It was me asking user 'Wellohorld' if he's received any offer yet.

Hi BEXpat!

I am not sure the HR analyst in charge of my case is fully aware of the process and wanted to compare it with your experience.

Did ADNOC fly you out to just have the "pre-employment medical" or was this done at the same time as the f2f interview? Did they pick up the cost for this?
Was there an option to have the "pre-employment medical" in London?
I have been asked by the HR analyst to do the test in London and send the findings to them for ADNOC Medical team to review before asking me to resign (after I pass) and flyout for government medical / start job.
The pre-employment medical test list to be done in London is so long that even private medical companies I contacted are questioning whether I really need it for an office job and quoting me £1500 on average.

1. Laboratory Investigation: 15 tests (complete blood, hepatitis B, liver function, etc)
2. Other tests: hearing, lung function, vision + resting heart rate
3. Special tests: stress ECG, stool general
4. Radiology: chest x-ray

Was your experience similar.

Thanks in advance
CRES

I have to pay for medical tests here in the U.K. anyone else have to do this? Maybe it’s because of covid

Not unusual at all, as long as ADNOC reimburse you in full. I also had to do a very comprehensive medical in UK for QP back in Sept, though my agency weren't willing to reimburse me (I was furious at the time but it was a case of pay for your medical if you want a job). But if working direct for oc's then you're pretty much guaranteed 100% to get your medical costs back, assuming you pass the medical and have been given the green light to mobilize.



Out of interest, what package did they offer you? A month or two ago, they made me a improved offer of AED 30k per month plus 180k pa housing allowance (grade was changed from 14 to 15) but it still wasn't as good as QP so had to politely decline their offer again.

Anyhoo good luck with your new upcoming adventure with ADNOC. God I miss working in the deserts of Abu Dhabi... the deserts of Qatar are so boring in comparison lol

they are not reimbursing the cost. Offer was not the best either. But nvm. Your offer was better.

i can’t find anywhere in the U.K. that does these tests and will fill the form in. Any ideas???

Those who were successful after the panel interview, how did the status online change? Did it change from ''In Process'' to what? Also how long did it take for the status to change online?

I simply got a "congratulations you've been selected ......." email after I was successful...but this was almost 12 months after I had the skype interview!!! There's no fixed timescales as to when you'll get the good news (hopefully).
