Post subject: where should i work (or not work?)

I need the advice of the group. Last week the American software company I have worked for since May of 2006 decided to cut back even more, and the training department in which I work will cease to exist after July 31st. I taught English and "soft skills" to Chinese IT workers. I have eight years of teaching experience in three countries, a bachelors degree, CELTA certificate, lots of references, blah blah... I really enjoy teaching, and training in a corporate setting is where I feel the most comfortable.

I posted my resume in a few places, and have been overwhelmed with emails and phone calls from schools near and far, wanting to hire me. I would rather work in-house for a corporation rather than for an English school. I am thinking to contact companies directly to apply that way.

Does anybody know of any big corporations in Shanghai that do in-house training? I know Microsoft has lots of "partner" companies, and I actually spoke to one of them today. But if anybody knows of a stable, reputable company (Chinese or otherwise) that does in-house training, I would appreciate hearing about it. I live in Puxi on Line 4, but would go to Pudong if the right opportunity came along.

You can pm me or reply here, either way is fine.

Thanks,

Andy

it is impossible to know about when the opportunity comes...
u could firstly pick up an inferior one, and then wait for the senior one...
good luck Smile
