Al-Marsad newspaper: A young Saudi orphan resorted to a unique way to get a job that would secure him a monthly salary. The young man decided to use a well-known poet to apply for a job.
Al-Mutairi actually undertook this task, and went to the council of one of the well-known tribal sheikhs, and recited a poem in front of him and his many guests.
Through the poem, Al-Mutairi explained the conditions of the young man and his request, in a manner similar to the presentation of the “biography” that accompanies job applications, but this time in poetry.
The poet praised the sheikh of the tribe to which he also belongs, the ancient Mutair tribe, and his constant response to those who need help, a method of praise known in Arabic poetry, before he made his request.
He said, “His request is not related to his own need, but rather to the need of a young man from another tribe, also the ancient Harb tribe, who turned to him to get a job.”
