Hi,

I have been contacted for a job interview in last week of November (UK) by JATCO (Aramco contractor) and Aramco itself. I am currently awaiting further clarifications, assuming this is the case could someone let me know which option I should go? Shall I attend both interviews at different dates? Also what are pron and cons of this? Your help is much appreciated....

Contract companies do not have all the benefits Aramco has. Attending both interviews is up to you.

Thanks vpainter for your reply,

Of course I would love to work for Aramco directly but only if I get selected!!Is it possible to apply for roles in Aramco if you work in one of its contractors? how difficult is to find good accommodation in Saudi Arabia?

Thanks in Advance....

Once you work for another company in KSA, Aramco requires you to receive a NOC letter from that company, releasing you to work for Aramco. Companies do not have to give you the letter and some do not. If you cannot get one, then Aramco will not hire you.

Like anywhere, there are residential areas around in the local area. You would need to look them over to find out which ones have the amenities you may want.

What is different is that some of the residential areas require 6 months to a year of rent paid up front.
