Teaching English In China {China Shark's Thread}

<< < (4/10) > >>

Scottish_Rob:
Hi mike thought I would update you a little about me trying for work in Qingdao, as I had said before the job I was asked to apply for I did not do it, I thought it may have been too far from Kathy (who now wants to be called Ke REn (another story hehe))  Anyway I sent off 5 or 6 emails last night and got a reply this morning for a university in Qingdao, starting in March 2010, so I have asked to be given details etc.  So because of your posts about teaching, I would like to say, thank you.  If it was not for you (really) I would not have decided to give it a go.  So thanks Mike hope you are still enjoying your time there, and I look forward too maybe getting your email address or getting in touch when I come through....Rob

I've begun sending out inquiries about teaching jobs in changchun. It's a long story how this has come about but obtaining new employment has not been so favorable in my area and short of having a way to remain here and make my bills, I've now entertained going to China and live with my wife and teach until I can get something here in the states again.

My girls are not happy about it in the slightest but at least making some money is better than living in a box making no money.

Ed W:
Network Engineer for a datacenter colocation, much like what Ronan does I believe.

Ricky:
So we know of Buckland Group.  Is there any other groups that do placement?  I am particularly looking to stay in Shenzhen, but I dont' trust my own ability to get all the paperwork I need to get done, well...done.

China Shark:
Ricky check out Shenzhenparty.com That is where I picked up two of my three jobs in Shenzhen. Best suggestion is to come here to visit your girl and do all the leg work while she is at work. There are many people who will place you yet you have to be careful on who you trust here. You are the outsider and naive in the ways of the Chinese grifter. I've heard many stories of people taking jobs and working for a month and never getting paid and the local govt could care less. Best bet is to make connections while you're here and plan it from there. You are here until the 9th so you still have a week to lay groundwork before you come back possibly for good. This thing takes commitment and determination. If you want to do it there is more than enough opportunity here in Shenzhen.
