[quote=GUEST83415,530140]Bad experiences with and impressions of "Ameson". I can relate to many of the bad experiences mentioned already here. I sent an application and had an initial telephone interview. They gave me the impression they were very keen to hire me and scheduled a second telephone interview to assess my ability in my chosen subject. Prior to the second telephone interview, they sent me a contract of employment. The day before the subject interview, they sent an e-mail to say that they would have to cancel the arranged time, as the English literature "specialist", Tom, based at the Nanjing office, had been called to a meeting! I called back to establish when I could have the interview. The telephone etiquette was appalling in more ways than one. Suffice it to say, I was put on hold only to be answered by Tom himself. He proceeded in an extremely aggressive manner, hurrying me to have the subject interview immediately. I explained that I was actually at work and was calling to reschedule the interview. He said it would only take a few minutes so I agreed to have the interview at that moment. After he had conducted the interview, he told me that someone would contact me. A week went by and I called to find out the situation. They told me they had decided I would not have been happy in that position. They encouraged me to apply for another position with them later in my career. No thanks. Summary: Unprofessional conduct to send a contract before the decision has been made. Rude telephone manner. General impression of Ameson: disorganized and uncaring. General impression of the "AP" courses for Chinese students: not beneficial for the students. I wish the best for the students. They deserve a better service.[/quote]
