If the NET Scheme recruitment process is any indication, then:

a) the August orientation will be in late December.

b) the EdB will notify you on the morning of the orientation, giving you 20 minutes to travel to the site and check in.

c) the location of the orientation will have been moved by the time you arrive at the venue that you were directed towards.

d) your paperwork will have been lost, requiring you to resubmit all documents.

enjoy! Cool

Serious Fun, your paperwork photos are inspired. How long have you been in Hong Kong? You know our bureaucratic system painfully too well. I never go through it without thinking of Little Dorrit and Charles Dickens' hilarious (and frightening) rendition of the Circumlocution Office. Let all NET applicants beware.

In preview mode, the censor aspect of this program will not allow the author's full name to be displayed. I hope everyone knows which Victorian author I am referencing. He also wrote Oliver Twist, if that helps.

Thanks for the comment, but I cannot take credit for images that I find online! They are funny though...

I just arrived here-- I made the move from Taiwan a few weeks ago, and then found my own position at a school once I had arrived.
