      Pros

      This is an amazing company that allows me to work from home and care for my young children. I teach early in the morning and have the rest of my day to do with as I choose. There are many opportunities to get connected with other teachers via social media or in person.

      Cons

      Because the students we are working with are on the other side of the globe, we have to teach earlier hours and have to be careful to get enough sleep.

        Pros

        VIPKID is a wonderful job teaching children in China English if you like to work from home. Build your own schedule either for mornings or nights. You will have most of the daytime hours off. Great Community of coworkers on facebook to help guide you as you learn. Workshops you can take to help train you.

        Cons

        Starting out can be hard because you are learning the ropes on your own, but you do have facebook groups to help and workshops you can take. Getting bookings can be tough in the beginning until you prove yourself because there are so many teachers to compete with.

        We’re glad you are enjoying yourself! Thanks for your comments!

      Hey, I have been applying since last 25 days but did not get any single interview call from any of the interviewers. I have been using personalized cover letter and resume for all job posting of Security Engineer. Not sure what should I do! Any tips would be highly appreciated :)

      I just finished a second round interview. I think it went well. I have a question if the interviewer towards the end asks personal questions like favorite sports team and other non work related questions. Is that a good sign? They didn’t mention anything about next steps at the end. They hadn’t in the first round either the recruiter reached out to my surprise for the second round.

      I just learned that having a "growth mindset" means doing the work of 3 people. . Is it just my experience? Is that what it means loosely?
