Sounds something like my interview from JUC Jubail University College. They were absolutely awful. The only bad interview I've ever had, to date. The offer letter was almost as much fun. :) (I wrote about my experience here. ) I must say, though, ... Read More
Mosquitos in jeddah by Marys1609
We will be moving to jeddah shortly and I wondered whether anyone can tell me whether they are bothered by Mosquitos there? I am one of those people that attract them and suffer really badly.
By the way, brought back citronella essential oil with me from the States, to repel mosquitoes. Forgot to bring a diffuser, but I'm thinking it'll work fine in a cup of hot water, or maybe even a drop or two in a burning votive candle. Read More

Hi All, I just had an interview with JUC female branch (Jubail University College) and it was AWFUL! I wanted to ask if anyone else had such an experience with them - or maybe I'm just imagining it? The problems I had were as follows: 1. They did ...

Just got my offer letter from JUC - Jubail University College. It was awful. Awful, awful, awful. Most condescending and callous - if a contract could be that, this one was. Anyone who's gotten an offer letter from them would know what I'm talking ... Read More

All of this info about Bell Obeikan's mismanagement is moot, however, since they were given the boot several years ago. I have British colleagues who bemoan the fact that an otherwise revered British educatioal group, Bell, was dragged through the ... Read More

Living in Madinah as a single woman?? by musaafira
Hello everyone! I am considering work in Madinah as an ESL teacher, but I would have to live there alone without family. I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that? Are there any people here on the forum from Madinah? Thanks!
