After four rounds of highly competitive voting, Bayt users chose Khaled's story as the best success story. Bayt.com, the leading online recruitment site in the region, celebrated the success of all its job seekers through its innovative Bayt Works for ME! contest. The contest provided an opportunity for Bayt.com job seekers to share their success stories on Bayt.com, and, then vote for the best story online.
Selected from more than1,000 stories, Khaled's story brings to life Bayt's Lifestyle Engineering principle - how finding the right job through Bayt.com helped him start building his lifestyle of choice. His experience resonated strongly with the Bayt team and voters: "I couldn't believe my ears! A response that quick and for my dream job! What made things even better was that my wife was about to deliver our first baby boy. I felt it was God's gifts to us: a new baby and a new job."
On August12, Khaled received the $1,000.00 USD grand prize in Riyadh from Bayt.com's CEO, Rabea Ataya. The two other finalists who made it to the Final Round, Nasouh Nabulsi from Jordan, hired as a Senior Consultant by Executive Consultants, and Rania Younes from Canada/Lebanon hired by Memac Ogilvy as an Account Planner, were also awarded prizes from the Bayt.com team in Dubai. Khaled's story and those of the finalists are featured on Bayt.com: https://www.bayt.com/app/index?body=contest_final.
