				| They're recruiting for King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS).  There are some threads from over the past 12 months about KSAU-HS.  Scroll down the forum or do a search. |

				They were working with me without a MA. They called me for an introduction, said they'd call back and we'd do a proper interview, and never heard from them again. 
 
 
The salary range they offered was quite wide -- 32 to 45 thousand. Even the high end of that seems pretty god-awful for Saudi, which is why I'm not to sad they didn't call back. |

				32000 whats per when ? US Dollars per annum ? As well as the money what was in the contract ? Housing ? Medical ? Flights ? Dependants ? Education ?  These are all IMPORTANT factors

Short answer: yes.
 
 
Heed this advice (not particular to job offers from MD Talent, but ALL recruiters): don't be afraid to put your foot down and demand a higher salary.  Be polite but firm.  You are in a position where you do have a fair amount of bargaining power, bolstered when they are in a hiring frenzy (beginning of the semester).  Also, if you do have experience and a Masters, make sure they hire you based on your Masters.  If you have a Masters, this is a MUST. |

				I know some who went through MD and all went well.
 
 
They got good offers.  They help with the visa.
 
 
No problem and better than most. |
