i have a job offer from al khaleej education and training in riyadh. i need to know is this a good, reputable company to work for? also need to know about their family housing - is it comfortable,relatively maintenance free, good for children. due to arrive in early febuary 2013. your advice is greatly appreciated.
I am unable to comment on that specific employer.
It might be an idea to ask the employer to put you in touch with some former or current employees so you can get a better insight into the requirements of the job before you arrive. It will show them that you are keen and proactive.
However, you can have a read of the Expat Arrivals Working in Riyadh page to find out more about the job market in Saudi Arabia's capital and what you can expect from an employer.
You can also take a look at this article on a Comparison of expat salaries in the Middle East.It will give you a good idea about how much you can expect to earn and what other benefits might be included in your contract.
Good luck with the move to Riyadh. I hope it all works out with the new job.
