job offered but trouble with work experience?

Question

I was offered a job to work at abc360 in Hangzhou. The person who got me the job was actually my TEFL instructor two years ago. I have lived in China twice about 4 months each time and I studied Chinese and taught English. I just graduated in 2015 but I did do the two trips to mainland during my undergrad. The problem my company and I have is that they're worried that the government will turn down my work permit because I don't have two years of experience because my degree says 2015 but my TELF degree is dated from 2013. So maybe that would be from 2 years ago? We're not sure. They really want to hire me and I really want to work for them but this whole 'two years of experience' is messing things up.

Jacob, as you taught English in China before, I think it can count as your work experience. You can ask your former employer to give you a certficate about the work. That will help.
