Unemployed English Major? Embark on the adventure of a lifetime - Teach at a University in Saudi Arabia


Someone asked who would be desperate enough to be ripped off in such a way. I guess footprints has figured it out... people who are unemployed and studied an English major.

If you are clever enough to read this forum, let me tell you that I wasn't even an English major and have a job for the same university they are recruiting for which pays $3200 for less hours and you don't have to share accomodation.

They keep on advertising which obviously means they are not managing to find people. Stay away from footprints recruiting. They are knowingly taking advantage of you. Stick to your guns people!

All companies get paid the same for the teachers they provide. So someone will be getting that extra $1000 a month which they should have been paying you! As the more experienced teachers in Saudi have said, they have never seen anything like it in all their years in the kingdom.

To borrow a lyric from BTO:

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

I do remember an ad inviting teachers to come to 'Sunny Dubai' (49 Celsius in the shade at that time).

Dear Stephen,

Sonny Dubai - I remember him. He was a capo in the Bananno family, right?

Regards,
John

Yeah I turned down that offer after I did my research on here. Now I have an offer for 3200 from another University. Those people also had to pay for all their medical exams and visa fees.
