Eid may feel like a break from work, but for job seekers, it’s the ideal time to get ahead. Most companies slow down hiring during the holiday—but once it ends, recruiters return with urgency. If you want to be noticed, now is the time to polish your CV and stand out in a competitive market.
After Eid, hiring across the GCC and MENA typically surges. Companies resume shortlisting candidates, scheduling interviews, and filling roles. Having your CV ready now means you’ll be among the first profiles recruiters see when they log back in to Bayt.com.
Your summary is the first thing employers read. Keep it short and targeted. Highlight your key skills, career goals, and what makes you a strong candidate. Use keywords related to the job roles you want so your CV appears in searches.
Go through your past roles and make sure your job titles, responsibilities, and achievements are up to date. Add any new tools, software, or certifications you’ve gained this year—especially if they align with in-demand roles in your industry.
Generic CVs get lost in the crowd. Adjust your CV based on the type of job you’re targeting. Emphasize the experience that matters most to those roles, and move older, irrelevant details further down.
Make your CV clean, readable, and free of errors. Use bullet points, consistent fonts, and proper spacing. A neat layout can make a big difference in how long a recruiter spends reviewing your profile.
Once your CV is polished, upload it to Bayt.com and make sure your profile is complete and visible to employers. Fill in the headline, summary, and skills sections—these help recruiters match you to the right opportunities.
Don’t wait until after the holiday to take action. By preparing your CV now, you’ll be ready to ride the wave of post-Eid hiring and land interviews faster.
