I'm new here and I hope this post is up to the standards here.
I'm in discussions with Jiangnan University - Lambton College now regarding a position as an oral English teacher there, Wuxi is the city. After a bit of searching, I've found some very disagreeable comments about this college at another site but nothing here on Dave's site, only postings for a few jobs.

Does anyone have experience with this college? Is it worth getting my hopes up for a position there or should I keep looking?

Okay, so they appoint a snitch. I've taught in places where snitches don't have to be appointed by the FAO.

you should really look harder next time.

Lambton Jiangnan University - AVOID IT

It's not much but it's better then nothing and it only took 10 seconds to find.[/quote]

Thanks in a round about way but did you think I didn't spend time searching? I saw the box up on the right, I searched 'Lambton', Lambton Jiangnan University' and even 'Lambton Jiangnan University - AVOID IT' after your reply but nothing comes up regarding the post you linked to in your vaguely churlish reply.
Of course, as I have now discovered, there is a separate search engine for the forums. Seeing as how I did say that I was 'new here' maybe it wold have been helpful to suggest using the forum search engine instead of the site search engine. Admittedly that wouldn't have given you the fleeting air of superiority that you seem to desire but it would have been helpful...or isn't that point of these forums? Maybe I missed something on the way here. I will now bow and stoop as I back out of your presence kind sir.

Grow a thicker skin, dude.

It is an anonymous online forum, where people are free to say and act as they see fit.

The reply didn't seem all that churlish anyway. How was he to guess that you have not used a forum before?

I remember Jeff. He seemed like a fairly sound guy. If he says the place is the pits, then I should avoid if I were you.
