I finally got a provisional contract from the EMB this morning. woohoo! This whole ordeal was definately a rollarcoaster ride. I had a principal calling me at 3:00 in the morning to ask me interview-type questions because she thought she was calling australia (i'm in US-east coast). Needless to say, that conversation did NOT go well. I thought that was it. I should focus on going back to school. But then, this wonderful lady from a school in taipo called. She was so nice, and considerate of the time difference and now, i'm really excited to be working with her. I know I don't post often, but there were a couple of people who were really supportive and I just want to thank them.

Well done, my man! This just goes to show that it is quality that wins through in HK. A degree in education speaks for itself. Good to have you aboard!

Now prepare for a lot of fun and even more hard work!

for those who's a NET now, can you tell me if the special allowance (meaning all $10,500 of it) is included in your paycheck every month or is it something that you have to expense based on your rent?

Salary and special allowance are paid in one lump sum -- into your bank account.

OR Has anyone been contacted yet by the EMB for the Primary NET jobs which had an application closing deadline of 10/29/04. If you have been contacted by the EMB, could you please give me some information regarding your situation.
