Hello, all!

Has anyone heard of/had experience with Foshan Golden Key? I have had some talks with them regarding potential employment, but I can't find anything at all on them other than their all-in-Chinese website (www.gkey.cc). I find that strange for a company that says it has been around for nearly a decade. Per conversations, they are offering:

5000 RMB/mo for 1st 3 mos probation period, to be increased afterward according to "job quality"

Lunch will be provided

Single room will be provided, with shared bathrooms and kitchen with a Chinese staff


Flight Ticket:

Single ticket will be provided for those who stay over 6 months;

Return ticket will be provided for those who stay over 1 year;

On the condition of completing 12 month contract, Golden Key will offer 3 days 3/4 stars hotel accommodation in Beijing trip.



Anyone with any info, particularly REAL/ACTUAL experience with them would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a newbie and am trying to decipher how to find the legitimate jobs about the world and avoid the horror stories that so many have had.

THANKS!

Also, what are the recommended ways/sites to find the legitimate jobs that will not screw you over? I'm ready to go overseas, but all this research for months and months is exhausting, and it seems people don't post where they found the GOOD jobs, or what schools/recruiters were GREAT experiences. HELP!!!!

Most other schools offer an apartment with private kitchen and bath.
The idea of "shared bathrooms and kitchen with a Chinese staff" would be enough for me to not consider this school.

Not strange at all. They may never have had any foreigners working there in the past and even if they did finding nothing about them online is normal. May even have changed their name once or twice in the past decade. Who knows.

Foshan isn't a bad place to live though. Close to lots of other places but small enough to be relatively enjoyable.
