Work Visa (Z)

Paul Todd:
Willy,
My Oz mate got his Z visa from HK last week, but I haven't run into him yet. As soon as I do I will post up his story. I do have the web site link to  The Commissioner's Office of China's Foreign Minstry in HK, lots of useful info

I sent them an email telling them that I would go somewhere else because most places pay for it...

This morning I received a reply telling they WILL pay for it and WILL also PAY for flights back to the Uk and to them.  Included will be the cost of hotel for the time I need to be in London waiting for it. etc for me.;-)

And this morning I get this email:huh:

Dear Robert:
I am sorry,now if you coming we don't have job for you,but after the school help you get Z visa maybe will cost three month later,there has one teacher will leave our school and you can instead of him if you want.But untill now I still can't make sure give you a job ,because last day the leader just tell us later can't agree emploee more foreign teachers,but if we don't have more teachers,our classes will less also,we are talking with him these days.So can't give you answer now.If you don't want to wait too long,in qing dao,I have a friend ,she's company is doing foreign teachers things,she can help you find a job very easy and help you get Z visa without go abroad.I can give her email to you,you can email her.I also give you email to her,so maybe she will email you.she's name is amanda babyhoney53421@hotmail.com    she is in qing dao,a nice place,if you don't want to stay in qing dao,she also can help you find the other place which you like.
sincerely

On one hand I was sorry to hear this. But on the other hand I just had to laugh between "Babyhoney" and "swallow"? Exactly what kind of job is this? Here's another that will give jobs, meloveulongtime.com

Doesn't sound like they have the finances to afford a good salaried teacher. Sounds like they want some kind of bargain?

Rob,

Man I am sorry to hear about this development. I really don't know what I would do if I were in your shoes.

Shaun

Paul Todd:
First thing Rob is "DON"T PANIC"
 
There are lots of teaching positions over here and you are a valuable commodity! I know its comforting to have the whole thing laid out before you leave, but once you get over here you will see how in demand you are. Alarm bells rang for me when I read that they would pay to send you back to the uk and pay hotel costs!  Any serious offer includes a Z visa through Hong Kong, some schools will pay your travelling costs others won't. Everything in China is negotiable. Sounds like the agency in Qing dao is your best bet to start with and I would not discount " Swallow" either.I would follow these two up and see what opportunities they put your way. Remember you are in control here not them, if it looks dodgy or your not comfortable walk away. There really are lots of teachers required here so don't rush into taking the first job your offered. You have a base for a month set up in Qing dao so go from there. Any thing Ming Zhi and I can do to help, you've got it!
