 |
|
Hi all,
My partner and I have recently had a job offer from Rizhao Foreign Language School. After looking around we have found very little info on the school, has anyone out there had any experience with them?
The best we've come up with so far is googling their number and apprently they are a branch of English First...?
One last thing, the school has asked us to phone them. Is this a bit of a red flag, we are new to this and were always under the impression that the school should phone us.
Thanks for any help!

I don't know anything about EF schools but Rizhao is a great smaller city: very clean and modern, with wide uncrowded streets. It's on the sea, and (unlike Lianyungang down the road) the beach is free, though when I visited the whole beach was closed due to a typhoon!.
Also you are not far from Qingdao and other places of interest in Shandong.
Rizhao would be a great place for a first job in China. |

sorry to have taken this out of your context, but there's something really familiar to me there. i've worked for EF a while back and i can tell you that both EFs that i've worked for in china were greatly unprofessional..to the point, both opened their "clones of EF". unaware fts were to sign "some company" contractual agreements and then moved up and down from one to the other school to teach. nowadays, it's even easier to clone like that as their headless office doesn't monitor their franchisees' activities as they did 7-8 years ago.
a word of advice; don't sell yourselves short and don't facilitate such process of copycats in this country
cheers and beers |
