Questions

What CV format do Saudi employers expect?

A clear one or two-page CV in English, often with nationality and Iqama status for expats. One column so ATS can read it.

Should I mention my Iqama status?

If you are already in the Kingdom, many employers want to know whether your Iqama is transferable; put it under «Additional information».

How long should my CV be?

One page for a graduate, two for a long career.

Should I add a photo?

Optional; leave it out unless the ad asks for one.

Is it free? Do I need to sign up?

It is free and there is no sign-up: fill in the fields and download. With a free account you can save a copy to your Layers and come back to it.
