Does anybody have any tips on how to get a job with Bapco or Tatweer?

Dont worry keep trying but I can tell you one thing clearly its very difficult to get job in BAPCO specially after recent unrest within BAhrain....they have already fired many people after the unrest

Thanks erosisboy, I've been told that I 'might as well be looking into a field of thistles' as applying for a job with bapco.

I'll keep trying anyway, I have made some good contacts in Bahrain and hope that something will come of that;)

Hi Hag,

Well Bapco is sure a difficult company to get in... Particularly because a lot of Bahrainis would like to work there
So competition is tough for expat, especially if they expect a high salary !
As far as I know, the people fired by Bapco were employees not attending their duties for more than X days. During the events of February and March, some employees couldn't or wouldn't come to work wether because roads were blocked or because they were on strike. Most of the companies have been patient but some employees didn't come back or stayed on strike for too long and have been then terminated.
Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't hear anything about a reduction of their number of employees.

Good luck to Hag in his search !

Olivier

Thanks Olivier

I've seen an increase in the number of vacancies at Bapco and was hoping that I'd get in but I'm not put off:)  There are jobs in Bahrain, some of which I'm sure I'm qualified for and in other news, A company in Dammam have expressed an interest in me ao all is not lost:)
