o All,
I am a candidate working through contingencies in my offer letter. I have been reviewing the two topics related to the ASC Talent Quest and found it very useful to find out what the application phases and timeline is. My wife and kids are curious as am I in what stage we are in our application in order to alleviate some of the anxiety in the relocation process. We get real time updates from Fedex and UPS with the status of our packages. It would be great if we had such a tool for the the application process also (just a suggestion). But for now, this will have to do.
I would like to propose a standard format for submitting candidate timelines to share. Please cut and paste your timeline and update it in your original post to keep the length of the post down and make it easier to read. The goal here is to help each other in making the transition to life in Saudi Arabia as smooth as possible by eliminating as much uncertainty from the process as possible:
