[QUOTE=Laurie89;78596612]I have to email everything to Sabis by the 30th of May too, and I don't finish my exams until next week and I don't get my results until June and I'll literally be in the middle of Nowhere for the summer working on a kids summer camp that has no internet, so it will be interesting if I can get everything sent off on time I'm also leaving for the middle of nowhere on the 25th of May so I have a week to get things sorted.

Is there many people on here going to Kalifa City A in Abu Dhabi?

I am literally in the exact same position as you, however I am not going to be going away in summer!

But I wont be able to get certified letter from college either till next week when i finish exams, i was going to get the letter though on tuesday, and head to dublin to get stamped by DFA first and then just give it to the arab chamber, because i think they are suppose to keep it for 5 working days and then send it back?

Are you going to Khalifa City A too??

I'm planning on heading up to Dublin too next week to get my thing stamped. They can keep it for a few days if they want but I want to make sure they actually get the thing in the first place The amount of letters and packages that I have lost in the mail this year alone is beyond me... haha
However can I not just go into the Foreign Affairs office here in Limerick (where I'm from) and get them to stamp it? Dose it have to be the Dublin one do you know?

Well I had my interview in January and I didn't hear anything until April, so they seem to be a bit slow on letting people know stuff.
Have you been placed in a particular school yet, or is that one of the things you're waiting to hear back about?

Yeah that's true, I had my first interview in January as well and they got back to me on the 29th for a 2nd interview, I think i'm now waiting for them to get back to me whether i've got the job or not because I don't know whether I passed the second interview. I've spoken to a couple of people on FB and apparently there's a couple of people that haven't heard back yet but should be hearing something in the next couple of days.

Did you apply for the UAE?

Would you consider ringing them to find out? Or just to push them along in the right direction? I rang the guy who interviewed me, a few times, because I was told I'd hear by a certain date and I didn't I heard 3 weeks later, so I know how annoying it is waiting around to hear for definite. Is there anyone in particular you've been emailing that you could ask?

Yeah I applied for the UAE, but I may have gone about it differently than most people. I was over visiting my sister in Dubai for Christmas and strolled into a SABIS school asking about jobs and applications. So I did my face to face interview over there and that was the only interview I did, the guy who interviewed me said there was no need to do a phone interview when I was there and willing to travel to Sharja for my interview. I told him the UAE is really where I wanted to go... mainly Duabi as 'I have a strong support system already in place there with family and friends' well that's what I said to them any ways

Have you applied for the UAE too??

I don't know the name and number of the recruiter who called me but I am in contact with a recruitment officer Claire, who said someone should be getting back to me soon.

That's good, have you specified anywhere in particular or just the UAE? That's really good that you managed to go to a Sabis school and get a Face to Face interview! I guess that must have saved alot of time and you gave a decent answer by mentioning you had a strong support system which is always a plus and yeah I applied for the UAE and wanted to ideally go for Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but from what i've heard from other people places have been filling fast.

Have you chosen Primary or Secondary?

I've been in emailing a Claire too, she's been quite helpful I asked for Dubai because family and friends live there. During the interview I said I'm open to going anywhere but Dubai would be my number one choice, if I got to choose, obviously I knew I may not get it, but I am actually delighted with getting Abu Dhabi, close enough to family and friends without being to close to them... if that makes sense?? haha
I just finished my degree there two days ago and I am now a qualified science teacher for secondary schools, however with SABIS I could end up teaching any age. How about your self, primary or secondary?
I wouldn't worry to much about places filling up quickly, a girl I know, just got placed two or three days ago in Abu Dhabi.

Just to keep everyone posted, as promised. I just got my documents back from the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce. I only posted them last Wednesday so it was quicker than I expected. That's all three stamps sorted and have just emailed them off. Yay
