If you want to work in China..!!

I remember when I started this post trying to express that it may be difficult to get a job in China without becoming a casualty of the process. I found a great post and replies with an update to Hainan Air recruitment I wanted to show you all. Here is the link:

I thought the details were very detailed and accurate to what the process is like. I also feel it would be good if people have a bad experience from an interview process to let us know here.

China is still hiring and the economy seems to be fairly good. Even though there are some factory shutting down here and there overall things are good.

The rub with getting a good job in China seems to be mainly in these areas.

1. Agency
2. Airline treating you fair and following agreements
3. Reimbursements
4. Poor contract terms
5. Misunderstandings leave the pilot holding the bag
6. Black balling pilots if they try to leave
7. Who is paying the tax
8. Chinese medical
9. Chinese written Exam

Just be careful and check out the agency and airline before you dive headfirst into it. You could waist months trying to land the job to end up with nothing in the end game.

Good Luck..!!
