Hello there,

I want to share one case with you guys, may you already experienced this and have any comments.

I got a job offer in KSA on April 11th, I accepted right away. Until now, I haven’t heard from the company anything. On April 15th, I messaged the company on WhatsApp (we communicate with e-mails and WhatsApp) asking if they received my job offer acceptance e-mail and when can I expect to get a contract? I noticed that they saw my message, because he was online, but no response. Usually he responds right away.

The problem is that if they changed their minds, I have another opportunities in my home country and I can’t just drop them..

Anyone experienced the same problems?
By the way, I know the Ramadan just started, but to send a job contract is not that hard and long process...

My opinion Ramadan has nothing to do with that, either they didn’t prepare your papers yet or may be they had a delay in something. It depends on the company you’re dealing with, it’s system and reputation, but generally these days some places have some delay in recruiting if they’re affected economically by corona . In any situation they should update you specially they sent you the offer already, try to contact them and be firm about specific answers as you mentioned you have your own responsibilities and plans, you should be informed.

I have a question…

I’m leaving my current company , they are not renewing my contract .

I received a offer letter from another company, if I sign this offer letter can cancel in the future if I receive a better offer from another place?
