Sabic by thesuz

Does anyone here work for Sabic in Saudi? If so, how long did it take from the interview to the start date, generally speaking? I'm just curious how long the hiring process typically takes.

Oh cool. Thank you for letting me know. My husband has spoken with Sabic. No news yet. But praying it ultimately leads to us moving. Read More

What kind of tests once you arrive? I have a friend who went there with her husband and she did not have a chest x ray when she landed. Not sure about blood work. But, I've read otherwise. What do wives and dependents have done once they arrive? Read More

XTang, You said that TB scars look "very very different" on X-rays. My question, if someone has never had TB and that is documented, but has two lung nodules (from non-infectitious reasons/no diseases, etc), would they be allowed in ... Read More
