It wouldn't have been to any particular campus since you're not assigned to a campus until after you're hired.
What galls me is that these people who do the interviewing, not to mention the supervisors who make your life hell if you do get a job, were all in the same boat once. They were desperate for work once, they lay awake at night once worried sick about how they were going to support their families, but they forget where they came from. They get a job in Dubai or Jeddah or Qatar or KSA making more money than they could ever dream of back in Seattle or Birmingham or Dublin or Glascow or Melbourne, and they become collaborators and quislings and forget that they're playing with other people's lives. |

Very perceptive.  |

Yep, as someone who was chewed up and spit out twice by HCT, I agree. They were two of the worst experiences of my life, and I'll never forgive those responsible. Nor will I forget. |
