Anyone know of any teaching-job vacancies in a larger city? Currently in a smaller city and would like to have more expat-friendly amenities. I have a secondary teaching degree from Canada (Math/Science). I have two years experience in China teaching math, physics, and chemistry for grade 12. Let me know here or wechat: pruneguy. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! My company is hiring if you're looking for work. I work in study abroad prep, but they are planning to open an international school next year, that I'm in charge of hiring for. I'll add you on WeChat right now, my username is HuoQiao Jobjed lol.

I am considering a return to dear old China. I am a native English speaker also fluent in Chinese, and have two years of English teaching experience from kindergarten to postgrad in Wuhan. Any posters know of good jobs?

Ok again my company is hiring and I'm the person in charge of recruitment so if people are looking for work I'm happy to help or at least give you an interview. Tianjin is overflowing with jobs, I'm helping recruitment for another company here as well and I am offered part time to fulltime jobs on a monthly basis that I don't even go looking for. There is a shortage of qualified people here in Tianjin for work if people are interested in coming to China to work.

Your situation is similar to mine when I was in Wuhan, and I still have contacts there, but I am thinking that I should probably expand my horizons beyond Wuhan. I am researching Tianjin now. How is the pollution? Wuhan was livable, but any worse may be a dealbreaker. I fell in love with Kunming when traveling through, but the salaries there are quite low, even for teachers.

I don't have any data in front of me but my eyes tell me that it is much better than it was last year. It's not great but Tianjin isn't really an outside type of city, so there's not much to do outside. Tianjin is a really cool city to live in but kinda sucks to visit. I love it personally.

NaanViolence posted:Do you speak Chinese? Are you learning? No and yes. That's not the issue though. I've had Chinese speakers with me for the majority of this stuff and it doesn't help. I also moved to Korea speaking no Korean and had some of this sort of thing given the general love of inefficiency/nobody having a clue how to do their loving jobs around here but it was nowhere near as bad as in China.

Magna Kaser posted:I was disappointed by 狗不理包子 and thought they were OK to worse than baozi 1/10th the price on any street corner. Did you have the expensive 狗不理 or the poo poo fast food kind? I had the expensive kind once like four years ago, some guy came and sang a song and did a dance and it was this real theatrical production the entire time we were there. It was kinda cool but I will never do it again. I usually am more of a street food kinda guy but I spent the last 48 hours after watching Liverpool-Arsenal throwing up nonstop over something I ate, while my wife took turns taking care of me while I was throwing up and saying "This is why you shouldn't eat local Chinese food" while I wasn't throwing up.

They were the expensive kind which is why I felt so shafted. If I had the cheap kind on the street I wouldn't have been so tiffed. Also jianbingguozi is p much anywhere in China, but I think it's originally from Shandong since that's what my Shandong pals told me--and shown by how there is a cart making it every 100m in Qingdao 24 hours a day.

Thanks so much! There's a bigger demand for physics/math teachers than there is supply at international schools, especially with a teacher's license in the subject you teach. Shenzhen is a nice city and has AP physics jobs that pay 30,000+ per month. Shanghai has a ton of A level /AP/IB schools hiring too. There should also be Canadian curriculum schools that only hire teachers with specific provincial teaching certificates. Your university would probably know more about that.

I've heard of some international schools in shenzhen and hong kong, probably beijing and shanghai too that charge upwards of 250,000 rmb per year for a student to attend. So yeah these schools have cash to pay their teachers. Forgetting about the salaries of teachers at international schools in the middle east, it's not unheard of for a hong kong school to offer 80,000 US per year tax free plus on campus housing. I've heard of esl teachers jumping over to international schools and somehow getting 30,000 per month too and they don't have teaching certificates.

Also this has happened a fair amount in Tianjin. The pickings are so slim that I may be going to Aukland and Sydney next month to recruiting fairs because we can't seem to find anyone to come work here. It's baffling to me, no idea why. It usually isn't 30k a month, most starting international schools are like 20k/22k a month. You can make more if you stick around longer in smaller companies like mine. Pays well, it is a good field to be in right now.

Thanks so much! HONG KONG LOR. MY GIRLFRIEND said she would recommend you for a job in Hangzhou but reading your credentials changed her mind to say HONG KONG. With a legit teaching degree and experience in a public system is very much easier for you to get a job in Hong Kong. Probably international school like the 2 Canadian International school, German Swiss and Jewish (both care about top teachers), and a whole bunch of others. There's also schools with more local flavour like Shanghai Victoria or Yew Chung. Just get your rear end down here. Unfortunately, the hiring season for the next school year is over unless it's some emergency substitute on some rare occasion.

March may be the season but a lot of places will be interviewing new candidates and filling vacancies through June. Many schools run their budget cycles by the academic calendar so June/July is their absolute deadline for filling positions. I don't know about Hong Kong though, maybe it's different there!

Like I posted above, there are fairs for international schools next month in Australia and New Zealand, so there may still be some people looking for people to hire and people looking for work...you'd think? I would love to work in Hong Kong, wouldn't want to live there, but it would just be so expensive I wouldn't really want to deal with all that.
