I recently had an interview with KAU via skype, very short interview. The 'committee' that conducted the interview didnt bother turning on their webcam. which was a lil wierd talking at a green screen... Anyway I didnt get the opportunity to discuss anything as they seem to be in hurry to get it over. Is this normal? Also how do they calculate salary? I have 4 yrs experience, TEFL and Masters. i know the Housing allowance isnt much also..would be great to get some info from you guys.

I had a similar experience with them as well. The interview did seem quite rushed. They didn't really wait around to see if I had any questions either, but all other correspondence with them was cordial and prompt. You should hear back from them regarding the interview in 1-2 weeks.

I've got an interview with them in two days. How was your interview? Did they test your knowledge ?

Hi are we talking about ELI in Jeddah?

I take it all you guys have an MA in TEFL or TESOL or a BA Degree in English with a PGCE?

Thanks

No, I have a degree and masters in a non-English subject, TEFL, PGCE, and almost 5 years teaching experience, including a year teaching in a Gulf country.

Hi All,
I got an offer through ICEAT ( generous one!) but I wonder if KA's ELI are still accepting applications?
Thanks
Note : An annoying new comer is just exploring options.

The ELI at KAU hires all year long. I have seen new teachers coming over in May. They need to fill 50 positions (due to growing demand and number of students going into the program) before the start of the new year (Sept/2014).
