Assistant roles in the Gulf include office assistants, administrative assistants, HR assistants, accounts assistants and executive assistants. Employers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait usually look for a diploma or degree, good communication skills, computer literacy (MS Office) and sometimes English or Arabic language skills.

Stand out by keeping your CV to two pages, listing the specific software and office tasks you can handle, and mentioning any Gulf experience. For related office roles, also see Manager Jobs and Accountant Jobs.

Assistant pay in the Gulf depends on the industry, your qualifications and experience, the size of the company, and the country of employment. Office and executive assistant roles in larger firms usually pay more than general assistant posts. Most Gulf employers provide benefits such as free or subsidized accommodation, food or food allowance, transport, annual paid leave with return flight tickets, medical insurance and end-of-service gratuity. Always read the offer letter carefully and confirm salary, benefits and contract terms before you sign.
