Saudis take to mobile repairing in Riyadh

Expatriates have for many years been the ones running mobile phone repair shops in Saudi Arabia, but now in Riyadh one can find Saudis managing many shops and reaping a portion of the business’s massive profits.

These service shops do not include extensive repairs, but services like helping customers with installing programs, opening accounts online — such as Google, iTunes and others — as well as upgrading mobile phone’s software, transferring mobile data (contacts, multimedia messages and other files) and downloading and installing games.

According to them, they earn an average SR 7,000 per month or more. These young Saudis do not have qualifications, but have acquired their skills by experience.

There is a strong demand for smartphone applications and maintenance. Most customers request services related to smartphone applications, especially chat and music apps.

“Workers in this field have to be honest and have integrity to preserve costumer’s information and privacy,” said Ali Al-Kuraidis, who owns and works in one of the shops. “Currently expatriates constitute 70 percent of those working in the field.”

Sami Al-Ashqar, an 18-year-old who works in one of the shops, said he entered the field because of his childhood passion for technology, as well as the field’s profitability.

“Since I was 16, I have supported myself completely without my father’s support,” he said. When he started out, he worked in a mobile shop making SR 1,500 a month.

Samsung Attack on iPhone 5 and Reply from Apple Fans

Recently in a Print Advertisment Samsung targeted Apple's iPhone 5 Features and compared it with there best player Galaxy S3. The advertisement was published in a USA's newspapers few days ago. The purpose of this ad was probabally to show weak points of iPhone 5 and raise the powerful points of Galaxy S3. The ad says "It doesn't take a geniuos" and “The next big thing is already here.” Actually it was a bold move from samsung against apple to directly comparing their product with Samsung's product.

Contact Numbers of Recruiting Agencies in Jeddah

You might think that this post no way relates to the topic of my blog however this is post based on request of one of the friends. It might be a useful post for job seekers as well. This list is posted by Alwarbah International - Overseas Employment Promoters. Which is a Pakistan based recruiting agency helping people in Pakistan to find jobs in overseas. Most favorite countries for Pakistani people these days are Saudi Arabia, UAE, other Gulf countries, UK, Greece, Italy, Spain and USA.

However the list below is only recruiting companies in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. I didn't confirm the telephone numbers and rest of the contact details personally, because it will be a huge mess to call so many recruiting agencies when actually I am not seeking a job. If you try any of the contact details and you got a good service or bad service please comment in the comment box below, Upon your feedback I will update the post accordingly. Soon I will try to publish recruting agency numbers in other cities as well, like Riyadh, Dammam, Khobar, Makkah, Madina, Hail, Yanbu etc.
