Teaching in the UAE: If you have experiences you would like...

I am also very much interested in knowing about interview,especially phone interview.Can anyone tell me how they are conducted ? Please respond.

The money is good,, generally you will be placed in a "safe compound" little chance of socialising or partying.. and censored intenet connection.. bit of a prison sentence really,, but you collect a tidy sum at the end.

Females generally have a bit greater hardship to endure outside the formal school setting. The entire UAE is very much a "man’s world" and that takes females from some cultures by surprise. Living conditions and such tend to be "good" in a relative sense of the word. If your AC goes out in the hot months the Haris is the "goto" person and it never hurts to tip him a couple of dinar. If you can work through the culture shock you will be fine. I know Women who have worked in the UAE for over a decade and enjoy it. "Here" you will most likely be able to afford a Maid which is something few teachers in the west can claim. In large, it depends on where your school is, e.g., village or more city-like setting. There should be some experienced female teachers at your school who can help you get oriented and settled in.

Hi everyone! Is it ok for teachers to bring their cat(s) to the UAE? Thanks ;)
