Being American, I know it is not allowed to post ads in my country that discriminate. But, this is Arab country. They do it.... cause they CAN. some just want a pretty face at the front and for other benefits.... :S

I know I have not gotten work yet, since I am not right age, race, gender and weight! but also now visa excuse.... when i get interview call. i can not get residence visa from a husband or father sponser, and the business says they dont have female residence visas. To bad for the Employer!!! I am a very talented, hard-working career minded lady, who any company would benefit from having. I know I would be a good asset.

But yes, some companies post they need arab speakers, (I speak Arab btw!!)
as for cooks... they can post they need certain nationality to cook certain food items other nationalites don't have the skills for.

I use to own my own Restaurant, as well as other businesses back in USA before my divorce. So I know finding qualified employees is hard to do, but I DO NOT hire based on age, race etc. I hired based on their skills and experience. fair work ethics dont apply here. to bad.

But like I said to many companies here discriminate and post they specificly want indian or asian cause they can pay them alot less.
