Hi dhodge, what is the position offered to you by Al Ghafly? I believe we are in the same batch interviewed in UP Solair last month.

yap iceman, sabay tayong na interview dun. they offered me a position of Project Engineer 6,500 dirhams basic with free accomodation and transportation. How about you pre? Ano position and salary mo? tnx for reply

They offered me mechanical engineering works and would be the head of their mechanical engineering division. The agency called me salutatorian for having offered a salary second to the highest during that batch interview. But don't get me wrong its not that high, i'm just a little more higher than you would received.

likewise here, free accommodation, transpo allowance and communication allowance. I already communicated with some friends in Abu Dhabi and confirmed that there is an option to take accommodation allowance and look for a better and cheaper one.

What is now the status of your requirements?

tnx for the reply, my authenticated documents (TOR and Diploma) will be issued on me on March 8 in DFA, but actually i have considered an other option in other agency and please don't tell it to Mr. Rexy of Fil_HR i already took my medical last April 4 and it was ok. The other employer offered me 10,500 Rials as Project Manager in a Consulting firm in Riyadh while in dubai the employer Terrazo offered me Family Status and all allowances is free but the basic is only 4,500 dirhams that is why i am considering the offer in Riyadh, but i am still thinking working with Al Ghafly coz it is an open country and its salary is seems ok. Have you already contacted Fil HR or do you have already a Working Visa? Also, have you talked to your friends in UAE regarding the company? Tnx sir for your reply. God Bless...

My Visa is now under process, medical result is satisfactory good and fit to work. My authenticated docs will be released tomorrow from DFA. My friends there told me to grab the opportunity and as far as they know all General Contracting firm there are really big, they are not just an ordinary contractor but also doing the management aspect. Though their website is under construction you can noticed in the web that other company considered Al Ghafly a big player in construction.

I believe all engineers are entitled to family status (after a year), they are offering me such but decline for i need somebody to look for our business.

BTW, I have this information that engineers who used to work in Saudi before that are now working in UAE considered it as a way lot better and they will no longer back to Saudi anymore. Well..... ofcourse it will depends on the company where you are going in.

good to hear it sir, right now i am having a second thought in riyadh but i have to make a decision and i have informed fil_hr regarding this. anyway let the Good LORD guide us and bless us in our journey in seeking good opportunity in other country.

By the way sir, how many days is usually the processing of work visa after you have completed all the necessary documents? tnx sir.

I already accomplished all necessary documents. it was sent to POEA yesterday. Just waiting for the visa and plane ticket in about 2 to 3 weeks time. This coming May 1, there are 3 pax that will sent there by Fil-Hr. but they are from the previous batch ahead of us. Our batch at SolAir most probably be sent there perhaps end of May.
