Hi

This will be my first experience in the Middle East.

Hi

Thanks for the honest feedback. To clarify, I am a single, female applicant and while I was indeed single when I signed the offer/contract, when I begin the teaching assignment I will be married. I would like to have my spouse live with me but I do understand that my new employer will not be responsible for his visa/airfare fees due to the fact that I signed the offer/contract as a single applicant.

I guess I didn't want my new employer to think I was dishonest by signing the offer/contract as a single woman and then prior to starting the teaching assignment trying to finagle them into paying for my new husband's visa/airfare fees.

Thanks again

Hi

I am currently single and I have been applying to jobs as such. This week I was offered a job in UAE and I accepted. My fiance and I have decided to marry in March 2015. How do I go about addressing this change with my future employer. I do not want them to think I was untruthful or pulled the wool over their eyes. My contract is single status and I would like to consider the option of switching to family status even though when I applied and accepted the offer this was not my status.

In the school's Search Associates profile, they indicate they Prefer Not to hire married couples and only one of whom teaches. Should I wait until I arrive in UAE, pass my probation period, and then try to independently bring over my spouse by applying for the visa and paying for the plane ticket. Or should I be upfront about my future change in marital status and let the chips fall where they do.

Thanks
