Hello All:

Would anyone have any info they can provide about either Hunan Science and Technology Professional College or China Connextions? The most burning question: How reputable is either organization.

Regards,
Rossco

I never heard of these schools. I am sure they are some local private colleges. Not a good sign.

If they call themselves "China COnnextions (sic!)" then they have a serious problem with English, and in this case, I would refrain from offering my service to them!

As an addendum, I would like to mention a HK-based outfit calling itself 'china Connections" or something similar, and they have been flamed on this forum a couple of times in the past!

China Connection Education Services, based in HK? They've been pretty good - to me, anyway. Admin's a bit of a mess, and of course, they are in the blood-sucking business. But that's agencies for you. Certainly, they've been a far cry from the nightmare stories that surface on this forum from time to time.

First it is a private school in a rural province. Two red flags.

They do not have a web site. Third red flag.

I am unable to locate their ad on the three major recruiting web sites for China. fourth red flag.

The best way to find out the current scoop is to ask them for the names and email addresses of current and former foreign experts they have employed. If they refuse, FATAL RED FLAG. If they give you the contact info, shame on you if you do not follow up and wind up unhappy.
