Regarding this year’s virtual career fair, Gulf Bank's General Manager of Human Resources, Salma Al-Hajjaj, commented: "Each and every department at Gulf Bank is constantly striving to solidify Gulf Bank’s position as the Kuwaiti Bank of the Future. At Gulf Bank, we also recognize that we cannot reach this position without the presence and assistance of a supremely qualified young human capital force. This is why we are always keen to be present in local career fairs due to their critical role in attracting national workforce, and renewing and developing our competencies at the Bank. We are proud of our pioneering role in providing job opportunities for Kuwaiti youth and of the many efforts we are spearheading to achieve Kuwait Vision 2035 ‘New Kuwait’ and create a more sustainable national economy."
