I am definetly someone to research thoroughly before shipping off to China. Currently, I am in the process of wading through hundreds of job posts and the notorious recruiters where I have found something a little fishy.

These are just two of many similar answers found in the FAQ section of both these recruiters. From what I can gather, these aren't the same company (conspiracy anyone?) so I would like to think one copied from the other.

But which way did it go and why? Is New Times as reputable as most people say? Or is it Buckland who had creative difficulties?

If anyone has facts, information, hell why not rumour or speculation, I'd love to hear it. Cheers

22.Does a teacher has a special dress style?
A teacher is required to dress in a professional manner. This does not mean that they have to wear suits, but they should not wear tank tops, tongs, cut-offs or any other casual wear in class.

Don't be too surprised. I am very sure someone copied someone else's web site. Chinese are well-known for copyright infringements. For all we know, the quoted text may not even be the work of any of the two web sites.

Tw is right, watching the websites of several different companies is often amusing, as one updates thier text soon the others will copy paste any catchy phrases or descriptions of services, and it's not just chinese people that do this.
