You can also consider sending your CV to a specialist job agency which can steer you in the right direction.
Remember it really is essential that you secure the right job offer before taking steps to move to Saudi Arabia. All expats need a sponsor to live, work or even visit the country.

It is not easy to get a job in Saudi Arabia as a women. Unfortunately, society is quite patriarchal. Although women are allowed to work, the fact is that unless you have highly sought-after skills, the chances are a company will prefer to hire a man for the job.
Seeing as you already have the iquama and your accommodation sorted, this she put you at an advantage. In the past, trailing spouses have found jobs teaching English or at one of the international schools. However, the authorities are even beginning to clamp down on this too.
Stay persistant and hopefully in time you should come right in the end. Good luck.
