Make sure you are told the salary, whether accomodation is provided- if not how much is the allowance, School fees, Car, Medical cover and 1 family return flight home each year. Accomodation and School fees are very high here. Oh and make sure the Arabic offer letter says the same as the English one before you sign!! Good luck :-) Answered on Mon, 02/11/2009 - 12:06pm

Ask about how long it will take to get your residence permit. Since you're an educator, I think it's useful to ask about the make-up of the student body, the curriculum of the school, the staff retention rate, pay raises/moving up salary scale (what are the requirements?), professional development allowances/opportunities, personal days, dress code, integration of technology into the classroom/school, language issues (level of ESL), if you can email/contact current AND former teachers there for their feedback... And I would definitely check out the schools rep on public forums (Qatar Living, International Schools Review, etc.). It's always informative to hear what people think about a school. Expect a fair amount of ax grinding, but you want to hear if it's over-the-top moaning and groaning or whether it's fair criticism. Answered on Mon, 02/11/2009 - 12:30pm
