A light at the end of the tunnel
We had the most refreshing interview this afternoon. It was everything that you would expect from an interview in the west, just like a normal interview but after what we have been through the last two weeks in interviews it was like eating a big bowl fresh fruit after a long famine. The man that interviewed us was from Singapore. He was very thorough and spent a good half hour with us describing the company, what we would be doing there, what to expect as far as salary and benefits and getting to know us and our credentials. The other interviews we have had have been very different. Cultures clashing I guess you could say. In the other interviews it felt like pulling teeth to get any kind of information about the company, what our hours would look like, ect. It felt like they were trying to force us to sign a contract without knowing anything about what would be expected of us or what we could expect. We were also having a hard time trying to negotiate them providing us with the proper work visa as they saw no harm in working illegally, other visa's would be cheaper and easier to obtain. With this company we interviewed with today having the proper visa wasn't even a question and they would cover the costs for the visa as well as for us to take an overnight train to shenzheng and back to obtain the visa. The man interviewing us did not have the authority to hire us, he needed to discuss it with his boss but he said that he felt we would be a good fit. We have high hopes that we will be able to work with this company. We loved the atmosphere and felt like it was a reputable company. That is really important to us. We would start out there at 10,000-12,000 RMB. Other salaries have been quoted at 5,000-8,000. All of your prayers are much appreciated. We believe that as long as we are doing the right and honest things that God will bless us.
