Hello! I did the phone interview on Wednesday. It went well and I'm super excited. The interviewer was nice, polite and very personal. I look forward to traveling to Abu Dhabi. The moment I hung up I had more questions. I hope someone here will be able to help. The position is for January 2017 school year just an FYI. I want to know will I be able to travel home in case of an family emergency? I have two sons, one is set to guaduate high school next year 2017, he's in boarding school and will not travel with me, but will I be able to attend his graduation in June? What about school supplies, do I have to bring my own? What if I don't like the hosuing provided, can I move else where? I remember the interver asking about my drivers license and whether I'm comfortable driving in Abu Dhabi, do I need to purchase a car while there? the dress code, I don't own a skirt or dress that comes to my ankles, do every school require this? I know I will get vacation days, but what days? Thanks in advance

    Hi Unaza

    I received the email first and two-three days later the phone screening. This all just happened this week. Only a few days after applyin did I get a response. I was very impressed with the timing.
    The phone call went great they verified my qualifications, I answered a few questions about my teaching. Classroom management etc. Then we discussed everything from the airport I will be flying out of to my salary. I believe they said I would do a interview in the fall to start work in Jan 2017. Let me know if you have more questions

    Hey , Felicia, its great to hear back from you . Unfortunately most of my job applications got closed recently , so I went on asking questions out of curiosity that i might be missing on some important points I may have not included in my resume? Can you highlight your points? and moreover was your teaching license uploaded? which other documents you uploaded? I am hoping to upload my teaching license in a day or two .

    Best wishes,
    Unaza

    Yes I uploaded my license transcripts I pretty much did everything except my diploma. I would sure you have all of it uploaded. Make sure your references are complete and accurate. I believe they asked for two administrators. I think once you have everything complete your process will move along
