[The Local Dialect]

Just because it needs repeating -- NEVER pay an agency to find a job. Using a recruiter is bad enough, but you should never ever ever have to pay for some company to "place" you in China. It is absolutely a ripoff. Look at the ads on this site, look at other sites, search around. There's no reason why anyone with at least a college degree shouldn't be able to find a job in China, and if you're not properly qualified, paying $1000 is not going to help the situation.

Thank you for your response. Yes indeed, reg flags.

Thanks, TLD. It DOES need repeating...often and loudly. Recruiters are bad news and must be avoided!

I bumped into a few recruiters during my job search and found them to be a large waste of time.  The fact that I don't hate them may be the result of short exposure.    I do like chinatefl, technically not a recruiter.  The Uni I accepted for my first China job found me there.

But back to the OP.  Wow, what a great read.    It took me over a year of scouring the net to figure out what you wrote in a single post.  What took you so long??

This is a great post (could've sworn I already said as much) - It wasn't til mid-June that I got a response from the more desirable positions/locations, patience is a virtue (a systematic approach to emailing unis is also handy).
