Congratulations on your offer. But, apart from paying your flight to go there, are you sure they going to pay your visa application fees, the cost of your medical report, the cost of notarization of your transcripts, the cost of a police check. It all adds up. Some places will reimburse you afterwards, if you keep your receipts, but many will not, and say so quite openly. Let us know!

Best to research these companies and agencies before submitting your CV. Anyway, a similar thread was started three days ago:

Had a Skype interview with an Egypto/jordo accented man. He seemed very dodgy and beat around the bush on my questions. The interview was conducted voice only, no video. So I was able to direct my wife by muting and giving her prompts. She was amused as was I on his total unprofessionalism. We were smiling and laughing while on mute, but had to tone it down once we were live again. This company is a joke. He promised a woman would contact my wife in a couple of days two weeks ago. He was fixated on my wife's accent and wanted to know where she was born. She said Quebec and the guy thought she sounded more like a Korean or Chinese. That was really funny because my wife is a dual citizen. One is Canada and the other the Ottoman Empire. Stay away from these jokers. We try our best to root out bad contractors. She has no need for this job but we thought it best to apply and report here on Dave's what happened.
