What do you want to teach?
As far as academic subjects are concerned, you are usually expected to have a PhD in the discipline, so a Master's in Linguistics - particularly if you have no teaching experience - might not be enough. If you're interested in teaching English, most employers look for MAs in Applied Linguistics or TESOL, preferably with some teaching experience. So again, an MA in Linguistics might not be enough to get you a job - at least not any job that would be worth having. |

There aren't many positions for librarians in Saudi unis, and those that exist are often filled by Saudi staff. It is not a very well-paying job. Also, as I've said, employers tend to look for people with relevant experience, so being straight out of college, you might not have that.

If you are selected, the university will initially apply for the work visa on your behalf and you will then have to go through a complex application procedure in your home country. The time it takes varies from a few weeks to several months, but if you're hoping to work in KSA in the coming academic year, you really need to start applying to employers now. |

Thousands of single women work in all sorts of jobs in KSA. Your qualificaions and experience are far more likely to be an issue than your nationality or single status. |

Not really
Pakistani and Muslimah whilst being unmarried makes it harder for her but not necessarily impossible .... you have to understand teh visa process from her side of the world too. Its not like the embassy proceedures in the UK
pakistan isa muslim country of some conserviutism, also in each country fro what i saw each saudi embassy operates differntly
London is pretty good
US a joke
adiss abbaba is terrible
Yemen a nightmare
so it also depends where you are comming from |

| I know plenty of single Muslim women from India, Pakistan, Malaysia, South Africa and several other countries who are working in KSA. I don't think it's a big deal. |
