Profession Change

aamer184

Hello,

I have a BSC 3 year degree from India with Majors in Microbiology, Chemistry and Zoology. Apart from this i have 2 Masters degrees, My current profession is Computer programmer but now due to new rules i am facing issues. I applied to SCE but they rejected saying it does not match and asked me to change my profession. My concern is that what profession i can select or change to.

Please advise asap.
Regards,
Mohammed

what majors do you have in masters. for computer programmer you need at least computer as one subject. These days changing profession is very tough. Also ask your HR Dept.

My current profession as per my iqama is Computer programmer.
My bachelors degree is pure science but i have a Masters in Computer applications. Having submitted all this i got a response that degree is not relevant enough for my profession, their criteria for evaluation is something which i am unable to comprehend. Now they want me to change my profession and i do not know which ones are suitable which is my main concern. If you can suggest something that will be great.
Thanks

@@amer184,

For computer programmer profession, they are accepting either Bachelors (Computer as  one of the subject) 3 years or diploma in Computers (1 or more Years) All must be attested. They are not accepting masters for now. But better take an appointment and visit them and Inshallah they will accept.

I spoke to them on their helpline. They are saying that i have to go to MOL to change my profession and that they cannot do anything in this regard.

This is the exact message - "Sorry, the certificate does not qualify for the membership required".

PROFESSION SHOULD DECIDED BY YOU WITH YOUR COMPANY ADVICE.IF YOU CHANGE SOME PROFESSION AND YOUR COMPANY NOT AGREE THEN PROBLEM.
YOU DID NOT MENTION IN WHAT SUBJECT YOU HAVE IN YOUR MASTER DEGREES.

Currently profession change is on HOLD, until you get msg from GOVT or you will be notified by your HR until then do not think about it, and once times comes your HR will give you options in which profession they can transfer your, because they have to see thier availability as well
