Many companies in Indonesia write an age restriction in the job post. For example, below 30 years old or max 25 years old.

It’s different than the job requirements in other countries such as Europe does.

So, if you’re looking for a job in an Islamic company in Indonesia make sure you met the clothing and religion requirements otherwise, they won’t even consider you as one of the potential candidates.

# 4 Education requirements 



Most companies require their potential employee to possess at least a bachelor’s degree. Many employees that are high school graduates or lower usually work in small businesses called UMKM or other menial work such as cleaning services, package courier, and many more. So, make sure to get your bachelor’s degree especially if you’re applying for a well-established company in Indonesia.

# 5 Promise not to marry requirement.

These “Ikatan Dinas” programs are also for new high school graduates the company usually paying their university education but they have to stay unmarried for two years and have to pay back the money by working in the company for two years.
