I've been living jobless in my parents' home here in a poor outskirt of a Spanish city since I graduated from a Madrid university. I hate depending on my parents for my money needs. So, I've been looking abroad for jobs. As my mom is American, my English is good, I think good enough to teach in China. My attempts at getting a job there have been fruitless so far. What is needed may be a change in my jobseeking strategy. I've been applying directly to public schools and colleges without success.
I'm not interested in teaching in a language mill, but now I'd like to try recruiters. Can anyone advice me which ones are honest and good at placing Europeans in public EFL jobs in China?
My parents have agreed to come up with my air fare to China if I can get a job there. I feel I owe it to them to find a position that I can bear and at the same time pays me enough so that I can return home after a few years and be able to repay my air fare to them. I wouldn't mind living poor in China to be able to do so, noodles and rice as my major diet would be fine.
