Has anyone been employed by this outfit recently?
I was shortlisted, then interviewed...very bizarres. I thought they interview went very well. There was the Emirati manager, a Brit, who was head of the ESL program or lead teacher, and a German who was working in the oil industry. Anyhow, after 45 minutes they'd asked me if I had any questions. I asked them when they'd be contacting people, was told in 2 to 3 weeks. As am thanking them to leave the Emirati excuses himself to the others and follows me out, tells me I hadn't signed some paper when I got there and to just wait a minute I'm thinking, ok, strange, or not? Five mins later a local guy I'd met when I'd arrived there comes over and says, "ok, you can go now.". I told him this other guy said I had to sign something, his response, " No problem, just I want to tell you I will call to you in this afternoon with good news. We will all have a great weekend!" OoooKKKKK then, guess what, heard nothing from them! I was all excited telling everyone (and asking them what they thought) I'd gotten a job with ADCO. I went to see them about 2 weeks later and asked a guy what happened and was told interviews were still going on, and he said, maybe they just wanted to see you happy? like, wth!
I was REALLy hoping to get on with them. Anyone working for them or know what I'm talking about?

It's a good gig. However, the price of oil is on the slide and recruitment may have come to a halt. All the oil companies pay more or less the same when you break it down but the ADCO gig has a good housing allowance, which makes it pip the others. Think you'll find a lot of turmoil/change in oil company training programmes right now, so be patient and keep applying.
