It's a shame, really. They are looking for some fairly highly qualified people, but are not willing to pay them what they are worth. I'm pretty sure anyone with the education & experience they require could easily make double - triple this salary elsewhere...

Yeah, but you can be a total social misfit, screw up constantly, and as long as you show up for work, you have a job for life!

[Guest Rob & Jin]

how can they be paying less than minimum wage, isn't that illegal ?

Read it again. The salary for a US citizen with legal working status is

Not-Ordinarily Residents: FP-5 USD 41, 122 (Starting annual salary, final grade and salary will be determined by Washington)

41K a year in China is a kings ransom.

I did see that, but wasn't really putting it into perspective... that salary for that position is low for USA wages, but you are correct - in China that is a pretty good penny.

I'd work for that if I didn't have to live in GUZ.

Funny, to me that is one of the perks! To each his own.

What they consider "level 4" Chinese is TOTAL fluency. Think Native speaker with at least a high school education. Comparitively, to be a linguist in the military, only "level 2" (minimal fluency) is required. "level 4+" would be like a native speaker with a graduate degree in the language. Pretty stiff requirement. To be level 4 in English and Mandarin would almost require someone who had grown up in a multinational family, or had spent a great many years fully immersed in and diligently studying their non-native language.

What if one of our spouses decided to become a citizen, then move back to China for a while and work. Could she become a VO or is that a conflict of interest?

[Guest Rob & Jin]

Got my application in this afternoon, bought a book/CD "learn chinese mandarin in 30 days" figure it will take that long for the interview.

[Li & John]

Think they will hire me?

... and the Chinese requirement is for speaking BOTH Cantonese and Mandarin.
