Dear Expats

Kindly can you inform, Does a career Gap matters in Saudi Job Market ( like in South Asian markets it is really matters and HR reluctant to hire someone with some career Gap). Can you give me an idea of your experiences in Saudi Arabia. Does HR in Saudi Arabia are skeptical about career Gap or Gap in Ksa is not a problem at All.
