Second you on that Ger. One thing that really annoys me is why can't /won't give out details on the phone and save everyone's time and energy. I mean that is why we have phones for god's sake.
William I would have been ropable after being kept waiting for nearly an hour. It is a good indicator of what the company is like |

| Dear Spiderman too- I'd go with the mouth one, and somehow work "English" into that phrase. The kicker is the friggin company is doing this, because they're loosing MILLIONS of dollars in contracts, so yeah 10,000 RMB per month MUST be too much.Daft! |
Could someone decipher this for me, please? |

"Chinese Logic"
Secret formula for success.
Only time will tell how successful it will be.
Imagine this: we must get an English teacher who's qualified enough to have a positive impact on our business but not so qualified (and experienced with China) that he would demand too high a salary, know how to avoid certain actions of ours that wouldn't be appreciated by him, etc. If you get an overqualified teacher, you can't tell him he's underqualified, because then he might tell people we're stupid to insult him like that, so there are only two options: just ask him to wait for an answer and then tell him another candidate has been selected, or tell him he's overqualified.
If the interviewer didn't want to deal with making a follow-up call or email, then option 2 would be her only choice. |

Surely she knew from reading your resume that you were over-qualified. Why bother inviting you for an interview?
