Hi Ashlee,
Thanks for the New Year's wishes--same to you and your family 
Now, as for your dilemma, why would your boss harrass you about covering your face if you are South African? Are you really Saudi?
If you are an expat, who has her own sponsor, changing jobs isn't easy. You have to finish out your contract with your current sponsor, first, and get a 'letter of no objection' which means another employer here can hire you.
Then you generally have to go home and wait to get a visa for the new job before you can return.
As for an embassy job, those are few and far between and competition is fierce. Best of luck!

Hi Ashlee,
If your husband has sponsored you, then just QUIT that job and get a new one!! If it's not your visa, then it's just that easy
Look for a job in a school as a teacher's aid or something. They generally treat people well but don't pay too much. However, if you're not an 'overseas' hire, it seems like nobody pays much because they know your husband is the source of income, not you.
