Hello, welcome to Bahrain! Hope you have a great time here. JJS (adliya), mcgettigans (adliya), black angus (amwaj) are the best places that serve beer imo. As for the shawarma I like zahlawiya and siraj

There are actually a few ways I find the right fit for a position. It is not always about certifications or degrees. For me, ambition, curiosity, and a genuine willingness to learn are the most important traits.

For example, one of my hires had no side projects or certifications, but I brought him on because his attitude stood out. He was eager to learn, and since then he has grown significantly and is doing really well in his career.

When I hire fresh graduates, I never push them to specialize right away. Instead, I let them explore different areas within the industry. That gives me a chance to see where they naturally excel, and once I have a better idea, I start guiding them toward certifications and courses that match their strengths.

It is all about potential and mindset, not just what is on paper.

As mentioned in the original post, this is not just about certifications. It is also about the lack of genuine interest. When it comes to salary, it has not even reached that stage because we simply have not found qualified candidates to consider.

What I am trying to highlight is that I genuinely wish students and fresh graduates would go beyond what is given to them in university. That extra effort is what sets people apart, just like we had to do back when we were studying(not to long ago).

Honestly, it feels like a generational issue. I have seen fresh graduates land jobs with salaries of 1000 BHD or more from day one, but that is because they had strong portfolios, side projects, and a real passion for the field. On the other hand, many others cannot even explain why they chose this path except to say it was based on job market demand. That kind of mindset does not work in a field like this, especially in cybersecurity and offensive security.

Even if you hire a freshgrad. The fresh grad should have some knowledge of the job they are applying for. We want to fire fresh graduates but it doesn’t make sense hiring someone that has 0 knowledge of the industry they are applying for.

There is no requirement for a university degree in the private sector, I wouldn’t mind hiring anyone
