I've been offered a position at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The position and school sounds legitimate but I can't find anything out about the company. Their "agreement/contract" is between you and the International Co. for Education and E-Learning, not between you and the school and no where on the contract does it name the University. So, there are red flags.
Anyone know anything about this compoany? Is it legitimate?
Thanks!

An "E-learning" company without a website is more than a red flag. What kind of E-abra Kadabra learning they do!!!!

It could be a scam. Send me US$500 and I will check for you.

Will they be bringing you on a business visa or Work?

I interviewed with them last week and asked them what type of visa is being sponsored. he told me it is a work visa. I was told that they would get back to me with contract details in a few weeks. They have not contacted me yet.

Avoid this company like the plague!

You will not get a legitimate working visa for months after arrival.

The company is managed by amateur Saudi "businessmen":
your values are worthless + no communication + no trust + shady contract = unpleasant experience.

Working for this company means you will be working at King Saud University alongside Bell employees. Read all the Bell/KSU posts for more information on this working environment.

The lack of ink in the contract explains it all. The less the contract says, the less you can expect from a company.
