JEDDAH: More than 1,000 women have applied for 20 vacancies in Saudi Arabian Airlines’ IT department in a single day when the company started receiving applications on Monday.
An official from the company expected a huge number of women to apply for the limited number of jobs until the application deadline on Aug. 24.
The call by Saudia to women to apply for the limited postings has been welcomed by young women jobseekers. “This is great news, and it will definitely create a competitive environment,” said 26-year-old Noha, an unemployed university student in Jeddah.
“In general, vacancies for women tend to be limited here, and I plan to apply as it is my field, and hopefully will get the job.”
