Perhaps some of us have contacts in circles that you do not... stuck teaching for contractors as you are.

Your negative attitudes toward Oman and Omanis likely explain your lack...

Would anybody currently at, or recently departed from MTC care to comment on the vacation timings? I've been hearing conflicting reports. Is it true you only get 30 days in the summer and have to work summer school?

Avoid MTC if you can, that is the scuttlebutt.

The vacations are down to two weeks n the summer, and a week plus two weekends at either end, at two other times. The weekends are consumed by travel time, leaving you with 20+ days a year to relish. Sad

Bearing in mind the recent throat slitting at MTC you may wish to look elsewhere.

Sounds pretty bleak. Just two weeks in the summer? That's even worse than all the private colleges in Oman.

To the OP:

Was the salary paid on time and in full?

Was it paid via bank transfer to your bank account of choice?

Considering the consensus view of the place, these questions are probably moot.

Not if you are open to hacking 3 months there and then leaving, to collect a bit of cash. Smile

How do you explain a 3 months gig on your CV?

Does looks bad unless you leave it off, but even then you have to explain it.

You don't put it on your CV.

Someone in your family got sick. Even better, got let down by a recruiter and the job fell through as they didn't actually have the contract .There, that wasn't so hard was it?

They lie so should you.

I wouldn't call 1385 Omani rial a month 'crap'.....particularly if you are assigned to an interior College. Your total monthly expenses 'may' not exceed the 385 a month...meaning total montly savings of almost 2000 pounds.....wouldn't call that 'crap'. Smile
