Thanks Turino,

I've read quite a few of your articles, so that is a compliment.

My question is this; regarding this "Hiring 10, having them fly to China, then taking the 3 or 4 best and sending the rest packing on their own bill"... how can a foreigner avoid this? My only idea (I think I mentioned it) was videoing yourself and sending it to them prior to you leaving. Then they can't say they were surprised that you weren't as good as they thought, or whatever.

What really surprises me is WHO is doing this. I'm not going to name names, because I don't want to really get that far involved, but some of the bigger training centers (and placement centers) that did not have this reputation before, are doing it now. It's sort of like the global rececision is the Candy Store, and these Chinese companies are the Kids.

It's sad, and confusing for me, because places I used to recommend to people, I'm afraid to.

Cheers!
