I understand that it can be extremely frustrating looking for work, especially with low time and no commercial experience. It is not easy for people with the "unmarketable" type ratings or licences from non JAR states either.

I would caution people about making decisions which have contractual repercussions five years from now based on a situation which will have changed probably three weeks from now, especially in a country where you have effectively NO legal rights, cannot buy property (at the mercy of the landlords), can be deported at the company's discretion, and with a company which has a reputation for promising much (always with a "situation might change") and delivering very little in terms of career advancement.

Lowering the bar is often seen as a solution to staffing problems, but does not solve the fundamental problems.

If you want to sell yourself into slavery, go ahead. You have been warned.
