o,
I am new to the forum. Thank you for reading my post.
I recently applied for a position with Saudi Aramco's King Abdulaziz Center for Knowledge and Culture. I am very well qualified for the position. In my cover letter I included information that my husband, daughter, and I are excited by the prospect of living in one of the family friendly Aramco camps in Saudi Arabia. I included this information in the interest of transparency; I will not accept a job that requires I live separately from my family.
I have noticed some postings on this forum that mention foreign women hired by Saudi Aramco are not given permission to bring their families into the country to live with them.
1 - Is it true that the Saudi government will not give family status to the husband or children of a very qualified female candidate?
2 - If you are not selected to interview, do you ever hear from Saudi Aramco?
3 - In your opinion, does my transparent status as a woman with a family make it less likely for Saudi Aramco to interview me?
Thank you for your answers to my questions! I have been very excited about this job opportunity for many weeks; today I am feeling quite deflated as it seems it could be a hopeless endeavor for a woman with a family to apply for work in Saudi Arabia.
