Re: Update From a Recuirter Regarding China

In the meantime, the Chinese government changed the rules about dependents. Now they can obtain a visa and come to China.

Thank you, everybody,

I am in my new school (the first one), quite unhappy, because I ruined my chances with another school, which offered much better conditions. All I wanted is to be honest and fair.

I should have been smarter and questioned things more.

Psyguy, I need an advice, urgently! The situation is quite similar to the previous one.

5 days ago I was offered a job and received a conditional contract to sign within two days, which I did. No signature from their side, though. They told me they need a teacher ASAP. I've told my employer that I will be leaving soon and started organizing my trip.

I haven't received a confirmation from the first school, and then I noticed something odd in the e-mail which led me to conclude that they've sent the same conditional offer to another teacher as well. That doesn't seem professional to me, but I might be too naive!?

In the meantime, I've had a Skype interview with another school and foolishly told them that I was not available (anymore). They interviewed me anyway and I like this school much more.

Should I call the first school and try to rush things (and possibly ruin my chances for being impatient) or ignore what I have signed and try to get the offer from another school?

Thank you for the advice!
