“The response to this third recruitment drive has been impressive, not just in terms of the interest it has generated and the number of applicants it has produced, but also in terms of the quality of the applications we have received,” said Trevor McCartney, the OCEC General Manager.
Embracing the spirit of rich culture

With the Covid-19 pandemic unrelenting, Eid celebrations are under the strictest social distancing norms. A cross-section of expatriate professionals shares their impressions about Eid celebrations before Covid-19 and about the present amid precautions.
Antonella Appiano, Writer/Researcher: My views about Eid are influenced by my studies on Islamic and Middle East countries. I believe our understanding of traditions and culture creates bridges and enhances the ability to connect. When Muslims and non-Muslims are able to interact without prejudices, preconceptions, there is a lot to learn from one another. Fasting tests your patience and willpower and also prove yourself of being a better person. However, an aspect that really touched me during the holy month is the strong sense of community, especially if you are living in a peaceful country like Oman.
