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... Link to comment

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! Link to comment

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. Link to comment

Jeikun Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 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? Link to comment
