Getting mucked about something awful by this TSI Recruitment Group.
They now say they're holding interviews 11/12/13th April in London.
The money they are quoting @ £2800 per month is very poor for the Middle East, and after reading some of the experiences in this group I think I'll give them a miss.

You're only on site for 3 nights! - 4
There is guaranteed overtime - I haven't had one shift yet (6 months)
Al Hosn pay your utility bills - no they don't
Al Hosn pay half your food bills - nope
You get 35 shifts holiday a year - er....nope
Blah blah blah....
It's all bullshit. The lifestyle is good, but don't believe the hype.

If anyone has been promised anything by Vish or TSI, please put it on here and we'll let you know what's true and what's not!
If anything it should be good for a laugh!!!
But seriously, it's a massive move for you and your families, so you should be coming here fully aware of what to expect!

I would advise anyone seriously thinking of coming here to ignore everything TSI tell you and just message one of the lads on here for info.

The leave is, quite frankly, impossible to work out! So I'll give you a few examples:
You take one shift off = 1 days leave
You take two consecutive shifts off = 2 days leave
You take the last shift of your 4, and the first shift of your next 4 (so 2 shifts) = 6 days leave
You take one cycle off (4 days) = 6 days leave
You take 2 cycles off (8 days) = 12 days leave.
Their argument is, you have to submit as many days leave that you are off - including days where you where off anyway!....apart from when you take 4?????????

I bet people don't stick with them very long when they are going on like that.

That's presumably partly why the annual leave entitlement is generally higher than in (say) the UK. It looks very generous until you realise the catch...
