Has anyone heard about Yanbu Community college? They posted an ad some time ago and they offer good packages.
What's the place like?
Thanks...

Yanbu Community College ???

Any news about it?

Yanbu CC offered me a very attractive package--more than I've ever been offered in my life--but that was 2 months ago and I'm still waiting for the contract. I sent them an email about a month ago asking what was going on. No reply. Then last week I sent them another. They replied saying "Please be advised everything is OK and we are looking forward to having you aboard."

Hmm, well, that's fine and dandy but they didn't answer any of my questions, and I still haven't seen a contract.

Anyway in sum, I'm not too impressed with how they do business. I was chatting with a colleague who used to work in the Middle East and he said not to worry, this sounds like the usual lacksidasical (spelling?) approach to business. I don't know whether this is true.

I have found no info on this college on Dave's though there is a bit on Yanbu itself if you do a search.

Anyway I would also appreciate any info about Yanbu Community College.

don't worry. This is standard. Expect a phone call saying that you are due on a plane 2 days later

That seems to be the usual thing with YCC.
Other people are having similar experiences.
