New here!!!!
Place: Australia
My husband is looking for a good job in the field of IT somewhere in KSA.
He is very talented and has about 6 years of experience in Helpdesk, IT management and has also worked as a Systems Analyst but he doesn't have a degree yet. He's doing his bachelors in IT from an open university in Australia. He has a diploma in IT and he has done some network management courses. He can read, write, understand and speak Arabic to a considerable extent.
Can someone please advise how good are the chances of him getting a good job in the kingdom?

You are aware that this is a discussion board for English teachers?

While there are plenty of IT jobs in the Gulf, the majority of them are held by people from the sub-continent who are willing to work under less than ideal circumstances for less than ideal pay.

That said, he needs to finish that degree first, and since he speaks Arabic, he could certainly find a job. But, here is probably not the place to look for it.

Good Luck!!

The OP is probably aware of that, but since nobody has posted since Sunday it's better than nothing.

Maybe, maybe not. However presumably if they were 'aware of it', they wouldn't be posting here. If there's anything 'better', go ahead and post, Sheikh.

If your husband hold HNC/HND in IT or computer engineering, plus at least 5 years of experience, then he might have a chance to get a job in SA. But, it would be much better if your husband gets his BSc in IT.

Here are some job adverts for System Analysis and IT.

The board has apparently had technical problems. I couldn't get on at all one day, and it was down for awhile yesterday. But, I see branches with posts on Tuesday and Wednesday.
