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...
