Everyone’s excited for Apple Stores to finally enter the Kingdom (long overdue) and it seems the wait won’t have to be as long as announced.<\/a> But now, there’s finally proof to finally seal this deal as the Apple store itself listed down job offers on their official website for prospective employees in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n

That’s right.<\/p>\n

Originally, there had been talks that Apple stores were to launch in Saudi by 2019, following the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s meet-up with Apple’s Tim Cook.<\/p>\n

The two met in Cupertino, as part of MBS’ global tour<\/a> wherein they discussed the launch of a maiden Apple store in Saudi. Talks about allowing<\/a> mixed genders to work within the same vicinity at the popular store also surfaced the web, just five months ago.<\/p>\n

The first reported Apple store was already discovered at the Riyadh Airport<\/h3>\n

Saudi Arabia’s first official Apple store opened<\/a> up inside the new Terminal 5 at the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The opening of the anticipated store took place on July 25, when it first opened to the public.<\/p>\n

There are 15 jobs currently available via Apple’s official website<\/h3>\n

Most of the job offers currently listed on the site<\/a> require people in sales or to work as Apple Solutions Consultants. The majority of positions being offered are based in what seems to be the Riyadh Apple store, however; job roles in Dammam, Dhahran, Makkah and Jeddah are also hiring.<\/p>\n

The page is currently allowing resum\u00e9s to be sent in by just logging in with an Apple ID username and password.<\/p>\n
