Hi everyone,

I have just secured a position at KFUPM and would welcome being able to contact someone working there regarding the conditions . I have read with interest all the posts relating to KFUPM and Saudi Arabia in general, as well as other Middle East posts, and it seems that the majority of you are all content with the place. However being new to the Middle East I would appreciate more information on the specifics of courses offered, current state of security, housing offered, Dhahran/Khobar/Dammam area among other things. Would anyone be willing to be PM'ed?


Thanks and happy new year to everyone.

Used to work at Hafr al Batin Comm College, which is under the auspices of KFUPM, but cannot tell you very much about the main campus in Dhahran.

What I can tell you is that as an employer they're very decent & reputable and will treat you fairly in all matters.

Good luck there.

Thanks Bebsi, I have received some PMs about the main campus. Incidentally can you tell me more about Hafr al Batin Comm College gig that you were involved in? Also where do you work now if you don't mind me asking? Are you content there? You can PM me if you like.

Thanks.

You have not yet arrived and already you are planning to change jobs ?

Instead of asking others about what they do, why not tell us more about yourself ?

Gosh, I wish I could say that about my employer. In fact, I didn't know there was such a critter in these parts... Crying or Very sad

Not planning to change jobs. I prefer to tell more about myself to people I meet in person.
