Before you spend the considerable time and money it takes to get a Saudi visa, expecting to get reimbursed for your expenses and actually get the job you've been promised, investigate your prospective employer's reputation for dealing in good faith.
As for WSI, a day before I was to get on the plane, I was informed that my contract to be project director was withdrawn and I was to come over instead as an instructor with the possibility of promotion. If you are reading this, WSI, you may withdraw an offer only up to the point that the other party accepts. After that, a contract is a contract, and if you back out you may think that you are unlikely to be sued over there in Saudi, but when word gets out about your deceitful dealings, you will find it hard to attract good people. |

It is a shame that they trait people like this, and they do not respect their contract and change it at the last minute. I have got a friend who got a contract with a different institution, with a condition that when he will start his job they will promote him, he stayed for three years and nothing happened, no promotion, no slary increase, nothing.
This shows how these recruiters and some of the institutios are un-professional, and they do not respect any ethical obligation towards the employeers, and because there is no Teacher Union, or other bodies which can help and support the emplyeers in case of problems, the employees in SA are abused, lost and their rights taken! |

| Scot47 which satellite package have you got? You keep making references to programs I haven't seen. Strange considering I watch a lot of TV. |

| Van Norden only watches free-on-air sat tv. Otherwise he will jeopardise his membership of meanies incorporated (aka the 500 Club) |

| The best PC Wren book is Father Gregory on the iniquity of the demon drink and the opprobrium of the expatriates who indulge in excessive potations of bazaar brandy. |

Beau Jest?
Isn't that a good French joke? 
I know people whose efforts to attain Club 300 membership includes not subscribing to Satellite TV, and whose viewing is thus limited to a load of Arabic and Bollywood channels, none of which they actually understand, and to the same news report every half hour on BBC World and CNN.
BREAKING NEWS:
Condoleeza Rice has arrived in Japan by plane, looking tired and weary and ...well, quite crappy really. In Washington, George Bush is having meetings with people, while Halliburton has reported massive increases in profits over the last three years resulting from a sharp increase in demand in the military supplies sector. |
