Working for Al Jazeera English
AS POSTED IN QATAR LIVING LOUNGE:
Hi, I'm interviewing for a job as promotions producer at Al Jazeera English in Doha. I saw that around this time last year there was an employee 'revolt' over working conditions - cancelled benefits, disrespectful management etc. I also saw that the managing director got replaced in May 2008.
Have conditions improved? Do they offer medical coverage, housing, flights to previous levels again? How is employee satisfaction these days?
Also: any idea what a fair starting salary is for a promo producer at Al Jazeera (2.5 years experience in making promos, 8 years overall industry)?
And last but not least: what's the cost of living like in Doha?
Any and all info would be highly appreciated, would love to hear from people who work there... Thanks in advance!

You can't teach experience...
"to previous levels again"??? maybe the current levels are good, and the previous levels were over-exaggerated...
p.s. I have no idea about current or previous level, but it's just an observation.
