Q: How difficult will it be for me to get a job in Tunisia? I have a pharmaceutical degree
A: Before you can even think of getting a job here in Tunisia, you must have a properly drawn-up contract which has been endorsed by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Foreigners are not allowed to do jobs which Tunisians could normally fill. You cannot apply for such a contract yourself. When an employer has offered you a job, you will draw up a contract by mutual consent and it is incumbent on your employer to get proper ministerial endorsement of it. Second, your credentials will have to meet those of the Tunisian standard and you will need proper documentation to prove it. I do not know if you will have to pass another exam or not to prove this. Since I read from your other question that you are from the UK, I will give you the UK link to Tunisian laws ans regulations concerning jobs: http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1022256794319 Here is the contact information for the British Embassy in Tunisia British Embassy Tunis Rue du Lac Windermere Les Berges du Lac 1053 Tunis TUNISIA TELEPHONE: +216.71.108.782 FAX: Consular Section: +216.71.108.779 E-MAIL: TunisConsular.Tunis@fco.gov.uk WEBSITE: http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1017170890194 Good luck, and if I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
