I was suspicious of the following offer because I am over 60 and thought usually Saudi Arabia did not issue visas for people my age. So, I asked another agency hiring for Princess Nora/Noora University. His response follows this offer:

Thanks xxxxxxx,

We have established that this is not a legitimate offer from PNU

Contractors quite often hire older teachers. Direct hire is usually limited to those under 60 AT DATE OF COMMENCEMENT. Some organisations expect everyone to go aged 60 - and even use the Hegira calendar to calculate your age !

Those recruited by Teachaway are treated as direct hire, as are those recruited by Uniservices. Rumor has it that PNU will no longer be using SBC as a recruiter, but this has not been substantiated.
