Taipei Times: We don't want no foreigners working for us!

[quote=“almas john”][quote=“sandman”]Four pages. There’s a phone number on the ad. Anyone think to call and ask, or would that spoil the circle-wank going on here?

Wow!
Why such a Mr. Grumpy? You’ve made more than 25,000 posts on forumosa. Obviously these were all vital posts, quite unlike the superfluous ones in this thread.[/quote]
You’re starting to get the picture. I DID call the number and I know exactly why the ad is worded like that – they wanted no Kiwis, but felt bad singling out a particular race. We ALL suffered because of YOUR unsavoury predilections, in other words.[/quote]

Unsavoury Predilections
New Zealand UP!

The newspapers only hire ROC reporters, but will hire foreign copyeditors. But the pay is not worth the hassle.

They don’t really need a foreign reporter. A lot of their reporters are Taiwanese. The foreigners are the copy editors who have to fix the reporters’ English. In general, it is better there than at the China Post, where there are two foreigners to correct the abysmal English of the reporters (Taiwanese, but also some from the Philippines, because people from the Philippines have really good English, according to the boss), not twenty or whatever number they have at the TT.

Yes but the 20 or whatever they have at the TT are still not doing a good enough job! Quality vs quantity!
