o!

I have an interview for a teaching position next week and I know I don't have a job offer yet but I had a few questions and hopefully someone can help me out.

1. Would my family be able to come and live with me? Can they come with me right away or is their a waiting period?

2. My husband would not be working so I am wondering if there are any stay at home fathers at the compouds?

3. How long after an interview would I have to wait for a job offer?

4. Is there a high turnover at the Saudi Aramco schools?

I would really appreciate any help that is out there!

Thank you so much!!

1. Women are not allowed family status. Your family could come for visits, but not come with you at the beginning nor live with you full time.

2. There are no stay at home husbands because women are not given family status.

3. Timeline from interview to offer differs for everyone. Being a teacher you would at least know it would probably come before school starts.

4. There is some turn over, but I would not say a lot.

Thank you for your answer to my questions. I had my interview this past Saay and now I am just patiently waiting. If I am offered a job and do accept a position with Saudi Aramco I would like to know if there are other married women working with SA whose families are in the States? How long would I have to wait until my family is able to come and visit? I really do appreciate all of your help.

Thank you!
