Hello There,
I'm a 24 yrs old guy from New Delhi(India), i have been offered a job with Bedoon essm, it is a fashion retail chain based in KSA...i accepted the offer in june and it has been 4 months but the job consultant(agent) says that the visa will still take atleast 2 weeks to arrive...and the reason he states is that the saudi gov has recently made the visa process very strict, which i have also heard about, but i'm suspicious as they are asking me to pay for the visa and one way ticket.
although the interview as conducted by the company's sourcing(Chinese)and HR(Indian),but i'm feeling that it can be a scam.
another thing is that in this day and age the company's website looks very basic, without any proper information about the company....i have tried my best to find about an ex-employee on google, facebook, linkedIn but couldn't find anyone.
So what do u guys think about this situation??? is it a scam or is this the normal?? also it would be great if anyone living in dammam can find out any information on "bedoon essm"??
thank u! will wait for your replies.
