The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "O God, grant me life as a poor man, cause me to die as a poor man and resurrect me in the company of the poor.." His wife asked him why he said that, and he replied: "Because (the poor) will enter Paradise (before) the rich. Do not turn away a poor man...even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you..God will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection."
--------- Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1376.

Cisco- Open Position in the Middle East

Assalaam Alykum,
Cisco is a global organization that is now hiring in the middle East. There are two openings for Middle Eastern Nationals or those who are willing to relocate (*Saudis are highly encouraged).
 
Please Let me know if you know anyone who is going to be interested in these job descriptions: Email brother Saleh Albarmawi: Saleh.albarmawi (at) gmail.com
 
the top one is for experienced 3-5 yrs...the second one Entry Level trainning to hire.
 
----------------------------------
First Position:
 
Cisco's new Global Talent Acceleration Program (GTAP) provides an outstanding opportunity for aspiring talent in key emerging regions.  We are actively seeking referrals to quality, high potential candidates in the Middle East. Specifically, we need your referrals to candidates who will fill our Professional NCE (pNCE) track. These are people who have 3 to 5 years of Cisco networking experience, and who possess the work ethic and aptitude to integrate well into Cisco's dynamic, collaborative culture.
 
GTAP is a proactive new Program that develops home-grown talent in Emerging Countries where highly skilled resources have traditionally been scarce.  GTAP focuses on creating a sustainable, long term service infrastructure that is critical to Cisco's success in these high growth markets, and that contributes to the long term well being and economic growth of host countries. 
 
This unique Program encompasses training and transitioning to service delivery, thereby developing candidates' technical as well as professional skills.  During the 6-month pNCE curriculum, students will be employed and salaried by a Cisco partner while participating in training in Amman, Jordan.  Following the training, it is Cisco's intention for successful candidates to be absorbed into the Advanced Services or Emerging Markets Technology Practices organizations.
 
Learning is done in small groups, enabling GTAP to put strong emphasis on skills development, mentorship, and real customer scenarios.
 
Please contact us if you know of a candidate in these regions who may qualify, for the upcoming cohorts, we are seeking Saudi, Lebanese, Egyptian, Moroccan and Algerian passport holders.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Second Position:
 
This is the second Cisco program in the Middle East.  As I understand, all the students in this program are Saudi (expect for a handful).  So, if we know anyone in that area or if you are interested in Riyadh, please let me know.  I know two managers personally - they were in the Cisco program with me in the US.
Team,

Sister Looking For Housing

Assalamu Alaikum

Dear MSA members

My name is Hoda Osman, an Egyptian PhD student attending GMU (Fairfax) starting the fall semester 2008. I'm supposed to arrive at Fairfax approximately on the 20th or 21st of August.

I started looking for a place on craigslist and got some opportunities with female roommates, but I'd rather have Muslim sisters as roommates.

The ideal place I'm looking for is a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom in an apartment or a townhouse that is either a walking distance to campus or conveniently located on a bus route. I'm very clean and organized and in need for a quiet place to focus on my studies.

I would appreciate it if any sister lives in or knows about a place where I can move in around the mentioned date.

May Allah reward you.

Hoda G. Osman
