Where do I start? have you had the pleasure of reading a legal document? those things suck!! it’s like teaching a kid not to do something.. and make sure u tell him that himself, his friends, his cousins, his second cousins, and his nanny shouldn’t do it!
they repeat things over and over again!! I wonder why the legal system didnt stay the way Hamurrabi made it.. things were simple back then! you kill, you get killed.. and so on!
and please don’t tell me because it’s important.. i know that and i’m more than sure it’s important, it’s just pain in the ass to read and be able to stay focused when you are reading!
to understand what i’m talking about.. read this sample shareholder’s agreement
ENJOY !!

Ambani family, an Indian family that own a petrochemical company with a net worth of about $43 billion has been building their new house. the house should be a 27 stories home over looking the Arabian sea in Mumbai. the house has over 400,000 sq. feet of interior design! it’s ridiculous to think of building a house that costs this much regardless of how much money you have!
for more information about the house read the article in Forbes magazine by clicking Here

To whom this may concern,
obviously interior designers. I am currently looking for some interior designers to handle some work for a company .. outsourcing kind of deal. if any one is interested please contact me on weld@ma6aba.com with your information so I can forward it to the company. this may end up being a good opportunity to strike a project or two a year.

I never imagined how hard it is to find a job in this country, and trust me .. qualification, enthusiasm, interest, and hard-work doesn’t really make a difference. For the past 3 months I have been doing an internship for XYZ company in Kuwait doing the one thing I love to do and I’m not going to disclose that because once I say it it will be obvious which company I was interning at. for the 3 months that I attended they haven’t seen anything but hardwork, interest, and giving from me. which I have to say it was greatly appreciated by the people working with me and my supervisors.
But this wasn’t the problem, and me working there for an extention of 2 extra months unpaid wasn’t the problem either. The problem is the upper management which from some reason decided to keep my application on hold for no given reason even though the department requires more resources.
So now I realize i’m hanging out at home unemployed looking for a job. and that is one hell of a job by it self.. I sent my resumes out for alot of companies, in and out of kuwait, with no clear response yet. So now I started the modern way to see if that helps, I started applying through recruitment websites which I found useful honestly but non effective yet. here is what I have been using lately:
- Gulf Connexions
- Monster Gulf
- E-Financial Career
- Albourne
If anyone have more suggestions of what I should do please go ahead and share it. I’m very interesting in Hedgefunds.
