I am one of those who aspire to work for Saudi Aramco for many different reasons.
Bit confused as I have received a regret email from HR within few days of sending him my cv.
Just wondering how long should I wait to apply again or my doors to Saudi Aramco are shut for ever and I stop wasting my and recruiters time altogether.

You can re-apply as many times as you want. There is a limit on the number you can apply for at a time. Different departments have different needs.
People have gotten offers after being turned down previously.

mohamedabdulah, I had been applying to Aramco (occasionally, maybe 2 - 3 positions a year) since 2010 and never received an interview request until a position that directly matched my skill set opened. I applied and completely forgot about it, after a few months I received a call for an interview.
My recommendation would be to apply to positions into which you have strong experience in; have enough experience as they require (usually 5+ years). They called me for an interview (which was an experience in its own) and alhumdulillah received a reply that they are working on my offer.
My 2-cents - don't have a let down if you're not chosen for an interview, keep applying; keep living your life! If you don't pass the interview, keep applying. Your efforts will pay off when the time comes, insh.

vpainter thank you very much. another question please. At the confrences and exhibition where aramco has a stall too, does they have interviews on the sidelines as well. Are they sort of walkin type or more on appointment / offer. Cheers.

Maybe you need to review your CV. If there are any misspelled words or poor grammar, then maybe it's one reason they aren't passing your CV on. Try to find a few friends to review your CV for you.

this has nothing to do with mispelling. most likley your experience does not match what they are looking for, it happens all the time.

At conferences where they have an exhibit set up, job interviews are not necessarily done. Contacts are being made, questions answered.
The in person interviews occur at the job fairs that are set up for the intent of hiring people. These job fairs when they occur are listed in the two links below on most pages of this forum: jobsataramco.com. The U.S. site and the UK site. If there is a job fair scheduled it will be listed there. Some schedule appointments with pre-registration, others are for types of positions.

Well Vimto, that's rather categorically stated indeed! Also quite wrong.
I review resumes all the time. For every misspelled word or grammar mistake or poorly phrased sentence, it is that much more difficult for me to recommend a candidate for interview. In my opinion, if a candidate cannot take the time to make sure that his resume is perfect he will be unlikely to put the time and effort into a job at Aramco that I would expect. A resume is a professional reflection of yourself - it's not a text message to a friend.
So my recommendation is to write your resume as well as you can and then review it yourself carefully at least twice. If you have a friend whose English skills are better than your own, ask them to review it. Be careful of using too much outside help though. If your communication skills appear perfect in your resume, but not in your interview it will raise red flags.

Thank you everyone for valuable feedback.
I am wondering how likely is it that a same recruiter will review my CV when I re-apply?
Do you think calling the recruiter and trying to explain your CV would make him/her change mind ? I think CV should be a self explanatory thing but sometimes because recruiters are not from that specific background they tend to take things more generally, not all some :wink:

mohamedabdulah,
If you reapply for exactly the same job (requisition ID), there's a very good chance the same recruiter would review it. Different job, different chances (but often the same reviewer for similar jobs).
Calling the recruiter is unlikely to help - you'd basically be saying that he doesn't know what he's doing...

Thanks wutz. This might make my case even difficult. I am applying for a very specialized position and if same person is likely to see my CV then I probably stand a slim chance. :?:  |

As Wutz said, it can be the same recruiter, but the job could be with a different department and then your resume could be forwarded on to the department.
If you want to work here, just keep applying, keep your resume up to date with any changes occurring over the time.
