IH Saudi Arabia is again recruiting on the "Other" Recruiting Site. Get the word out of this dismal place that basically abuses it's instructors and treats them like fodder.

It's a sacrifice, but money, by the standards of most other countries, is pretty good.

I teach in S. Korea, not everyone's cup of tea, but have just been offered a continuous contract teaching biz eng at $5000 a month, no thrills or benefits though. However, it has been said before, why on earth would anyone accept a contract for less than $4000 in Saudi when a job in Korea can pay $2500 a month plus accommodation, and you can find some private classes on the side?

I would rather spend 2 months in Saudi than a month in Korea ever again. I would actually prefer Saudi at $2500 over Korea at $4000. That's why.

Dear h-train,

"I would actually prefer Saudi at $2500 over Korea at $4000. That's why."

Uh-oh - better be careful. Posting stuff like that will surely make some other posters think you're weird. After all, only weird people would "prefer Saudi."

Regards,
Weird John
