Hello everyone, hope all is well.
I’m currently in a difficult situation, and I don’t even know how to describe how I feel about it. I’ve been dealing with some challenging circumstances. After graduating from high school, I wasn’t accepted into a strong university, so I ended up enrolling in a distance learning program. I graduated in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (it is accredited by the Ministry of Education).
Before graduating, I completed a 3-month co-op training program as a requirement in a government authority. After graduation, I did another internship at a government authority that lasted 6 months, but it didn’t lead to a job offer. I accepted that and started applying for jobs in general in this difficult job market (from 2023 until now). Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck.
Most of the offers I received were for call center roles, which I didn’t want for several reasons. For example, they are considered dead-end jobs here in Saudi Arabia, with low income, little job security, and strict shift-based schedules.
After being unemployed for a long time, I decided to accept the situation and took a customer service job with a large delivery app. I stayed there for 2 months and then left. After that, I joined a large tech company in a merchant care role, but now I’m thinking of leaving.
Since I graduated, I’ve always dreamed of becoming a consultant. However, given my qualifications and experience, I often feel like I’m not good enough. Do you think I would have a chance if I applied for consulting roles here in Saudi Arabia, even if i build a 1-2 year plan of achieving the goal?
