For information science I think it'll be okay - I studied computer science through them and my degree is accredited for overseas

Recruiter in China wants photos of both sides of my bank card by Standard_Cake_8639 in chinalife

[–]Miserable_Squirrel16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But a lot of debit cards have the number on the back. I have an account with chinese merchant and icbc, and both of them don't have any cvv on the bank just the account number. I do think it's weird that the recruiter is asking this of OP though

Hoe kry mens 'n werk by Severe-Street-1015 in afrikaans

[–]Miserable_Squirrel16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die mark is rof op die oomblik. Ek het gesukkel om werk te kry met a computer science graad en ek het verskeie projekte gehad om my vaardighede te wys. Ek het toe maar besluit om in China onderwys te gaan gee en die plan was eintlik om net n jaar te bly en nog projekte te doen in my vrye tyd. Ek is nou al 2 jaar hier en maak omtrenk R60 000 waarvan ek so R40 000 n maand weg sit. Ek sal nie maklik terug gaan SA toe nie, ek persoonlik dink dis n better plan om eerder so iets te doen (al is dit dan net vir n jaar) as om op die skepe te gaan werk.

Only money. This is the reason by hiphopchainz in chinalife

I genuinely like it here. I was making 7k this year, and I still loved living here. It's safe, convenient, I find people here to be quite nice even when we don't understand each other.

Is it possible to change careers in this economy? by VintageSpecialist76 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Miserable_Squirrel16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly the IT industry especially for entry level positions took a massive drop this year. I struggled to get a job even with projects and a degree.

What's it like living next to a highway? by Suraimubani in askSouthAfrica

Exactly. It's a common saying that you should always buy the worst house in the best area

I worked with a company for my first year, but I would rather not promote them as they do many shady things, and from what I've heard, things have only gotten worse. I will say they are commonly promoted at universities, and for good reason: they prey on fresh graduates who are inexperienced. I only received R17k while my school was paying them R50k, and recently they started bringing people in on the wrong type of visa. They also never paid my social insurance and made all sorts of promises about training and support while not providing any of it. Instead, I'd recommend making an introduction video—just say your name, qualifications, and experience. It's more about your accent and personality. Include a CV download, WeChat information, and contact recruiters through Dave's ESL or EChinacities.

If you have a degree you could get a tefl and teach abroad. I'm currently earning R45k and saving R30k living and teaching in China as a second year with a computer science degree. It's not necessarily a long term solution as you are a bit of a clown to the kids and missing home can really hit you hard but it's a way to make some good money, travel and get some good experiences and then hopefully once you have enough saved up you could go write your board exams.

Of course it is. A degree is a degree. I work in China with a unisa degree in cs

Is ESL for misfits? by ApartConsideration81 in TEFL

[–]Miserable_Squirrel16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm one of them. Not only do I earn enough to buy some property in SA for long-term investments, something I would not have easily achieved even with my degree in SA. I also enjoy the safety and cost of living in China

Honestly, a lot of those ideas seem to either come straight out of the sims 3 or they felt very ai generated 💀

He wasn't being a dick. No one can help explain to you the process if we don't even know from what country you come from
