Application methods

Acceptable methods of application will be stated in vacancy advertisements.

CVs for jobs in Saudi Arabia should follow conventional UK/European Union (EU) format (see applications, CVs and interviews for more information) with the exception of the personal information section, which should include details of marital status, number of children, nationality and religion.
