I have just been offered an ESL position at Ha'l University by M Trading Company. As a result, I did a Google search and found some horror stories.
A few comments were favourable but most were negative. Does anyone have any further comments to make?
I have read the comments about Ha'l on this site and think that the issues there may be enough to cope with without factoring in a difficult employer.

Me too! Same position, no visa, no airfare..........doesn't sound good to me. What about a agency called alemamin and a man named SALEM AMIN BECK?

Hi Hurriyah,
No. That wasn't the name of the recruiter from M-Trading.
What are you going to do?

M-Trading is a parent company with many guises and heaps of recruiters.

M-Trading AKA Virtual Vision AKA Dialdin AKA Al-Kam Trading AKA Tulbah Contracting Services AKA Global Entity Manpower and many aliases to hide the beast.

Do not under any circumstances develop a contractual relationahip with M-Trading or any of its etceteras.

I won't; and thanks for the advice. I know this may sound naive but I
feel sad after this discovery. (Thank God! for ESL Websites!)
This was my first attempt at getting work in the ME - and hey! I was succesful! - only to find out that all was not as it seemed.
I assume the only way to get a decent position is directly through a university and not a recruiter.
Tell me please: why are so many recruiters mentioned on this and other sites - so awful.
