Hello I am interviewing for a position at Al Hassan and I was wondering if I should be aware of anything about this company. I have searched for any posting on this and have not seen anything. I have an MA TESOL, but I don't have much experience (1 year full time, and almost another year with some part time and other experiences.) So I know it would be difficult to get a uni job at this time in my career.
Starting pay is $3000 USA a month
30 days vacation (Plus holidays)
Iqama (can bring my family in three months)
Flight for me
$900 housing a month
Insurance

It seems like a standard contract from what I have seen. Any thoughts from those who have experience?

Thank you!

I believe you mean "Al Hussan." There's at least one short comment about it on this forum, and it's not positive (http://forums.eslcafe.com/job/viewtopic.php?t=94846).

2. Al Hussan International School, IB & IGCSE curric (Khobar, Jubail, Riyadh)?
3. Al Hussan Training Institute (Dammam, Jubail)?

It is the corporation http://www.alhussan.com/
I also have a family and one of my friends in Riyadh mentioned that some of these institutes make promises about getting your family in, and they often renege. Any thoughts?

IB: very au courant, isn't it?

Not much more than institutional cachet, a superficial brand for PR to deploy at will to aspiring constituents.

A former teacher told of a genuinely shtumpik Prince, an Al-Hussan student, who stumbled through three Forms. He nevertheless accepted all manner of juicy awards at Convo.

Clever marketing, indeed.
