JEDDAH: Dar Al-Hekma held its seventh annual career fair earlier this week at Dar Al-Hekma Hall with a call on Saudi women to join the hospitality industry, one of the more rapidly growing sectors. Princess Nouf bint Faisal bin Turki inaugurated the fair with the participation of 35 national companies. The career fair is the latest in a series of job-placement events for Saudi women. The fair included several workshops discussing how to write CVs, required skills to succeed in the labor market and how to prepare for a job interview. All these sessions were supervised by trainers and experts in these fields. “Women have proven their abilities in more than one field. They have succeeded as both mothers and working women. This is why we are calling for encouraging women's role in the Saudi market, boost a working environment and facilitate procedures for all women,” said Dr. Suhair H. Al-Qurashi, dean of Dar Al-Hekma. “A long journey always starts with one step, so I advise youth to be optimistic, depend on God, consult experts, plan the steps and then start,” said Princess Nouf. “A wise person has the ability to know what to do and how to do it.” BM ShortURL: http://goo.gl/AP7L4 Tags: Hospitality, Job Fair, Saudi, Women Section: Business, Latest News, Saudi Arabia, Women
