KFMMC have offered me a job. Could any past or present employee let me know what they're like to work for. I have previous Middle East experience, but not in Saudi.

Many thanks.

It is a good distance out of town. Most things you need are available on site. You can live there without your own transport.

They seem to have lost a fair number of staff - not sure why. I heard that they were no longer redcruitiung female teachers but plan to rely on male sstaff to teach male and female Saudi students.

I interviewed with them in June but KFUPM sent me the contract first.

Seemed a very pleasant place to work with very pleasant staff.

No horror stories, then. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

I see they are advertising again on Dave's. The ad looks okay but single status only and no mention of an age limit. Does anyone know if they hire wrinklies ?

I hear that they will only process your visa in the country of which you are a citizen. A hassle for some.

Someone not familiar with the "SEARCH" function was asking about this employer.

When you get there do not ask too openly about the two British nurses condemned to death and subsequently pardoned for murdering their Australian colleague.
