| Actually, there was an increase of OMR30-50 a couple of years ago, but it only applied to people employed at that stage. MoM hasn't been forthcoming with any increases in payments to the agencies since then, so . . . |

Salary is 1385 OMR which breaks down as 250 OMR housing, 135 other allowance and 1000 basic salary.
This was the original post, and I didn't know if this $1385 OMR "breaks down" was that part of the "salary benefit" or was the salary totally separate. |
The 1385 OMR is the total compensation - salary and benefits.

How long do TATI generally take to reply to applications? I sent mine in about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back yet.
Thanks |

Give it some time. However, it's likely they'll only reply if you make it onto their interview list. |

| They do an initial screening and then forward applications to the colleges. If one of them is interested, they'll ask TATI to organise an interview. Sorry, it doesn't happen overnight. |

I applied to TATI one year, but they just kinda faded away into the background over several weeks and stopped replying to my emails.
Another year, they snatched me up within weeks.
I'm out of here in a few weeks - I've been with TATI for 4 years and I would not recommend the to anyone. However, I recommend CECN and Al Nawa even less... we have a few extremely disgrunted people working for them and I feel fortunate by comparison. Even so, ta-ta, TATI. Never again. |

Yeah, well, all I can say is that I wish I'd got into the TEFL racket ten years before I actually did. Compared to where I'm at now, I'd probably be loaded  . You'll meet people in Oman who just go to the bars every night and blow their savings sitting in four-star hotels, drinking nine-dollar beers, but, it doesn't have to be that way. As I mentioned in another post recently, I saved over 25,000 USD in just one year and, God knows, I wasn't overworked or had to scrimp in order to do it. Also I was in one of the lesser-paid TEFL gigs in Oman and I reckon it would be possible to save around forty grand without too much difficulty if you had one of the more sought-after jobs and no dependents.
True, I had to live in the Gulf to earn it, but, I think when it comes to living in the GCC, the Internet has changed everything. Also the people who seem to adjust the best are the ones who have a hobby that they are passionate about and can do where they are. There was one guy at our college who was a fanatic bird-watcher, two that were working on getting a black belt in karate, another who used to paint, there was a very keen gardener and a woman in her sixties who was the best female tennis player in Dhofar. Personally, I became a pretty good chess player and I actually think I might have a shot at eventually competing at master's level. It's something to shoot for anyway and something I can keep working towards as long as I still have a few marbles rolling around upstairs.
Besides, Oman is a beautiful country filled with some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. I know people who are enchanted by it. I wasn't one of them, but I can understand the attraction. Anyway, generally speaking, I think a spell in Oman is still very much worth doing. Will that still be the case in five years? Beats me, but, for now, I certainly wouldn't be quick to dissuade people from considering it and I have no regrets about trying it. |

Oh man! Reading this makes me wish I had a chance at working there. Lived there as a student a few years agon and was absolutely in love with the place, sadly I'm not a "native" speaker and don't have an MA in TESOL so when I apply I get overlooked... |
