china and the professional life
as you may have noticed via le blog, my life has recently become a lot more sinocentric.
for some of you, this may be interesting as you’re looking to learn more about china really make sense of this complex conundrum that is la chine. and for those of you who have heard enough about china from me, i promise i’ll post about something else soon too 
anyway, the main point of this post was to expand on my earlier entry about recruitment in china. @aimeenbarnes is a great writer who has written some really interesting posts about china and her experiences and insights. her most recent post on Falling in Love with China … and your career really touches on many key points that hold true not only for the china market, but in interpersonal relationships and careers everywhere.
In short, if you have your eyes set on china, learn chinese (i know aimee says this isn’t really an absolute must but in my opinion, if you really want to learn about a country, knowing its language and the nuances that are involved are key), read, visit, and talk to people.
