Was this advertisement on the Cafe job's board? If so, Dave should be notified of the obvious scam.

It apparently has nothing to do with the Middle East, so I'm not sure why you are posting here on the Saudi board?

Why would they care because I mentioned about posting ads from bad recruiters and told it's about money. I feel why allow a bad recruiter to keep advertising if they mess over teachers?

Dear babur,

"VS. Put your reading glasses back on. The jobs are in Saudi."

I don't think reading glasses can help anyone see what isn't there. Your OP left out (among other things) this:

"Teaching adult, University Level in Jizan, Aramco, Riyadh, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia "

Regards,
John

^^ If that is the "full ad", how come it doesn't have the text that babur posted in his OP?

Not sure how reading glasses (which I don't require BTW) would help me to read what isn't there. Rolling Eyes

Good Heavens boy... what are you talking about? The ad you posted has nothing that you posted in your original post. You made up a bunch of crap and then we were supposed to figure out that you were talking about this ad?

Are you drinking or on drugs or something?

So the employer arranges week-end trips into the desert to dune bash or something. That is some horrible thing?

First off... all recruiters are bad or at least 90+% of them. But bad by whose definition? Is there an actual job? Do you get paid?

In that case, they are NOT a scam and no job advertising website is going to turn them down. If they are a scam, Dave removes their ad.

It is not up to all the websites to vet all the employers who do offer real jobs. That is your job. If you don't check things out properly before you take a job, and it isn't up to your expectations, that is your problem.

Welcome to the real world... it's something like marriage, but easier to get out of. You just head to the airport.

^ See, it would have been better if you had posted the link (or the FULL ad) from the very beginning.

Anyway,

Dear babur,

"retirees need not apply"

No need to, thanks - we're financially secure.

However, given your apparent skill levels, you might want to send off "your resume, passport, diploma, certificate, letters of references" immediately Very Happy.

Regards,
John
