I just wanna inform those non- native speakers that it's very difficult or it's impossible for you to get a job as an English teachers here in China esp. in the big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. I've been living here for five years and I am very familiar of the teaching scenarios of English teachers here. First, they accept only Native English Speakers esp. if you are white and you came from the countries of UK,USA,Canada, New Zealand and Australia, if you do not belong to this country, better not apply, as you will only get disappointed!!!! Don't believe the guidelines that are written in this discussion forum. Believe in those people who have been there, as they know better than the guidelines.
Second, non- native English speakers are only accepted in remote provinces, but also beware of fake recruiters, or those people who ask you a hefty fee just to get the job, it happened to a lot of Filipino and other South East Asian teachers, who were desperate to get the job, in the end, instead of getting a salary, they are the ones giving salaries to these unscrupulous recruiters...and they end up they with zilch..zero..nada...salary...
Last but not the least. ITS NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR QUALIFICATIONS, THAT YOU ARE OR WILL BE ACCEPTED, BUT BECAUSE YOU BELONG TO THOSE COUNTRIES STATED ABOVE!!!
MORE IMPORTANTLY, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THEIR BUSINESSES BETTER IF YOU ARE WHITE NOT BLACK OR BROWN...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WHO WANT TO TEACH IN CHINA!!!
