Hi hope everyone's doing fine.

I need an advice on what to choose from the SOCPA profession list while registering on it.

Since I am a dependant who is currently looking for a job so I have got no profession on my iqama, so what option should I choose from the SOCPA profession list?

Lastly if for now I do choose a profession on SOCPA, will I be able to change the profession in SOCPA accordingly to the job I get in future?.

The profession you put on the SOCPA website is immaterial as far as your Iqama is concerned. Put whatever you want.
