It would be wise for recruiters in the industry to avoid unscrupulous operators such as Rajesh Sehgal.
I see what your getting at, but there is a big buck in the recruitment industry in China, so i doubt that will change.

You are right. It is not for me that I expose this cretin of a louse. It is to bring to light the additional trap that lures even the most cautious of us teachers. Rajesh Sehgal represents the lowest of people who traffic education as a benefit to others but plan to operate at the lowest of standards. It would be wise for recruiters in the industry to avoid unscrupulous operators such as Rajesh Sehgal.

Ivan Milat ...serial killer extraordinaire ... Belanglo Forest grave digger ... mate, didn't get your email, otherwise would have replied to such a notorious murderer. How many did you kill, anyway, mate? Anyway, let me bring you up to date about dear little Rajesh Sehgal. He contacted me by email and immediately offered me the job of starting his new school for international primary kids in Shaoxing. He asked me my salary. I told him RMB20000 plus airfare prepaid and accommodation for me and wo de laopo. He came back and offered RMB18000 and I accepted after more haggling. But we had a contract signed and I bought my F visa which was to be changed to Z when in Zhongguo. Then things started to stink...to smell fishy...and a couple of times I demurred about the job but Rajesh Sehgal always came back and convinced me that he was a fabulous fellow and that I could always trust him. But there was that nagging feeling that this bloke was promising things too easily, too quickly and I smelled a rat. Anyway, it is a long story and a week before due to fly out Rajesh booked my flight [he was paying] and told me to pack. Three days before flight time I still hadn't received my ticket and I emailed Rajesh a couple of times until three days before departure he emailed me to say I was too old. I then perused the job pages and saw all the adverts for my job... at a salary of RMB12000.. I even received an email from Jim Altrans of Gold Star Recruiting, advising me to apply for the job I already had. I emailed Rajesh and he bullshitted me ...Oh no, Mr Adrian, that was a mistake. Ho ho ho! Then the email that I was too old. I would have been more impressed were Rajesh to have told me he couldn't afford me. But then Rajesh Sehgal is a liar, a cheat and cannot be trusted. Shaoxing International School ...I wish them luck but with Rajesh Sehgal at the helm, I doubt it.

You have my sympathy. This can happen to anyone, not only an older teacher. The internet and local ethical values are most likely to be blamed here. Local employers have no shame and the internet only enhances their poor potential. If I were you, I would use the visa and seek another opportunity at some University. I strongly believe there are going to be quite a few Uni employers in a somewhat similar situation as you are. Teachers don't show up too, do they? In my school a FT came for one day, and then he decided to make a broad daylight run. I saw him ,or shall I say walking, with a smile and a cooking pan to a bus sop. The local market is a huge jungle and the regulators have only added few more local monkeys in.
Cheers and beers to crocs and monkeys in mainland education :)
Some months ago, out of the blue, after I had posted my resume on ESLTEACHERSBOARD, Rajesh Sehgal contacted me and without ado offered me the job as Principal/DOS/Administrator of the Shaoxing International School. It's a long story, but I was due to fly to Shaoxing this coming Wednesday, and I had not been given my air flight ticket number by Rajesh. I emailed a few times and eventually, late last night, Rajesh emailed me to inform me that I was too old. After all this time; after months of negotiations; after I had my Business Visa, Rajesh Sehgal decides that I am too old. Suddenly I had become a too old person...suddenly ...
Do not trust Rajesh Sehgal.
