Looking for the dream job

Seems I will break the chain of writing about my trip to Cairo to blog about a dangerous step I am thinking of taking in my life...
The situation at work is getting very bad... It first started when our salaries were late for the month of December, then January, and now February!
In addition to that... more and more employees are leaving, and our management are getting more and more strict for God knows what reason...
They are closing down downloads, MSN, increasing working hours, refusing to give us half day on Thursday (though other bigger agencies get that) ... You would think that with all the other shitt goin on, that they would try to win us over in order not to get us upset about the late salaries and expired medical insurance (I didn't mention the medical insurance did I?)
The bottom line is that its getting really bad and I have lost all will to work...

I started looking for other openings... I sent my CV to a new travel company which advertised in a local newspaper, and they called me yesterday for an interview next week...
Also my ex-manager at Zahid contacted me about an opening in a new airline company, and I am supposed to attend their training sessions the next 2 days...
I even sent my CV and applied online at companies such as Unilever and P&G...
Let's hope for the best...

I keep thinking that maybe if I managed to get the Saudi Nationality everything would be better, at least I can move as I please without thinking about the Labor Office and transfer of sponsorship and all that shitt the Saudi Government puts in our way as expatriates... Not to mention the idea of "Saudiazation" which I think is total Bull, if a person was an experienced and qualified good employee, he would sell himself and companies would hire him/her, no matter what nationality he/she carries... You don't have to FORCE a company to hire someone...
Anyway I will dedicate a full post to Saudiazation later on cause I have ALOT to say about it...

I ask Allah to help me make the best choice to help me in my career and life... I am tired of wrong decisions... So tired....

I wish the best for you dear, I know exactly what you mean when you expats and their outcomes, but what can we do!

My advise to you is to not loose hope, inshala alla will open the doors that you deserve, sometimes you need to experience the downfalls to bring the best in you..

take good care.
