MEMBERS LIVING IN CHINA
« on: August 23, 2009, 12:06:19 pm »
I thought it would be interesting if we had a thread or posting of
   members who took the step and moved to china. then new and old
   members could direct any questions to them if they are planning a
   trip to the city they live in.  or we could help them in any way with
   arrangements for coming there. my freind Willy is in zhuhai and i will
   be in guangzhou shortly other than that i am not sure who else is
   there. just a thought as someone there could be of great help in
   helping others. what do you think on this????

Getting married and living there from 16th November mate...

I met my Keren in November through my cupid note to her, things took a turn for the better, in that our relationship (although not met yet) grew.

I decided to move there because it seemed an easier option, and because I did not want her to leave her family, knowing how important family is in their culture, apart from which, I was on my own, and their would have been more hassle trying to get them here than me going there...

Once I decided that I was going to move there, the first thing I thought about was 'what' am I going to do for a living, so I needed work, and this is what I come up with...

Here is the steps towards getting work as a teacher, which I think would be 'helpful' if anyone wants to move anywhere in China, and who needs to get work

I put my name onto the 'www.abroadchina.com' teaching site, filled in a resume and then sent it off to a few collages and universities.  Because I have never 'taught properly' I suppose i never expected to hear anything back...BUT BOY was I wrong...With the wealth of experience I have with through my Youth Work days, I have 'taught' in small groups and workshops, so I am supposing that this has helped.

There is a criteria to get teaching jobs through there, 1) Be a Fluent English Speaker; 2) Have at least a BA or BSc Degree; 3) (USUALLY) Have a Teaching Certificate, (however, this IS NOT really that important in SOME PLACES because they will put you through the relevant course should they want to...

In all resume's that I sent off I put in it, that I am not qualified as a teacher, BUT I'M WILLING to go on ANY and ALL courses needed, should THEY want me too...  I have currently had 8 job offers throughout China, and have been LUCKY enough to get an offer in Qingdao, (which of course I think I will take...hehehe)

Once I am there if anyone needs any advice feel free to contact me...

I'll be moving to Tianjin next year, currently planning on doing that around June.
Become the change you want today, or all your tomorrows will be like yesterday.

Well Ted as you know I am living in Zhuhai until the New Year and always willing to help out with anything I can do.

In the New Year myself and Xia are moving to her homeland of Shaoguan where we put down a deposit on a new apartment at the Weekend.

So I think we are officially engaged!
