Ataya CEO, Bayt.com.
Then to the sweet sound of Sting's "Shape of My Heart" came the call.
I worked in the creative department of a multinational advertising agency and it had been one of those days at the office. Where your boss decides to put his foot down... on your hard work. God, I hated his ignorance.
I was sitting on the couch contemplating all the answers I didn't voice. My fiancé had just consoled me with a warm cup of camomile to soothe my nerves. She was one of the reasons I hadn't been able to voice how I truly feel about my boss. We had been engaged a year and if I had lost that job I would've had to postpone our marriage once again. That was unless I found another job.
My fiancé patted me on the shoulder and motioned to the computer. I had posted my CV on several recruitment sites in hope that something might materialize and she was getting me into the habit of checking my mail everyday. I had received a few phone calls from recruiters but it turned out they were just filling up their databases, so my daily routine was to sift through my mail and trash all the false hope. Login, select all and trash, that should make her happy.
Four emails down the drain, but neither one of us was happier. Then to the sweet sound of Sting's "Shape of My Heart" came the call.
"Hello."
"Yes, is this Mr. Eletrebi?"
"Speaking."
"This is the creative director at DDB. I saw your resume on Bayt.com and was wondering if you'd be interested in an opportunity with us."
The beautiful woman looking at me curiously as I smiled, I married seven months later. Guess what song played at our wedding?

It wouldn't have been possible without Bayt.com. You have made my dream come true!
I was working as a biomedical engineer for the last 9 years and had lost any hope of finding a better offer. Life was moving on, but I used to feel my career had stagnated and was not moving further up at all. The job was routine, old fashioned with piles of papers on my desk, which made me feel older! I had registered through Bayt.com quite a long time ago and had seen some offers. However nothing was suitable for me as such. There was no use changing jobs just for the sake of it. I was looking for something challenging and attractive.
Finally, it came! It was a Saturday morning (holiday) and I got a call from the employer. Initially I was not interested as I thought it was not suitable for me. But, thanks to my nature of good listening, I got slowly involved in it. I fixed an appointment blindly just to find out more about the job and the company and had no clue that I would end up taking the job. Later I did some homework through web and e-mails and was ready for my meeting. During our meeting which was quite professional, I could get lots of info and I realized that this is the new door which is opening out for me which may take me to new heights in my career.
The new job is totally professional, challenging with a wide range of responsibilities and has a free working environment where I get to make my own decisions. I joined them as early as possible after completing the formalities. Now that I have settled down in my new position, I am feeling on top of the world. I feel much younger, energetic and this job has no limits. I have an attractive package which has helped me in improve my family's lifestyle. It wouldn't have been possible without Bayt.com. You have made my dream come true! I have already recommended your site to all of my friends and who knows you may get many more success stories in the years to come! My best wishes will always be there with you.
Noha Mohamed AbdelSamie
Multimedia specialist
Saudi Arabia
I used the CV writing service to build a professional CV, and I started searching for a job. I could not believe myself as I got a great offer after one month of being in Jeddah!
I'm a married woman with two kids. As is with any girl, after marriage all my time was dedicated to my husband and babies, until I felt it was time to take care of my career. Its never too late for that, even if it was 4 years after marriage.
I started my intensive study in multimedia, designing and development. It was every day for 9 months. In the middle of my study, my husband told me that we had to move to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I felt very disappointed because I know that it is not easy for a woman to find work there as a multimedia designer.
I felt desperate, sad and disappointed. Then, my friend told me about bayt.com. I used the CV writing service to build a professional CV, and I started searching for a job. I could not believe myself as I got a great offer after one month of being in Jeddah! It was more than what I dreamed of! A great salary and a great scope for experience and knowledge.
Thank God, thank God, thank God and thanks to Bayt.com.
