Jobs4Bahrainis.com, a leading online employment and careers service, recently held its inaugural career seminar in Manama.

More than 75 Bahraini job seekers attended the seminar, the purpose of which was to provide information about the long-term career opportunities of four key business professions in Bahrain - hospitality, telecommunications, banking and finance and public relations and events.

Four prominent personalities from the kingdom’s business community, representing the four business areas, spoke at the seminar at The Domain Bahrain, offering career advice, in-depth information about their profession as a potential career option, and interview tips and guidance.

The experts included Patrick De Groot, managing director of the recently-opened The Domain Bahrain; Shaikh Bader al Khalifa, the head of human resources and union relations from Bahrain Telecommunications Company (Batelco); Mohammed Bushehri, assistant general manager and head of human capital at BMI Bank; and Ahmed Suleiman from Al Hilal Group, representing PR and events.

Hussain Ali, project manager at Jobs4Bahrainis.com, said: “Jobs4Bahrainis.com is delighted to have organised its first career seminar, and we are grateful for the time each speaker spent imparting their valuable knowledge and experience to the job seekers.”

“Providing a direct and very real link between job seekers and the business community and jobs market is an important part of what we do, and the feedback from the young Bahrainis who attended was overwhelmingly positive. We look forward to organising a second seminar featuring more respected members of the business community soon,” he added.
