Some time ago, I posted on here that I had been drawn into dealings that involved Frank Zhang. I had been approached about a job vacancy by someone named Xu Hui. At that time I had no idea that Xu Hui was in any way connected with Frank Zhang. Had I have known that, I would not have proceeded any further. However, I only came to know when Frank Zhangs name appeared on one of the e-mails I was sent in connection with the job in question.

By that time, however, the job application had progressed to the stage where I had been given the name and location of the employer and had been sent a draft of their employment contract. There was no reason for me to be suspicious at all. I took the trouble to contact the employer directly to check that the document copies I had been sent were genuine and was assured that they were.

I then asked for Xu Hui to agree to my direct contact with the employer to finalise my application, discuss details and agree terms. This agreement came straight away and I then had discussions with the employer that ultimately led to a recent offer of the job. The job is exactly as described in the e-mails Xu Hui sent to me initially and the form of contract is exactly as the draft that Xu Hui also sent to me. I might add that the employer is a highly reputable government establishment that employs several foreign teachers and I have been unable to find a single word of criticism of them in any of the school and recruiter reviews going back as far as their records allow.

In my experience I will say that the entire process was handled very correctly and professionally by Xu Hui. At no time was there any sign of anything underhand. At no time was the job vacancy suddenly switched to some other vacancy. At no time was I asked for money.

I cannot comment with any authority on the content of claims made by others about Frank Zhang and his associates. I can say, though that in my case at least, there has been not a single reason to doubt the honesty and efficiency with which my job application was handled. To those who may choose to accuse me of being in Frank Zhangs pay I say shame on you for your lack of intelligence and common sense. I wanted a job. I posted my resume. I was approached by many people. Xu Hui was one of those and I was treated correctly and efficiently, which is more than I can say for other organisations who also contacted me some of whom were blatantly dishonest.

This posting is very specifically backed up with fact and I do find it disappointing that so many people make blind remarks with not a shred of substantiation. Many of those complaining seem not to have had any personal experience of Mr Frank Zhang or his associates at all. Just empty vessels doing what empty vessels are good at doing. If you have something to say, then back it up or shut up.

If any of you cant accept that there is a different view or opinion other than your own very narrow one then tough! Like it or Lump It, for I will not be drawn into your childish and spiteful circle. The Hooligans as others choose to call you all.

Whatever you may say and no matter how nastily you may scream it - my personal experience of Frank Zhang and his Associate has been ok.
