The Biggest Energy Company in The World

Me, during our company event sponsored by our department.

If you have read my previous post, I have mentioned that I am currently connected with the biggest and the largest energy company in the world based in Saudi Arabia. I know you're curious about my company. Today - I'm going to reveal and share with you my company and the steps that I did, to be part of this one of kind company known as the most valuable company in the world.

Can you guess my company now? Yes you are right! I'm humbled to say that, I'm working with Saudi Aramco, the biggest oil and gas company in the world. Saudi Aramco was founded almost a century ago by the Americans. Today Saudi Aramco continues its legacy of being the number energy company in the world.

Saudi Aramco workforce is composed of almost 100 different nationalities coming from the four corners of the globe. Our workforce is very diverse that we are seeing and meeting with various nationalities in the office. Mostly professionals who wish to work abroad aimed to be part of this renown company. I'm glad to share with you the steps to apply a job in Saudi Aramco. Below are the tips and guidelines: 

Educational Background

Aside from work experience, you need to satisfy the company's minimum educational attainment. If you are a professional or going to work in the administration (office job), you need to have at least a degree to be qualified. Currently I am working in the administration and I have completed a four years degree in Communication Management. Without my degree, I wouldn't be qualified in the company. Therefore, it is of paramount important to get a degree first.

What about the skilled-workers, do they need a degree? If you are a skilled-worker applicant, a degree is not necessary, but a good plus factor. However, skilled-worker applicants requires more technical certifications obtained, longer or more work experiences, preferably not just five (5) years, possessed technical knowledge and expertise of its field.

Work Experience

Your work experience is by-far the most significant qualification when applying for a job in Saudi Aramco. The company is always in need of competent professionals and skilled workers who have at least or preferably more than five (5) years continuous working experience.

The company is looking for professionals in the various field of engineering, Information Technology (I.T), Medical, administrative supports, office staff, Aviation, Maritime and skilled workers/maintenance. Once you have at least five (5) or more than work experience then you are qualified to apply. Plus factor if you have work experience in oil and gas companies, although it is not really necessary.

International Related Experience

When I say international experience, this relates to your work experiences before internationally. In my case, before getting a job in Saudi Aramco, I have already a prior work experience here in the Kingdom.

What about if you don't have international work experience? Don't worry, because international work experience is really not necessary this is only an add-on to your qualification, but not mandatory. I have colleagues in the office who don't have international experience prior joining Saudi Aramco. 

Professional & Technical Certifications

Another x-factor that the company is looking for is your professional and technical certifications. Certifications proving your expertise in a particular field is very important, like if you have diplomas, short courses, training and seminars from a reputable training centers, agencies, institutes and government related vocational schools. This will add-ons to your qualifications especially if you are applying for technical and requires highly skilled professionals.

Communication skill (English)

Saudi Aramco employs almost 100 different nationalities around the world, if you are applying for professional (degree holders) jobs. At least you should have a good English skill and able to write, speak and understand the universal language.

What about the skilled-worker applicants, are they required to have good English skill? if you are in this line of profession, a basic English is enough (able to speak and understand) because most of the time you are in the field and your job does not require prolific English skill.

However, certain professions require above average or intermediate English skill, like my line of job, since I am working in the administration (mainly in the office), my English skill is above average since it is required in my profession assisting management and executives.

Are You Ready to Apply?  

If you think you have what it takes to apply for Saudi Aramco and ready to join the biggest oil and gas company in the world, then you're most welcome. Who knows! we'll be working together here soon and enjoy the overflowing benefits and compensation package.

How to Travel to Armenia from Saudi Arabia as a Filipino

Thanks for visiting this blog, i have new webpage, pls click on this link. 

How I went to Armenia?

Among the most beautiful experience before getting old is traveling and exploring new countries around the world. Being a migrant worker here in the Middle East gives me so much opportunity to travel nearby countries.

Recently, I have visited Armenia from Saudi Arabia, to tell you. I'm not really familiar of this country at all. As it isn't very popular tourist destination, until recently, that I have seen YouTube videos of Filipinos traveling to Armenia.

I was curious by then and wanted to go on my own as well. Last June 2018 during "Eid" occasion, I have more than a week holidays. Instead of staying at home and doing nothing, I have decided to book a ticket going to Armenia.

