Eid Is Over—Now What? How to Get Back on Track with Your Job Hunt

Rebuild your momentum after the break

The Eid holiday brings much-needed rest and time with family, but now that it’s over, it’s time to reset your professional goals. If you paused your job search during Ramadan and Eid, you’re not alone. The good news is: many companies across the MENA region ramp up hiring post-Eid. Your next opportunity could be just a few clicks away—if you act now.

Why post-Eid is a prime time to apply

Many employers in the GCC resume active hiring once the holiday ends. Budgets are reopened, projects are reactivated, and teams begin preparing for Q3. Candidates who apply early stand out because recruiters are reviewing fresh CVs to fill roles left open during the quiet period.

Step-by-step: how to get back on track

• Update your CV: Add any certifications, skills, or freelance work you completed recently.
• Refresh your Bayt.com profile: A recent login and updated details push your profile higher in search results.
• Turn on job alerts: Get notified about new roles in your field as soon as they’re posted.
• Write a compelling cover letter: Show motivation and explain why you’re the right fit—especially after a hiring pause.
• Start small if needed: Don’t hesitate to apply for temporary, freelance, or project-based roles to regain momentum.
