Set A: The set of potential teachers who've been offered jobs at KAU who have posted that fact here: 6

Set B: The set of potential teachers who've been offered jobs at KAU who come here, read the posts, but don't post themselves: ~ 2x Set A (normal probability for a website)

Set C: The set of all potential teachers who've been offered jobs at KAU who don't come to this site: ~5x Set B (intelligent guess).

I can predict upwards of 6 x 2 x 5 have been offered jobs at KAU. 12 x 5 takes it to about 60 people being offered jobs there by now.

You can fool some people all the time, KAU. But some of us are wise birds.

I don't get your figures, rigel. If 50 (perhaps more) have been invited, and they were recruiting, say, 200, then they've only gotten a quarter of the way.

Do you know what the size of the faculty should/would be in the coming year? I heard the program was expanding.

I've seen some enormous programs before, and they can have a lot of headaches, but it can be a good laugh too. Lighten up a bit. What can they do to you anyway?

Are you working in KSA now? Have you worked overseas before? Have you worked with a big department such as the one (I suspect) is being amassed at KAU? I would imagine that for every offer provided, that at least 50% decline.

We should be hearing from approximately 75 people on this thread in the near future, huh?

200 being added? I'd say that's some info that's useful. Finally. Thanks, Green, a username that's wet behind the ears and all but a week old. I appreciate it.

Don't let the headscarf and false eyelashes fool you. I would turn to dust, but for this turbin....

there is a subset of that subset as well, and it can be found in the sunset of the sunset.

How long between interview and job offer for KAU anyone?

[eclectic]

2 weeks

[Mr. Mead]

24 hours, but to be fair, I was notified by the recruiter, not KAU

[rigel]

I think I've been blackballed by these guys, as I've not heard a thing from 'em since my interview about 5 weeks ago. No worries, though. A split-shift day that starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m. with meetings on one day off isn't what I'm looking for.

[eclectic]

rigel Im surprised youre still even considering taking the thing.

[rigel]

I'm not really considering it, as I've moved past that stage. I'm entering the MA-acquisition stage now. But I will give some 'consideration' to somebody who called me one evening from KSA and bent my ear for well over an hour.

If I got exactly what I wanted today contract-wise, I'd do it. But pigs will grow wings first.