I was very excited since this is my second country to visit after United Arab Emirates. Armenia is a country located in the border line between Europe and Asia (Eurasia), thus it's like the window to Europe. I got a ticket from budget airline based in Dubai since there is no direct flight from Saudi to Armenia.

Filipinos can visit Armenia by visa-on-arrival

The Yerevan Cascade, the City's iconic landmark. 

Depending on your nationalities you can visit Armenia through e-visa or visa on-arrival, being a Filipino I got the visa on-arrival. This minimize the hustle and lengthy procedures of getting tourist visa from the consulate.

It was afternoon when I arrived in Armenia from my flight Saudi-Dubai-Yerevan (capital city.) The flight is around 3 hours more or less, since I went on June, the weather in Armenia was perfect according to my preference. Playing around 20 to 30 degrees Celsius maximum during the day, suitable for excursion.

I stayed in the center of Yerevan City, the Republic Square, to avoid getting taxis whenever I need to go outside and explore the city. My hotel is very close to the hot-spots of Yerevan and everything I need is walking distance. Armenia is a small but beautiful country.

Everywhere you look around you can see green grassy mountain ranges, scenic terrains, fresh rivers and tranquil lakes. Armenia share Western and Asian cultures since it is along the border line between these two continents. Armenians are very kind and helpful, although its hard to find someone speaking English well.

Nevertheless they would try their best to assist and help you along the way, Yerevan is the capital city of Armenia. The city tells itself its thousands of years of history and tradition, ancient buildings and old edifice are still being used and preserved. Armenia is a country known as the first state adopted Christianity as its official religion.

No wonder why there are many medieval monasteries scattered all around Armenia dated hundreds if not thousands of years old. These magnificent monasteries became the most visited tourist attractions in Armenia. My trip will not be completed without visiting these historical landmarks.

Site seeing at Khor Virap Monastery

First stop, I went to Khor Virap, an Armenian monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the closed border with Turkey, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Artashat, Ararat Province, within the territory of ancient Artaxata.

The Khor Virap Monastery, among the most visited site in Armenia.

Seeing it personally brought me to the window of the history of Armenia and its rich religious culture. Inside the monastery there were devoted people praying and religious relics of Jesus Christ are displayed. 

The Khor Virap monastery is facing towards the majestic Ararat Mountain deemed as the resting place of Noah's Arch. Mount Ararat is considered as sacred by the Armenians and it's depicted in the country's national emblem. 

The view from the monastery is breath-taking, seeing the vast vegetation on the ground and the mountain ranges from afar makes me felt so relax.The night after my excursion, I head-off to the Republic Square to witness the dancing fountain. People from different ages gathered around the fountain and enjoyed the live show.

Exploring Lake Sevan, the most scenic place in Armenia

At Lake Sevan, the most scenic view in Armenia.

The following day, I decided to visit Lake Sevan, the largest lake in Armenia. The view from Lake Sevan, was by-far the most beautiful scenery that I have ever seen so far in Armenia. Standing atop in the peninsula felt so refreshing, I have never felt such surreal feeling, being a working professional, I'm most often stressed at work.

But my visit to Lake Sevan, truly helped me reset my mind and forgot all the stressors at work. I have spent a couple of hours in Lake Sevan trying to emerge into its tranquilizing beauty before heading back to the city.


Armenians' kindness and hospitality

The Republic Square of Yerevan, the City's main center.

Earlier on this blog I have mentioned that Armenians are very kind people, while we were having a city tour. We'd happened to meet a middle-aged man, he's name is David, he's originally from Armenia, but had an Australian nationality (immigrated) and now returning back to his homeland.

During and after the World War 1, the Ottoman government carried-out what would become the Armenian genocide. Killing roughly around 1.5 millions of Armenian people accordingly. The genocide resulted into the diaspora of million if not millions of Armenians around the world.

And Mr. David and his family are among of them, despite of being away from his homeland for so long, he'd never missed to return to his motherland. While I was chatting with Mr. David, I can see how happy he was being home again, the smile on his face, the glitter on his eyes and his sincerity reflects the true wonder of Armenia. He'd also invited me to try Armenian local food and toured me around the city prior my last day in Yerevan.

Indeed, my visit to Armenia is among the most memorable experience trip that I ever had so far, seeing this beautiful country, knowing its history and having to meet with the locals are truly an amazing opportunity. The happiness and the therapeutic feeling that I had while in Armenia is something beyond compensable, just a perfect getaway that I need to refresh myself from the hustle and bustle at work.
