Find a job
Finding a job in Aswan may not be as easy as it seems, especially if you are not yet on the spot. Indeed, it is best to start your job search once you have landed in the country. Of course, word of mouth will be of great help if you have friends and contacts on the spot. However, you are advised to be very formal when sending spontaneous job applications to companies in which you are interested.
Consider giving out your contact details to people around you so that they can eventually notify you in case of any job vacancy. Feel free to seek the help of foreign Chambers of Commerce as well. These may redirect you towards companies looking for foreign expertise, or at least particular skills.
Important:
Make sure to write your resume and cover letter in English.
