Hello readers:
I just wanted to remind those to be extremely wary of this Chinese recruiter based in Shanghai who goes by a multitude of names. I suppose his base name is 'Frank', although I've been calling him 'Francessca' as of late because of his unknown gender and his propensity to talk like and portray a female. 'It' is based in Shanghai and actively recruits teachers from within China and abroad.

'It' has been known to be very aggressive in making false claims to teachers to goad them in coming to China under the pretense of working in a high-paying position in Shanghai. Time and again, he goes through with his bait-and-switch routine and attempts to place the prospective teacher in a much less desirable job in often unknown Chinese cities with low salaries and other pitfalls.

It's important to speak with the school and it's admin listed on the contract before commiting to come to China, in addition to contacting teachers currently working there (but do keep in mind that some teachers are paid off to speak favorably of the school they work for if it's reputation is dubious). Otherwise, the school that 'it' presents you most likely doesn't exist or is a very bad place to work. Be careful of this would-be felon and do the homework before coming to China. Peace.
