I seem to have more difficulties landing any position on mainland than before. It seems to have gradually gotten worse. In 2001, it was a piece of cake on mainland. In 2005, a bit more difficult and employers weren't as open anymore either. Nowadays, it's really tough, never mind the poor contractual agreements we are to sign. Employers do not seem to be openminded at all. It's like you take it or leave it. To them it seems that internet is the solution. Also, I seem to have noticed that worries if I speak Chinese as it may not be an advantage for the job for some reasons. Well, I do not use my poor Chinese in classrooms, but I do observe the office talks more and more often. :)
Cheers and beers
