Job Posting from a Friend

I generally don’t do this, but Yang Meng is so special to me so I promised to post a job for him to my expat community, although I warned him not many people are still following this blog. :-) Here you go.

Started by a few ex-Googlers in 2009, Anker set out with one goal in mind: to design reliable, affordable yet inspiring products which we would use ourselves. Today Anker has 100+ employees globally, spread among Changsha, Shenzhen, San Jose, Tokyo and Beijing.

We’re passionate about technology and looking for ways to make life easier, more convenient, less consumed by the day-to-day. Anker thrives on the enthusiasm of a hardworking, earnest family of employees. If you’re looking for a job to challenge, inspire and reward you, we’d love to sit down and start talking about adding you to our team. We could be reached via recruiting@ianker.com.

  1. Hello, I ran into your blog while on vacation in Shanghai, suffering from respiratory issues from severe fatigue, and wanting to look up the raining season as to research if today’s rainy weather is why I feel like I am very sick…

    Then, I ran into this post when I went to your main blog. (Btw, kudos on blogging! I’ve tried to start my own, but I stopped after a week.)

    Anyways, I am a Japanese-Shanghainese high schooler in the US, graduating in this June and moving on to study international business. Therefore, I would like to find out more information about Anker, because I would love to go back to my motherland (Japan) in my lifetime. I am looking into pursing a minor or double major in Japanese or Chinese also. If you could please help me, I will greatly appreciate this possibly life-changing opportunity~

    Everything happens for a reason, so I am hoping for the best.. Haha. I will check back with your blog often to see if you reply, but I think you have my email address?

    Thank you for this post! And sorry if my formatting is a bit off as I am also suffering from older iPad’s design flaws.. But I have noticed that hand held electronics work faster than PC in China.

  2. Hmmm… I just realized that my google account is connected to Word Press, but I am not able to access it… I’m not sure if it was my own doing after my attempt at blogging (deactivation) or if American word press is censored…
