Moving back to China: Working at XJTLU
« on: April 13, 2012, 05:22:34 PM »
I've got a job offer from Xian Jiaotong Liverpool Uni in Suzhou Intl Park. I tried asking on the other forum and found one guy who worked there. There are about 80 or 100 FTs there now. If anyone has any info, please let me know. PM, write here or email me on naturegirl321@yahoo.com

Thanks so much!

I remember the school now. Try http://raoulschinasaloon.com/index.php?topic=6259.0

I know we have one member who worked there, but he's not around much anymore...

I only found three threads on XJTLU though.

I've searched for
XJTLU
Xi’an Jiaotong – Liverpool University
Xian Jiaotong – Liverpool University
Liverpool

All I could find were three topics. What am I doing wrong?  ananananan

Recently, I, too have heard it's a good gig other than how far out of (Suzhou) town it is.

Old stories of how things WERE, aren't necessarily accurate as to how things ARE. These places were just getting set up 5-6 years ago. Some/many of them have heard the heat and have adjusted their staffing and policies accordingly. Small training centers maybe not, but the larger enterprises, yeah. I seriously doubt that XJTLU is going to be f*****g with people's pay in 2012.

Eh, as long as I can get fruit and veg I should be fine. I hear they have a library and book exchange as well. Internet might be an issue. I imagine I'll be getting hidemyass.com

I know that how things were and are are very different. My uni here WAS good, NOW there's major turnover due to things like, hm, let's cut your pay 2 weeks before the school year.
