In response to Re: Allestra Recruiting - Internship In China (fully paid) (Monitor)

First of all, thanks to all where due...

Silver Fox, I can decide policy on my own forum, but I can't do that here. I do feel that ESLTB at least goes to greater effort than most to block out the worst offenders, and I do respect that...as well as their right to set their own policies. They do at least also let us come on here and scream about what stinkers recruiters are...MUCH better than what happens on certain other well-known ESL forums.

Turnoi, I only disagree on one tiny point: I think it's perfectly fine to come to China on an L visa. It's just taking a job that will make you STAY on that L visa, by not getting you a Residence Permit, that is a bad thing and must be avoided.

What are so-called best jobs?

I fully agree that this is an individual and subjective thing, different for all of us.
All else being equal, though, I'd say it's a job that pays well...if we gonna be ho's, we mights as well be high-priced ho's. ;-{)
And 95% of the higher-salaried jobs I see listed are not found on the "international cattle-call" listing sites...they're on local and regional pages.

Worry for them, why should we?

Like 'em or not, they're human beings. And our fellow countrymen. Sure, there are some arrogant bastards who flaunt the law because they think it doesn't apply to them (should these people be teachers?), and some who are just plain stupid (should these people be teachers?). But most get into that situation because they don't really understand the risks and consequences of what they're doing. The Chinese police can be pretty nasty and merciless...and I don't want to see ANYONE in their hands unless they've committed a bona fide crime.
So yeah...I worry for them.
