The China Opportunity

[emsley]

Will.

 

I fully understand your post - your a fast thinker, and this can be good but sometimes bad too!

 

I think will is saying he feels a little let down here guys, it is a big thing for him after all and you have to understand his questions are merely out of security for him self.

He cant move from a message board to china now can he?

Thats why there is frustration here.

I'm just glad its not Japan he's thinking of going to.

I dont know you but from what I'm reading you need to dive into this situation and think about it later.

yeah, just move half way around the world with out ever talking to the boss, knowing what is required or even knowing what the company's name is! sounds like a solid plan....

I am sure Fatal would have share the company name, and what is required

I talked to Will a few days ago and he still did not have the company name. nor a solid idea of what exactly he would be doing. no job interview, no application, no background check, nothing like that.

 

I'm sorry but if I am running an operation bringing people from USA to China I'd have to know a lot about them and their backgrounds. Not just plucking people off internet forums....

Well, i thought Ryan has personally vouch for Will since both of them has talk numerous time on the phone and on Skype. i am sure the connection is more than internet forums there.

if you were running an operation like that, would you hire someone on the recommendation of another guy who had never really met the first guy? with out an interview? or references?

 

I dunno, I am just playing devil's advocate here. I'll bet it is a great opportunity. but after I talked to Will it raised questions for me and I am not even considering it.

 

Let me tell you a story. I have a friend who was working high end security at a casino. he's a likable guy and very smart in protection jobs. well this rich guy takes a liking to him. always requests my friend when he comes to the casino. after a while he offered my friend a job. sounded great, big money. a car and free apartment in Oregon. no real interview, no paperwork. just a handshake and vague job description. well he gets up there and guess what? the guy was a Mobster running a prostitution ring and my friend was supposed to be "security" for the Ho's. needless to say, he ran the risk of getting into serious trouble and didn't stay up there very long.

 

I'm not saying the china thing is anything that shady. but you have to be careful and protect yourself in these kinds of things.

 

Originally I was all for Will getting in to this. but as I heard more and thought about it. I'd pass myself.

Hmm, i'm not sure. I mean, if Ryan has the power to decide who to hire, he can always recommend the person to the big boss. That's how it work in big companies sometimes, through internal referral. No interview needed, just the person who recommend interview the guy again (normally 10 min business talk and 40 minutes nonsense) and the big boss maybe just 5 min talk or corresponding? What kind of interview you are looking for to be more sure?
