I had an interview with Berlitz today ( Abu Dhabi ) and the package they offered me was much less than I thought...I have a BA and Grad Dip TESOL and M.Ed TESOL.

But was offered only 9000Dhs...Is this normal? plus 187 hours a month.

If this is what the norm is here, I may just go back to Australia...

Or perhaps I am expecting too much.

They do pay quite low at Berlitz. I hope they provide housing on top of that figure, but I don't think they do. If you have experience on top of those papers then I think you need to aim higher.

Much higher! But, with the M. Ed TESOL, why such a pedestrian job search?

Many applicants at the job fair had their masters but few had much in the way of experience. Not sure if that's the case of the OP... Question Those w/o the experience were getting called for interviews w/ IAT and the like.
