(I have searched this subject but found very few posts).

Am trying to get hired in ME/Gulf as an ESL teacher.

In short, any single female teachers in Saudi who can tell me how they got hired? I have interviewed at TESOL Conf and emailed many jobs advertised on-line....all to no avail. Only men to be hired. Bell told me that I could not get a visa as a single female.

Appreciate any recommendations, web sites or recruiter links. I've lived in ME for 7 years, visited Saudi, know what it's like. There's a reason the pay is so good Smile

thanks in advance -

Hard to give any kind of response unless your background if more fully-fleshed out.

What are your creds? Where did you work? What's you experience? Etc, etc, etc...

There are MANY women in the ME on their own visa. As always, Bell's full of crap!

However, based on what you've posted about your efforts and responses...they may be trying to be polite about it.

After all, 7 years in the ME can mean nothing more than a good tan.
