I just saw this on Craigslist NY Writing Jobs. I’ve become rather skeptical of a lot of Craigslist postings. Does anyone want to check it out and report back as to whether it’s actually legit? Just an fun project for a snowy day if you have time.

Jobs in China?
Advice, Career, Japan Trends, Jobs Comments Off on Jobs in China?
I recently returned from a trip to China, and it occurred to me that China felt in many ways like Japan felt to me when I was there in the early 90s: Modernized, but also somewhat untamed and pregnant with opportunity. A good amount of structure, but also a sense that it’s not all figured out yet either.
With that in mind, I was wondering if some segment of the JET alumni community is now turning to China for job opportunities? If so, let me know or post a comment below on your thoughts or experience.
Meanwhile, I noticed a China jobs site called China Splash (http://www.chinasplash.com/index.html). I’m sure there are others, but figured I’d at least share the one I’m aware of.
