Hi there,
nice to see that some life is getting into this thread, especially after it has been linked directly on the website (
www.HNA-OVERSEAS.com/index/Community.aspx).
The idea is to have a transparent post, where we all can openly discuss and where the negative reported points can be taken up for improvements.
I have here an example of the JUNE Recruitment planning, which some applicants received:
Candidates arrive in PEK - 2014-06-07 / 2014-06-08:
Depending on flight availability candidates will arrive in PEK and picked up at the airport by the CROWN PLAZA Hotel Shuttle and receiving an information evenlope.
NOTE: Arrival time cannot be after 20:00 LT PEK to allow 48 hours body recovery for CAAC Medical check on Day 2.
