    Regular Working hours: Monday to Friday, 9am-5:30pm (however, airport pickups might be in the evening or even night and at weekends as well, so willingness to work flexibly is a must. Overtime will be compensated with holidays)

    Office location: At the moment in Tongzilin, but moving soon

    Salary/Compensation: 2.300,- RMB/month plus insurance; overtime will be compensated with holidays; weekend trips with our clients will be covered by the company

    @Charlie: hope, this is sufficient – please let me know in case anything else is missing, thank you! 🙂

    My old receptionist earned more than that without a BA, and very little English 😀 But like Charlie said, best of luck to you!

    are you paying 2300RMB/ month (< USD400) for a professional?!?!

    in Chengdu, experienced waiters/waitress /bus or cab drivers with primary school background earn more than that.

    @ Charlie: thanks for your hint!:)

    we are not necessarily looking for someone with a BA-degree, a College degree would be sufficient, more preferably we are looking for a recent graduate. The salary is only for the beginning and of course, as in any other jobs, a salary increase depends on the performance of the employee.

    anyways, we provide training-on-the-job and a highly rewarding working atmosphere, so I would leave it up to Young Chinese people whether they want to apply for this job. 😉
