Don't wait until jobs come to you, get out there and knock on doors. Especially if you know exactly the area you would prefer to teach. For example (if you're a bit of a lecherous old guy) you might want to go to Nanning, Guangxi. Well, if you're like me, Mr T or SB and fluent in Chinese you could just phone up all the schools in Nanning with gay abandon. Not enough effort is put in by the down at heel FT. Which is why they are down at heel.
