Searching is STILL On...


Found a job in Sudan - Khartoum. Same place as Iceman. Of course la different company. Tho' the job title is lower than now - Document Controller cum Admin Assistant, it's ok with me if they're paying me well + other benefits.
But, a few things i have to consider if they decided to choose me :
a) The salary they'll offer - is it a lump sum amount, which they only covers
a few benefits & the rest will be under my own expense or they offer me with
low salary & covers all benefits or they offer me quite reasonable salary
with 50-50 coverage of benefits
b) Culture - I know their ground rules towards expats. Those which i search in
the net only mention non-Muslim expats. What about Muslim expats? Do i have
to wear the abayas like their ladies? Or is it up to me as long as not
showing my cleavage, wear something loose (loose pants + shirt), shirt /
blouse must be 3rd quarter or long sleeve. This is their sudanese woman : & this is their Sudanese Man :
c) The house rental there is about RM12K per month for a 2-room apartment. I
havent found studio type or 1-room apartment yet. Hope this 1 will be
covered by the company & hopefully they'll give me the semi-furnished type
d) Utilities cost.
e) Annual Leave given i.e Home Leave - is it going to be once a year or once
every quarter of the year
f) Other benefits - sick leave, medical & dental coverage, allowances, OT,
pilgrimage, emergency leave, etc...etc...etc...
Hmmm.... i was thinking this morning. I am prepared to go there. Whatabout the company itself, do they prepared to send a woman to Sudan? How about my family??? Are they well prepared?........
