With today’s technology, you have the advantage of searching for jobs and career opportunities beyond your personal connections and physical location. Bayt.com, the #1 Job Site in the Middle East, makes it possible to apply for hundreds of jobs in different companies, industries, and locations with a click of a button. In the past, costs and other logistics have limited everyone’s career options and connections. However, with online career resources, accessing an abundance of vacancies and career support tools is a very simple task. With the technology that Bayt.com spearheads in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), job seekers as well as employers have a significantly easier experience in locating each other, learning about each other, and collaborating professionally.
Here is how you can find and apply for thousands of jobs on Bayt.com:
1. Sign up for your free account
The first tool you need to access an array of career opportunities in the MENA is to have an account on Bayt.com. You will simply need to type in your name, email address, and create a password. Alternatively, you can choose to sign up using your Facebook or Google+ account.
2. Create or upload your CV
Once you have created a Bayt.com account, you will be directed to either create a CV using the Bayt.com CV builder, or directly upload your original CV file on the job seeker platform.
3. Complete your Profile
Make sure that you fill in all the required sections in your Bayt.com profile before you begin applying for jobs. It is important to have a rich and detailed profile in order to make your application as strong and relevant as possible. Most importantly, make sure that your contact information are available and correct.
4. Start your Job Search
Once your CV is complete and ready, you can start by conducting a simple job search using Bayt.com. You can choose to view all of the job postings in your location or you can see the breakdown by role, company, and location. If you have a specific company or position in mind, you are also able to type in the search box to find the most relevant jobs.
5. View the job description
Click on the job posting that you are interested in to read the complete job description, requirements, and responsibilities. Make sure that the job is relevant to your experience and qualifications. Applying for an irrelevant position means that the employer is more likely to overlook your application.
6. Click apply now

Your CV is already in the system but you may be required to complete a questionnaire, upload a cover letter, or provide another document. After doing so, you can go ahead and submit your application.
7. The next steps
Once you have sent in your application, you will receive an email confirmation. The employer will be able to directly contact you if they decide to move forward with your application. While waiting for the next steps, however, make sure to apply for more jobs and continue to strengthen your CV by updating and detailing your public profile, networking, asking questions, and engaging in discussions with experts in various locations and career fields on Specialties, catching up on the latest market trends and reading from a plethora of research reports and career support articles, and if needed, requesting customized help in writing CVs, Cover letters, and on-going career support.
