After spending a while unemployed, he worked in a Qur’an printing press in Medina as a technical inspector, then as managerial worker in Alsamhoodi high school, before moving to work as a director of public information in the Emirate Of Madinah Province in 2004, and finally resigning from government employment in 2006. One of the reasons for his resignation is that his freelance salary in AlRiyadh newspaper became four times the amount of his official governmental salary. At that time there was not any official position with the title ‘writer’ in the private sector, which made him join AlRiyadh newspaper as a ‘journalist’, and for that he wrote the article titled “Oh Lord, I am a writer”.
