I am currently teaching in South Korea for two years and my contract will be expiring in two months. I would like to teach in Saudi Arabia but I realize I dont have as much experience as is normally required. I have a BA in Communication and I plan to take the CELTA in December. With that being said I have still been applying to jobs in SA. I have gotten my share of rejections and today I got an offer from the above said company. The contract is written completely in English and it is somewhat vague in terms of specifying when I will get paid (it says something to the affect of at the end of the Gregorian month whatever that means.) It also doesn't specify the age of the students. here is a link to the company website.

Its arabic so I cant read it. I'm just trying to find out if this is for real before I make a bad decision. Any advice would be helpful.

The latest rule for PMs is that you have to have made at least 5 posts (trying to weed out spammers).

As to your job offer, remember that generally speaking if you have limited credentials and experience, the places that will hire you will not be very good places to work. Do a LOT of reading here before you get yourself into an unpleasant situation.
